This is a great episode for new viewers to hop aboard. Not too much story baggage to bog things down. This is the storyline I have been waiting for to try to start watching regularly again and contribute to the Project.
[pointless aside]When I first saw DS in syndication, the local station showed from Barnabas' arrival to 1795 to Vicki's return and the introduction of Lang and Angelique's portrait. Then the station took it off the air because of ratings! Years later, I caught some of 1897 on Sci Fi (right around the time Count Petofi showed up) before my satellite service when kablooie. Now I have the whole series on DVD and I still haven't got through a whole viewing of it.[/pointless aside]
The creature Liz describes is unseen and the scarier for it. Amy is adorable, but a little strange at the same time - staring at Liz with those big soulful eyes. I like that she and David strike up a rapport right away. She isn't afraid of the dark and is intrigued by the idea of ghosts....
I like that the store room is dusty and cobwebbed, but when Amy finds the phone it looks like it's just been freshly dusted. The lighting is great too especially on Amy's face when she talks on the phone the first time.
"hello, what's your name?" All very innocent at first but I actually did get some shivers down my spine watching that scene tonight.
I have a little "aww!" moment whenever she says "Quen'in"
Julia tells Elizabeth that the sedative she gave her will start to work quickly, but some time later, she is still wide awake enough to shoo David and Amy to bed. I suspect either the sedative was not as strong as Julia thought, or with all the drugs she passes out, everyone is starting to build up a tolerance to them!
