Burke, Roger, and Carolyn all use the word "ghost" metaphorically, to refer to unresolved conflicts from the past that are still causing problems in the present. Liz and Vicki, each in her turn, responds by saying there are no such things as literal ghosts, only to hear the first person assert that there absolutely are. Giving this same little conversation to both Liz and Vicki is one of the ways the show tries to establish Liz and Vicki as mirrors of each other, of presenting Liz's current life as a possible future for Vicki and of Vicki as a revenant of Liz's past. <br /><br />The sobbing sounds Vicki hears in this one are the first occurrences that would have to be explained as the act either of a ghost or of someone trying to make Vicki believe there are ghosts. The next such moment will come in episode 14, and there will be several more in the weeks and months ahead. This tiptoeing is what the Dark Shadows wiki on fandom tracks as "Ghostwatch."Los Thunderladshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897455151203429353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664865869429189611.post-35078340057008594152016-07-01T18:16:33.328-07:002016-07-01T18:16:33.328-07:00For a moment at a time I always confuse David Hene...For a moment at a time I always confuse David Henesy with Billy Mumy, who of course was also all over TV at the same time. And these early photos show that that isn't a strange mix-up. That and David Collins' spooky behavior (think IT'S A GOOD LIFE).Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.com
