...episode director Jerry Hopper must have been raised in a sawmill...
...and Swedish-born Karl Swenson, who is as belicose as a pissed off Brahma Bull in portraying the retiring Axel Norstaad....
...apparently, Jerry felt that "the louder the better"... but Karl knew, as do I that ALL Scandinavians tend to be very doft spoken...even taciturn...
