Shadows on the Wall: Episode 44

   

Before continuing, you may enjoy revisiting our original 50th anniversary summary and commentary: https://dsb4idie.blogspot.com/2016/08/episode-44-82566.html


Then & Now

John: Exactly how long has Bill been at the Blue Whale? It seems like it was just minutes ago Carolyn called Vicki from Bangor, and now she's there? Even she asks Bill how long he's been there... Of course, 10 years later it's still not clear why she stopped in at The Blue Whale on her way home from Bangor.

Christine: She stopped in because there was no other character available in today's episode who would be likely to chat with Bill Malloy at the Blue Whale.


John: John Harris' arrival put Liz in the most genial spirits that I think we've ever seen her in. It made me wonder if she might be romantically interested in him. Unfortunately, it didn't last — as soon as John starts talking about Bill, Roger, and Ned, she gets all shaken up.


Christine: It did look like Elizabeth was about to spit out her tea when he shared his opinion about Roger not being any good to run the cannery.



Shadows on the Wall

John: Bill has been rapidly working his way up the drink tracking charts these last few days!

Can you tell what that brooch is that Liz is wearing?

Christine: Your guess is as good as mine. We'll have to keep an eye out for it on future viewings.

John: Carolyn reminds me that they still need a coat rack in the foyer!

Christine: It appears the Blue Whale has done away with its phone booth from Episode 3 and now has a phone mounted on the wall. It must be difficult to hear conversations with all the Bob Cobert tunes blasting from the jukebox. There also appears to be a cigarette machine conveniently located nearby that I had not noticed before. 


What new detail did you spot this time around?
