Heal Thyself
mitchrmp3 February 2015
I'm always excited to see an episode of any show with Ed Nelson in it, but this one was a bit too much for me. Ed Nelson played some sort of new age preacher who pretended he could heal people. This reminds me of a Little House on the Prairie episode, only this one wasn't nearly as dramatic.

I thought this episode was fairly good up until the end, the episode was over the top in the way it ended. I can't give details without giving things behind, but when Garth exits's the scene, that's where the episode should have ended...realistically.

Anyways, this was not one of my favorite episodes, but it was entertaining in some places. I kind of wish things had turned out differently for Garth, but well...there you have it!

Patricia Breslin fantastic and beautiful guest star in this one and about God and Bible scientific accuracy

Warning: Spoilers
This plot has a friend of the Cartwrights (played by Breslin) in an accident with Hoss and her father. Her father dies and she is crippled and the doctor examining her cannot find any reason why. In comes a visiting-Virginia City faith healer (Ed Nelson) with whom Breslin falls in love. Breslin's great beauty single-handedly makes this ep work better than it would have otherwise.

Now on to another point. To many this story is not that good being about faith. But the Bible is something true to believe for it has not only written proven miraculous history but incredible scientific accuracy as well. Like the following facts:

1. Jet streams 2. Round Earth hanging on nothing 3. The head causing the body to grow (in skull is the pituitary gland) 4. Man from soil 5. Hydrologic cycle Much more.
