But the PT Trask was essencial to the storyline! He was heavily involved (at least for a while) in the murder mystery subplot! [smrty]

What I couldn't figure out is why they made his character in PT1970 another Trask.  Why not make him Tony?  If Julia Hoffman can be turned from a medical doctor in normal time into a maid in parallel time, why not turn a lawyer into a butler?

It's all in the name: Trask. His name alone sealed his (predictable) fate. The poor guy was typecast within the series itself.

Why Trask, not Peterson?   Because PT was supposed to be filled with fascinating parallels and opposites.  Seeing a Trask pop up in a parallel present day is like chocolate cake.    Look!   It's Trask!!!   And he's subserviant!   Seeing a Trask pop up in a storyline, those are among the best DS moments.

After the cool novelty wore off, though, there was nothing more to the character.   I imagine JL fuming off camera about how he was wasted in this storyline.

A friend of mine is watching the parallel time storyline for the first time now.  She's thrilled with Trask--because he's the only one in the show's history with sense enough to lock the doors.  [easter_grin]

I will have to take note this third time around the bend.   This is only my third time watching it through. I can't seem to get into the WP because I am so enthralled with 1795 now....Alas....
