Current Talk '04 II / Re: Lt. Forbes Question
« on: December 27, 2004, 03:04:39 PM »Forbes and Millicent should have been more interesting than they turned out to be. Both are very competent actors yet, for some reason, I rarely think of either of them after I watch my tapes.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but the Millicent/Nathan sub-plot is one of my favorite parts of 1795/96. [spoiler]Joel Crothers did an incredible job with Forbes and his turn from affable good-guy to all-out-for-himself skum. And Nancy Barrett - I can't even come up with enough superlatives to describe her performances once Millicent went over the edge after realizing how Forbes had manipulated her. In particular, her work in the scene in the tower with Louis Edmond's Joshua after Barnabas had attacked Millicent is nothing short of brilliant. No matter how many times I watch it, I'm always in awe. For me it definitely ranks as one of the ten greatest moments on the original series.[/spoiler]
