#i like you because you have a conscience+ you don't like what you're doing+ the money really was for my silence+ so i started to drink OKAY! #welcome to collinsport maine! primary export is sardines; but close behind is monsters and monstrousness. #anyway. i do think it's really important to burke's characterization that even at the point where he gets to full picture: that roger; #bribed sam to stay quiet and not testify that roger was driving; and that sam's conscience has been killing him for ten years; #burke's first instinct is still revenge. i just think it's neat. can't unbite that rabid dog or something. #the news from collinsport #burke devlin #sam evans #dark shadows #i like that it was a collaborative effort; creating a monster. it's neat that burke's homecoming means that burke & everyone he used to kno #& trust in collinsport look at each other and realize what happened 10 years ago. roger set him up to take the fall. bought laura; #with prestige and the collins name. bought sam with a stupendous amount of money. even the people who smelled a rat (like bill); #stayed quiet out of loyalty to the collinses. and burke's decided to make it everyone's problem; even if they had nothing to do with it.
