A Glimpse Into Leviathan (part one)

A much maligned storyline, and one of my favorites.  It has almost every monster known to Dark Shadows (including a few new ones), including ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches, and icky slimy things from the dawn of time; fabulous late 60s fashions; our beloved present time characters; plenty of Don Briscoe; Julia-the-detective; and, as she's my personal favorite, beaucoup de Angelique, kicking ass and taking names in the latter part of the story (while managing to look fabulous the entire time).  It's also a very compact chunk of story, especially if you've struggled through 1897, and while 1897 is well-plotted and performed in its first half, the second half comes off the rails the majority of the time.  The Leviathan story, while admittedly ludicrous, is also a lot of fun, and can be ingested in far less time than 1897 or 1968 (especially if you're not afraid of the fast-forward button; I'm not).

Here are a few of my favorite grabs from the Leviathan episodes, with the promise of more to come.
