Oh, that was waaaay too easy. You don’t cripple a guy’s hand, and he just says hoohah! Let’s have a drink! But, it’s a nice Hollywood story.
Well he was a good guy before, and his hand will heal. It woke him up. Could it have happened? Sure IMO.
GS has a lot of endings that “just are”. Maybe this episode isn’t the best example but some have almost no third act/conclusion. It’s a statement of how the West was. At first I found this annoying, now I’ve come to “get it” and think a little on it.
GS really is one of the best OTR programs.
