Eeeee.....
Jul. 25th, 2015 05:10 amWell, I know for a fact I'm crushing on Milton Selzer now. I have that excited tingle at the mere thought of finding something to watch with him in it today.
I'm a little overwhelmed by his credits, though! I'm not quite sure where to start. Perhaps with The High Chapparal, if I can locate the episode. And I was rather elated to discover that I have The Mod Squad episode he's in! It also has David Cassidy, and I remember I liked the episode and hung onto it even though I knew I probably shouldn't because I needed the tape space. But I kept it, and now I have a new reason to want it more! Yessss.
And I just had to giggle when I saw that he once played a character called Mr. Gold. LOL.
A couple of weeks ago, I started digging out some Mission: Impossible episodes to re-watch, including The Field, which Wesley wrote and H.M. is in, along with Milton. (They appeared in several things together.) I idly wondered if Milton had been in any other episodes and what they were. Then the next night, I popped in Richard's episode and ... ohmygosh, there Milton was again! LOL. That was hilarious. I was totally surprised. I even exclaimed to Mom, "That was totally an accident." I'm surprised she isn't getting suspicious by this point. But the truth is, he's really been in so very many things that 99.9% of the time, it really is an accident when we run across him. It's only been lately that I've started trying to deliberately re-watch some of the stuff we have with him. And, as Mission: Impossible proves, sometimes even that's an accident.
Also, I'm testing a Captain Caldwell icon. (Simooon....) The local station was airing his Perry episode this week, so I made plans to watch my uncut DVD copy. Even though he dies in it, I still like to watch the episode because I love the character. (And because he's among the characters I insisted on reviving, once I figured out how....)
After I watched the episode, I got plunnied some more. I wrote a oneshot of Jerry Reynolds visiting Caldwell's grave and thinking on their decimated friendship and wondering if they were both responsible for that, instead of it just being Caldwell. (I have always believed that they were both responsible, especially since the episode is so vague on Caldwell's side of it.) He also ponders on what the other cast members thought of Caldwell's death. I plan to post it on Amnesty Day at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
31_days.
Then I had a second plunnie to maybe follow up on the story I did where I revived him, and show how he's integrating back into normal life and maybe depicting a bit of the hearing where he has to prove he's really him (if that actually happens, as suggested in the first fic). I'm not sure if that will be a oneshot or if it might blossom into a multi-chapter mystery.
Long ago I vowed not to start writing any Perry Mason mysteries until I finished the current one. But I'm so overwhelmed by the current one and I've made such a mess of it that sometimes it is very tempting to start another one anyway. I did think maybe I finally was starting to iron out some of the twists, though, so maybe I need to just get enough drive to stick with it and I'll be able to actually finish the thing once and for all. What a glorious thing that would be!
