Great episode with all that stuff going bump in the night.  The scenes were very well written and acted, especially the ones involving Maggie and David.


I must say, though, that I would expect Mrs. Johnson to have provided more in the way of dinner than a mere sandwich and a glass of milk.   Those Collinses must be bigger cheapskates than I imagined.

I loved the hubbada hubbada moment where Julia tried to explain why she, a trained physician, had declared a live woman dead and consigned her to the fate of being buried alive.  Julia would have made a great politician!

I rather liked Elizabeth's unexpected return to Collinwood, with Barnabas saying "Who could that be at this hour?"

I'm amazed at how long some of these actors can go without breathing.  That shot of Vickie on the table seems to go on forever.  The problem with such scenes is that I spend all my time looking to see if the performer moves or inhales. 

I wonder if "modern" Collinsport has as many prostitutes hanging around the wharf plying their trade as 18th Century Collinsport apparently did.  And speaking of prostitutes, since when do they not only reveal to their johns that they know who they are but that they plan on telling all their girlfriends about the encounter as well?  What ever happened to anonymity? 

I'm still really bothered about this being 1796 instead of 1795.  Vickie was either hanged in 1795 or she wasn't.  It makes zero sense to suddenly change the year in which it happened.  It would be like traveling back to the past to try and stop the assassination of JFK and going to 1964 instead of 1963 to do so.  Dumb

I agree. 

Another strange thing is why has the date of Vickie's execution been moved from 1795 to 1796?  I realize it's probably because of the change in the calendar year from 1968 to 1969, but it's still pretty stupid and illogical. 

For a second it seemed as if Julia were the one being transported back to the past.  I almost expected to hear her scream, "Barnabas, you blew it.  You were supposed to be the one going back, not me!"

It's great seeing all the originals - Elizabeth, Roger, Carolyn and David - back together again for the same episode.  That's one of the nice things about the Quentin storyline.  It gets us away from the Old House and back to Collinwood proper, which means the principal players get more story time.

Anyone else notice that Denise's name was absent from the closing credits?

Very tender scene between her and Chris.  Really like the music they played behind it...one of the best pieces used on the series.
