ivyficI am watching through my Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. DVDs. Many of these episodes seem familiar to me, and I can't tell if that's because I'm remembering them from when they aired, fifteen years ago, or if it's because they are just that predictable. I think it's the second. (And I mean predictable in the kindest way--you do not watch a Bruce Campbell anything for the plot.)
I just rewatched an episode that I distinctly remember from the initial run, "Bye Bly." It was the episode that I thought jumped the shark--I always blamed this ep for the cancellation of the series (which I now realize was doomed regardless). Naked time-travelers, futuristic technobabble, the fate of humanity, finding out our black-hat villain is actually from two thousand years in the future, getting the second terrible special effect comic book non-death of a character... Little wonder I thought this ep didn't belong in my anachrotastic Western show.
Now, of course, I watch it and see the slashiest episode of the entire series. By the time you've had two characters both dying in each other's arms, and one of them jeopardizes the timeline to save the other, how can you not expect me to slash them?
