Gothick,

Enjoy!



Not only is TD's hair color back to brown in his 2nd Kojak appearance, but we see him play a tough and brilliant drug kingpin named Mr. B.  In the episode's opening scene, one of his dealers has brought what was thought to be cocaine to Mr. B's penthouse...






Mr. B:  "Inhale, baby."


Mr. B:  "You have not brought me cocaine at all.  You brought me milk sugar.  That  I could get with food stamps."


Malloy:  "...We've been ripped off."
Mr. B:  "We?  No, you.  Now either I get my $200,000 or those 10 lbs. of bouncing powder by this time tomorrow, my friend, or you are dead."

There's a 2nd, wonderful scene.  Screen caps of it are forthcoming, but please look for them in another topic. 

If you keep watching the SFC, immediately following Roger's ep are "Execution" with George Mitchell (the first Matthew Morgan) and "Back There" with John Lasell (parapsychologist Guthrie) playing John Wilkes Booth:

9:30 PM  --  The Twilight Zone "Spur of the Moment"
10:00 PM  --  The Twilight Zone "Execution" (1960)   
10:30 PM  --  The Twilight Zone "Back There" (1961)

Re: "Spur of the Moment"... [spoiler]I think RD starts out well enough (we know he can shout), but unfortunately he bungles the portrayal of his older, abusive character, who merely comes across as abrasive.  His acting remaining unchanged as his characters change-- gee, whotta surprise.  [/spoiler]

Apparently, several DS fans turn 50 this year. 

You're welcome!

Is that what that little box is at the top with a caption from each year?  I had been wondering about that!

Yes.  MB explains the history box here:

Today In DS History

Why will it be a challenge to find them later?

Currently, the system arranges topics in the listings by date of the last post in the topic.  So to locate a particular Robservation, if you don't know its title or the date of the last post in the thread, your choices are to search for it by episode number, to search for words or phrases in the post, or by clicking around the pages.  But fortunately, MB provides new links daily. 

Vicki:  Oh no, not the time warp again!
