This episode has a bit of everything
There's some good comedy in this one (thanks to Doug and the gang of drovers), and I also found it interesting watching the drive in action (as well as the "bright lights" of 1890s Moosejaw). The other cowboys hired to drive the cattle are not merely plot devices, but interesting characters whose personalities shine through.
Drury is effective as the no-nonsense ramrod, but James Gregory's Slim reminds him of his humanity, too. Brandon deWilde (as James/Mike) does a good job in his role as a lost teen, and there's good chemistry between Slim and Mike; I found their relationship touching, and it echoes the father/son conflicts in the first few years of the series. Gregory was in fine form as a father figure here.
The episode ends in a hurry--and in a fairly predictable way--but overall, I really liked this one, and have watched it many times.

Silly episode, but a good vehicle for the characters Trampas, Steve, and The Virginia. Interesting piece of American history we don't hear much about any longer, and TR is always worth watching or reading about.
Plenty of suspense in this episode as the Virginian has to go undercover. Robert Lansing is excellent as the cold-blooded leader of an outlaw gang, and several other typical Virginian guests appear in memorable roles. Well-acted and well-written and an explanation of Molly Wood's disappearance from the show (which happened in Season One).
