It really wasn't his fault what happened to her....he did try and get her to leave his place when he was about to change. He didn't know she would come back after he had changed.

I think Chris was, at the very least, negligent.  Even if he never intended to harm Sabrina (or anyone else) and tried to stop the tragedy once it was in motion, did he do reasonably enough to prevent it in the first place?  I don't think so.

(I'm suddenly imagining Jack McCoy charging Chris with criminal negligence and Chris refusing his attorney's advice that he plead insanity.  But that's a Law & Order junkie for you.  )

I think Sabrina totally needs to be in a psychiatric care facility, though my reason for thinking Windcliff isn't the best choice is that her recovery would be contrary to Julia's interests.  But Ned is so NOT what she needs.  He knows Sabrina can hear yet talks incessantly about her problems while she's in earshot.  And there's:  "If the only way I can make her remember is to shock her out of it, then I'm willing to."  No no no.  And no!  Meds.  Therapy.  We saw that she can become agitated to the point of collapse.  Persons with catatonia can be rigid, and they don't divulge their physical complaints.  (As a nursing student, I cared for a catatonic patient-- a victim of rape-- who went into early labor and the only obvious indication was that her water broke.)  Sabrina is in serious danger in his care.

I also don't get why Lela Swift wasn't reminding Roger Davis that his character was pawing his own sister.

But as someone who has worked in and around ERs during full moons, I applaud Stokes' theory about possessed children becoming restless on those nights.

Anyway... Why all the risky rushes to the mausoleum when there's a perfectly good cell in the Old House basement?  Tell the family you got a dog.  Or something.  

And as the family searches for David, why hasn't anyone caught on to the extra window on the exterior of the West Wing?  Though that's probably a stupid question, since linen closets are able to expand and contract and no one will notice that either.  Geez.

We learn here that Edward and Quentin were brothers, and that's good, but what was up with Barnabas learning that Jamison was Quentin's younger brother a few eps ago?

Ha ha to both!

Welcome, Sara Monster. 

Thank you!   

Woo hoo!  Maybe Mrs. Johnson can boil a cake in their honor.

Mine did.  GREAT cover shot.  The article itself and the photos seen inside the mag start on EW's home page (he has finished with Alice, it says), but the Q&A with him doesn't appear to be online.  I was intrigued while reading about Depp's insights into Dillinger that he talks about his entering prison (as a victim of his own "ignorance and youth") when "the world was one thing," but found it quite different when he got out.  Hmm, now what other character does that remind me of?

it may have been posted here or mentioned years ago.

I could only find a topic with this post that refers to this review:

Re: New DVD review

and couldn't agree more with Sandor about the review's diss of Don Briscoe.  His acting in these eps improved by leaps and bounds (no werewolf pun intended) and IINM, Briscoe also briefly plays Tom in this collection and managed to make the brothers distinctly different.  Calling him "one of the worst actors in the history of television" is totally unwarranted.

Well, B.Collins, you can check cast lists for the dramas, starting with this one:

and at least two more have also been involved.
