Ghost of a flea: Lady Rachel Cawdor

Lady Rachel Cawdor

The United States of America is gone. Welcome to Deathlands.

I have endured some horrendous viewing in my ongoing devotion to the speculative fiction career of Traci Elizabeth Lords. Deathlands: Homeward Bound, based on fifth in the voluminous Deathlands series, was the most extreme. Though it is true her portrayal of Lady Rachel Cawdor did not disappoint. Within sixty seconds of her screen appearance Lords' character had a drug induced orgasm, pronounced it to be "better than sex" and proceeded to make out with her son in front of the court of the Ville. Well pardon my fromage but that's what I call television.

Adapted from Deathlands: Homeward Bound � the fifth in a series of more than 50 books � the movie finds Ryan returning to the village of Sherville in what used to be Virginia. There, 20 years earlier, his brother Harvey (Alan C. Peterson) and their young stepmother Rachel (First Wave and Profiler star Traci Elizabeth Lords) conspired to kill the boys' father, the local baron. Harvey ran a sword through Ryan's eye, and left a slash on his brother's cheek. Ryan escaped � and as with Shakespeare's Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth, there will be both tragedy and nobility � both brotherhood and bloodshed.

And here I thought I would never see a sartorially squished bosom on the Flea again...

Well, I am pleased * somebody * is paying attention to my rhetorical flourishes.
