This ep. features one of Louis Edmonds's finest hours. David Henesy also does very well indeed.
And the mystery of Mordecai Grimes's ex-cattle is solved.
But where the heck is Barnabas? And Julia?
-
Wow! David Henesy’s voice has changed big time!
Quite the orgasmic séance experience Dawson had, eh?
I can’t believe Daniel would leave his worldly possessions to Gerard.

had forgotten that Mildred the constable's wife was the daughter of Mordecai Grimes. How many times a week do you suppose Mordecai drops by his son-in-law's office and tells him that so-and-so ought to be arrested?

Yes, that was fun to watch. I tend to think of Humbert Allen Astredo's face as being fairly flat, but from the angle from which we looked at it during the seance, I saw lots of curvy knobs.
The scene between Tad and Daniel interested me, because David Henesy's character was interacting with the character that Henesy played in the 1795 storyline. It doesn't really matter, because the character of old Daniel has pretty much nothing to do with the character of the Daniel whom we saw in 1795, but it kept distracting me anyway.
And yes, DarkLady, I agree that Louis Edmonds was very moving today. Not as heartbreaking as he was in the basement of the Old House in 1795 - but he was very real. And this is the same man who played 1970 parallel time Roger!

Sorry, all I can think watching Louis Edmonds here is that he shouldn't be shocked to the point of trauma by a murder in the family. He should be offering Q1 handy tips on body disposal, how to clean up after, etc.. And when the Constable was there, Daniel should have done his "Randall can't be dead, because I didn't kill him!" routine.
Dawson's good at faking possession. I think he's into devil worship mainly for the theatrics!
Whenever they fixate on Quentin in gaol and the trial, I feel as if DS is doing something nasty in my general direction, in an outrageous French accent. Anything but another witchcraft trial and Quentin-clone murder arrest. How dare they ask me to care about that.

Call me crazy, but I did care about what happened to Quentin and am one of the few who does enjoy the 1840 trial. I'll be the first to admit that having a witchcraft trial in the 19th century is ridiculous, but DS is a supernatural show, it was never intended to be a realistic Law and Order/CSI show.
Didn't enjoy Vicki's trial in 1795 so much, not so much because that it was silly to be prosecuted for witchcraft even in the 18th century...it was because I hated seeing Vicki act like such an idiot, basically sealing her fate with her totally honest testimony that made the judges side with Trask.
Other than his [spoiler] unfortunate outburst and threats against Charles Dawson when he took the stand [/spoiler] Quentin kept a clear head and his smarts through out the trial. Can't really say the same about Vicki.
