Interesting.

After researching treason in America, and the outcomes of the only cases around the time period I want to know about, I'm wondering if, all things considered, General Wilkerson would not have to die. Maybe, since he willingly confessed to his crimes and turned himself in, and before anyone was killed, too, he would only be given the five years in prison that can be imposed instead of death?

At any rate, it's looking more possible than I thought it would be the other day. Which makes me happy, as I watched the episode one more time before letting the disc go, and this time I really did cry. It's such a powerful episode, especially the scene where he gives himself up.

There was another episode on the disc that involved a traitor, a thinly-disguised Benedict Arnold under the name of General Scott, and it couldn't hold a candle to the Simon Oakland one. And no, I really don't think I'm biased because of the actor. The Bitter Mission episode had such a much more gripping plot, especially with the traitor having been Daniel Boone's friend.

I swear I am determined to find some way to get you to like Simon Oakland even a little bit more. ;) He seems like a really nice person, from the little I know about him in real life.

And I read a really awesome Kolchak graphic novel called The Kolchak Tales Annual. When my review of it goes up on Amazon, I'll link you to it if you'd like!

Ahhh, I see. That's understandable; it's nice to write things that you know there will be an interest in. I'm impressed you were able to pull that off with your real feelings on Illya and the friendship.

Oh, and by the way, are you sure it was the Yesterday/Tomorrow episode of Hawaii Five-O that didn't have a proper ending? I watched it today and it looked fine to me. The last scene was Steve recovering in the hospital after the assassin was killed, and Danny was there talking to him about it. It was a lovely scene and I squeed.

Maybe in Simon's case, just that one bad taste from seeing Mel Barnes has lingered on, as you indicated before. Barnes certainly is freaky.

Oh, that's interesting! I'll have to poke through that fic. Sometime I'll probably get around to watching the show. I'm curious about the fourth season too, since they tried to go back to a serious format for it.

Robert Vaughn definitely sounds like a nice person!

It sounds like they must. Ugh, how terrible! That really is appalling, to leave that scene out.
