Barn’s latest plan is quickly set into action. “THE BAT!!!” “What bat?” (lol) The scene was a little hokey but it worked for the most part. If only there’d been guano – that would have been proof enough that there was a Bill Baird bat in David’s room. David’s no idiot, he knows it’s Barn’s dirty work. Do you suppose that was Barn?
Does that vertical column in David’s room bug anybody? It bugs me every time I see it.
Dear sweet Roger, lol. He let a bevy of cats out of the bag during his visit to the Old House to talk to Barnabas. So many things for Barn to think about – Woodard, Julia’s lying (again), David blabbing about the basement & Barn rising from a coffin & Sarah’s warning, etc. I loved this scene and it was so well done, Frid stumbled a bit in the middle of it but got his groove back. His physicality was marvelous, his facial expressions practically flawless. I loved it.
Dr. Woodard & David: Great scene. Well acted (Henesy did refer to Willie as “she” twice in one sentence though) and very exciting in a subtle way. I know I say this a lot but I love Gerringer’s acting and I especially liked the tenderness and sensitivity his Woodard shows toward David in this scene. No wonder Barn was alarmed when Roger mentioned Dr. Woodard. The Doc could (at this point) turn out to be David’s second greatest ally, Liz being #1.
Liz and Dr. Woodard to the rescue!. Liz’s fierce protection of David’s best interests is one of the main reasons why she is my favorite character.
The one thing I am having a little trouble with is the fact that after all that has happened at Collinwood and the Old House, why doesn’t anyone believe in ghosts? Were all the ghostly happenings explained away at some point, like the sobbing ghost actually being Liz, etc?
David & Sarah: Another good scene as far as content. Oh, Jeez, another doll, oh, okay, toy soldier (I refuse to say action figure, lol). I’m pretty sure I remember to whom the toy soldier belongs. I don’t think Sarah’s doll or the toy soldier possess any talisman type powers, but instead serve as distractions to would-be evildoers.
Batman got no credit today. I wonder if the opening scene was a retake because the bat pole showed up again in the shadows. Would they have really let that show up twice?
