David Selby's guest appearance on Cold Case has now made it into the TNT rerun rotation. "Boy Crazy" will air at 12:00 am ET on Wednesday, May 20 (midnight on the night of Tuesday, May 19). Screen grabs from the episode are posted on the official David Selby site.

I think the clip is about ten years old.
In the fall of 1999, SCI FI ran promos for In and Out of the Shadows with David that appear to be from the same session, so it's at least that old.

Any info on the grandchild: name, gender?
A girl named Cornelia who turns 4 later this year.

From your summary and reading a synopsis, it sounds like just the sort of thing the scriptwriters would -- and did -- lift from on a regular basis. (Another book gets added to my already teetering to be read pile.)
I wouldn't put it too near the top of that pile. I read the book in high school, and that's probably the only time I've ever made reference to it. If you've read one book by Dreiser, you've probably exceeded your quota.  [ghost_wink]

I prefer to look at that whole incident much like the murder committed by the protagonist in Dreiser's An American Tragedy. He plans it out rather carefully, but, when the deed is done, the narration is unclear as to the character's intent at the actual moment. There's certainly enough evidence in the preceding episodes to point to a willful act on Q's part, but the way the actual scene is played makes you wonder, and I think that's part of the genius of 1897. I don't think we're ever meant to know for sure because Q himself doesn't know for sure.

I'll just quote one of MB's posts:  (yes, he's intentionally yelling)
And flames are shooting out of his eyes and smoke is coming out of his ears -- or something along those lines.  [easter_grin]

For those of you who are interested in media depictions of television fans, conventions, etc., there's an upcoming CSI episode involving the murder of an actor at a fan convention. They don't say it's a Trek convention, but it's pretty clear that's what they're basing it on. It airs on April 16 at 9 pm ET/PT on CBS. There's more info, including a link to a clip, on the SCI FI Channel site:

Sam Hall said "the mummy" was a joke and they knew they were running dry on ideas when someone would joke about a "mummy" storyline.
Yes, it's easy to see how such a storyline could unravel in short order.  [easter_tongue]

And then there's the serendipity that caused Selby to be in this, instead of another actor.  He was telling this story at the booksigning I attended last fall, and still seemed stunned, ten years later, over the fact that, when he originally couldn't do the role (his mother had just died), they changed the schedule around so that he COULD play it. Talk about something that was meant to be.

This comes up in the recent Sunday Forum appearance at Washington National Cathedral, which can be viewed in its entirety online (link in upper right). If you want a copy of this on DVD, the Cathedral sells them here.

One of the LA Times blogs includes several old DS-related articles that were posted yesterday. Some have been retyped. Some are scanned images.

I am actually very surprised that there are any DVD players being produced today that would allow the code to be changed via hacking.
Hacking is never about what is allowed.[easter_grin]
