VIA NEGATIVA GETS AN A
—This episode builds sympathy for Doggett, and makes him vulnerable via hair-raising personal experience with weird, unexplainable phenomena. There's lots of pressure on him at the beginning, with Scully away and with Kirsh and Skinner breathing down his neck for answers.

From the intro they gave to Miles' character, we can expect him to have a key role. Looks great in the goatee.

At long last, a period adaptation of the Dracula story. I admit I am tired of vampires in tube dresses at nightclubs.

Rhys-Meyers is wasted as an American—his voice is much more melodious
and persuasive in his native tongue. One of the things I require of
any Dracula is that his voice have a mesmerizing quality. In this accent, JRM
loses considerable range. He sounds nasal and forced, which makes him a less-than-convincing Count.

McGrath is not shown in her best light here. She was exquisite as Morgana of the sparkling green eyes and raven hair, and did not look a thing like KK, except for the slight underbite.

Does Diaz think he's playing Quasimodo in a '50's production? (see photo above.)

Methinks the wench doth rely too much on her winsome looks.

OMG, it's too much. Very stilted.

So Catherine has faith in her pet seer Nostradamus' visions and executes people on his word. Her son does not believe in visions so she can't tell him that she's trying to scare off his fiancee Mary because (N says) she'll get him killed. How hard it must be for Catherine to stand there with no excuse, looking like…

My thought exactly. This is definitely teen schlock. No offense to any teens who may be digging it.

Lisa Kudrow for President!!

Lol.

Right. What was it the Yearbook teacher said, something about photos of cute couples, etc. Max has limitations, but is maybe blessed not to see things in that limited way, creatively.

Right. Does this mean more goofy disguises for Mozzie? More top-secret capers for Mozzie and Neal, sans the Suits?

Washington is solid. She is limited by script and Rhimes' staccato style of delivery, in my opinion. She will need speech therapy once the show ends. to prepare for humanoid roles.

Not every show has to be The Good Wife, where we've had a long time to dissect the complexities of being a cheating politician's wife. This episode seemed trite in comparison, but still good with beer.

There are a lot of inconsistencies in the writing. For instance, don't you find it strange that Jake walks into Liv's apartment and just starts blabbing about his findings? Of course her place is bugged. Substitute Big Daddy for Big Brother.

Okay, help me here. Isn't Mr. Chuckles a lop-eared bunny? Or a teddybear? What does the nickname have to do with the mole?

Liked the dance!

Didn't you just know the phone would ring? Come on, writers. Surprise me.
