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.

Ooh, that's awesome that Wilkerson might get the five years instead!

**hugs** Don't feel bad about crying--I've cried a lot while watching things. I was crying when I saw the Impostor Trudy ep of Monk--I didn't want her to die, either (and I had to hide that I was crying, because Dad was watching it with me). Oh, and don't even get me started on the first time I saw the YGO finale... I held it together until Téa started crying about how they had only just gotten to know Atem, and then I lost it. No one in my family knows that I was crying over an anime, so that's top-secret ACME information. XD;

I definitely will be the first to admit that I have actor biases. I go by names a lot, and once I get introduced to an actor I like, I do indeed try to look up all of their roles and then claim that they are the best and no one can hold a candle to them. XD; Darren and Simon are making their way up my favorite actor tiers, I must say...
