Returning Dead

"If we took anymore help from your government, we'd all starve!"-- a serial actor costumed as an Indian chieftain.

I can barely write for my own pleasure anymore, my own sublimation of fulfillment unbound, let alone put my life under siege, on hold for value content to supplement an entitlement as UBI, but I loved Wild Wild West as a kid, and even then, Conrad's figure held my rapt attention. Mothers with children nod their heads and think, Stop there, and normally I would push back with something about vulgar nigger simulations of propriety and convention, but I simply don't have the time, for now, but for a few thoughts. Even for Wild West's action paced plots, Sammy Davis Jr is doing something else in "Returning Dead," and the ghost puppet he uses to break his confederate burrowers is eerily similar to Corbin Bernsen's Ghost Brigade. I lost the thread of the story, and shall return.
