The miscasting in this episode is epic. An Argentinian and two Italian-Americans playing Native Americans. Ridiculous. Alejandro Rey is gorgeous. Robert Blake's accent is all wrong and comes and goes. The first half of the first season is very different from later episodes: more humor and personal stories of Erskine and his daughter. Poor Stephen Brooks would see his part continue to shrink over time. No wonder he left after two years. He was a talented guy who never could get the roles he deserved. Back to this episode: full of attractive men but not a great story. The failure to cast real Native Americans is evidence of the bias found in Hollywood that exists until today. Hope it continues to improve.
