I thought Ambrose was a funny endearing character. He was so eager to be in "the Wild West." For him, these were his happiest days.

I love the way Ambrose 'Bulldog' grew on the gang and eventually became a cowboy. He kind of grows on the audience too, I think.

In the end, he saves his hero, Hickok, which results in a sad ending for him. I found Brolin's acting here at the end a little ott.

This episode was 100 percent about the guest character, played by Fisher Stevens who did a good job in the role. A little nerdy, but endearing. There wasn't any significant story for the main characters. You know, as in being centric about one of them, which is more usual with this show. Yes, Ambrose admires Jimmy, but all the mains were featured pretty equally.

Another example of the corruption of people in authority doing wrong for greedy land grabs of indigenous people's lands. It's not just fiction. This sort of thing is well-documented.

Anyway, an enjoyable one that is mainly light all the way through except for the ending which is indeed sad. 8/10.
