Slam-bang Conclusion
by stilichobias2025-10-16
7/10

"This episode isn't anything particularly special with the exception of three things. First is the presence of Jim Davis in the role of the boss of a gang of gunrunners. Along with Ben Johnson, very few Western actors have the air of authenticity that Davis does. Second is X. Brands as a half-Indian outlaw who seeks to buy a passel of guns and ammo. I had never seen Brands before but was extremely impressed. He conveyed a menacing nature exceptionally well and seemed like an actual Indian. I was very surprised to learn his ethnicity is German. And third, the episode ends with a real fire..."

💡 Did You Know?

The Indian,Tahrohon, is probably about 18-20 years old, based on the backstory of Noah finding him 10 years ago when he was a kid, and Festus' comment about getting him some sarsaparilla the next time he's in town, implying that he's too young to drink. The actor playing him, Dan Ferrone was 30 years old at the time.
