Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts!

From the rather yawn-inducing 1978 CBS telefilm Dr. Strange, starring Peter Wooten as psychiatrist Stephen Stange, and Clyde Kusatsu as Wong.

CBS Ghosts Pilot - Ghosts Meet Sam & Jay Part 2

And now to the ghosts focus of the scene.

What’s interesting in the two gifs above is that you can see Flower, Pete and Trevor (IE the youngest ghosts), are all super happy and excited to see the new comers. It’s quite different to the older ghosts - Thor, Sass, Isaac, and Hetty - who probably know what it’s like not to have the run of the place and how difficult it can be for their afterlives, hence not being terribly happy.

Despite boredom, the older ghosts seem more content in having no livings around rather than looking for life to entertain them.

Also, HOW did I not notice that Alberta isn’t in this scene? Where did she go?? WHY isn't she curious about these new comers??? Was she helping Crash? It is only a few minute scene, so maybe.

Six generations from Sam would be her Four Greats Grandmother, yes? Hetty is Three greats, so that means Hetty's parents built the house, interesting. Probably sometime in the 1800s.

I love how excited Flower is for Hetty, which is hilarious due to Hetty’s response.

It's interesting the looks on the ghosts faces for this - Sass knows that it's been difficult for Hetty to watch her family over the years. Sp he looks at her to see how she'll react.

Meanwhile, Pete looks very excited for her, too. I wonder if this is because he wishes that he could know about his daughter and family and watch over them. (I assume this based on several later episodes, he clearly wishes that he died somewhere that they would visit).

There’s two things are interesting here - first, that Hetty is immediately against Sam due to a ‘saucy’ hairdo, which seems odd considering that she didn’t want the house to go to random people. On the other hand, perhaps she feels this way because it’s difficult to watch your offspring make mistakes (well, what you consider mistakes) and not be able to help in any way. This comes up later in Family Business. So, I may be onto something.

Second, she’s holding onto Trevor here. It’s interesting to me - not just as a shipper - because throughout the serious we see her hold onto three of the men ghosts - Isaac (which makes sense as her oldest friend), Sass (once in Ghost Writer), and Trevor (here, in Possession, in Thorapy, In Trevor’s Pants - not sure about others). The ones BEFORE finding out he's a "good guy" are the most interesting. Because she must've had some inkling that he's not that bad or there must've been something about him that made her feel comfortable here.

That OR since he's really into touch - like his love language is obviously touch and he can touch things, maybe she saw that and figured - easy person to hang onto.

Now it’s also interesting because I wonder if she connected with Trevor over losing Sophie - as he’s the only saddened one in that scene as I mentioned before) and if they had a better relationship before pilot. Because (and I’ll get into this later), it’s clear that there is a change in their relationship from the pilot in the next few episodes, so I wonder what lead to the closeness before (or if I’m imagining it) - could it be knowing Sophie & David or was it something else? Could this be her way of connecting to someone who's also connected to her family?

Isaac and Sass are quick to focus on whether or not there’s room for them. Something that is stark contrast to the younger ghosts that are just excited for life. They clearly are on a wavelength where they ONLY care about the effect of the living on their afterlives. I have to wonder if this is an effect of being a ghost for SO long that you stop caring about life and entertainment. You just get to a point where you're okay just hanging out with your fellow ghosts.

The gif of Trevor and Hetty is a weird gif because I’m wondering why he moved like that? It’s actually what drew my attention to her holding onto him. Also, what's with Pete's look at him?

What’s really interesting here is that Isaac obviously didn’t have much of an attachment to Sophie - just old lady bedridden, which was great for the ghosts. I totally understand why the ghosts feel this way, but at the same time - ouch to Hetty, whose own BFF doesn’t seem to care that she’s kind of grieving right now? Plus, they didn't grow attached to Sophie at all? I mean, they watched her for her whole life - given the thing we learn with Thor's closeness to Baby Hetty, I have to wonder if they PURPOSELY keep their distance after a while because they get hurt when the person grows up and dies.

I made myself sad. Anyway...

Okay, this is hilarious. They are literally ALL voyeurs. Pete sets up the whole “watching them” thing, and we know what Trevor’s thinking, but like - okay, they ALL do it, and Pete and Hetty are both acting like they don’t. The look Hetty Hetty gives him is SO great.

(This is especially funny because Hetty’s probably offended that he wants to watch HER relative, and then in Trevor’s Body, despite the fact that she’s sleeping with him, watches his parents have sex).

Although TBF to Pete, he was ASTOUNDED the other ghosts watched Trevor's parents, so maybe he doesn't. And I suppose Hetty needed her awakening first... BUT the others give Trev trouble about it, too.

