It's interesting seeing some of the troupes they supposedly had back in the Old West, like fighting with your gun being more honorable than fighting with your fists. But then again, only the gunmen seemed to carry that philosophy. Probably because they couldn't fight with their hands so the actual "cowards" of that period could easily thrive by power of the gun... all they had to do was be quick at the draw.
Anyway, that's what happens here when a gunmen eager to get his name known is in The Long Branch looking for trouble which leads to a sad scene where 2 nice young well liked siblings end up dead. After that Matt literally beats the courage out of him! I mean we don't get the pleasure of seeing but it affects the jerk in ways he never saw coming.
The episode is more psychological than most and through that the bad guy really get what's coming to him the rest of the story. Solid entry.
