Killing Lincoln - Nat Geo (Reactions)

Laurie, the ratings system is complicated (as though assassination research isn't). I don't pretend to understand it either.

The important fact is the 3.4 million viewers -- an all time record buster for the network. That's a big deal in TV.

ALSO, this term, "factual drama" which might just be what we've invented. The term seems to be in use in England (BBC) but not so much in this country. It seems that Howard Owens might've co-opted it to define our new paradigm, and I'm terribly pleased.

As per Cox...my notion is that by the early hours of April 16 (1:00 AM) it's been roughly 26 hours since testimony in the Petersen House has fingered Booth. And Mudd's visit to Bryantown (per your brilliant post). And the Ebola-like speed with which news could spread via the Confederate underground. All of this leads to Cox's surmise.
