What the hell happened to that storyline? I suppose the ending seemed so sudden because I never knew what the plan was in the first place...Jeb was going to marry Carolyn and then...they were going to give birth to slimy little Leviathan babies? Was that the plan? Who knows...
The ending was fairly predictable. As I predicted on this very blog, Jeb's Leviathan heart was turned to mush by Carolyn. This mushiness forced him to betray Nicholas Blair in his sparkly cape of evil. Then, after the destruction of the altar and the box, Jeb should have disappeared, but, instead, he remained alive by a SHEAR ACT OF WILL!!!
Didn't make much sense to me, but, hey, this is Dark Shadows we're talking about here...
Anyways, here are a few highlights and lowlights from the storyline...
MVP: Bruno!
Man, how diabolical was Bruno during that storyline? Not only did he terrorize that imbecile, Maggie Evans, but he nearly finished off Jeb with his ingenious plan involving Chris Jennings and the zombie sheriff. Although, the show never did explain exactly how Jeb and the werewolf escaped from a sealed tomb. Hmm...
Best Moment: Reunion between Nicholas Blair and Angelique
The look on Angelique's face when Sky introduced her to his mentor, NICHOLAS BLAIR, was priceless. Angelique, did you really think you'd be able to have a happy, normal marriage? Ha! An additional bonus of Angelique and Sky's separation was that Angelique returned to her conniving, witchery ways...
Most underused character: Professor Eliot Stokes
I really thought Stokes could have been more useful in this storyline. He had his moments near the beginning but then he just faded away. Did he forget about the Leviathan invasion? Where the hell was that guy when Barnabus and Julia needed him? Oh well...the man was Petofi so I guess we can cut him some slack...
Worst Storyline Tangent: Quentin and Amanda Harris Attempt to Return from the Dead
What a waste of time that entire debacle was! Maybe it's just because I hated Amanda Harris (the more annoying, pig-nosed version of Maggie Evans), but watching her bumble, cry, and complain during her escape from Purgatory Hotel just annoyed me. Thank God she was too stupid to cross that bridge...
Funniest Moment: Quentin smashing the lamp after pulling the sword off the wall
How funny was that when Quentin grabbed the sword off the wall and annihilated that lamp? And the best part was you could hear some guy cleaning it up in the background while the scene continued. What a DS moment!
On a side note, could Maggie Evan's skirt get any shorter? There were two occasions when I actually saw ass cheek flashed. Oh well...I guess Maggie isn't all bad...
