How The West Was Won 15

Jared Martin. Strong story wastes no time in getting started. Peopled by fascinating and flawed characters. Martin’s fascinating gunfighter (a favourite of mine from the previous season) dominates the first quarter of the story. It’s really all told from his POV. Luke doesn’t appear until the second quarter, and Zeb only appears in the final quarter. Of the family, it is Laura who is the main focus of this episode. An episode devoted entirely to one story (beginning, middle and end) something that has not been before on the show. In ways, it weakens the show, takes away some of what made it unique and makes it a show more like… The Virginian, for example. But, at least in this case, when the story is so strong the resulting episode is magnificent. 10/10
