- Nicholas feels very pleased with himself until Adam comes in saying that he wants to take Vicki back to Collinwood. Adam goes to Barnabas and Julia who agree to creating a mate for Adam but insist that Vicki be released. Nicholas introduces Angelique to the Magic Mirror. Instead of seeing their reflection, they see Vicki in the locked room. Doors are unlocked and Vicki finds her way out the house. Nicholas has helped erase everything that has happened in Vicki's memory.
No show ever like Dark Shadows. Best cast by far. ADDICTED !
You are right, enjoy the show. 🎉🎉
@@jeffzloczower2886 My dear Angelique 😍
Humbert Allen Astredo has a great speaking voice .
He really does 🥺💜
I know the Adam Arc is rather unpopular with the fans but Nicholas makes the arc for me, love him 🥰
Nicholas definitely makes the Adam storyline bearable lol
I have liked the Adam Arc ever since first seeing it as a kid during the original run of the series in the 1960s, and then again when it was in syndication in the 1970s, and then when I saw it on DVD as an adult in the early 2000s. I am continuing to like it now that I am seeing it again after many years.
Adam's Arc is an interesting version of the classic Frankenstein. Nicholas Blair's delightfully devilish role as the warlock puppet master surreptitiously pulling Adam's strings to do his evil bidding in opposition to Professor Stokes' attempts to teach Adam ethically correct behavior adds a great deal to the story.
The ironic poetic justice of Nicholas bringing Angelique back as a vampire to do his bidding in this storyline is the wonderfully delicious icing on the cake.
Enjoy the show 🎉🎉
Adam actually started developing a conscience after his meeting with Professor Stokes and felt wrong about holding Vicki captive until Nicholas had to work on Adam some more and succeed.
Vampires don't have a reflection in a mirror but for a slight moment Angelique did! 😅
There will be more. Apparently, Angelique is a unique vampire.
11:20-11:23-The top of Angeliques head. But then this is Nicholas's magic mirror.
She needs the mirror for all that beautiful eye make-up.
@@bruce8808 In some upcoming episodes, Angelique's reflection is seen in other mirrors as well.
Perhaps when Nicholas brought Angelique back as a vampire, he allowed her to still have a reflection. It would make sense that he would want her to be able to maintain her alluring appearance to lure in hapless male victims and he certainly didn't want to spend his own time doing her hair and make-up nor hire a third party to do that.

At this point I’m wondering where Julia is going to conduct the experiment given that it was previously done at Dr Lang’s house, which has since been repurposed as Nicholas’ rental house 😂
The house Nicholas is renting is not Dr. Lang's house.
According to the Dark Shadows Wiki: Some fans confuse Blair House with Vicki's Seaview and sometimes with Eric Lang's house. On the original show three distinct exterior stills were used for these three properties...
Lang's House (469, exterior first seen in 470) was a three-story Italianate mansion c. 1870 made of brick with stone quoins at corners, a mansard roof, wide brackets, hooded windows, and a large porch at one end. It appeared to have a dozen rooms at least, with a raised basement...
Nicholas leased the house by the ocean, which is referred to as Blair House (549). Blair House was a three-story wooden shingled beach house in the Dutch Colonial style, with tall gambrel roof covering most of the second and third floors. It had balconies at second and third levels and a large porch across the ground floor. While the foyer door and trim differed from Lang's House, Lang's drawing room fireplace and archway with double doors were incorporated into Nicholas' drawing room (formerly the Old House master bedroom, with window to right of the fireplace), including Lang's black marble Victorian mantlepiece.
However, the rest of the set was renovated. Instead of the raised paneling, this drawing room was heavily wallpapered and dressed with different chandeliers and wall sconces, and had a door left of the fireplace instead of Lang's built-in bookcase. Several fluted pilasters remained around the walls, but the corner by the foyer door was reworked at a smaller scale.
When Roger first showed Nicholas the house (549), he removed dust covers from several pieces of furniture -- none of which had been in Seaview or the Lang House. Roger stated that no renovations had been done to this house in a very long time, though it appeared in good condition, clean and without tarnish on its brass fixtures.
I was joking but I was not incorrect. The front entrance door has 2 vertical windows of roughly the same dimensions in both sets (one has arches at the top while the others are triangular). The door to the main room is in the same spot, is the same door, and opens into the same vestibule (Lang’s has curtains while Blair’s does not). Same window adjacent to the door (the one that Vicki tries to open) and the same fireplace. Look back at videos 16-18 in the “Return to 1968” playlist.
The writers missed an opportunity here. Nicholas could have framed Barnabas for Vicki's kidnapping, not only turning Vicki, the Collins', and perhaps even Professor Stokes against him, but the tension between both he and Jeff would have reached a boiling point, not to mention the police apprehending him. Now that he's human, Barnabas will not be able to escape.
Why can't Adam find a "regular" girlfriend that isn't "created"......someone like Carolyn! 😅😂😮 That way, all the pressure simply disappears! 😅🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️
He has already kidnapped Vicki and lied to Carolyn too much. Although she has her own shortcomings she wouldn't be quick to forgive Adam.
@@bruce8808 Carolyn only falls for werewolves and Leviathans.
He wants Caroline, but she doesn't want him as a boyfriend.
@@melissajenniferjones9959 Maybe Adam is missing some parts ?
@@jeffzloczower2886 could be! Good point! 🤣😂
Dark shadows forever.
Book 'The Salem Branch' by Lara Parker has bad depiction of police as bad goony types who try to deny people their constitutional rights like to assembly!
