No Charge for the Sage Advice, 22 July 2007
Author: dougdoepke from Claremont, USA

Rather surprising incident begins this well-acted and well-executed entry. Doc sets out to help sick man but encounters trouble along the way. As an impartial upholder of the law, Matt gets accused of favoritism towards his friend Doc as a result, for which he is in fact guilty. But is his partiality based on friendship or on the strength of character that Doc definitely possesses. This 30 minutes is a reminder of just what fine actors Stone, Arness and Weaver are. Their chemistry here is simply superb. The wind-up packs considerable punch, though the mood music is a bit much-- the emotions don't need underscoring. Jack Lord is featured in an early dual role and acquits himself well, though I kept expecting him to say,"Book 'em, Dano."
