Episode 943: From Within
In which I agree with Danny’s assertion that “empty boxes don’t magically rewrite people’s personalities.” As every Dark Shadows fan knows, only music boxes can do that.
Episode 946: Universal Monsters
In which I comment on the apparent self-awareness of the show at this point.
Episode 948: War Games
A couple of funny moments from the episode.
Episode 958: The Not Normal
Why one might have hoped to see Bill Malloy again.
Episode 960: Time and Temperature
In which I say that the episode needed to be more depressing, and suggest a change that might have accomplished that.
Episode 962: The Second Law of Thermodynamics
How the lack of non-supernatural storylines impoverishes the human characters, making it difficult to pace the supernatural ones.
Episode 968: The Only Weakness
In which I complain that the show has run so low on story ideas to plagiarize that they are trying to turn the title into a plot point. I wonder what the next step is beyond that.
