I try to think of a way they could have kept us engaged with the usual continuity during periods when the show was mostly set in Parallel Time.
Links
Episode 991: Parsing Sabrina
I look back at the opening of the Leviathans story, and see several moments that look a lot like men afraid of being gay.
Episode 992: Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t
In which I say that the 1795 storyline (a.k.a. ”Meet Angelique”) would have been better if Cavada Humphrey had played a grown-up Sarah Collins who was a bossy big sister to her bratty little brother Barnabas.
Episode 994: Polterguest
In which I wonder how Bruno could have expected to use Alexis’ piano technique to test her identity, since all the piano playing in this part of the series is represented by the same recording.
Episode 1006: Too Big to Do Anything But Fail
I list three occasions on the show when characters are addressed by the name of the actor who plays them.
Episode 1008: This Terrible Truth
I look back at Burke Devlin, and propose we read his relationship with Roger Collins as a case of repressed homosexuality.
Episode 1009: The Great Train Robbery
I mention some new music.
Episode 1010: The Larry Parts
Why Burke Devlin had to go.
Episode 1011: The Cast Came Back
I complain about the misogyny in this episode.
Episode 1017: The Struggle
Some talk about how different kinds of Christians might be expected to react differently to certain stories.
