Notes to discuss with Greg Nesbitt (nonfiction).

Previously

  • Hindenburg disaster, Baron Z and The Eel fighting
  • Group comedy ethic: Respond with "Yes, and" (never "no"))
  • Air-horse raiders appear in space-time above planet Earth-space-time, descend on First World War, the worst of it, trenches, shells, gas, 1917, 1916, 1915, working backwards ... Air-horse attack armored electrical-signal-train traversing telegraph wires across Western North America ... race to San Francisco, which telegraph will click first, who will be first to receive the news? "The happiness of Rome seemed to hang upon the outcome of a race" -- Baron Z syndicates the show and sponsors the air-horse raiders ...
  • Havelock - must traverse back before he risks dying "for real", after 1911 - traversing back he keeps his identity - dying "for real" he is reborn the early 1800's with only residual memories of his deal with The Custodian
    • But it's like quitting smoking, he knows he should traverse back, but traversing forward feels so good, and traversing back is worse than work -- it is painful work.
  • Scene: Havelock Plays Russian Roulette for charity at Carnival Tenebre, a dollar a spin, to ransom O. Henry (nonfiction), or maybe for Mark Twain.
