What a wonderful beginning to the episode! A man, elegantly dressed in a three-piece suit, is lying unconscious outside a cave. He comes to, and sees another man, also elegantly dressed in a three-piece suit, standing near him. Suit #1 runs off, whereupon Suit #2 obligingly falls unconscious so that we can revert to the status quo: A man, elegantly dressed in a three-piece suit, is lying unconscious outside a cave.
I loved the Victorian feel of this episode. All those men in three-piece suits (more of them!) worrying about a vampire, and the bacteriological chart at the doctor's office, and the dark wood, and, of course, the ferns. Is it always the same fern that we see here, there, and everywhere? Is it fake? If not, does it get bugs?
Sadly, the doctor didn't seem sufficiently Victorian to me. Maybe it's that his voice wasn't deep enough, or maybe he wasn't weighty enough. Victorian doctors should be ponderous.
Everything Victorian should be ponderous. Except the ferns. But their pots should be ponderous.
How arrogant is Quentin's body with Petofi's mind to not care that he is acting totally unlike Quentin and how stupid that nobody seems to realize that something is going on.
I had a similar thought, but then I changed my mind. Apparently it's going to take Petofi a while to bend the I Ching to his will (you've got to feel sorry for the Collinsport prostitutes: they should have been safe with Barnabas staked, but now they've got Petofi feeding them to the I Ching), so he might as well make a few alterations in Quentin's lifestyle so he can be reasonably comfortable for the duration. Quentin was the only person at Collinwood who ever liked any music at all, so I think the others will probably regard the change in his music as just a different twist on his strangeness.
