Current Talk '13 II / Re: Discuss - Ep #0566

Has George Whitaker been demoted or promoted to Technical Director? This might explain some of the ghastly performances and staging of late. Ken McEwen associates & Sean Dhu Sullivan directs. Maybe things improve today.
John Karlen OV-O. Bad
I don't care much for Karlen's performance here but Hall is good. I'm not crazy about the writers not having Willie walk Julia home either. Mrs' J is cute/funny but I feel like she might be a bit out of character to be so aggressive with Julia. I can see the whole thing going down but just not so loudly or aggressively. Has the way to Mrs. J's room always been under the landing?
The Tom bite scene must have been very thrilling for first time viewers back in the day.
Mrs. J.: "Curtained off?!" "Too much sunlight??" (lol) Cute camera angels with Julia in the mirror, etc. but a little rough. And good old Mrs. J with Barnabas down in the foyer. Tee hee! Always enjoy Blackburn.
Did Willie really have to smile like that when he entered Julia's room? (BOOOOOOOO!!! from the gallery and maybe a tomato or two.) Anyone think Willie's figured 'it' out by noticing Julia's reaction to the dogs? It seems as though Barn may have figured it out once Willie reports back to him. I can see why you are not buying Barn's exaggerated reaction to her wounds, ILB. I'll tell you what I'm not buying, it is Tom's intelligence as a vampire. I don't have a reasonable explanation for it but it just seems 'wrong' to me.
Julia leaves as she came, ignoring Mrs. J. I wonder if Liz were home if MJ would alert her to Julia's strange behavior?
The closing scene was the best scene in the episode. It was very well done on all fronts and I enjoyed it very much. Hall was very good throughout the episode. Seeing Julia as a woman only and not a doctor or sidekick seems almost novel.
