    Sherlock West and his buddy Gordon Watson

    This topic is obviously highly inspired by some Sherlock Holmes adventure schemes - PEARL OF DEATH and SCARLET CLAW- as will be another spisode of W W WEST concerning HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLE - NIGHT OF THE BLEAK ISLAND. Not bad at all, but there is absolutely nothing of western element here. A very good episode of the show, where we can find another Richard Kiel performance without Michael Dunn as Miguelito Loveless, whom we saw both in the first season. There is also some kind of FRANKENSTEIN movies atmosphere: scientist, his giant sidekick as was Boris Karloff, the mad crowd outside; many references to the old Golden Age of Universal studios.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      One of the rare episodes with an abrupt ending, which doesn't show Jim West nor his sidekick Arte.
    • Goofs
      The camera angle meant to show Arte's perspective through the spyglass is inconsistent with hole that he drilled. Also, given the architecture of large houses in the 19th century, he would have had to drill through the floor and the ceiling (large beams in between), but the drill doesn't appear to drill deep enough, nor does the spyglass extend far enough to have gone through floor, ceiling and beam in between.
    • Quotes

      Artemus Gordon: Naomi. "My sweetness". That's what Naomi means in Hebrew, did you know that?

      Naomi Buckley: Really? And what does Artemus mean?

      Jim West: It means "He who wastes little time".
