This is a wonderful example of Father son relationships, I love it when Big Hoss said what we can't say, and then said we love you pa, and Ben's left eye twitched a few times, and a father's a fool. The best Bonanza episode I've seen thus far. What people don't understand is how important father son's relationships are.

Love goes far deeper then skin color ever will, because on the inside we are all the same. This episode is such an amazing picture of love, that I just can't get over, no matter how many times I watch it. the only good way to describe what Emeliano did for Joe is what a father would do for his son.

What made john Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Terrance hill, Fonda and all other western movies actors more famous than the bonanza actors? To me these actors playing the role of the Cartright characters are world famous western heroes.

[@tgriffin3059]

Being part of an ensemble makes it less likely that any one man will stand out far above the others. But John Wayne and Clint Eastwood are arguably the two biggest stars in history, so that's a pretty high standard. Personally, I'd still take James Arness over any cinematic cowboy that ever existed.

America needs more movies, TV series, with Family and friendship , love , morals , instead of VIOLENCE, blood and guts horror movies. There are always gonna be bad people, but love always comes out ahead. BONANZA WAS THE BEST BACK WHEN AND RERUNS ARE THR BEST TODAY. ACTORS WERE A NATURAL, ALL TALENT. KNOWING ITS MOVIE, STILL BRINGS TEARS , FEELING THE LOVE . BONANZA EPISODES ALWAYS TOUCH THE HEART, THE CORE OF WHO WE ARE.

[@jessiesungmanitou9369]

Heartbreaking to see not only Emiliano passing, but this marvellos horse giving his life too, and Joe suffering the loss of both. It not only shows the loyalty among those guys, but of animals giving everything for the humans they´re attached to and vice versa. One of my favorite episodes, though very sad.💔🐎

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Well said ❤️💔 I love how Little Joe used his last bullet to save the horse from a long, painful death, even though he knew he was still being chased, and might have needed it for his own defense. I'd give anything for the animals I love too, they've given me so much love and loyalty ❤️❤️❤️

Well, when working with unpredictable animals, you kinda have to go with what you can get. The producers and director probably saw that getting that horse to rear up again was probably a little too much of a long shot, so they just went with what they *were* able to get.

[@ashiengher131]

This is a great episode. The love of sons and father. The deep felt desire of Emiliano for a son of his own and his reverence for Joe's love for his father makes the later tragedy all the more meaningful. BUT...in Hollywood, couldn't they find any Mexican actors? Why are they turning to Martin Landau? It seemed he thought Mexicans are super excitable, dramatic, and overly emotional. I still like this episode..but one more criticism....why not use a blood squib when Emiliano gets shot? Even if he had a ketchup packet to squeeze, it would be better than clutching at a gunshot wound that has no blood. Grrrr

[@GrjngoWesternSeries]

Actually, it’s not really necessary to see a lot of blood and gore like they do in today’s movies and shows. There are a lot of Bonanza episodes that show blood but it’s never over the top. The show didn’t need to emphasize the blood but the action carried the story line without outright gore.

[@suegermaine5730]

It is a shame that Pernell Robert’s was a bit full of himself when it came to acting but I also understand how frustrated he was still beholding to his Pa at his age. Pernell left and and of course when they upset Producers directors etc they make it clear to other people in the film industry not to hire him which is why his career folded. Just as producers have shown recently that to get in the film industry you have to do “special favours”. In a interview I saw with David Dortort when he was elderly he regretted letting Pernell leave and said it made sense for at least one of them to marry and live on the Ponderosa. I think Loren Green would have made a great Grandfather and Michael and Dan good uncles. However he chose to leave and personally I didn’t really miss him he was so moody all the time. The only episodes I saw that he looked really happy was The Hayburner which I understand was his favourite comedy. However I loved Bonanza as a child and now at the age of 67 I have re-watched every episode again to pass away the time during Covid lockdown and brought back many happy childhood memories.

[@user-pd7il3xz5j]

I like that they each have diverse personalities. Since the writers kept them as bachelors, their personalities at least offered the viewer to feel an affinity with whomever you liked.

[@misslucky5474]

All of the Cartwrights are loveable, interesting men and Adam was my favorite; level headed, dependable, and capable of discernment....traits of a big brother and a mature person. I like all of that about him and may I add, handsome too. I missed him when he was gone but I understood his reasons for leaving. Grown men ought to have wives or girlfriends, but the the writers/producers for some odd reason didn't want to explore that avenue. Makes no good sense to me. There you have four good hearted, principled, hard working, wealthy, grown men, but not one of them was allowed a long term love interests; just silly.

[@patbiggam8138]

It is what it is. The formula worked. The object of a winner is to stay top of the ratings and attract advertising. Dan Blocker stated in an interview not long before he passed, that none of the stars thought Bonanza would last so long. Unfortunately the aspirations of individual actors are down the list of priorities.

[@killerangel4160]

Pernell did have some success afterwards he was in quite a few episodes of Big valley and Mission impossible. I was sad when he left to but he didn’t seem to mesh all well with the other actors. I don’t know if you’ve seen the big valley but all of those actors meshed well and all had different character personalities. So it depends

[@mickyalberta3484]

I never saw Adam being moody. He was an intelligent, complex and compelling character. Pernell Roberts, to his own chagrin, made Adam immortal.
