A lot of good stuff happening here in this 'transitional' episode. Out with the old in with the new? After a shaky start the episode picks up steam with each scene better than the previous culminating in Angelique's ultimate fate and final victory, well, we'll see. I should be cheering that Ange is getting her due but at this point in time I just don't give a f**k anymore. Perhaps her being human ruins everything on the comeuppance scale. Great way to have Ange pay the price though. Frid gets the acting award for this episode. It's weird to have Frid in an episode and not be in just about every scene. HAA & LP were just okay. Rodan & Edmonds were very good. I'm inclined to believe that Cass confirmed Roger's beliefs as opposed to knocking him for a loop. He came across as hoping for a better results from a showdown, but I don't think he was taken by surprise, not really. I am a big fan of these Angelique/Barnabas moments when they get real with each other as adversaries in a calm reflective matter-of-fact kind of way. Today's scene was kind of like that and I liked it very much. Anybody ever wonder what made Lang think or know that Barn's vampirism would be absorbed by Adam and yet not manifest it'self in Adam. I'd love to see that equation written out on the chalk board. And once again Nicholas predicts his own fate through his torment of Angelique.
My favorite moment: Adam asks, "Why, why do people hate me?!!"
