I truly believe this show was not given the oppurtunity it deserved to come back from a short third season. I think if it had been given a chance it would bring viewers back to see the romance between Diane and Vincent. The way I look at it Catherine's love gave Vincent the ability to love without fear of his physical appearance. I certainly was turned off by the prospect of Vincent loving another at the time. However, I am older now and realize that loosing someone through death does not mean you stop loving them. It just means that now you can transform that love. "Though lovers be lost love shall not and death shall have no dominion". By not allowing yourself to love again you would give in to death. This is one of my favourite fairy tale stories ever shown on television. It had class without all the sexually explicit television that we see today. I prefer when certain things are left to the imagination.

This episode to me is one of my favorites. It brought a lot of memories of love and loss. Ron Perlman's performance in this episode was stellar. He gives his heart and soul like no actor I have ever seen. When he meditates Catherine's eulogy I melted. The pain of his loss is almost real. I thought when they brought back some of the characters from previous episodes of people Catherine touched was magnificent. Due to Linda's departure of the series I thought they remained true to the character of Catherine. Although this was the beginning of the end of a great television series you get to see the other side of some of the characters in this instalment of the series.
