Episode 1056: The Parallel Sky
I praise another commenter’s suggestion that 1970 Parallel Time (the segment I call “Meet Another Angelique”) would have been better with Alexandra Isles as an evil version of Vicki and Lara Parker as her innocent victim, the second Mrs Quentin Collins. That would make it an inversion of the 1795 storyline (which I call “Meet Angelique.”)
Episode 1067: No More I Love You’s
Why Burke Devlin had to go.
Episode 1144: The Merry Widow
I explain how, without making the show any more complicated than it in fact was, they could have made the various Angeliques logically consistent with each other.
Episode 1147: The Strain
I say that David Henesy and Alexandra Moltke Isles, as David and Vicki in the first 42 weeks of Dark Shadows, used nonverbal communication to triumph over poor writing to present an interesting story of a troubled boy and a young woman learning to trust each other. I then try to explain why Henesy was unable to repeat that success as Tad in the “Meet Gerard” segment of the series.
Episode 1212: Once in Every Generation
One last time, I speak up in defense of Alexandra Moltke Isles’ acting.
