over the weekend i finished watching the julia/tom jennings storyline.it seems some of you here are quite fond of it...and i have to say that there is something about these episodes i really dig.it's a very interesting little"arc" that has it's own "feel".the howling of the dogs and the music perhaps reminded me of the early barnabas storyline.julia is given a great opportunity to show another side of the composed salad that her character often was.and it marked the return of liz,who had been absent for a few months.
one thing i love about this show is that no matter what the characters are going through,no one is ever allowed to look bad.liz escapes from a mental institution,travels the hundred or so miles from wyndcliff to collinwood presumably on foot...and she doesn't have a hair out of place!
the show was otherwise focusing heavily on adam,nicholas and angelique around this time...and with this interlude that unholy trio was given a much-deserved rest.
on a personal note:i was pleased that during these episodes victoria winters was for all of her suffering finally rewarded with a new dress!a lush emerald-green affair.festooned with a gold-buckle belt and giant pockets.it was vicki's first appearance in that color(yes,i know i shouldn't know that but i do!).