Honestly, it’s so interesting to me that they give him such BS for it when they all do it - an example of baby ghost syndrome. They tease him because he’s the “youngest”. Poor guy. I'm hoping after TB, he put a stop to that.

It's interesting that Sam brought a sage with her before even seeing the house. She's like "It's old, therefore, I should be prepared".

I love that Trevor immediately looks at the older ghosts (Hetty in particular), because my boy is like “oh no - what’s going on?” You can really tell that he is still pretty new to the whole being a ghost thing. He's obviously expecting the others to know more. And hoping they'll know what to do.

Also, it's fun that Jay's obviously not a believer while Sam IS.

I love the gif of the three as Trevor does his weird movement, too. They’re like curious and yet, cautious. Plus I love that these three all have different looks on their faces.

Hetty's making a frowning face. Pete's curious. Trevor's like cautiously curious. It's Awesome.

I will say this a lot, but this cast is AWESOME with background faces. They are SO DAMN Good. So much happens in the background and I love it.

I love that Sam is already a believer. This scene establishes just why she’s so willing to assume that ghosts are real and it’s not just a figment of her imagination. It’s also interesting that Jay is a non-believer but by the finale of Season 1 he’s like “curses are real” without any proof.

OMG, I love this reaction. They’re all like “Ah, oh no.”

Trevor literally jumps back as he turns to Hetty/Isaac, Isaac mimics Trevor jumping back while Hetty either attempts to reach out to Isaac or protect Flower and Sass? I’m leaning towards the first option. And the others are just kind of like “maybe gasp, whatever.”

But Still, I totally love that they all react uncertainly. It's a sign that without knowing about the ghosts, Sam's already impacting their lives.

Okay I have to love that A) Pete’s down to smell it despite the fact that it was to “ward off evil spirits” and B) that as soon as he discovers that it doesn’t do anything bad, they all chase after them.

Sam should totally invest in more Sages to keep the ghosts out of her hair.

Two things before I end - 1 I LOVE that you can tell they clearly refilmed these scene just because how Trevor was before Thor and then after Thor in one gif.

2. I love that this sage smells like something different to everyone. It’s very interesting because it’s basically what attracts them. Also, love that they bring the Sage back up in Ghost Trap - Sam should totally buy a bunch to make the ghost leave her alone.

Anyway - end of scene. Feel free to hit me up if you want to discuss it.

CBS Ghosts - Pilot - Ghosts on the Accident

OOOOH the reaction to Sam’s accident.

Please note, some of my commentary mentions things for throughout both seasons of the show so far.

Gifs and discussion below.

Okay - when did the ghosts gather? When Jay went running out of the room? When the ambulance showed up? When? Also, is Alberta missing in this scene? Is Sass? How ARE THEY NOT THERE? Like this is a BIG EVENT - ALL of the ghosts should be there.

ANYWHO.

It’s AMAZING how attached Hetty became in just a short while to Sam. She went from “ew I hope we’re not related” to “Eh, she’s nice” to “How dare you murder my kin - I love her” real fast.

I can’t believe she accuses Trevor of murder though - Trevor is NOT the murdering kind, Hetty. Literally, Alberta has buried bodies, Flower has chased down runners, Thor’s an actual murderer, and big spoilers here: your son (should be grandson) murdered one of your own and you’re accusing him without letting him explain???? RUDE.

Side note, Pete raised his hands to stop her and potentially step in.

I LOVE that Trevor defends himself. He looks SO YOUNG and AFRAID, but like he does with the ‘embarrassment’ conversation - he stands up for himself. He just wanted to beat the vase - he wasn’t thinking about Sam or anyone else getting hurt. He just wanted to win - and he would never hurt anyone.

This moment right here is when it became clear that Trevor was far too innocent (might not be the right word) and kind to really be the image he projects.

Poor kid.

Also, one thing to note - I think he’s afraid that he might’ve caused Sam to die young because he absolutely reliving his own death. As the most recently dead, there’s no way that he’s not flashing back to his death.

OMG that makes Hetty accusing him of murder & the situation where everyone’s looking at him like he’s guilty SO MUCH WORSE.

For some reason, I don’t have a gif of Pete saying that he’s right and defending him, but I know he did it and I’m SO GLAD that Trevor has back up because no one else was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and that just bites.

Trevor deserves better.

Okay - when did Jay change? Did he leave Sam to change?

Also, Thor - Husband guy = sad, of course he is! Sam’s nearly dead and might not make it! Why wouldn’t he be sad.

OOOOh - Isaac makes a good point - they fought over this dumbass rundown house and he would feel SO GUILTY if she didn’t make it. Like fighting over the house and then she dies - ouch. Anyway, I can’t imagine how terrified Jay is right now.

Side note - what did the ghosts in the shed/basement think about these events?

Poor Jay.

