    Ok if you have ever seen Bonanza it will not be a big surprise that Colonel Bragg is the cause for all the troubles of the Carthwrights. If I were Ben I wouldn't invite old friends all the time to the Ponderosa. Again after Day of the Dragon there is a good mix of humour and sinister violent scenes. For a Bonanza Episode Colonel Bragg (John McGiver) as former Military companion of Ben is a more complex character as usually. John McGiver makes a perfect switch between a funny eccentric to a sinister baddy. Also it was fun to see Hoss as a sort of Womanizer. The plot might not be new but the episode is quite entertaining.moreless

    • Adam: Now look Hop Sing, it's just not a privilege. You see the horse the Colonel fell from when he busted his leg was one Pa sold him. Now that makes it an obligation. Hop Sing: Hop Sing – obligation? Adam: Well you're one of the family aren't you? Just like me, Hoss and Little Joe. Hop Sing: You too smart for me Mr. Adam. You say I one of the family, I cannot go. I stay. Edit
