During the autumn season, everyone had to be on top of their game. No plate, mug nor drape could be out of place especially since Jungkook, the Duke, was back at the castle for the first time in three years. And with the season harvest just around the corner and family members flocking to the castle from every corner of the land, it had everyone at their wits end, including you. Even though this technically wasn’t your first harvest at Uwhen, it would be your first time meeting the Jeon family who saw no reason to come and visit when Jungkook wasn’t here. But now with him back it suddenly became of the utmost importance that you made a good first impression.

Jungkook could sense your nervousness (he seemed to have a knack for that) and it only served to make him even more moody. It wasn’t news that Jungkook hated his family. Most of them were uptight and had judged him for his choice in picking you to marry instead of your sister who was much more admired amongst the kingdom. Not that he cared, but their nagging was a pain in the ass nonetheless.

To curb some of the tension in the castle, Seokjin suggested that perhaps a hunting party would be a good way to blow off some steam and whatever they caught could be used for the feast, effectively killing two birds with one stone. So that was how you, Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung had ended up on horseback out in the middle of the forest.

��Looking good on that horse Y/N!” Jimins loud comment had you looking away shyly, “Hard to believe Jungkookie got you that out of the kindness of his heart. Don’t you agree, Taehyung?”

“Yeah sir, if I come to your bedroom tonight can I have a new horse too?”

The two of them just laughed, bumping shoulders atop their horses before catching sight of the fumes practically radiating from Jungkook as he leveled them with a glare. “If you don't stop I won't hesitate to kill you.”

His words had them shutting up immediately, looking at each other with wide eyes before muttering out half-assed apologies. The rest of the ride ended up being pretty quiet, the boys too busty scouting the trees for game and trying to find something to kill to hold a conversation. You on the other hand were bored out of your mind and not to mention your ass was hurting from riding longer than you were ever used to.

“Don’t you guys think it's time to turn back?”

“Shh!”

Their efforts to silence you had you rolling your eyes and you just sighed, horse trudging behind them. A pout settled on your lips and you glared at the back of their heads hoping that they would pick up on your fury and finally concede. But of course, that didn’t work and they just continued riding on in silence. This can not get any worse, you thought with a whine. But the sudden sound of your horse whinnying, spooked by something on the path, had you eating your words and the next thing you knew you were lying flat on your ass in the dirt. Thankfully all the commotion had snapped the guys out of their trance and they immediately turned around to come to your aid. Jungkook was the first one off his horse, rushing over to you in concern.

“Y/N! What happened? Are you okay? Let me see!” He fired off questions rapidly, barely giving you a chance to respond. You could only sit, dazed and confused at what just happened. Jungkook groaned at your lack of response, “This was a bad idea, I should've never listened to Seokjin.”

Jimin and Taehyung stood to the right of you two, looking down with worry in their eyes. “Jungkook, maybe we should start heading back. It's getting dark outside anyway and we don’t want to be out here when night falls.” Jimins said, eyes flicking up to look at the darkening sky. “Y/N can ride with you and we’ll get her horse.”

His words instantly had you shooting up from your spot. “No! No, I’m perfectly capable of riding back. It was just a little fall. I’ll be fine” you smiled, trying your best to hide the pain in your backside, but you couldn’t stop yourself from flinching when you felt a twinge shoot up your spine. Jungkook disagreed judging by the look he shot at you at your obvious lie and he opened his mouth to voice his opinion, but before he could even get a word out a distant howl rang through the air. The sound had the band of horses rearing back, letting out loud neighs and noises of freight.

“Whoa there!” Taehyung waved his hands up at the animals, trying his best to calm them, but to no avail, and they took off down the path leaving the four of you behind. He could only stare off at them with a look of disbelief before turning around and throwing his hands up in defeat. “Yup we’re doomed.”

The rest of you just shot him a look of annoyance obviously aware of the fact that all of you were in fact doomed. “Thanks Taehyung, I had no idea.” Jimin said sarcastically to which Taehyung just shrugged in response.

Despite the initial shock of being stranded in the forest, the boys didn’t seem to be too worried about how they were going to find their way back. Combined, the three of them had more than enough experience and the skill it took to navigate out of here. You on the other hand were completely lost and had no idea what the hell they were doing. So instead of getting in their way you decided perhaps it would be best if you found somewhere to clean yourself off.

Getting away from the boys was easy enough, especially when they were too busy arguing over which one of them was correct about which way was north. What was hard though was getting through knee high grass and stepping over gnarled branches as you struggled your way over to the creek you could hear just off the path. When you finally made it over it didn’t take long to start pulling off the dirty weighted fabric of your dress that left you only in your sheer white chemise.

“Another dress bites the dust.” you muttered amused as you bent over the water, scrubbing at your ruined dress. You were so preoccupied with the task you didn’t even notice the sound of boots stomping through the woods over the trickling sound of the rushing water.

“Y/N?” Taehyung's voice had your head snapping over to face the man as he stood just outside the brush. His face was full of shock as he looked at you with wide eyes, “You look..Whoa…”

Immediately you let out a shriek and fell back on your ass, desperately trying to cover yourself. “Taehyung! What the hell are you doing?! Get outta here pervert!” you shouted, throwing pebbles from the shore of the creak in his direction in a futile attempt to try and get him to turn around.

Jungkook and Jimin must have heard you and followed the noise over to you two to see what all the commotion was about. The two of them came crashing from the same spot Taehyung had, swords raised in alarm and surveying the area to try and find the enemy. But when they were only met with the sight of you barely covered on the ground and Taehyung standing there staring like an idiot, they dropped their weapons and just looked back and forth between you two confused. Taehyung could only raise his hands in innocence, “It’s not what it looks like I promise!”

Jungkooks face slowly started to morph from confusion to anger, eyebrows furrowing and his jaw tensing. “That's it, I’m going to kill him!” he shouted charging in Taehyung's direction. Jimin couldn’t act fast enough and rushed after the man, trying to hold him back from actually cutting Taehyung's head off where he stood. You didn’t even have time to think about it before you jumped off the ground to cover him, facing Jungkook with your hands out in an attempt to calm him down.

“Jungkook, stop!” you screamed to which he seemed to ignore, too dead set on killing Taehyung. “It really isn’t what it looks like, just please calm down!” you continued with your efforts of trying to diffuse the situation but your attempts didn’t seem to be working. In a last ditch effort to stop Jungkook's rampage you charged forward, lips sealing over his and hands grasping at his face. Immediately the tension started leaving Jungkook’s body, his shoulders relaxing as he melted into your kiss, his own hands coming up to cradle your cheeks as well.

Noticing that Jungkook seemed to be pacified (at least for the moment), Jimin slowly retracted his arms from around him, backing up and gesturing Taehyung over to him hurriedly. Taehyung took advantage of your distraction and stumbled over to him, hugging the man as if his life depended on it. “Jiminie I almost died, did you see that?!”

Jimins cheeks filled with heat and his face blossomed red at the feeling of Taehyung's arms around him. “Of course I did, idiot. If I hadn’t, you probably would’ve been dead before Y/N got to him.” he mumbled as he pushed the man off him, trying his best to pretend that he didn’t secretly like it (not that he did a good job of it). Taehyung just whined at the thought, shaking his head as he struggled with Jimin to keep him in his hold.

