Episode 803: What Fresh Hell

David Henesy’s performance.

In which I am puzzled by Quentin’s inability to see a solution to Collinwood’s chronic understaffing.

A previously unseen facial expression from Grayson Hall.

In which I refuse to be puzzled by an allegedly confusing circumstance in the episode.

In which I note that Magda, having inherited Julia’s habit of addressing herself to “Barnabas Barnabas,” has started speaking to “Quentin Quentin.”

In which I point out that the Charles/ Amanda relationship starts as an inversion of the Vicki/ Jeff relationship.

Why I don’t think that either Magda or King Johnny has been in Boston all that long.

In which I am surprised that Grayson Hall seems to be using her own native accent throughout the episode.

Dr Julia Hoffman and her habit of pronouncing people dead, sometimes the same person twice in one day.

I note that Count Petofi does not fully understand the powers of his Hand.
