Maybe if it would have had Brigitta Stenberg, Kim Zimmer and Traci Lords you would have liked it better.

The only pa...I could not get into this one at all. The only part I liked about it was seeing John Anderson, who I know has been in some other Westerns besides "North and South" as Highlander sites, cutting it up. He's really good in this role and the only individual scene of the episode that genuinely got me interested was Sam/Tyler and Anderson's character getting sauced and sharing laughs about their crazy times together, but with Anderson's character continuing to affirm that he had to kill him to spare his own honor, followed by his crack shooting based on Sam's doubts that he could still hit a target. This had to be one of John Anderson's last roles as he died later in 1992. He was only 69! I would have figured at least 10 years older than that and not just because I've always envisioned as Grandpa Harry, but the dude has some serious lines on his face and exuded the persona of a crusty old man. I wouldn't doubt if some hard living over the years contributed to that.<br /><br />Beyond that though this was a slow-moving trainwreck and mostly boring as hell. The setting was absurd for 1957 as you said and the entire plot with Stevie just never made sense at any level. I couldn't wait for it to be over. I'll rate this as my second to last episode in between "How the Tess was Won" and "The Portrait of Troian". Unfortunate script for John Anderson to go out on.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-5137709783998290992016-11-03T01:41:10.769-05:002016-11-03T01:41:10.769-05:00John Anderson was also in the 80's tv mini-ser...John Anderson was also in the 80's tv mini-series "North & South" with Patrick Swayze. <br /><br />I've noticed that who can see Al is pretty much dependent on the plot.
