BtVS: Out of Mind, Out of Sight / Clea DuVall

Well she may have been invisible for most of the episode but Clea Duvall made an impact. A memorable face, and a wonderfully sad display of loneliness...

...but really it probably wasn't enough to get her a post of her own - nor was her memorable turn in the early episodes of promising but ultimately rubbish series Heroes... nope - she gets a spot of her own because of her spellbinding performance as the fortune teller Sofie in the very, very wonderful Carnivale.

I think I mostly didn't really get what the hell was going on most of the time - I do need to watch it again - but it left me breathless too many times to consider it as anything but a masterpiece.
