Complete this phrase setup:

"Though he'd seen it/them many times during his many walks through the woods, Joe couldn't help but be stopped dead in his tracks and dumbfounded every time by the now familiar but always quite shocking sight of....!!"

corneas

square framed glasses like that guy in The Byrds

Anyone find it odd that Stokes sounds surprised that Julia thinks the witch is a woman? I thought it was twice established that Cassandra/Angelique was the witch that set the dream curse in motion. Wasn't it stated at the beginning of the episode?

We get treated to the waves again.

Willie and Barn - LOL. Willie is a ninny today. And Barn is too normal for comfort. They were like a bickering married couple. I really enjoyed Karlen today.

All I could think of was Quentin & Amanda's cave while looking at the cliff bottom of Widow's Hill

Seeing Liz with her hair down is fun. The whole Carolyn/Liz scene was a bit absurd. Especially when Liz tells Carolyn she is safe as can be after having just chased Willie out of the room. As usual Carolyn heads down a fool's path. We can see where she is going with her reaction to her previous circumstances with Adam. It does warrant an eyeroll from this viewer.

Magnus, you'd think the writers would have Barn make some show of emotion regarding being at the spot where Josette died and now possibly Adam. Very insightful - it was totally lost on me.

Carolyn is too sympathetic regarding her tormentors, she should have been that kind to her boyfriends.

And the dream plays on...or does it?

Carolyn is not dead, but may as well be as played by Barrett. Liz thinks Carolyn is dead or soon will be. Vicki tries to comfort her - and the phone rings. It's the authorities informing her of Adam's capture and that there is no new news of Carolyn. Liz goes to town to talk to Adam in hopes of locating Carolyn. Vicki tags along to keep Liz as levelheaded as possible.

I thought root cellars were underground, but, whatevah. A trapped Carolyn tries to reason as a way to keep her sanity but that lasts about 18 seconds. Barrett is good here.

Liz & Vicki arrive at Adam's cell. But there's no relief for any of the three of them though we know what Adam is trying to relate to them.

Both Carolyn and Adam are desperate to reconnect with each other if not for the same reason, well in a way it's the same - I like it when this type of juxtaposition is used.

Liz has pretty much figured out much of the puzzle that is Adam and explains her theory to Vicki. It's pretty much the setup for the excuse Barnabas will inevitably use to explain the recent series of events. Well, that's my best guess.

I don't really get the point of the scene with Cass & Vicki - I guess it will explain it'self at some future point. Nice to know Liz still has and trusts her superior instincts.

Adam escapes - I am picturing him running away and joining a traveling circus as a strongman.
 
I think Moltke & Parker were useless here and the show could have been fine with the remaining four characters. I had a pinch of nostalgia listening to Bennett talk to Rodan in the jail scene, it sounded so 'old movies' to me. I get a kick out of seeing Vicki in the trenchcoat. I think this one is different than the one from the beginning of the series and I get most of my thrill knowing this is the trenchcoat and time period that we see Vicki Winters on the cover of the Ross novels. It is very nostalgic and takes me back to a time I actually enjoy remembering. The Ross novels were a lot of fun collecting, back in the day, as was being a DS fan.

Thanx for the recommendation.

I totally agree, MB, at certain instances the double exposure was awe inspiring and actually mesmerizing. I was very impressed.

"I think acting should look as if we were working a *little* ... See, you mustn't have *any* idea that *anybody* knows the camera's on them at all. You see: it's just life. Well, we all have life, 24, 12 hours a day, and sometimes we want to forget life, you know. And I think it should be a *little* larger than life. A little bit theatrical."  Bette Davis