While the two wrestled in the background, you and Jungkook continued your passionate embrace, lips locked and his arms wrapped tightly around your waist. You had completely forgotten why you had kissed him in the first place, too caught up in the feeling of his mouth on yours and how the world seemed to fade away when you were in his hold. The feeling of Jungkook's tongue swiping at your lips is what had you recoiling back into yourself, too embarrassed to go any further. “Jungkook…” you muttered shyly and placed your hands on his chest trying to gently push him away.

He just continued to hold you tighter, lips finding their way to your neck instead and kissing his way down your shoulder. For a second you allowed yourself to get lost in the feeling, a small gasp even leaving your lips. That was until you made eye contact with Jimin and Taehyung who were watching you two with amused smiles and wiggling eyebrows, mocking the two of you by making kissing noises and pursed lips. It made you try and escape Jungkook's grasp even harder. “Jungkook, they’re watching!” You whine, hiding your face in his shoulder in embarrassment.

Jungkook just hummed, “Just ignore them.” he said, continuing to pepper soft kisses along your skin. “I’ll stop once they remember who you belong to.” You could feel the smirk on his lips against your shoulder and you just sighed, eyes begging towards the two boys over Jungkook's shoulders.

Jimin must’ve decided that he’d had enough of yours and Jungkook's show of affection and took pity on you, “She’s a woman not a piece of furniture, Jungkookie! Don’t think she belongs to anyone but herself.” he said with a laugh to which Jungkook just responded with a grunt, shooting the man a scowl over his shoulder.

“Hold on, you aren't jealous, are you?” Taehyung questioned. Jungkook leveled him with a glare upset with the fact that the man had even dared to speak to him. Taehyung took his lack of response as a ‘yes’, “Trust me, sir, I am not after your wife. She’s not even my type!”

“Well what is your type?” Jimin’s question came out of nowhere causing everyone to shoot him a look of confusion. “I mean- see! Problem solved! Now can we head back now?!” He didn’t even wait for a response before turning around and rushing back from where they came. Taehyung hurried behind him, questions flying from his lips at what Jimin had meant to which he received no answer.

“I should lock him in the dungeons for even looking in your direction from now on.” Jungkook seethed, tightening his hold on you. You wheezed out a laugh, struggling to breathe in Jungkook's hold, before pushing on him hard enough that he finally let you go.

“There’s no need for that, love.” The affectionate nickname slipped out of your mouth before you even realized, but Jungkook heard it all the same, a smile instantly stretching across his lips as he reached out to try and ensnare you again. You narrowly avoided his grasp, dodging his hand and letting out a tut, “Ah ah ah! You can hug me all you want when we get back to the castle, but right now I’d like a bath and some clothes that aren’t covered in dirt.”

Jungkook chuckled and reached out again, this time capturing you and causing you to let out a squeak as he pulled you in closer once again. “Fine.” he muttered, bending down to place a gentle peck on your lips before pulling back to shoot you a wink, “But when we get back I’m doing a lot more than just hugging you.”

James Maxwell TV/Film List

More of a guide than a recs list, because old tv/film depends so much on availability. It’s also hard as there’s nothing surviving that’s really like SotT for him (his voice is always slightly different, too & rarely the grand one from SotT) - I found it hard to find where to start back in the day, so I hope this makes it easier. However, I have starred my favourites (rated for JM content only).

I’ve divided things into categories and @jurijurijurious (or anyone) can make up their own mind as to what to go for. (Also @jurijurijurious I have NO idea what old telly you’ve already seen, so forgive me if I’m telling you things you already know.)

Where to find it: Luckily in the UK, it’s not too bad! Network Distributing are the DVD supplier to keep an eye on (they do great online sales), you can find secondhand things cheap on Amazon Marketplace & eBay, and several Freeview channels show old TV & film, especially Talking Pictures. I’ll note if things are on YT or Daily Motion, but they come and go all the time, so it’s always worth searching.

***

Film serials (ITC mainly)

British TV made on film in the US mode with transatlantic cash, so generally pretty light, episodic (continuity is almost unheard of) etc. Some turn up on ITV3 & 4 on a regular basis (colour eps).

*** Dangerman “A Date With Doris” (ITC 1964) James Maxwell is a British spy friend of Drake’s (Patrick MacGoohan) called Peter who gets framed for murder. Drake goes to Fake Cuba to rescue him by which time JM is dying from an infected wound and faints off every available surface, including the roof. It’s great. On YT. (The boxset is v pricey if you just want 2 eps.)

“Fair Exchange” (ITC 1964) JM is a German spy friend of Drake’s called Pieter who helps him out on a case. Not as gloriously hurt/comfort-y as the other, but it does have some excellent undercover dusting. (Why Patrick MacGoohan has JM clones all called variations on Peter dotted around the globeis a mystery.) On YT.

The Saint “The Inescapable Word” (ITC 1965) This is pretty terrible, but entertaining and James Maxwell plays the world’s most hopeless former-cop-turned-security guard. With bonus collapsing. On YT.

“The Art Collectors” (1967). JM is the villain of the week. It does include a v funny bit, though, where the Saint (Roger Moore) goes for JM’s fake hair (and who can blame him? How often I have felt the same!) This one’s in colour so should pop up on ITV3 or 4.

The Champions “The Silent Enemy” (ITC 1968). Surprisingly good JM content as the villain of the week who drugs sailors and steals their clothes before realising that maybe he should have worked out if he could operate a sub before he stole it.

The Protectors “The Bridge” (ITC 1974, 30 mins.) Not worth seeking out on its own, but ITV4 seems fond of it and James Maxwell gets to do some angsting and wears purple, so it’s worth snagging if you can, but too slight otherwise.

*** Thriller “Good Salary, Prospects, Free Coffin” (ITC 1975; 1hr 10mins, I think). James Maxwell moves in with Julian Glover and runs an overcomplicated murdery spy ring where they bicker a lot in between killing girls by advertisement and burying them in the back garden. What could possibly go wrong?? Anyway, it’s solid gold cheese, has bonus Julian Glover and a lot of natty knitwear. What more does an old telly fan want? (tw: Keith Barron being inexplicably the very meanest Thriller boyfriend.) On YT but tends to get taken down fast.

***

Films

Design for Loving (1962; comedy). Can be rented from the BFI online for £3.50. Isn’t that great or that bad (or that funny either), but does have JM as a dim layabout beatnik, which is atypical.

***The Traitors (1962). This is a low-key little 1hr long spy B-movie, but it’s also thoughtful and ambiguous with a nice 60s soundtrack and location work (it’s a bit New Wave-ish) and the central duo of JM and Patrick Allen are sweet and it all winds up with James Maxwell going in the swimming pool. One of the things where JM is actually American. (Talking Pictures show this occasionally & it is out on DVD as an extra on The Wind of Change.) The quality of the surviving film is not great, though.

***Girl on Approval (1962). A Rachel Roberts kitchen sink drama about a couple fostering a difficult teenager. It’s dated, but it’s also really interesting for a 1950s/60s slice of life (and very female-centric) & probably the only time on this list JM played an ordinary person.

***Otley (1969). Comedy that’s generally dated surprisingly well & is good fun, starring Tom Courtenay +cameos from what seems like the whole of British TV. JM is an incompetent red herring & there are more cardies and glasses as well as a random barometer.

