I myself don't get a big thrill from a Frid voiceover. It's nice, and unusual, but nothing special. My favorite voiceovers tend to be from Grayson Hall.
I was sort of surprised to see Bramwell walking into Collinwood without knocking, after all his complaints about the rich Collinses - but I guess I shouldn't have been. This would be one of Bramwell's many rebellions.
The last time the lottery was held was ten years ago - I can't remember when exactly that was said, but I'm wondering: did Bramwell participate in it then? He would have been old enough, I think, but my impression is that the question didn't even arise. And did Barnabas ever participate in it? I'm betting the lottery would have been held at least once while Barnabas was alive. Maybe the reason Angelique didn't chase after Barnabas in this time band is that she got wind of the lottery and didn't want to come anywhere near it. No, I don't actually believe that, but I like throwing the possibility out there.
I'm not sure we ever hear any more about Quentin's time in prison. It's such an interesting back story for him, and I'd like to see some mention of it between him and Bramwell. Whatever Bramwell has been through, Quentin has probably been through worse.
