Episode 1186: Fuck, Marry, Kill
I made two comments o this post. The one linked above discusses Daughters of Darkness, a 1971 film in which John Karlen plays a character who at first seems to be living the fantasy life of young men of the period, but who by the end turns out to be uncannily like Willie Loomis. He even has to dig a grave under the supervision of a vampire and the vampire’s short-haired female friend.
In the other comment, I explain my theory of how the events of the “Meet Gerard” arc (which includes 1995, 1970, and 1840) are undone by the end of episode 1198.
Episode 1225: Strong to the Finish
I mention a moment of intentional comedy in Dark Shadows, one so funny we had to stop the video for a couple of minutes to finish laughing.
Episode 1239: Dan
A remarkably sex-like moment on Dark Shadows, and the odd fact that show creator Dan Curtis was not a cartoon character.
Episode 1241: Frid’s Final Battle
I express my exasperation with Dark Shadows for developing two characters one whose entire role is that of Insistent Questioner, another whose entire role is that of Keeper of Secrets, setting them on a collision course, and then neglecting to show us the climactic scene where Keeper of Secrets must tell Insistent Questioner all she knows.
