Macready Is The Law
15 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Maybe not the best episode,but it had what I like,good ole George Macready bringing his brand of villainy.For anyone who says he's incapable of any warmth,he was very decent to young Crawford,and not just when he fell off the horse.That we get to see an open shirted Chuck Connors didn't hurt,but I really liked the crazed Judge,even if he was totally wrong.And I see no sign of senility,just grief and indignation of a father who can't see his son was wild and drunk and guilty of what his drunkenness caused him to do.And the fact that now he'd probably do next to no time in prison.The lines Macready delivered when he gunned down his two victims are very powerful because of his unique voice.And that Lucas almost throttled him,come to find out he was saving someone,does atone for his murderous rage.I love this episode because of big,bad Macready!
