MB, I hope you didn't miss the THRILLER episode "The Remarkable Mrs Hawk," with Jo van Fleet in the title role and John Carradine.  Great fun, and perhaps not all that reminiscent of DS, but full of Witchy, sardonic humor.  I can imagine you loving it.

Happy Halloween!

Oh, the depravity.

Wasn't there another outfit called Charlton that did some horror themed comics in the 1960s?  That is what I remember,at any rate. 

Those Dell DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN covers are so cool...

Danny Horn snarks his way through an account of the hoDS publicity campaign.  Mildly amusing.

Happy Birthday John!  Wishing you many happy returns!

It's not much of a spoiler to reveal that Lord John falls madly in love with Jamie.  I did not care for how one part of this long-drawn-out scenario was written in one of the books I read.  After I stopped, she published one where the two had to work together on something or other.  That might have been interesting.

I'm tempted to say I suspect this novelist of sadistic tendencies, but the dynamic that characterizes how she writes this type of story is very popular in such slash sub-genres as "hurt/comfort" and the like.  So, she might be working in that framework.  I have no idea.  It could just be how her mind works because I don't think she is involved much in online culture.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I presume you have all heard of this by now.  I thought it was an interesting crossover moment, given that the basic plot structure in OUTLANDER really seems to echo the whole Vicki/Peter thing on DS (which is the storyline this clip is from--somebody involved in this new series is definitely more than just a casual fan of out show):

I have to confess I have not seen any of OUTLANDER but enjoyed this little article and the clip.

Marsha Mason, remembered for her memorable appearance in one episode of DS in 1970 as "Audrey the Leviathan Girl," appears in this 1966 TV version of the classic Lerner & Loewe musical BRIGADOON.  This was one of the more memorable TV events in my family during the period when DS was on.  The broadcast was repeated in 1968 and I watched both times.  I never understood why they didn't put it on again.
