Playing a great deal of catch-up...
The anniversary segments brought me to tears. A testament to the power of Soap. Never watched DOOL in my youth, I'm relatively new to the show, but not unlike my emotional reaction the final episode of SFT, it only takes deeply felt and informed onscreen connections to sweepingly update and engage even the most casual viewer. I felt like I had been along for decades.
The new Theo is simultaneously the best and the worst Theo. The best in terms of acting ability, while the worst in terms of affected acting choices. I feel like I am watching an actor at craft, rather than a human being. In more positive ways, he reminds me of a young Al Freeman, Jr.
The new Rachel is excellent, particularly for her age. She out-performs several castmates to her senior.
