People seriously underestimate how GREAT the original Dark Shadows soap opera was. There was:

YOU SHOULD GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT DESERVES SO MUCH MORE LOVE THAN IT GETS DID I MENTION I LOVE THIS SHOW

And all of this happened in the course of 3 episodes!

Not really, but I tried to describe the plot of DS to someone and a third person in the room stopped me with this: “You’re speaking English, but we don’t understand you.”

afinpassing said: I’m the worst, I somehow wandered away in the middle of 1967 Laura what is my problem????

okay yeah i will admit here and now that the first time i started to get antsy with the show was the laura plot but that was only because I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE SHOW AND THE HEARTBREAKING UNEVENNESS OF STORYTELLING

DR. GUTHRIE HAD A PILE OF EVIDENCE

HE HAD A PILE OF EVIDENCE

20 EPISODES OF DENTAL RECORDS AND MISSING BODIES AND NEWSPAPERS AND EMPTY COFFINS AND DIED BY FIRE AND PORTRAIT DRAMA AND FIRE GAZING I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING SOMEWHERE

I didn’t realize that WAS the plot and not the build-up

WELCOME TO DARK SHADOWS, NEWCOMERS
