I'll give my usual exhaustive recap this weekend, but I need to vent for a moment. I've tried to keep an open mind with the Laurelton story. I've tried to either comprehend the story's logic or provide some of my own so that there's some sense to what's going on.
What's got me throwing up my hands in exasperation is that Kevin killed Earl in a room with multiple people, all of whom were in close proximity to the murderer and his victim and none of whom were unconscious, hypnotized, or whatever, just unable to see when the lights went out.
And yet none of these bozos will consider the logical solution that Kevin did it. They were willing to believe Terry did it while strung out, but then during the week of May 12, 1986, Tim O'Connor tells Kathleen that it must have been the work of a stranger who came in and quickly left. I could go along with this if the Laurelton folks had doubt, but they just don't. They cannot see what is right in front of them.
The lead-up to Terry accidentally gassing herself was Robyn Bernard at her absolute limits as an actress. Kevin managing to convince Terry that her memory of him committing murder was just a hallucination is Kevin Bernhardt at his absolute limit. He's not outright terrible, but just doesn't have the necessary spark for someone who needs to convince you not to believe your own eyes.