Old Vic/Royal Exchange group productions

(Surviving works made by the group that JM was involved in from drama school to his death, made by Michael Elliott or Casper Wrede. I like them a lot mostly, but they are all slow and weird and earnest & not everybody’s cup of tea.)

Brand (BBC 1959). The BBC recording of the 59 Company’s (the name they were then using) landmark production, starring Patrick MacGoohan. This was a big deal in British theatre & launched the careers of everybody involved. It’s very relentless and weird but interesting & I’m glad they decided it was important enough to save. First fake beard alert of this post. It won’t be the last. On YT & there is a DVD, which is sometimes affordable and sometimes £500, depending on the time of day.

***Private Potter (1962). The original TV play is lost and this film has an extraneous storyline, but otherwise has most of the TV cast & gives a pretty good idea of why as a claustrophobic talky TV piece it made such an impact. Tom Courtenay is Private Potter, a soldier who claims to have had a vision of God during a mission & James Maxwell his CO who needs to decide what to do about this strange excuse for disobeying orders. Tw: fake eyebrows (!) and moustaches. Only available on YT.

[???]One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch (1970). Again, no DVD release (no idea why), but it is on YT. I haven’t seen this yet, but it’s another Casper Wrede effort starring Tom Courtenay and apparently JM is especially good in it. (I’m just not good at watching long things on YT and keep hoping for a DVD or TV showing.)

Ransom (1974). A more commercial effort starring Sean Connery & Ian McShane; it gets slated as not being a good action movie, but is clearly meant to be more thinky and political with the edge of a thriller. JM’s part isn’t large but Casper Wrede shoots his friend beautifully, & it’s a pretty decent film with nice cinematography, shot in Norway, as was One Day. I liked it.

[I think this post might be the longest in the world, whoops. Sorry!]

Cardboard TV (the best bit, obv)

One-off plays etc./mini-series

Out of the Unknown “The Dead Planet” Adaptation of an Asimov short story; this is very good for JM, but hard to get hold of unless you want the boxset. I think someone has some of the eps on Daily Motion. (His other OotU ep is sadly burninated.)

The Portrait of a Lady (BBC 1968). Adaptation of the novel; JM is Gilbert Osmond, so it is great for JM in quantity and his performance, but depends how you feel about him being skeevy in truly appalling facial hair. Do the bow ties and hand-holding make up for it? but he’s in 5 whole episodes, and Suzanne Neve, faced with Richard Chamberlain, Edward Fox, and Ed Bishop as suitors, chooses instead to marry the worst possible James Maxwell. Relatable. XD

***Dracula (ITV 1968, part of Mystery & Imagination). JM is Dr Seward, fainty snowflake of vampire hunters, who falls over, sobs and can’t cope for most of the 1 hr 20 mins. More facial hair, but not as offensive as last time. Suzanne Neve is back again, although now JM is nice, she’s married Corin Redgrave, who’s more into Denholm Elliott. Anyway, I love this so much because it turned out that I love Dracula as well as shaky old TV with people I like in getting to fight vampires and all be shippy. Good news - TP keep showing M&I, the DVD is out, and there are two versions of it up on YT.

The Prison (Armchair Cinema 1974). This is the one with Lincoln in it, but it’s not that great & JM isn’t in it that much, so depends how curious you are for the modern AU! (But my Euston films allergy is worse than my ITC allergy, and I watched this when very unwell, so I may have been unfair.)

Crown Court “Fitton vs. Pusey” (1973) - part of the Crown Court series, set in a town full of clones who all keep returning to court. JM is on trial for his behaviour in (the Korean war? I forget?) although he ought to be on trial for his terrible moustache. It’s not that great, but it is nice JM content. He probably did it, but for reasons, and he wibbles & panics whenever his wife leaves the courtroom. Also on YT.

*** Raffles “The Amateur Cracksman” (ITV 1975) - He is Inspector Mckenzie in the Raffles pilot & is a lot of fun. At one point when there was a Raffles fandom someone in it claimed he was too gay for Raffles, which I’m still laughing about, because Raffles. Anyway, watch out if you try to get the DVD because it is NOT included in S1, whatever lies Amazon tells. It is up somewhere online, though, I think.

Bognor “Unbecoming Habits” (1981). Some down marks for possibly the worst 80s theme & incidiental music ever, but fun & has been shown on Talking Pictures lately. JM is an Abbot running a honey-making friary that is actually a hotbed of spies, murder, gay sex and squash playing. This is the point at which he chooses to strip off on screen for the first time, because strong squash-playing abbots do that kind of thing apparently.

Guest of the week in ongoing series/serials

Since even series with a lot of continuity tended to write episodes as self-contained plays (like SotT), these are usually accessible on their own.

Manhunt “Death Wish” (1970). This is one of the most serialised shows here, but this episode is still fairly contained. WWII drama about three Resistance agents on the run across France. JM is... a Nazi agent & former academic trying to break an old friend (one of the series’ three leads, Peter Barkworth) with kindness, possibly?? (Manhunt is very angry and psychological & dark and obv. comes with major WWII warnings (& more if you want to try the whole thing), but it’s also v good.) Up on YT, I think.

Doomwatch “The Iron Doctor” (BBC S2 1971). “Doomwatch” is the nickname of a gov’t dept led by Dr Spencer Quist that investigates new scientific projects for abuse/corruption/things that might cause fish to make men infertile etc. etc. JM is a surgeon who comes to their attention because he’s a bit too in love with his computer for the comfort of one of his more junior colleagues. (I think it’s perfectly comprehensible & a nice guest turn, but it is hard to get hold of outside of the series DVD. Which, being a cult TV person, I loved a lot anyway, but YMMV!)

***Hadleigh “The Caper” (S3 1973). Hadleigh is a very middle of the road show, but watchable enough (lead is Gerald Harper, who’s always entertaining) and this is pretty self-contained as it centres around an old con-man friend (JM) of Hadleigh’s manservant causing trouble by pretending to be Gerald Harper, for reasons. JM seems to be having a ball.

Justice 2 episodes, S3 1974. He guests twice as an opposing barrister & gets to be part of some nice showdown court scenes. Again, a middle of the road drama, but stars Margaret Lockwood, who was still just as awesome in the 1970s as she was in the 1930s & 40s. On YT.

Father Brown “The Curse of the Golden Cross” (1974). JM is an American archaeologist getting death threats; stars Kenneth More as Father Brown. Just a note, though, that 1970s TV adaptations tended to be really really faithful and this is one of the stories where Chesterton comes out with an anti-semitic moment... (JM was unconscious for that bit and, frankly, I envied him.) But otherwise lots of angsting in yet another fake moustache about someone trying to kill him.

The Hanged Man “The Bridge Maker” (1975). Confession time, I have v little idea what this one was about apart from Ray Smith being an unlikely Eastern European dictator, as this whole series went over my head and was not really my thing. (Ask @mariocki they’re cleverer than me and liked it & can probably explain the plot!) I don’t know if it’s available anywhere off the DVD but on a JM scale it was v good/different as he was a coldly villainous head of security & it wouldn’t be too bad to watch alone, but there was an overarching plot going on somewhere.

