I agree that [spoiler]Angelique's torment of little Sarah is the worst thing she ever did but what may be a close second is what she did to Sam Evans. Rendering that poor man permanently blind so that he could no longer paint is just beyond cruel.[/spoiler]
As for the dream curse, I liked it and didn't find it at all boring, the only parts that were a bit hard to take were the fake props which scared everyone. But they were supposed to be accepted as the real thing. Now if Angelique had had me in her sequence my door would have revealed a raging fire, which is my worst fear.
John Karlen's acting when Willie had the dream was amazing and I loved it.
The Professor's engaging Angelique was brilliant but he made a fatal mistake afterward when he [spoiler]still ended up revealing to Sam just enough that Sam ended up having the dream anyway. Though he didn't feel compelled to tell him, over two visits I think, he ended up telling him just enough. Otherwise Sam wouldn't have had it. So the Professor's plan didn't end up working. Still I'm glad that in the long run Barnabas did not revert to becoming a vampire again.[/spoiler]
