Dark Shadows on Tubi

[Dark Shadow]

I always thought Sabrina was intentionally dressed down. Had she been glamored up like the other two, she would have given them both a run for their money. I think her look in DS showcased her physical beauty perfectly.

I can appreciate your thoughts on KLS as well, she's a genuine class act. I have a similar appreciation for Joel Crothers, it's a shame he left the show when he did. I thought he did a fantastic job with his Nathan Forbes character, and think he could have brought much more to the show than he was allotted. I also enjoyed him as Miles Cavanaugh on Edge of Night back in the day.

^Yeah, I think Raquel deserves that poster love more, too.

I may get myself in trouble, but I find DS' Katherine Leigh Scott very attractive. And she's aged very gracefully as well, and she seems to have been the biggest torch carrier since the show's demise.

Unfortunately, she's about to exit the show in the episodes I'm watching.

I'm strictly on the sidelines, but I've always thought Kate Jackson was very attractive. Farrah, meh--no match for Welch.

^I'm definitely more of a brunette guy, too. The stereotype of the "smart brunette" always worked on me. Heck, I married one!

Kate Jackson has spoken! She finally got to utter some dialog, and she didn't disappoint.

When I was a kid, I thought of her as the "plain" Angel, but honestly, I now find her WAY more attractive than Farrah Fawcett. Jacklyn Smith was my pick then and now, but Kate's a close second. Not that they should be judged by that, but I honestly don't get the Farrah thing in hindsight. Okay, I get that poster, but that's about it.

Chris

Yeah, I never got the Farrah thing either. I always enjoyed Kate and Jacklyn more. I never got the Suzanne Sommers thing either and always found her annoying. Joyce DeWitt was so much better. Maybe it's because I've always enjoyed brunettes more.

^^^I always liked Kate Jackson and agree.

Yeah, Storm is snarl right now, and that's it. Selby definitely has more charisma and presence, just standing there silent. I think Kate Jackson has that same quality.

I'm definitely interested in going back and watching the pre-Barnabas episodes, because I've never seen them. I'm actually getting pretty close to the end, in the grand scheme of DS.

Chris

Yes, definitely, I agree...Kate fit perfectly and really shined. I look forward to your thoughts on the final stretch as well as "The Beginning".

I hated the parallel time/Bramwell stuff...snore!...I only wanted them to get back to Barnabas and company in "real time", but of course, that never happened, before the end of the series. I didn't mind the parallel time stories when the "real time" cast (characters I'm invested in and enjoyed watching) was involved, but once you removed them, I'm out...ugh.

^I'm probably going to watch it all. I've come this far, right?

I'm currently in the storyline after Barnabas and Julia return to 1970 and are trying to stop the destruction of Collinwood they witnessed in 1995. I have to say, I really don't understand why they redid the "Turn of the Screw" adaption, although I think having a young Kate Jackson playing the ghostly governess is an upgrade!

Chris

I concur!

The only reasoning I can imagine for the redo, is that the ratings had soared during the 1897 flashback, perhaps Curtis thought "Turn" was a such great story that could have been done better and felt many had missed out the first time around (and/or most had forgotten about it after Selby brought Quentin to life in such fantastic style). I agree that Kate was a great addition, but prefer the creepy portrayal by Selby over Storm.

Enjoy!!!

I'm alternating between the early episodes and the initial Barnabas story line right now, interesting contrast.

^I will. I hope to at least get to the last appearance of Barnabas and the "current Real Time" timeline. The Bramwell stuff sounds headscratchingly dull and like they wanted the show to be cancelled. But If it's still on Tubi when I get there, I may move forward with it. Then go back and watch the pre-Barnabas episodes I skipped.

Chris

The 1841 Parallel time has some interesting moments, and is only about 60 episodes long. If you have the time, I would encourage giving it a shot. But to be honest, if I had to choose between the the beginning or the end, I would choose to watch the first 200 (plus) episodes. It really has some great stuff packed in there, and the early David & Roger/Vicki dynamic is pretty wild, then toward the end when Mommy shows up...definitely worth a once through!
