Wow, digital surely improves the quality. I hadn't been wowed by it really until seeing the bottles on the table in the lab. What a noticeable difference. My second wow came right after that with the grotesqueness of seeing Julia sewing up the body.
Weird conversation between Barn & Jules. I didn't like it. It didn't flow, even Grayson had trouble with it. And the fade into the next scene was very noticeable to me as something I've never seen before. I don't know that it is so. I liked it.
I like the scene between Vicki and Jeff at the Great House despite the fact that it wasn't very well done in all ways. Moltke's back to the camera was very off-putting. I do think I detected a bit of chemistry between them and I did like that. I didn't particularly like their second scene in the drawing room. Or the continuation after with the discussion of Barn knowing about the kidnapping though I did like that Jeff figured out that Vicki was remembering where she was and that the ring was her comfort during that stressful time, etc.
New makeup man?
This episode sucks. Nothing seems right. Our Love Is Here To Stay on the radio in the lab? The whole episode seems off kilter to me and I'm not enjoying it. The scene between Frid & Hall before he leaves to see 'Willie', WTF was that? Awful directing and no one is particularly at the top of their game.
I will give props for Davis' body language perfectly fitting the voice-over.
Tom being an independent vampire seems very wrong to me. I would expect that Nicholas would have control or perhaps be keeping an eye on him. I can't believe that it would be in his plan to have Julia bitten and lose control of the experiment. Unless it's his way of controlling her. But, I don't think so.
