This happened plenty often in the history of the American West, with the same thing happening to indigenous tribes as they passed by. Watching the Pykes take potshots at the Tuskens from the train was reminiscent of a scene in Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man," where people just lean outside a train to shoot buffalo. The train-heist itself is a classic western trope, but it's never been told quite so blatantly from the indigenous perspective. Steph Green manages to get better performances from the cast in this episode, and also gets a better action set-piece in the form of the train heist. ![]() ![]() This episode is almost twice as long as last week's and offered so much more that we can sink our teeth into, while at the same time managing to move the story forward very little.
