First, I must tattle on myself. If you are a regular reader, this will not surprise you at all. James Cromwell played a psychiatrist along the lines of our oogie Dr. Freeman in the Asylum season. He also played the farmer in Babe. So, every time his Asylum character said something horrifying, I echoed with his Babe line, “That’ll do, pig.” It added a delicious horror-laugh layer to the show.
You either laughed at that, and vow to do it yourself next time you watch, or you are now a little more worried about my mental health than you were. Both responses are correct.
