Hurrah! We got our first look at parallel time 1841. How we got there was sort of clunky, though: Daphne heard piano music playing in the east wing. Has nobody before heard piano music coming from the east wing? Suddenly I'm wondering what sounds might have been heard from the east wing when parallel time Angelique was alive in the 1960s.
John Beal had a whale of a time delivering the verdict on Quentin. Despite the fact that Charles Dawson (whom I continually want to call Nicholas Blair) delivered a superbly entertaining case, I find it hard to believe that the judges actually fell for it. But then, we haven't heard a word from Judge Mustache and the third judge, whom I call in my mind Judge Scalpworthy, for no really compelling reason. I suppose it's reasonable to suspect that Judah/Gerard made sure that judges were chosen who would be favorable to the prosecution. It would be cheating, but that wouldn't bother Judah Zachery.
Daphne goes to Edith's room, sees Gabriel's empty wheelchair, and roams the house still calling for Edith. That seemed a little odd to me.
I count nine actors in today's episode: Jonathan Frid, David Selby, John Beal, Kate Jackson, James Storm, Christopher Pennock, Terry Crawford, Lara Parker, and Keith Prentice. That's not as many as there were in the very first episode, but it's still quite a lot for Dark Shadows.
