Golly, what beautiful gravity John Karlen pulls together as he says, "Fortunately, you're not a man who keeps his promises." This is this first time I've watched this storyline after having watched the pre-Barnabas episodes, and I'm thinking about how Willie has changed. There's an interview on one of the DVDs in which Karlen is talking about how everything changed for Willie once Barnabas bit him, and Karlen says that it turned out that what Willie had was compassion. And I see it now - but I looked for it before the biting, and saw a total lack of it. So where did it come from?
