It, doesn't as far as I know, have mountains like the Sierra Madres, which I'd bet a dollar those mountains were.

I found Wes's behavior closer to Dark Wesley than you did, I think. On the other hand, I agree completely on the Riley/Fred comparison, and the overweepiness of Wes. Thanks to Mike, I've now see all of last week's episode and the Mary Sue-ing of Fred in that ep's first half was pretty nauseating.

One minor detail that bugged me: couldn't they cast an actor and an actress who looked at least a little like Amy Acker? One of my pet peeves in movies and TV shows is when immediate family members bear no resemblance to one another (a.k.a., "The Bonanza Syndrome").

My one real complaint about last night's episode was Wesley's decision to help Dead Fred. Although Alexis sold me on the moment itself, isolated from the history of the character and the show, I didn't buy it at all when considered in that larger context.

They're going to have serious problems if this plot line depends on Amy Acker's acting ability to sell it, because in that regard she does not rise to the heights of even a lowly Texas foothill as compared to the lofty Sierra Mountain range that will, I suspect, be needed.

She doesn't have mountains either. Just hills.

Good casting!

And totally agree on the one big complaint. I didn't see how they got to point b from point a.