Doctor Who “Underworld” (1978). This is famously one of the worst serials in the whole of classic Who, but largely because of behind-the-scenes circumstances, not the guest cast. There is some nice stuff, though, esp in Ep1 (JM is a near-immortal alien who’d like to lay down and die but still the Quest is the Quest as they say... a lot) & it’s bound to pop up on YT or Daily Motion. The DVD has extras that include v v brief bits of JM speaking in his actual real accent (which he otherwise does in NONE of these) & making jokes in character. Honestly, though, this is the only DW where the behind-the-scenes doc is genuinely the most exciting bit as they desperately invented whole new technologies & methods of working to bring us this serial, and then everybody wished they hadn’t.

*** Enemy at the Door “Treason” (LWT 1978). This is a weird episode but I love it lots - from a (v v good) series about the occupation of the Channel Islands. (So obv warnings for WWII & Nazis.) JM is a visiting German Generalmajor, but he’s come for a very unusual reason - to ask for help from his brother-in-law, a blackballed British army officer (Joss Ackland). It’s all weird and low key and JM is doomed and nevertheless probably my favourite thing of his that isn’t SotT.

* The Racing Game 2 eps (1979). Adaptation of Dick Francis’s first Sid Halley novel Odds Against (ep1) + 5 original stories for the series. This is an interesting one - JM plays Sid’s father-in-law & they have a lovely relationship that’s central to the book BUT Dick Francis loved this adaptation and Mike Gwilym who played Sid and was inspired to write a sequel Whip Hand, which he tied in with TV canon - and adopted at least three of the cast, including JM. Which means that all the Sid & Charles fanfic is also JM fic by default and it’s quite impressive. (There’s not much but it’s GOOD.) On YT.

Bergerac “Treasure Hunt” (1981). Not a major role, but pretty nice & it’s one a Christmas ep of the detective show (also set on the Channel Islands) that involved Liza Goddard’s cat burglar, which was always the best bit of Bergerac.

His guest spots in Rumpole of the Bailey (1991) “Rumpole a la Carte” and Dr Finlay (1994) are both really just cameos, but both series come round on Freeview; the Rumpole one is funny and the Dr Finlay one his last screen appearance before his death the following year.

Not worth getting just for JM: Subway in the Sky; Bill Brand and Oppenheimer.

These films only have cameos but some quite fun ones and they come around on terrestrial TV: The Damned (1962), The Evil of Frankenstein (1964) & (more briefly) Far From the Madding Crowd (1967). (I think his cameo in Connecting Doors must be at least recognisable as someone spotted him in it just based off my gifs, but it’s not come my way yet.) I’ve never been able to get hold of any of his radio performances, not even the 1990s one.

ETA: I forgot The Power Game! This is the one surviving series where he occurs as a semi-regular (at least until halfway through S1 when he went off to the BBC to be in the now-burninated Hunchback of Notre Dame). This isn’t standalone, but it’s a good series and it is on YT. See how you go with crackly old TV before you brave it but it’s the snarkiest thing ever made about people making concrete and stabbing each other in the back. JM is a civil servant who tries to run the National Export Board and is plagued by Patrick Wymark and Clifford Evans as warring businessmen.

***

[... Well, now I just feel scary. 0_o In my defence, I have been stuck home bored & ill for years, and often unable to watch modern TV while trying to cheer myself up with James Maxwell, so I didn’t watch all of this at once. It just... happened eventually after SotT. /waves hand

But if anyone feels the need to unfriend my quietly at this point, I understand. /o\]

This is something i like to discuss for fun, u dont have to answer if u dont want to: what party do you think the characters of ST would support? Its already canon in S2 that the Wheelers are Republicans and the Hendersons are Democrats, i guess Robin and the Byers family could be democrats too, but what about the rest like Steve, El, Max, Hopper and the Sinclairs?

Sorry for taking so long. I needed to mull over this and try to sort out timelines.

I don’t think we know quite enough about the Sinclair’s to solidly guess, except statistically they’d have voted Dem in 1984- they’d have lived through the Civil Rights Movement, Mr. Sinclair fought in Vietnam and is proud enough of his service that his son idolized it, and they definitely actively discuss politics and civics frequently since Erica is terrifying. If I had to I’d say Dems with fiscally conservative leanings.

Hopper’s father lived through the depression, watched the effect of the dust-bowl and would have been the right age to have fought in WWII. I see Hopper being raised with a sort of distrustful right-wing populism. Hopper himself tossed the right wing part but took the distrust and the ‘fuck the man’ part to heart- though he still enlisted in Vietnam pretty much right after high school (the time for a tour, becoming a cop, moving to NYC, and having Sara is extremely crowded and unlikely for him to have been in the draft lottery) but doesn’t like to talk about it (see: Darkness On The Edge of Town). I’m going to say Hopper wasn’t a voter. Told everyone it was all bullshit and they were suckers for bothering cause they were all the same…at least until he ended up with El and a moral obligation to vote out the bastards responsible for hurting his kid (he’s not forgetting that time they tortured him either). Hopper votes against Republicans out of pure spite.

Joyce started getting involved in causes at the end of high-school- busing to Civil Rights and anti-war marches- her parents hated it and she’d come home and be grounded every time but she went anyway. She never really got the chance to really get into the counter-culture movement of the later 60′s though, since she married Lonnie early and Lonnie wouldn’t have his wife running around participating in all that shit-stirring garbage instead of at home where she belonged. Joyce got the the caring exhausted out of her for a long time- but with everything that’s happened since 1984 she’s starting to get involved again. Joyce always votes for the most progressive candidate.

For the Party I honestly can’t even imagine voting normally with what they know about…everything. Like, how the hell can El vote for anyone given what happened to her? Project MKUltra (in real life) spanned the time from ‘53-73, and obviously through 1983 in the show so it’s not like there’s one administration or party to blame. Mike, Lucas, and Dustin were almost killed by the CIA at 11 years old. These kids Trust No One.

Nancy’s political leanings are ‘Whistleblower’ - Doc Owens fields calls by everyone from local politicians to presidential candidates about how to keep Nancy Wheeler away from them at all costs. Nancy never holds her nose and votes- she’ll stick to her morals and ideology even if the outcome is a disaster. Till the day she dies she never admits that voting for Nader was a mistake.

Jonathan votes Dem. He doesn’t talk or fight about it. Just shows up on election day and votes. When he’s on assignment or shooting somewhere out of the country he always remembers to get an absentee ballot. He re-registers when he moves.

Steve gets absolutely paralyzed by indecision every time there’s an election since at this point he’s pretty terrified of both the Russian and United States Government, equally, since one tortured him and the other tortured his friends and keeps almost ending the world. Also his family are rich Republican WASP yuppies and he has no idea how to cope with distrusting The Man.

Also, also he’s really confused about where the hell his polling place is.

Ultimately he votes for whoever Robin and Dustin are voting for and feels pretty good about it.

Thanks for the ask! I really enjoyed this one!

