Season 5 Walton's writing...

Warning: Spoilers
It's getting weird. We had an episode about fighting over a church organ, Olivia getting a 'fro and now a conflict about sleepwalking/witnessing a death of a carny. It's as if they ran out of standard stories and just started running out of juice in the writer's room.

If a man was killed at a carnival at 8 am, nobody questions the solo 9 year old girl up in the Ferris wheel? And the sheriff was right there? It's a cockamamie story.

And-can sleepwalkers climb down a trellis? Then walk 3 miles to a carnival then climb that to just sit there, and have conversations while they do?

Still, enjoying the shows.

One of my least favorite episodes.

Elizabeth's nightmares seemed overly dramatized. Kami Cotler does play this role really well but it seemed to been overly done.

Memorable episode

This is one of the few episodes I specifically remember from childhood. I was approximately the same age as Elizabeth when the show was on the air, and this episode made enough of an impression that it is one of the few I still remember, though I haven't seen it since. Now that I know the season it is in, hopefully I can find it somewhere streaming. Look forward to seeing it again.
