[QUOTE="LMLDallas78, post: 377841, member: 55682"] You raise some really interesting points. I've got to say I really enjoyed the episode because I adored Garrison straight away. Of course it was a stand alone episode and I don't believe he was mentioned again and obviously he came "home" to die which we never saw. I was left slightly disappointed that Miss Ellie's brother only made one appearance and although I was young at the time it aired, it did leave so many unanswered questions. I too found it strange that Miss Ellie just assumed her brother had died and this pointed towards them not being particularly close in later years, although she named Gary after him of course. It would have been great to see Garrison in a few more episodes and have a better build up to his arrival. If there was a threat to the Ewing fortune you can guarantee JR would be suspicious. As I said I did enjoy the episode even if it was a little house on the prairie-ish and I used my own imagination to tie up some of those loose ends. It still had one of the funniest delivered one liners from Jock, "He's been away for over 40 years and all he talks about is Digger Barnes". [/QUOTE]
