Good comments, DL. you sound very caught up in it, considering you can't actually see the ep's right now. It's an easy ep to be caught up in. Eve coming on to Nick is nice to see, and inevitable, but I think that even if his plans didn't have to be otherwise, he's still learned that anyone as evil as he is is a bit too much trouble down the road... maybe that's why he seeks out an "innocent" like Maggie.
Good point about the publishing date of Cordier's book. Thanks for paying attention. Nice catch about Eve and Nick snagging the seats and Adam crouching on the floor... that sums things up doesn't it?
This is a very good episode. A lot happens. (Maybe hundredth ep's are big events... another was ep #1 of 1897.) It moves. We touch on a lot of different plot points and get new information. Eve is especially good. She's fuming and boiling with ego and contempt, and the whole Adam-Eve non-relationship, who and what she is, it's all established completely and very well in this one episode. The reason we're so frustrated and weary of it is that they repeated and kept re-establishing the Adam-Eve problem over and over for weeks, when it was all said and done with in these 21 minutes.
Eve: "Where did you come from?" "Never mind."- Nick. I love that. You just know he's just popped into the room from nowhere just off camera, at all those moments...
How long did Phillipe Cordier have to wait for someone to utter "Danielle Roget" so he could react, I wonder? What's a ghost do to twiddle his thumbs? By the way, I loved Eve twiddling her fingers out of boredom from being in Adam's presence.... Good idea of Elliot's, wait till the disturbance ends to touch the book, because the ghost might open it to a particular page.
I love that shot of the Moon over the Old House, AND the music accompanying it this time, as they start the seance. I need a way to refer easily to this music, but can't think of adjectives, certainly not any title. Anyway, it's so atmospheric that no matter how bad an episode, that music tugs at me to feel something from it. It has the feel of having stayed up all night, nerves frayed, waiting for an awful crisis to come to a head. That must be what they use it for.
My pitifully basic French tells me that Cordier's saying "It's me, I come". Nothing more than that. I can never remember what P Cordier's deal is... so he's jealous of Adam! The deceased moron! I thought he was going to warn us about Eve! [spoiler]Can't he pick up that Peter Bradford's in the vicinity? Get him![/spoiler]
