My heart is still in my throat.
Nina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitchell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nekkid Dead McNair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Policemwoman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Herrick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daisy Dead! Off screen, but with Herrick restored the get out of dead key still exists!
The Herrick on the wall/in the attic goes off and we get shown again how very, very dangerous he and vamps are!
And now the Big Secret is coming out!
Annie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Annie/Mitchell Angst dialed up to Eleven and yet still totally organic, totally fair in the writing and true to both characters.
Pure Show not Tell.
All that Stages of dealing with the truth so well done and so all of them.
The beautifully constructed Greek Tragedy of it.
How unbelievably hot was Mitchell menacing Herrick!
And the chicken measuring contest.
Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My beautiful, beautiful show.

Amazing. Bloody amazing. Especially the chickens. And all the pain. Joss just hasn't even started compared to this ep.

And, as you say, so totally, entirely from character. Every step of the way an appalling inevitability.

I think the announcer was right about the actually stopping breathing there. God it was brilliant.

Joss is a rank arrogant amateur who couldn't dream of writing something this grown up in all the best meaning of the term. And never will unless he spits out his own Kool Aid.

I know I definitely stopped breathing there a number of times, then I looked at the clocks and knew there was still more brilliance to come.

Such a brilliant show.
