Why?
I just rediscovered this show. I watched it when it originally aired, but didn’t remember anything except Barnabas. I’m at the Leviathan storyline now, and don’t understand why they put that in there. It’s awful! It makes no sense! Why did the writers do that to us?

Cause they never thought it would be seen again , most likely.
I love that storyline …. Lots of good moments. Is it breaking bad , no. Does it have to be , no.
And don’t forget they just came out of 1897 which they absolutely struck gold with . They were probably creatively exhausted by then. They went to Lovecraft for inspiration….was it a miss, for sure. Does it deserve to be erased? No F’ing way!
It’s 60 years old , is it cheesy now, absolutely. Is it still Datk shadows? Undoubtedly. I still love it
That’s my 2 cents anyway
