The Scream of Eagles

After enjoying the previous episodes of the series, the last epsode is basically a recap of the series, with a 1970s pro environmentalist message. It was very dissapointing.

It basically contains Andy Griffith playing a college professor to write some type of history of Centennial and he is told the long history of the area from Paaqunel and McKee to the present day in a 2 hour recap. Robert Vaughn plays a decentend of the Wendells and acts id a slimy manner and offers to share his history with Griffith, but never does. David Janssen is the current owner of the. Venneford Ranch and does basically most of the recapping of the story

In addition many threads in the series are left unresolved. The St Louis family Mercy? Bockweiss dissapears from the saga after the Civil War segment and once Levi Zent passes the story shifts to the Wendells and the Lloyds, with nothing about what happened to the Zent familyll

At the end there is some type of election that Janssen talks how things were in the past and how they should protect the land, while Wendell wante to bring jobs and industry to the state... Not a very satisfactory ending at all and Merle Haggard throws in a song in the cantina where Griffth and Janssen hang out at the end as the election returns come in .