9) Hi! I'm hoping you guys could help me find a fic? i'm looking for a taekook fic where they meet again at an event and taehyung didn't expect jungkook to present as an alpha. in the fic mates mark each others with scars and jungkook still has the scar that tae gave him when they were young (tae didn't have a scar cos they got scared from the blood). In the fic jimin is an alpha and the very start of the fic was vmin rushing to the event cos they fell asleep. [cont] seokjin and namjoon are betas in the fic if i remember correctly. Also, i'm not sure if this is the same fic but jk set suga's contact image as yoonji and when he bumped into taehyung and jimin at the market yoongi called him to ask him to hurry and jimin saw the contact photo and was interested lol so he asked jk for yoongi's number thinking he was a girl. When tae and jm go to jk's dance studio he sees yoongi there with jk and thought they were twins lol. [cont] SORRY FOR SENDING SO MANY MESSAGES but i would be really grateful if you guys knew which fic (might be separate fics?) i'm looking for. I've tried searching tags and scrolling through my history but i couldn't find anything :( thank you so much in advance and sorry for spamming your inbox :')

10) Hello! I'm looking for a fic I read last year. It's a Namgi that I think is set in college. I don't remember much but it has a scene where Namjoon is getting beat up in a locker room/gym at high school and Yoongi finds him because he's going to basketball practice. Yoongi runs to get the principal and the bullies get expelled. Namjoon tells Yoongi/he figures out, that Namjoon planned it to get the bullies expelled. It's a how-they-met story. I think Yoongi was class president too. Thank you! :)

11) I looked through you tags and tried to find it on ao3 too but I can’t :( can you help,,,, it’s a junghope where (I think) Jungguk is having a hard time in college and Hoseok is like “hey make a bucket list of things you want to do” and so they do and then find feeling along the way. I very specifically remember two of the items on the list,, 1) riding a Segway 2) being fucked against a wall Thank you!!!❤️❤️

12) Hi! I've been looking for a 1 (or 2) chapter jikook fic. Jimin recently broke up with an asshole. Jungkook works at some kind of gun range/shooting place. JM is convinced to take a class there, and JK asks him on a date. After the date, JM never calls JK, and it upsets JK because he feels like he was led on. Actually, JM's ex had been bugging him and emotionally abusing JM into thinking he wasn't good enough. In the end, JM explains it, and jikook get together. Thank you for your help!

13) Hi, I'm looking for a age swap fic where the members wake up with their ages swapped. I remember the first one was Jimin and Jungkook waking up with their ages swapped, and then after that it was Yoongi and Taehyung, and then they would eventually forget that they weren't actually that age, and the other members were the only ones who knew that they weren't actually that age. Also there was Taekook (I think). Can anyone help me find this fic? Thanks

im not gonna call you hyung by aprofessorstale

14) Hi! Could you please help me find a fic? I read this awhile ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s a Yoonseok fic where Yoongi and Hobi got into a fight because I think Yoongi had a soft spot for Jimin and tried comforting him and Hobi was jealous or so. They decided to take a break from the relationship and all of the members urged them to talk it out but they were stubborn not to. Also Jimin and Yoongi were never dating. I’m sorry if it’s vague and not making any sense.

15) Hey! Looking for this Jikook fic where they're both sons from rival companies but have been in a sexual relationship since boarding school? Can't remember the name. Thanks!

All Your Glory by eumorious

16) Hi I'm not sure if you can help me find this since it's a smau and now a fic. Its jikook, hs. I think jm is rich and jk is a hockey player or something. But jm likes tae and asks jk to teach him how to do sexual stuff but also fake dates him and they end up real dating.

17) Hello, I've been searching for this one fic on AO3 where Jimin gets betrayed/stabbed? by Taehyung. Taehyung seemed to be really skittish and was freaking Jimin out. I also know Jungkook ends up marrying a detective? If you guys don't know it's okay!

18) Hi! I’ve been looking for this one fic- I think it was Yoongi/Hoseok/Jungkook? And Yoongi was a tattoo artist along with another kpop singer (not BTS). I also remember at some point Yoongi gets a birthday cupcake that says “Hyung loves you” and he ends up attempting suicide too? Thanks for any help! 😭

American Horror Story: Evan Peters on the latest plot twist and the 'terrifying' remainder of Cult.

This week, AHS: Cult viewers received some pivotal information about cult leader Kai (Evan Peters): his parents are basically rotting in their upstairs bedroom and his brother is psychiatrist Dr. Vincent (Cheyenne Jackson). Kai also had one of his most purely terrifying moments in this hour when he pressured his followers into killing one of their own with a nail gun.

Who decided on Kai’s blue hair color? Evan: That was originally my idea. I remember seeing this movie called SLC Punk and I always associated Detroit with this punk rock type scene. There was something kind of scary but alluring and kind of underground about blue hair. I was also looking around me and seeing so many people with blue hair — I was shocked! I was like, this is some kind of sign and I just have to do it. Everybody has brown hair, blonde hair, and red hair. So it was kind of like, destroy what’s already kind of going on everywhere — what’s normal — and let’s create something new. That was the logic behind it.

When you found out you were going to be a cult leader, did you do research on Charles Manson or David Koresh?Evan: Absolutely. I read a lot of books. I read Seductive Poison, which is about a survivor of the Jonestown Massacre. I read Combatting Cult Mind Control, which is a great book to help people get out of cults. I read a great book called The Art of Seduction. I watched as many documentaries as I could on cults — a great one to watch is Holy Hell on Netflix.

What was your biggest takeaway or what did you learn about these kinds of leaders? That they feed on people’s weaknesses? Evan: hat’s exactly what they do. It’s usually people who are educated, oddly enough. And smart and with it. They want somebody to lead for them. So these leaders usually isolate everybody and keep information from the outside world out and the leader is always right. They find wounds and they find weaknesses and they cut them open and they can embarrass you and shame you. Then, on the other hand, they can be very sweet to you and motivate you but it’s all in the vein of their cause. Another thing that they do is, they sleep deprive you so that you can’t think clearly. Everything that they say at that point becomes almost like they’re a god. You’re looking at them through this haze of tiredness and hunger and malnutrition and you just believe everything they say and they become infallible.

You’re playing multiple cult leaders, right, like Jim Jones and David Koresh? Is that all in one episode? Evan: No, it’s all the way until the end. It’s over the course of some episodes. There’s one episode where there’s a lot of them.

How challenging was that? Those are all very different guys. Evan: It was difficult. But it was really, really fun. It was incredibly difficult. A lot of research was involved in it. First, Ryan told me I was playing Andy Warhol and so I immediately started doing research on him and just fell in love with him. I thought he was amazing and the ’60s and The Factory and that whole world to live in is so fun. So it was great to learn about him but challenging to get his mannerisms and his speech and his state of mind. I would just listen to him constantly. For every person, there was luckily some sort of video or recording of them on YouTube.

You’ve done this seven years now. It’s definitely your biggest character since Tate in season 1. How do you qualify Kai? How do you rank him? Is he a favorite? Evan: He’s definitely the most prominent, therefore I got to play him the most and sort of explore him the most. In that respect, I think he was not only my most challenging and exhausting but as a result the most fun and I learned the most from it. It’s a very current character with the fear that’s going on in our country. I think Kai ranks as No. 1 on all the characters I’ve played.

Was it hard to let go of, though, because this plotline hits so close to home? Evan: Well, we wrapped the 22nd [of September]. He’s very wound up and high-strung and on edge all the time. He could get angry so easily. That hasn’t started to wind down till a little bit now. It took me a little over a week to let that go. [Laughs] But it was a lot. It was just the longest, most exhausting shoot and the hardest I had to work.

