Vic Morrow is incredible in this episode, a mysterious character that makes all the difference here. Bonanza and its actors are unforgettable. Thanks for sharing, Grjngo!
Wonderful episode. Vic Morrow was just right for the role of the suave stranger. I have noticed a remarkable thing in this TV show, the female character is also given a crucial part to play, not just a show piece.
p.s. I liked Vic Morrow very much; he one excellent actor...and what a story this is. It may be the best episode I ever saw. It would have been great if Lassiter had stayed in the show. He reminded me some of Pernell Roberts. He had that complete coolness about him and he was confident and sure of himself. My! What a great story.
Go Hoss! He blew that dude into the flames! LOL... And that woman, she finally did the right thing, but it took her too long to do it. Doing the right thing doesn't come easy for her. A woman like this in real life, is dangerous.
So sad that we will never have shows like this again. These days all we get are reality shows and talent shows.... Same shows with just a slight difference .... But I guess that's what people want.... Singers , masked singers .... Same shows different name
@linsqo piring Ikr, I'm literally a 90 pound women and I hate that stuff. I stopped watching Star Wars after "The Last Jedi" made Rey impossible, and treated Luke like trash.
At the beginning of the episode, when I heard they were about to hang our Adam, I almost fell off my chair. I was sad watching a wonderful performance by Vic Morrow, remembering his tragic end. RIP Vic
Lol , it seems they find that out every time in every episode because they are always getting in trouble and almost no one of their "friends" ever helps them they gotta do everything themselves to get out of it.
Perhaps , and perhaps not because kids imitating is such a common thing that they could have both thought of it independently. But very heartwarming scene indeed!
Brilliant. This is Ben Cartwright 's masterpiece. Sally is easily the best looking of the Bonanza women in this season so far. Difficult to understand why the townspeople hate the Cartwrights so much.
Unfortunately, Vic Morrow was killed making a movie, I won't go into too much description but suffice it to say it involved a helicopter top rotor blade. In this episode the fashion in which he became a somewhat silent good guy, it was obvious who he was looking for, especially after it was't :Ben Cartwright.
Bonanza & Gunsmoke were good series, well, some of them were. I used to watch GS a lot but watching Bonanza after a long time of not seeing it, I rather like it more... off & on. Maybe I watch too much sometimes because in each of the 2 series, there is often same old...same old things that get tiresome. In the Bonanza ones Adam & Ben are the best characters (I think) and the best actors. In here one may get tired of Little oe's constant temper all the time or Hoss' making those faces he always has to make for camera because Hoss is not the best actor. Then, I saw 2 episodes one day & I liked them both and since I always liked good film and good books I take in the story and often, if any care to examine them, there is a lot to learn from these characters and tho' I have seen very few good westerns (too much myth & so much made up, fake things,) many episodes really get me pondering...no doubt that is why it lasted 14 years. Adam is the best character in a western I believe & whoever created that character did well.
