The ep opens with Chris' portrait magically returned to the easel, cuz it was on the floor the last time we saw it. Blooper-- Tate's front door slipped open as Quentin arrived, and he closed it since he wasn't supposed to rush inside til after the title sequence. As the werewolf fled the house, a man off camera said something like, "I need your key right now."
What did Julia whisper in Q's ear? He answered that he'll do it, but I have no clue what any of that meant. A vicious animal was on the loose, but the characters went on about their business as if it wasn't.
In our discussions to date, we've forgiven the lycanthropes for their sins because they can't help themselves. But this time I'm not sure we can. Chris forced a man in his late 90s (earlier, it was said that CDT was in his late 20s near the turn of the century) to remain with him in a room without any way to summon help-- Chris dismantled the intercom, the house had no phone, and the guard dogs were somewhere on the other side of the locked door. The moon was close to rising, but he kept the key inside his own pocket though he knew about the paralyzing pain that was to come... unless the portrait did its job, even though the painter swore that there was no way it could. Did Chris commit murder?
I liked that bridge set, and I liked the old-time-movie tone to Mr. Best's voice, but suicidal Amanda didn't do it for me.
Same here! I also liked Mr. Best's face. He was no Robert Redford, but sweet and gentle just the same. And I wonder if the writers were drawing from that
TZ, btw, because RR has a line to the old lady that what she thought was the end was the beginning. Amanda to Julia: "The beginning was another ending."
The werewolf seems to really be fond of that particular rock!
This time, you can see that he's climbing up onto a wood platform built on top of the rock.
Hmm….I wonder why the werewolf didn't hurt Amanda?
The wolf suddenly turned around, as if it sensed someone or something behind it, and then retreated, and my take is that it was Mr. Best.
There seems to be a cut after Donna's line “My mirror told me I hadn’t”
The shots jump about at that point on the video too, but the music plays seamlessly. I don't know if that's what you saw, Taeylor.
Mr. Best to Amanda: "I hope you're ready."
Yes, yes, take her away, puhleeze!!!!!!!!!
