The Green Archer, one of Edgar Wallace’s more famous novels, was adapted several times. Right now we’re looking at the 1940 Columbia serial version. Join us in the month ahead as we ‘archly’ (get it?) examine each episode.Tonight we begin with Chapter 1. I don’t know, that just seemed like a good idea.
And yes, I am weirded out by getting the first roundtable segment up instead of the last one. Don’t worry, I’m sure it will never happen again.

Didn’t Keith get the first one with Creature with the Blue Hand? Or was that just a coincidental choice, or perhaps a sneak preview of this Roundtable? I notice it didn’t have a Roundtable tag.
I’m hoping it’s the latter, because I’d hate to rob you of your one “First!” moment in the Cabal.

Dammit, where’s the Philip Fry “I See What You Did There” image when I need it…

You can still be last, just drag out the reviews of the episodes until everyone else has finished.
Also, thanks for the reminder of The Concorde: Airport ’79: “It says something about the crazy mentality of the serials that the bad guy would decide the easiest way to get rid of an inconvenient brother is to destroy an entire, jam-packed passenger train.”

I’m surprised no one else has pointed this out yet, but the link in the post is wrong. It doesn’t go to the review—it just goes to the image.
