Too Anthony-George-heavy for my tastes. Undeniably an important episode, though, this is where the bitterness starts. You can't help fixating on Barnabas and climbing inside his head as what's happened sinks in, because we know how long the bitterness lasts and how twisted it gets. It's a transforming moment. This is the kind of moment writers have always written about, the time when the world comes along and crushes the innocence out of you, and you're never the same again.
Nice job being the romantic lead (as he described his role in that article), Mr. "Lemme Outa Here" George. I just can't stand to watch or listen to him trying to get romantic, for whatever reason. One reason must be that he's not exactly into the show. I realize I'm not the intended audience for his romantic acting, but maybe others here can corroborate his irritating nature.
By the way, in real life, after a challenge to a duel was issued, everybody generally spent a lot of time trying to figure out creative ways of weaseling their way out of the duel....! Not many actually took place.
