This episode was so well-written and well-acted it holds up splendidly to this very day.
James Whitmore is Handy Random, who in spite of his clownish, droll air and comical mule, carries such an aura of sociopathic, pure evil hovering around him he is positively chillling. He has no morals or loyalties and no empathy for anyone and is willing to kill anyone if the price is right.
Royal Dano gives his usual excellent performance, here as the rigid yet upstanding patriarch Craddock, and watching this makes me nostalgic for the days of memorable and wonderful character actors.
The end of this episode was very tense and wonderfully filmed. I love this whole series, but this episode truly stands out so well it really could have been made into a TV movie.