On a lighter note, is that actual Cheetos dust on your face? Evan: It was yeah. And you’ll notice if you ever are feeling risky or frisky and you decide to put Cheetos on your face, it’s more of a paler consistency. So we threw in a little orange paint in there as well. There were definitely Cheetos chunks in there and I definitely rubbed Cheetos all over my face.

Was that a good mask? How did that affect the skin? Evan: It was nice. It was kind of an astringent and a little drying. It was good for the normal to oily skin and to alleviate that shine.

Did you smell like Cheetos for days? Evan: We shot part of it and then we had to go to lunch. They were like, “You could wipe it off and we could reapply it.” I was like, “Let’s just keep it on. It’s going to be so hard to match that so let’s keep it on.” So everything I ate tasted or smelled like Cheetos.

You had to wear the Rubber Man costume. How are the costumes? How does that rate against the clown gear? Evan: I have to say it’s a little hot. A lot of that material is pretty thick and the jacket is leather. Those masks are really scary but kind of hilarious because we can’t see anything. So we’re like trying to walk around the set and we’re bumping into everything and swinging knives and missing.

You’ve had to do some nutty things on the show. How does masturbating in front of Billy Eichner rank? Evan: Look, it’s never an easy day at work when you have to jerk off in front of a bunch of strangers. It’s a little daunting. You kind of have to in a sense check out or put up a wall. I have done some insane stuff. There’s been so much sex and murder on the show that it was pretty small compared to where this season goes. So I was like, let’s just get in there and break the ice.

Was the nail gun scene disturbing to shoot? It’s terrifying to watch. Evan: Was intense. Everybody was upset and had to be upset about killing our friend. Makeup did a great job and made it very real and it was also performed very real. The thing about it is, there are certain scenes when you’re playing Kai that are excruciatingly difficult, like the flashback stuff. Then, you have the other stuff, like that, which for everyone else it was hard to shoot but for me it was enjoyable because the character was enjoying it in a way. Although, when you take a step back and look at it from the outside, it’s like, Jesus Christ, what are we doing here?

I love the relationship between Beverly (Adine Porter) and Kai. She seems to be getting more power hungry. Do we continue to follow that relationship’s evolution? Evan: Yeah, absolutely. And you’re right on track with that: she’s definitely getting more power hungry. I want it to be equal power but then years of oppression. It’s interesting seeing that relationship unfold and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed as the season goes on.

It must so weird to be so antagonistic for Sarah but last season you were married on Roanoke. In real life, you’ve known her for so long and you’re friends. Evan: It’s been fun and Sarah is such a great actress and is a very giving actress and will help you in a lot of ways. I really like working with her. I think when it comes to being antagonistic with her there’s a certain understanding we have where we can get into it and play that. But then, at the end of the day or in between takes, laugh or screw around.

What can you say about Kai going forward? Is his rise just going to continue? Evan: Yeah. Right now he’s a narcissist but then he turns into a megalomaniac and it just gets more and more and more. It’s tragic and fun and scary to watch Kai’s power get strong and stronger and stronger with the lack of sanity and empathy he has. It gets pretty terrifying.

1/8 - It's The End Of The World As We Know It

(zandraart.tumblr.com)

Chapter 1 by R

You don't say anything, as you stand there, on the surface of a world which isn't yours. You can't, in these suits; they work well enough but they're so old that the radio is broken. It's better, this way.

Words could only ruin this moment.

It's just the two of you, here, now. There are other people, of course, there are always other people, but in this moment, no one exists. This is to grand a thing for such ideas as selves, as identities.

You hold her hand tightly.

What was your home, what was your world, what was your everything - or maybe, maybe she's your everything - explodes, shattering, a slow motion catastrophe which leaves nothing behind but dust.

Now, there is no turning back.

Chapter 2 by RCD2017 (the one writer to write them all)

It all started a month ago, when you and your girlfriend signed up for the last space expedition to go to the new planet, Ai, also known as the love planet because of it's pink plant life. Perfect place to go to with the person you love. It was going to be amazing.

You left with your girlfriend to Ai. It is amazing, and your girlfriend seems to love being with you on another planet too. Of course, you were both signed up for an expedition, so you had to do work, but it was still amazing. You both weren't alone either, there were other people too. There are always other people, but you didn't mind.

Ai was a really small planet, it was really more of a moon, if you dug down 20 miles (32 kilometers), you would reach the center of it. Meaning that if you drove around it going 60 mph (96 kph) you would go the whole circumference in 2 hours and 5 minutes. The only reason it wasn't marked down as a moon was because of it's plant life, and the extremely dense core, making it have a gravity that was actually about the same as Earth.

Chapter 3 by August W. Stubbes

During that month before it happened, you and your girlfriend enjoyed hanging around on Ai. Everything was so lovely and peaceful. It was nice leaving the overcrowded, overpopulated, and overly serious Earth. Even if it was just for a few weeks.

However, over the time exploring the tiny planetoid and relaxing in the quaint hotel, you would occasionally hear a whisper between passing couples of troubles back home. You were nearly oblivious to what was actually happening. You didn't bother to look into it, you assumed that it was one of the many problems that Earth usually had. Not to mention, you wanted to relax with your girlfriend. Free time was hard to come by.

Chapter 4 by intellikat

You were walking hand and hand along the Nerub Tributary when the sky had turned hot white; a silent flash-bang like a single reboot of the galaxy.

The absolute horror of what had happened did not match the simpleness and efficiency of Earth's destruction. One moment, it was there, hanging in the sky like a beautiful blue fruit, and the next moment it was gone, as that hot-white light faded down to an emptiness sinking into your heart as none other could.

The blackness of the blank sky above confirmed that your planet and home had been obliterated in one, final moment of anger, fear, and resentment that had grown over the past half-century and never been resolved. Not by delegations, nor treaties, nor wars, nor secret alliances, nor peace movements, nor the advancement of consciousness, nor technology and medicine, nor trade and economics, nor education and globalization, nor by anything else had the Earth been spared this crushing end. Humans were incapable of steering their race from this inevitability.

You were still holding Danika's hand, but only barely. Your body felt as if the life had fled from you.

Minutes or hours passed, you don't know which, and then you turned to her. The radios did not work in the old helmets, but your eyes said the same thing.

No earth. No home. Only this... Ai, the pink planet with its overstated beauty and its home to the thirty-two humans of the final expedition.

The thirty-two humans left alive in the universe.

Chapter 5 by Cancer

Only thirty-two... what a small number from billions to tens.

Your race would not thrive very long. How long would your machines last? They are the only things keeping you alive -generating oxygen, food, and water out of thin air. If they broke down, only a few would know how to fix it.

What will become of you if they perished?

Should you try producing more humans, or should you just let the universe decide the fate of humanity? There were more males than females on this planet - most married and with dead spouses on "Earth".

Hope is truly lost. Many have attempted suicide, while others chose to believe that earth still existed.

Five years have passed since then, and you are down to thirty adults and four children. Supplies are being rationed, and everything seems to be fine - at the moment.

Another three years have passed, and you have spotted and claimed a spacecraft from "Earth" which contained a young Japanese girl! You suspect that she knows how the Earth was destroyed, but she is in a suspended animation state and is feeding through tubes.

Chapter 6 by intellikat

Those who believed that Earth still existed had created something akin to a religion, or at least a following. Most of them had been religious in some form in their lives back on Earth, and in many ways it was not surprising that they would create something new here on Ai with what yearnings and impulses remained.

