The opening voice over is extremely long winded. I miss the three or four line cryptic voice overs of the past. Tho hearing Lacy do it is kinda fun.
The entire Desmond/Judah/Leticia opening and first act bores me to death. Is the purpose to establish that Leticia is psychically sensitive? That Desmond is becoming possessed?
The Roxanne/Barn/Trask second act was entertaining. I agree with AD in that Trask's ghoulish raccoon eyes seem odd but I jumped in two episodes ago so I don't know if that's something new or if it is as has been since the beginning of the story line. I like the Trask vs Barn angle throughout the series. This one is particularly engrossing because it harkens back to 1795 and the first Trask. It's awesome that it is coming back to haunt Barn at this late date in the series.
Lacy's 1840 Trask is a little over the top but in a very enjoyable way. Opposite Wandrey's Roxanne it's practically Shakespearean.
I also like the Trask/Leticia scene. I always enjoy the suspense of a character getting close to the truth of things. And this episode has that in spades. Of course Barn arrives in the nick of time as Leticia gets close to the truth for Trask but as Trask states, that may not be the case. Their showdown at the Old House is very satisfying.
I didn't remember Otis Greene as a character, never mind the fact that he was played by Abe Vigoda. I guess Desmond as Judah is getting closer to reuniting his body with his head. Karlen is giving it his all but his performance is not moving me, in fact I find it somewhat annoying not to mention distracting.
It doesn't make sense to me that Otis would reveal anything to help JZ. I'd be like, "I'm dying, f**k you, ass hole!"
