The voiceover said that this was the most fateful night of Melanie's life, but I think that honor should go to the night when she followed Justin into the Room.
Gosh, how I love Gabriel's death! Thank you, thank you writers! And didn't Gabriel look dead! Thank you, thank you Chris Pennock! Of course, that knight's armor with sword included at no extra charge give rise to truly pleasant speculations as to how it it got there. Did it come with the house? Why was it in a secret passage rather than on full display in the public part of the house? Why didn't it have a pink sash around it as any self-respecting suit of parallel time armor ought to have?
Incidentally, I have no memory of seeing Gabriel's death when it originally aired. But I don't know if I even saw the episode at the time.
OK, yeah, Kendrick's a showman, yeah, he's an action hero, but I'm starting to find him rather tedious. He's as virtuous as Joe Haskell was, especially now that he appears to have dropped all efforts to find Stella's murderer. I suppose that, despite what Flora said, he believes that Gabriel killed Stella. He is, as I said the other day, not very bright. But I wonder what would be happening now if the series hadn't been cancelled. I'm figuring either he would have killed Melanie or Melanie would have killed him. The writers would have had to flip a coin to decide which it would be.