Though they had no priest, nor pastor, nor leader, Danforth was their most outspoken, and was best able to articulate the views of the small group of eight. In brief, they held that the Earth had not been destroyed, but had been raptured away by an all-powerful sentience. For what purpose, you were not clear. The rest of the expedition group had begun calling them Rapturians, and the name had stuck.

The Japanese girl now lays in stasis in the medical housing. Your only qualified doctor, a now aging woman named Cryssel, stands over her, checking her vital signs. Outside, Danforth stalks back and forth.

You look worried, you say to him.

And you're not?

Why should I be?

She's not from Earth, he replies, looking in through a small window.

How do you know that?

God is testing us. He sighs, as if you should know this. He's waiting for us to be purged of the sins of our forefathers that we may repopulate the Earth. Earth waits for us in his reality. Spotless and clean. Ai is our purgation. Our proving ground.

Ai is our home now, Danforth, says one of the others.

No, Danforth says. Ai is nothing.

How is God testing us? you interrupt, trying to get back to Danforth's first statement. With this girl?

Danforth looks at you coldly for a moment.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

Danforth shoots you a look that is at once mocking and somehow inviting. The next moment, he is stalking away.

The few of you in the chamber look at one another in bewilderment.

Rapturians, mutters one.

Something in you feels unsettled the entire rest of the day.

Chapter 7 by BluNerd

The emptiness in the sky, where the Earth used to be, it still haunts you, after all these years. You know that you will die on this planet. And there's nothing you can do except wait, savor these few days you have left. This is quite hard, as the rations get lower, so does the general mood of the colony. Hunger brings stress. A few colonists have gone insane, killing themselves. You choose not to go down that path. The Japanese girl has shown signs that maybe one day she will awake, but it is very taxing on the colony to keep her alive. Several have tried to kill her to save food. The doctor did not let that happen. She injected the rogue assassins with an anaesthetic syringe, knocking them out. Their punishment? Banishment from the colony. While still knocked out, they were driven to the other side of this measly "planet" and dropped off. There they would lay until they ran out of oxygen in their tanks. Two humans down. As for the children, they seem to be developing some sort of learning disorder, possibly from all the stress and anxiety in the colony. Even the child that is of 8 years has only learned basic English, the colonists being too busy to properly teach him. Overall, the colony is not doing good.

But that changes when she wakes up.

Chapter 8 by Ev B

Cryssel is there when her eyes open. She calls everyone in the colony. We all gather around the bed she's been in since she arrived. The children are so feral that they can barely be coralled.

Cryssel tells us she removed all of the equipment hooked up to her. The years old artificial breather is in her closed fist. Danforth mutters something about the Antichrist.

Then suddenly, her eyes open- and immediately we all know something is wrong. Her eyes aren't right.

She stares at the people in front of her for a moment, but she's ot really seeing them. Then she turns her head and looks me right in the eye.

"You," she says without words, but we all hear it. I am absolutely frozen.

The room erupts into shouts. The Rapturians are yelling about damnation and the Antichrist. One of the children shrieks, unearthly, inhuman, and we all go quiet.

"Me?" I say.

Chapter 9 by StanG

"Me? Er... what?" I swallowed harder than I'd intended, a large 'gulp' escaping my throat, giving away the fear those dead, black eyes had aroused.

Yes, you! she spoke in my mind. You witnessed the demise of your home world and are chosen to lead your people to their new home.

"Lead? Me? My people? Whoa! I- I think you may not understand the dynamics of this small world, whoever you are!"

Even your young understand the dynamics of this world better than you!

"O- Our young? They can't even speak our language properly. W-

What would they know?"

All will become clear shortly. Ai has been a prominent part of your home world history for many centuries gone and is once again to be your ruin, if you do not leave this place now.

"Danforth? Danforth! Have you any idea what she's talking about? Help me, man!"

Danforth stood nearby, mouth agape and eyes wide open, obviously struggling to get a grip on the proceedings. I tapped him on his shoulder to bring him back to reality, only to have him jump as though he'd been shot.

"Wha-! Don't DO that, man!" he screamed at me.

"I only tapped- ah, never mind! Have you been following what this crazy girl has been saying?"

"Following? Y- Yeah, how could I NOT? Man, I can hear her- in my MIND! She's talking to the kids, too. Did you know that?"

Disbelief overwhelmed me. "She's... talking to the kids?"

"Yeah, man. Like, all the time. Can't you hear her? It's like wind and water in my head all the time."

"No, Danforth, I can't- what? Wind and water in your head? Crysell, is there anything you can do for Danforth? I think he's finally losing his mind."

As though swimming to the surface of a deep lake, Crysell came back to the room, reacting to my voice. The colour returning gradually to her face showed what all of this had done to her, too.

"Abe, I'm not so sure Danforth is losing anything. In fact, he may just be gaining something, as I'm certain we all must be." Crysell spoke slowly, determined to finish her sentence.

One of the young kids decided now would be a good time to scream in one of the most shockingly inhuman voices I'd ever heard.

"Get out of here! Get out! Now!"

Chapter 10 by Shasta

The child was not addressing you, but the Japanese girl. The girl with the wrong color of eyes. The girl who could whisper into your mind, and the other colonists.

Danforth sighed. "What now, Dia?"

The child, a young girl with a bob of brown hair, continued to wail. Her mouth opened and closed, but no words formed. No words could form. No one had taught her the language, and the children were banned from being around most adults to save their innocence. Children were smart. They would pick up on the fact that we were doomed.

The Japanese girl smiled. "Dia just was confused, isn't that right, Dia?"

Dia nodded, muttering a sound of agreement. Danforth and Cryssel seemed to take this without doubt. But, you? You had doubt.

"What was she confused about?" you asked, glancing at the Japanese girl. "Who are you?"

"She was confused about a noise. I am Chaheo." She smiled softly. "Would you prefer if I talked aloud to you?"

"I would prefer to know how you can talk in minds to begin with," you snapped.

Chaheo pointed at Cryssel. "Ask her. She tested on me, and the children as well. Do you know why they can't speak? It's because their words are in their minds. She disabled them from every leaving."

Chaheo unhooked herself from the machines that had been keeping her alive, and walked over to Cryssel. "She has been doing the work the scientists on Earth had told her to do. However, there was a letter of termination sent to her a while back, telling her that it was too dangerous to experiment on the embryo, and to do so on adults. I guess she never got it?"

Cryssel smiled, flashing teeth. "I got it, Chaheo. I had orders from an even higher power to not terminate the experiment."

"God?" Danforth asked hopefully, seeming to dwell inside himself.

Cryssel laughed. "No, of course not! There is no God, not anymore."

"Who gave the orders then?" you asked, feeling an icy shiver go down your spine.

Cryssel sighed. "We aren't alone in this universe. My orders came from one of the other species in the universe. The same species that blew up Earth."

You feel a sting in your heart as you put the pieces together. "You're a traitor. You're the reason Earth blew up."

Chapter 11 by intellikat

You reach for a thermoplaster, which lies on a nearby table, but Cryssel is faster still. Your hand stings and then throbs as she backs away, wrench in hand, and then bolts out the door.

"Get her," you rasp, holding your injured hand with the other.

Three make s start as the children seem to bob and weave in place around you.

