A few hours later in the plot, he is clean shaven. His activities are all accounted for over this time period, and taking time out to shave was not one of them.

Featured review
But at the end...so what?
That's really what I was left thinking. Yes, it's chilling. Yes, it's scary. But Linoge is your typical King boogeyman: omnipotent, all-powerful, but two-dimensional personality-wise. There's so many red herrings here you're left wondering what the heck it's all about. What does Linoge = Legion have to do with anything? Why doesn't Linoge just take a kid from an orphanage? What does Roanoke and "Croatan" have to do with the price of coffee in Venezuela? Colm Feore is very impressive, but until the third part he's not given anything to do other than look scary, toss off the occasional one-liner, and bare his fangs (the latter gets _real_ irritating after the 100th pointless repeat). Tim Daly is okay. Debrah Farentino isn't given anything to do. The rest of the cast does well enough (despite some highly variable Maine accents), but short of seeing how many scary ways you can kill people on network TV, at the end of the day there really doesn't seem to be much here.
