Cameron: John Bell- being a book reader, I knew what happened while he was away, before he opened up a bit to Roger and in more detail. With that context, his portrayal of Ian’s homecoming was really perfect, displaying how complex those emotions and that adjustment would have been. I’d have to go back to the books, but I feel like that piece of his homecoming was highlighted here, even more so than I remembered it in print.
Dawn: Richard Rankin/Roger – Without words, he portrayed so well being lost in his own hopeless, helpless hell.
Mitzie: Richard had few speaking roles this time but had to deliver numerous lines using pure emotion and I felt he did beautifully with his eyes, hands and general presence.
Susan: Rickard Rankin was great, showing Roger’s pain and frustration without words.

One thing I agree with is that the constant replaying of Roger’s hanging was just unnecessary and bothersome after about 2 replays. I love this show but they overdid the black jack randall brutality constantly….and btw…if he were scheduled as a guest at the event in NC…I would not attend. I know, its only a tv show but I am willing to bet he has a darker side than most people I want to know!! IMO
You’re right about the Tarot card and the meaning behind it and how it related to Rogers transformation. I didn’t like how Roger got his voice completely back. Like Jamie’s hand . Lauren’s Marsil so far has been the highlight/light moment in most of the episodes. But mostly I hated the Ians return and his imo, Halloweenish outfit. His tattoos look like I took a brown permanent marker and made dots. !!! I love John Bell but he need to look like book Ian and his suicide was all wrong imo.
