My opinion of the Raven was, other than I think Jeffrey Combs would have made a better EAP, it really did get inside what we know of the person, and the mystery part of is was rather well handled. Friend of mine figured it out before the grand unveiling, but not too early. 3 out of 4 cawing birds up.

Definitely will add this to my collection when it comes out.
