In which we meet Carolyn Fredericks, who, like all roles played by Nancy Barrett, is a serious contenders for Best Character Ever on Dark Shadows: https://t.co/PIiBte4mZN

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which Barnabas and Julia find themselves in the far-off future year of 1995, where he is as big a jerk as ever: https://t.co/zBKsvLFJ1t

@televisionaryZW Now I'm hoping they start making the show again and use that premise.

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which I work up my ideas for another version of the "Parallel Time" segment into a story bible. The result is over 20,000 words long. I doubt anyone will ever read it, but it helped me to write it. https://t.co/KZMmgygxFa

In which Parallel Quentin, who never seemed to be at all bright, turns out to be even dumber than we had imagined: https://t.co/Vvj372tG3u

@televisionaryZW Dick Cavett would have been interesting - Shirley Chisholm laying out a case against the Vietnam War, Jimmy Dean... singing? Selling sausage? Trying desperately not to say anything dumb about the war?

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

@televisionaryZW In G. B. Shaw's play MAJOR BARBARA, there's a character named Adolphus who answers to "Dolly." It's really a shame that didn't become the default form by which all Adolphs were known, might have slowed Old Scramblebrains down quite a bit.

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which the writers, scrambling to get out of a Parallel Time that has already run out of story, resort to an Idiot Plot: https://t.co/PhzC7kdazf

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which the tables turn and Julia is the one to be incorrectly pronounced dead: https://t.co/cwYsnKjfyG

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which Julia has trouble staying awake, and we can sympathize with her: https://t.co/soDHJFFBye

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

One of two episodes of the original STAR TREK written by Art Wallace.

On this day in 1970, Obsession (Star Trek S02E13) debuted on BBC1.

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which we have our last look at Angelique Stokes Collins: https://t.co/fTP1Zs9ndh

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which every male character is, in one way or another, a killer of Angelique: https://t.co/Tk39AeZWwJ

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

@televisionaryZW Maybe you were the one I saw talking about a character from COLUMBO who crossed over to QUINCY, M.E., from which characters crossed over to B.J. AND THE BEAR. Which does not seem like a show that would be set in the same universe as COLUMBO.

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which Quentin threatens to kill Maggie, who realizes he is hopelessly insane: https://t.co/Jj2bj0caW1

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which Julia is afraid of being hypnotized, and Roger is afraid of being judged by Barnabas: https://t.co/fIbhGIWMm0

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

Dark Shadows Before I Die: Shadows on the Wall: Rediscovering the Visual Worl... https://t.co/Zv6WElusQ9

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

@ChicagoTVGuides I've seen the surviving episodes of Showoffs, it was fun. I've also seen an installment of The Magnificent Marble Machine, which was intolerable. Every aspect of it was dialed up to 11 simultaneously, as loud as possible, as bright as possible, as fast as possible.

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which Angelique knows who Julia is, so we know that Parallel Time cannot go on much longer: https://t.co/2gM4W2aFNA

[DS Commentary @DarkShadowsAcil]

In which Maggie, unable to sleep, goes to Barnabas' place and is startled to find Claude North there: https://t.co/Jx6L24ZXNH
