With help from a good online friend I now have a VCR again. Yes, Ben's intro seems to refer back to Matthew Morgan's, though that wasn't Thayer David as Morgan then..... they seem to expect some viewers to remember, which is nice.
Nightshade.... that comes from mushrooms, doesn't it? Unless I'm mis-remembering, nightshade=belladonna=atropine, the latter of which caused my eye nightmare condition.
Is this new music, when Ang picks up the discarded nightshade (a bunch of leaves, not mushrooms) from the ground? It seems interestingly harsh and surreal. It also occurred to me to appreciate once again that they continued to use the same music in 1795, rather than recording new "period" music. I'm not sure why I like this. Maybe I get PO'd when a show tries to drown me in "atmosphere" rather than concentrating on what matters in the story itself.
Not for one second does Victoria show any excitement or enjoyment about being in the past she supposedly loves so much.
