S15E1: The Dark Rider

S15E1, The Dark Rider: I really like the opening scene, full of booming thunder, an old castle at night, and a mysterious headless horseman! It's like Halloween in the Summer (watching this in late June)! Spooky, but not seriously sinister. The first episode of season 15 has John (still jolly), Sarah (still academic), Sykes (still cute), Ben (still skeptical) and Kate (still morbid). The guest cast is a family of snooty, unlikable, rich jerks, with a couple of exceptions. Particularly annoying are Diana and Sasha (do women really strut like that? How ridiculous). Gorgeous scenery, pretty interiors, ancient family fueds, horses, and a pair of identical twins--tra la! Sarah and her historical society are involved as well. The plot gallops along at a steady pace, keeps me wondering. The conclusion might be a tad too unlikely for some, too obvious for others, but for me, good enough.
