Oh SNAP!!!

Every now and then DS is capable of pulling off a legitimate shocker...

So just as I was becoming attached to Randle Drew, he gets bumped off by a "mysterious" man in the woods. Obviously this was done to set up Quentin for the murder...

And it seems obvious that Gerard/Judah is behind the murder since he's in the midst of setting up Quentin for false warlock allegations, but then Gerard tells Dawson (NICHOLAS BLAIR!) that it wasn't him.

Hmm...

So Quentin is finally thrown into jail (Which I don't understand. Can't he just call the sheriff into the room, stand on a table, and karate chop his way to freedom?), and Daniel is so upset he changes his will. This was obviously meant to be a SHOCKER!!! moment but I think everyone knew it was Gerard and not Gabriel who would be the new heir...

But Gabriel goes to make sure his father doesn't change the will back to favor Quentin...which he already did...Gabriel gets super pissed and STANDS UP OUT OF HIS WHEELCHAIR!

OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that's right, Gabriel can walk. He's just been pretending to be a cripple. Not only that but HE'S the one who killed Randle Drew so he could blame it on Quentin. That was a legitimate SHOCKER!!! moment from DS. I literally pissed my Barnabas underwear when he stood up from that wheelchair. Don't worry, though...I've got plenty more...

So now it's time for the big trial to begin...even though it's unconstitutional. I'm sure Trask will be on his game in the upcoming episodes and Quentin will be plenty intense...oh, and Barnabas will once again forget why he went back to the past in the first place...

OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gerard Stiles Gets Head...

So that actor playing Judah Zachery must have really sucked...

Why else would they have killed off the actor and placed his "spirit" inside of Gerard? Personally, I like the teaming of Judah and Gerard. Take the two best bad guys and roll them up all into one...nice...

So there's a lot going on in 1840 right now. Let's run down the list:

1) Gerard/Judah are plotting against Quentin...

2) Gerard/Judah are also plotting against Angelique who is a snitch...

3) Angelique is plotting against Julia who she thinks is hot for Barny (which she is)...

4) Angelique is using Roxanne the vampire to terrorize Julia...

5) Trask suspects Quentin is a warlock and responsible for Roxanne's death...

6) Quentin is trying to get into Daphne's pants while trying to discover the secret of his former love who committed suicide who turns out to be Daphne's sister!

Damn...Collinwood is a busy place!

And while all this is going on, Barny and Julia are doing nothing to change the past! I know it's a soap opera and all, but c'mon! At some point they should actually do something...

This blog and Judah Zackary are ALIVE!!!

Oh wait...no...Judah Zackary is dead. He came back only to die in an ether explosion.

So there was an issue with getting the next set of DS so I sort of stopped watching for...oh...four months, but now, just like any character ever to die on Dark Shadows...I'M BACK!

You know, I really like Gerard as a character. I know he's supposed to be a bad guy and all, but he's such a pimp! After the whole "marrying Quentin's wife to steal Collinwood" plan didn't pan out, he kicked that red-headed nimrod to the curb just in time to mack on Daphne the second she walked through the door. Then it turns out Daphne's packing heat. Gerard finds out and uses the leverage to try to rape Daphne. Oh that crazy Gerard...

Now, the head of Judah Zackary has evolved into the main storyline of the show. Pansy Faye Jr. and Julia have been hypnotized into becoming his slaves and forced to reconnect the head to the overly tall body. And let me tell you...that whole Adam experiment has really paid off in the long run. How many people have they brought back using that method? Judah was successfully brought back after lightning struck his plastic...I mean...gold mask. Of course, then the building collapsed and killed him, but I think we all know he'll be back one way or another.

After all, they always come back...
