DS 136

[@chevyvantravel9735]

the verbal transaction between maggie and her father really DRIVE ME CRAZY.

[@jduff59]

you mean Naggie and her Pop?

[@natashamariestannard4423]

+Gringo Lol

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Me too. I can't stand them anymore. The writers really don't know what to do with them.

[@patrog21]

The fire painting - freak out!!!

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

Pat Sullivan I can see why David is having the fiery visions of Laura, as she is obviously targeting him. But why has Sam suddenly developed these extrasensory powers? Artistic instinctiveness?

[@reneeg7286]

atlantic 11561 ... Right you are. Oddly, later on when Barnabas shows up, Sam's sense of cognition doesn't seem so sharp anymore. He has no idea what's going on with his own daughter, and I don't think he even has any artistic urges about the matter, either.

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

Renee G By that time, the juice had really soaked Sam's brain!

[@patrog21]

Renee G He gets to staring off into space

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

If Laura changed her testimony, she would face perjury charges, and that would just about end all chances of obtaining custody of David.

[@reneeg7286]

atlantic 11561 ... interesting. Yah, cuz that would mean she lied before, huh?

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

Renee G Well, Laura pretty much made a habit of lying!

[@thomasleary2814]

Yay! 1967! Barnabas is right around the corner! With color episodes soon to follow! Yay!

[@inspectorspinda]

oh no. I like the bw

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Another 4 months. I like it the way it is. :(

[@ritvand8592]

Every time Vicky tries to talk to Rodger, he turns his back and walks in the other direction. Then when he sits down, she'll come over and try to talk and he'll get up and walk away. He just seems like a nerves snob that no one can tell him anything.

[@tomh4544]

He is a snob

[@inspectorspinda]

That's actually a sign that he's lying. Lying people don't like to look you in the eye

[@tomh4544]

Inspector Spinda That too

[@ritvand8592]

Or they don't want to hear the truth.

[@tomh4544]

I think Roger is a snob and doesn't want to hear the truth, only if it will benefit him

[@robertpentangelo4860]

Roger's mistake was using the family aka Elizabeth's lawyer-he needed independent counsel so Elizabeth could not stop him.

[@natashamariestannard4423]

True

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

That means they would have to hire different actors. I'm assuming that wasn't in the budjet on a show heading for cancelation soon.

[@jeffgorham8819]

I wonder what kind of paint Sam was using. I think acrylic paints might have been in use in 1966, but if it were oils, I wonder if the cover Sam drapes over it might cause the paint to smear.

[@julienielsen3746]

I thought that too. I started using acrylics in 1968. They started using them in the late 40's.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Colored blood.

[@RovingRoy]

Sam needs to play Dokken's "Into the Fire" on loud volume while painting! (Of course, he'd have to go into a time machine and get the recording).

[@lialee1488]

I love the mistakes :)

[@jduff59]

especially seeing the actors try to fight their way back into the script.

[@lialee1488]

How long have you been watching D.S.? I will never get sick of it. :)

[@jduff59]

Lia, considering since I was a little kid, 50 years, I watched it with my older sister after school. But I've been on this KZbin binge watch only the last few months or so. I had "Quentin's Theme" playing in my head one day. and found It and then all of the great episodes. Good stuff, yes?

[@lialee1488]

Yes, I love that tune.. brings back memories of being a kid and having a crush on Quentin! :)

[@jduff59]

I thought Quentin was cool, and "Quentin's Theme" is a tune I've never forgotten (at all) in almost 50 years. I think it's an amazingly haunting tune. Amazing how I could remember it note-for-note when I never actually heard it from the DS years until recently.

[@inspectorspinda]

Legal Representative! That "lawyer" keeps getting it wrong

[@jduff59]

He and Mitch were doing bourbon shots before filming the episode would be my best guess....

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

Come on, Vicky, Frank is going to head the law office in Collinsport, and he would definitely hire you as his secretary if David ever left with Laura!

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

That would have been a good way to get rid of her instead of the lame way they eventually took her out.

[@KRex1961]

How many times was Mr. Gardener going to flub that? Why couldn't he just say attorney?

[@Janadu]

KRex1961 In real life, people do this all the time and we think little of it. When it's on TV we expect everybody to be letter perfect all the time.

[@benjaminbeard9843]

And it's Garner not Gardener :)

[@natashamariestannard4423]

Rodger wants rid of his son clearly he is never going to win father of the year anytime soon.

[@inspectorspinda]

didn't we all know it already?

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

Oops, announcer got the year wrong. No biggie.

[@scdevon]

Adam Bernstein Happy New Year 1967.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I'll still be writing 2017 next month.

[@buddy51]

Is Roger suggesting they kick old Mrs. Johnson to the curb and install Vickie as the new housekeeper?

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

buddy51 If Frank is moving to Collinsport, he should hire her as his secretary!

[@reneeg7286]

atlantic 11561 ... Is it just me, or does anybody else really want to see Vicky and Frank hook up? .... They'd be such a normal couple if they did. :) .. But I also believe that the house (Collinwood) also has a say in the matter. It's my opinion that sometimes that house selects who it wants to live there, and possesses this person's soul to some extent. Hence, that's why Carolyn is so stuck there. The house might not want to see Vicky go anywhere, or do anything with Frank.

[@patrog21]

Renee G Yes but she loves the big tough guy ex-prisoner Burke Devlin.

[@atlantic-yq2wr]

Renee G Funny how the show had Burke dying in a plane crash in South America just as Vicky was about to marry him. In the Marilyn Ross novella "The Curse of Collinwood", Burke becomes the replacement boy friend for Vicky when her fiancée, Ernest Collins (a cousin or nephew within the family) is killed in a plane crash in South America!

[@reneeg7286]

Pat Sullivan .. Carolyn could do way better than Burke Devlin, believe me. But she can't take that step, because she's so afraid. She admits she fears leaving Collinwood several times in earlier episodes.

[@kendaellsworth2026]

Haha the chalkboard guy read air date as still 1966...guess even back then it was hard to remember the new year. Laura is one creepy lady and poor david cant get anyone to believe him that she scares him...hmmmm is it the witching hour yet

[@jovonnaholman2008]

Roger always trying to cover his butt!

[@davidchristman3597]

. Well you do know that Vicky has become very fondle of david like she was in fondle home

[@evangriner411]

I don't get why Laura is forcing Sam to create the painting of her and David. Its like she wants people to know what she's planning to do.

[@priscillajones7623]

I am a big big dark shadows fan

[@71mrspeel]

So frank and mr. gardener are moving to collinsport. .what happens to them? eventually they disappear off the show! The only other lawyer the show gets is tony peterson who becomes dr. hoffmans attorney and hides her diary about barnabas with him. If I remember correctly carolyn starts to date him.

[@basiliopainemil1522]

It must be wear a black dress day! hehehehe...
