Fact Checking Jonathan Frakes' choice in props, stalking in the 90s (Rebecca Schaeffer, Single White Female, etc), and back to the ridiculous origin story of Robert E. Lee. I didn't go too deeply into stories of being buried alive because we touched on it in episode 302: Roomy Dungarees for the story of "The Horn". Research assistance from Catherine Stiers! Thank you!
