Love What Lies Buried! It's a clever story full of twists and turns. I particularly enjoyed Schanke's role in this one. I found myself rooting for him to keep his memories.
Also greatly enjoyed Siege of Hastingues by Greer! The historical detail is amazing, and it really gives a very authentic feel to the story. I loved seeing the best of Nick as well, something we don't always get to appreciate.
Definitely a weaker episode but much more enjoyable than Capitol Offense. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I do look for Real Life reasons behind what we see on the air. There are two writers credited for the script and is it the only episode on the 2nd season without Nigel featured at all?
Somehow I have a vision of a mad scramble to get this one made, leading perhaps to some of the weak spots.
I do like Katherine, both young and old. It's nice to see Nick with a mortal friendship that doesn't go completely sideways. I hope they continued the relationship.
I too love this little glimpse of 'vampire life'. Whether it's Aristotle, Felix Twist or even Danny the video editor, it gives the illusion that they really could be out there and we just don't know it.
It's interesting that Nick needs Janette to secure his access to Aristotle, even though Aristotle seems to be in the same space he was 40 years before. And the veiled reference to Nick being accused of being a communist in Spin Doctor is very clever. It almost makes up for the Battle of Hastings slip--almost.
Catherine has to give up her very distinctive vehicle, but Nick gets to hold on to his own? Seems like a bit of a mixed message there.
And I have to agree with you about the psychic angle. Not really sure why that was used. Young secretary Madeline doesn't really seem like the psychic type either, not sure I see her evolving into Madame Natasha.
It was fun to see Nick in an earlier version of the 96th! I suspect that it had more to do with keeping the show budget in check and reusing the same set, but it was still cool to see. Glad to see that the quality of policing has improved at well. Somehow I don't see Cohen reading the racing form at work!
