I'm almost disoriented in contemplation...John,<br /><br />I'm almost disoriented in contemplation as what seemed like it would never arrive is now here.<br /><br />The same issue applies to many cast members as with Frank Silva – we've lost Doc Hayward, Pete Martell, the Log Lady to their passing on and other actors to retirement.<br /><br />One strategy would be to disengage totally from the past and focus tightly on "now" with only necessary reference to 1991. There's no way now to film scenes that show the actors aged only five years, which is awkward. But these concerns seem pedestrian when the show is so much about the high concept. And, heck, I remember when Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford on SNL looking extremely unlike Gerald Ford!<br /><br />I guess one approach would be to cast someone new as a new spirit-demon and say something like, "BOB was small potatoes. This is BOB's boss."<br /><br />I should comment on a matter of interpretation: Some fans (including the Wikipedia page) have said that the Bad Dale came out of the Black Lodge. I disagree. My interpretation is that the Good Dale possessed by BOB came out of the Black Lodge. As corroboration, the Bad Leland said, "I didn't kill anybody." It was never the Bad Leland in the real world: It was Good (Normal) Leland possessed by BOB. But, maybe my read of the logic won't be how the script handles it.<br /><br />I'll have to watch the episode a little later than the original broadcast time… I hope I don't feel left out.Rikdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475851964933197612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2404509015791000032.post-72698119501201866362017-05-21T14:09:46.913-07:002017-05-21T14:09:46.913-07:00Haven't been this excited in a long time. Sinc...Haven't been this excited in a long time. Since the actor who played Bob is no longer with us, how will that be handled is my big question. Guess we will find out in a few hours. I know he can shape shift, like into an owl, but just to recast entirely seems unlikely unless it's really clever. John Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041372144991975782noreply@blogger.com