I love this tidbit about Flower. We learn right away that she cares deeply for Ira and that he was WITH her when she ‘wandered over to the property’.

Also, it’s so weird how connected she is to Ira only for her to later say ‘she’s got commitment issues, man’.

Side note, she tries to cover up Ira’s feelings for her with “also, bear.” So...

So, we learn something about Pete, too.

A) Married to Carol

B) Fought with her the day he died.

Pete looks so chill talking about the fight with Carol and just sitting there like... life lesson quietly.

OMG this Speech about how you never know when the last moment is going to be and how important it is. And it’s SO GOOD seeing Sam&Jay - particularly Jay as Jay goes through hell watching her go through all these things and just HOPING that she makes it through.

Side note - obviously, it’s the show so they wouldn’t hire Jay’s parents/sister for this one scene, but with knowing that ALL Bela did was send some flowers, I have to wonder if he went through this alone? Because they could’ve just mentioned his family supporting him in through this.

In fact, based off the off-hand remarks about the money, I assume that his parents were less than supportive - I really, really want more on that.

Poor Jay, though.

ANYWAY, that’ll come later.

OOOOOKAYYYYYY. So, Pete ruins a fantastic speech by remembering what the fight was about - which that’s one of the dumbest fights to have and not resolve.

This tells us ALOT about Carol/Pete - they fought about something small, didn’t bother to make up and then he died. He says he thinks that she did it to spite him because ‘she didn’t even like donut holes’, and we know she was cheating, but you have to wonder - how did they get there? How did a 16 year marriage get to that kind of place?

Also, knowing what we know about Pete ‘taking it’, I wonder if they both had like a score card? I wonder when things fell apart? I wonder if Carol was as hurt that Pete died after such a pointless fight? I really want to know.

OOOOOOH, Side note - is this the only time Hetty uses a shortened name?

LOL - Pete’s just like “Okay, calm down - anyway, life is precious” like he didn’t just spaz about donut hole fights.

LMAO - what an ending - Thor is like “Donut holes?” and Pete is just like “It’s - well, nothing...”

Still, this scene gave us good info on Trevor, Pete, and Flower - the youngest ghosts whose deaths are the closest all have stronger reactions to what happened.

Pete & Flower talking about their deaths in some detail.

Trevor looks white as a sheet, very freaked out in the beginning about possibly causing Sam’s death. He absolutely doesn’t want someone to be dead because of him. Poor Trev has been through it.

Thanks for reading :). Feel free to chat about it.

There is something special about pilot episodes.

And why didn't SWAT reward us more with of those hair salon moments? That was golden.

I started making this image to demonstrate the similarities in the design elements on the E5 compared to the features on the original shovelnose, but it kind of just looks like a dreamy animash frame and I'm in love with it.

At this point I don't think I've made much of a secret about how taken I am with the CQ&B's Zephyr trains. Reading about the Pioneer Zephyr's story and work history has been a fascinating deep dive over the past few months, and there's a few things that @djangodurango and I have planned regarding that on the way.

For the time being, because I can't resist Making A Guy, here's a humanized Pioneer for everyone to enjoy, along with some friends! :^)

(The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago decorates the Pioneer Zephyr with a wreath every year and I think it's the cutest thing. This year, it had a mini version of the engine on it.)

Still from the Justice League of America television film that aired on CBS on December 29, 1997.

That's the Atom, Fire, the Flash, the Guy Gardner Green Lantern (whose costume is blue for some reason), and Ice. Not shown is the team's leader, the Martian Manhunter.

I never saw this turkey, mainly because of overwhelmingly bad word of mouth before its broadcast. No less than legendary comic scribe (and one of my favorites) Mark Waid described it as "80 minutes of my life I'll never get back."

Other than the not-so-great costumes (the Atom's is particularly bad), the special effects are said to be very shoddy. The storyline is reportedly weak and full of plot holes, and the filmmakers apparently tried to match the humorous tone of the DeMatteis-Giffen era of the JLA comic book, but failed miserably.

The telefilm was intended to be the pilot for a full-blown series. That obviously never happened, for which we should all be grateful.

Some other tidbits:

David Ogden Stiers, of M.A.S.H fame, played the Martian Manhunter. In addition to not having a heroic physique (he was 55 years old at the time), his make-up job and costume was so bad that he only appeared on camera in deep shadow.

Fire/B.B. DaCosta was played by Michelle Hurd. She's probably more familiar as Rafaella "Rafa" Musiker from Star Trek: Picard.

Miguel Ferrer played the villain, The Weatherman. Why the filmmakers didn't just make him the Flash rogue the Weather Wizard is unknown, unless they were too cheap to license the character from DC Comics.

The film is available on DailyMotion if you're interested in watching it. I got about 15 seconds in and turned it off because I couldn't take anymore.
