I'm going back and forth between having nothing to say on an episode, then pages to say on another. Joan B VO. Angelique's interrupted scream was a nice horror device (and they taped it that way twice, so it was intentional)... except that Lara seemed to have to wait for a cue to do it, I'm guessing, making for an awkward pause while Jerimiah redistributes dirt in favor of her location, and she doesn't react at all.
I can totally buy, dom, reckless Ang assuming that just because she knew how to raise the dead, having read the handbook and everything (and this may be a Miranda-free timeline, in which she hasn't tried all the big spells yet), she must have total control of said dead person. She never concerned herself with what would happen after she's done this to him... he'll just go back where he belongs, no worries!
Someone once said that basically people only notice other individuals if they are perceived of being "of use", on some level, in some way, this being why old and/or infirm people (and the not conventionally "attractive") are shunted aside so easily. So Jerimiah post-usefulness wasn't even a factor in her mind (until he made it one). She never asked anybody for a "get back to your grave" spell. Instead, she treats Jerimiah like a bad dog, swatting him verbally on the nose with a newspaper as if that will help, which is funny to watch in itself...
There must have been a very nasty video glitch or something, because while Bland is expressing his unease to Barnabas, for a moment an image of Barnabas from a different angle and moment is spliced in. Other glitches are left in, so it must have been major.
More later.
