Grade 'Silent Night'

Fair enough on the Danny aspect, and I agree that some of the lines were clunkers. While I think a better actress could have done something with "leave me alone!" it was a bad line, and someone with Anna's extremely limited talents probably didn't have a prayer of turning that one around.

I didn't think about the camera angles, and while they did probably contribute to some of the awkwardness, ultimately bad acting is bad acting. I think Lindsay and Stella being awkward together could have been played very well, because up until this point they weren't really close, and didn't know each other all that well. They did have to work around Anna's pregnancy, and I do believe that it was a mistake to rush the storyline to do so, but ultimately bad acting is bad acting, and as bad as Anna is elsewhere, I think this episode may have been her worst performance (to date).