"Are you alright, brother?" asks Danforth, and you nod.

The children now begin to chitter, their teeth clacking together in some truly unearthly rhythm that sends a shot through your body. All around you they stand affixed to the floor, yet rocking wildly as if suctioned with cups-- some horrific ritual you've never before witnessed.

LUCY AT THE DRIVE-IN MOVIE

S2;E8 ~ November 10, 1969

Directed by George Marshall ~ Written by Milt Josefsberg and Ray Singer

Synopsis

When Kim goes to a drive-in movie with her boyfriend Alan, Lucy and Harry spy on them dressed in hippie clothes to blend in.

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter), Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter), Desi Arnaz Jr. (Craig Carter)

Guest Cast

Robert L. Hughes (Alan Stevens) was mainly a theatre artist with only a dozen screen appearances, including playing the Colorado River Guide in “Lucy Runs the Rapids” (S2;E4). Hughes left show business in the 1980s to pursue a business career.

Interestingly, in his previous appearance as the Colorado River Guide, Kim flirted with him, which Lucy disapproved of. Alan's mother is in the social register and his father is a millionaire. He is 21 and taking post-graduate courses. Lucy still disapproves of him!

Larry J. Blake (Manager of the Drive-In) appeared as a Native American Medicine Man in “Lucy the Rain Goddess” (TLS S4;E15). He was an ex-vaudevillian making the second of his eight “Here’s Lucy” appearances.

Jackie Joseph (Jackie Berry) is perhaps best known as Audrey in the 1960 (non-musical) horror/comedy film The Little Shop of Horrors. From 1960-76 Jackie Joseph was married to performer, Ken Berry, one of Lucille Ball's protege's who was shooting “Mayberry R.F.D.” on the Desilu Paramount lot and followed “Here's Lucy” on the CBS Monday night line-up. Joseph and Lucille Ball appeared together in the film A Guide for the Married Man (1967).

Jackie Joseph is using her married name for the character. Jackie Berry is a married friend of Kim's who has a newborn named Wendy. Her husband is in the service.

Orwin C. Harvey (Drive-In Patron with dog, uncredited) was an actor and stuntman who played one of the singing and dancing teamsters in “Lucy Helps Ken Berry” (TLS S6;E21). This is one of his six appearances on “Here’s Lucy.”

Harvey was featured on the same “Lucy Show” episode that also starred Jackie Joseph’s husband, Ken Berry.

Robert Buckingham (Drive-In Patron, uncredited) had been seen with Lucille Ball in Critic's Choice (1963). This is his third and last uncredited appearance on the series.

Other men and women (and one dog) at the drive-in go uncredited.

The final draft of this script was submitted on April 28, 1969.

On the date this episode was originally aired (November 10, 1969) “Sesame Street” debuted on PBS, changing the landscape of children's television. In 1970, production memos for the show indicate that Lucille Ball and Gale Gordon were to be guest stars, with their segments taped at the Paramount stage where they were shooting “Here's Lucy.” The appearances, however, were postponed and never came to be. In 2007 “Sesame Street” mentioned “I Love Lucy,” although they were referring to Lucy the Lazy Lizard. During the reference, the background music was similar to the “I Love Lucy” theme. In the book Sesame Street Unpaved it is pointed out that Snuffy shares his astrological sign, Leo, with Lucille Ball.

"Vitameatavegemin is almost as hard to say as Snuffleupagus".

In the DVD introduction to the episode, Jackie Joseph reinforces that Lucille Ball was all business on the set, but a dear friend when not working.

The episode opens with Craig alone in the living room singing along to a record. "It Was a Very Good Year" is a song Ervin Drake composed in 1961 for and originally recorded by Bob Shane with The Kingston Trio. It was subsequently made famous by Frank Sinatra and won him a Grammy Award in 1966. Craig imitates Sinatra's performance style, but Lucy jokingly says she thought he was imitating Lawrence Welk. Lucy admits that Sinatra was her idol when she was a bobby-soxer. Lawrence Welk will make an appearance as himself on a future “Here's Lucy” episode. Although Lucille Ball knew Sinatra socially, the two never acted together on screen.

When Lucy hears that Kim's boyfriend Alan graduated from Berkeley, she is visibly upset. Craig jokes that Alan got two degrees and three arrests for picketing. During the 1960s the University of California Berkeley was the site of several riots and protest marches that received national attention.

When Lucy is concerned about Kim being too young for Alan, Craig reminds Lucy that she was 17 when she married his father. This is one of the few mentions of Lucy's late husband.

Kim and Alan are going to the drive-in to see a (fictional) Italian film titled La Notte Del Bacio Dolce, which translates to Sweet Night Kiss. Craig also goes on a date to another drive-in with his girlfriend Patty. This may be seen as a coy reference to Desi Jr.'s dating Patty Duke, although most sources agree that the two did not meet until 1970, a year after this episode was filmed.

Lucy does a long comic take when she realizes Kim and Alan are going to a drive-in. In the 1950s and 60s drive-in movies were dubbed “passion pits” because they were a popular place for teenagers to be alone together for making out on a date. Although drive-in theatres were very popular in the 1960s there are hardly any remaining today. The first one opened in Camden, New Jersey in 1933. The fourth in the nation was in Los Angeles (above) in 1934. Although Lucy is a self-confessed movie fan, she acts as though she has never been to a drive-in before, not knowing how to activate the sound or where to hang the speaker.

Meanwhile, bachelor Harry is home alone looking at the centerfold of a magazine that has a scantily clad woman on the cover! Although the magazine's name has been taped over, it is likely supposed to be Playboy magazine. In the image of Playboy’s founder, Hugh Hefner, Harry wears a red silk smoking jacket and is drinking a cocktail. While ogling the centerfold from every angle he sighs and sings “To dream the impossible dream.” “The Impossible Dream” was written by Joe Darion and Mitch Leigh for the 1964 Broadway musical Man of La Mancha. Harry also looked at a magazine with a centerfold in “Lucy's Birthday” (S1;E8).

This is an expensive shoot for “Here's Lucy” because of the many cars needed for the drive-in scene:

1969 Red Plymouth Barracuda convertible (Alan's car)

1965 Yellow Dodge Dart convertible (Lucy's car)

1969 Blue Plymouth Valiant (Younger necking couple's car)

1969 Blue Plymouth Barracuda (Older necking couple's car)

1969 Blue Simca 1204 [928] (Man with dog's car)

1964 Red Plymouth Valiant Signet

1969 Beige Simca 1118 [950]

1969 Yellow Triumph TR6

When “Viv Visits Lucy” (TLS S5;E15) they both dress as beatniks to spy on a friend's son who is hanging out with the hippies on the Sunset Strip.

Lucy and Harry's 1965 Dodge Dart is the same car used in “Lucy Helps Craig Get a Driver's License” (S1;E24)...

... except that the license plate was California WMO-526 and it is now UTM-541. Also, the dialogue infers that it is Harry's car, not Lucy's.

The hood of Alan's car has collected a great deal of dust. Apparently the vehicle was in studio storage for quite some time and not wiped down prior to shooting.

“Lucy at the Drive-In Movie” rates 4 Paper Hearts out of 5

Besides the crazy get-ups worn by Lucille and Gale , this episode is very funny, with a great twist ending.
