In case you are new to the board, I am Pykkadilly...most of the regulars in the Discussion Board's Chat Room call me Dilly or Pykky. I am the unofficial
hostess to the weekly "Beefcake Chat Double Feature". The BCDF is where fans of The Big Valley get together and synch up our individual video
players to watch specific episodes of the show--and, as the name implies, we watch two episodes back-to-back. As we watch, we have fun pointing out details or
swapping trivia from the eps as they play.
When we hold these "double features", the first episode we watch is a show from the Official Big Valley DVD sets (there are only two sets so far: one set that has all the episodes from Season One; and the other set that has the first half of Season Two;) and the second episode is from the later seasons which quite a number of Dwellers have been lucky enough to have recorded for themselves.
From this week forward, each of these types of episodes will be shown in order. THUS:
The first episode in this week's BCDF will be from Season One--the episode that started it all: Palms of Glory. This is the pilot episode of the series, where the Barkley clan are visited at their ranch by a totally unexpected guest: Heath, the illegitimate son of the late Tom Barkley. Heath picks a heck of a day to reveal himself to the family, though--it seems that the very same railroad baron responsible for the death of the Barkley patriarch is now threatening citizens of the San Joaquin Valley, and the Barkley brothers are planning to stand against the railroad.
The second episode will be from Season Three--a favorite episode of Nickites everywhere: Ladykiller. Heath and Nick meet a lovely girl from the hard-working Bleeck family. Nick falls for her, unaware that what her family works hardest at is killing travelers for their money. Will Nick become a victim of love..?
The double feature starts at 8pm Eastern time, Saturday, June 12th. We show the first ep, then have an intermission before going on to the second episode. See ya there!
