Hi, I'm one of the ones who said "I'm in!" but have found it somewhat difficult to chime in - in many cases the thoughts I've had have been more eloquently articulated by other posters who have a flair for writing.
I really loved this episode, and watching Joanna Going perform is truly like watching 2 different people. She really did a spectacular job!
I seem to be the only one who is not impressed with Barbara Blackburn. Someone pointed out how when she screamed (as Millicent), it was exactly the same as when she screamed at old Barnabas in the present. I noticed that, too. She just didn't do it for me as either Carolyn or Millicent. However, the scene where Barnabas attacks Millicent IS one of my favorites of the entire series. The music is so well done, here, and also in the scene when Barnabas retreats to the Old House cellar. I found it incredibly moving, and I thought Ben Cross was amazing.
I also seem to be one of the few who enjoyed Jim Fyfe as Willie/Ben. I think a lot of my appreciation has to do with just how different the actor is from his characters. I met him at a Fest and couldn't believe the total 180, as previously noted by MB with that clip that was posted earlier.
I'll try and do better with the posting. I really have enjoyed reading everyone else's posts. Thanks to all.
