West of Mexico
paulbrasch4 May 2008
Even though Arte Gordon manages an appearance in this episode I found this show a little by-the-numbers for my liking.

The series falls into humdrum with this script and one has to wonder whether the injuries to Conrad and Martin and the changing co-stars were having a negative effect at this stage.

The story as it stands has a bunch of thugs dressing up as Conquistadors and threatening a village in Mexico with a fake volcano.

The normally excellent Thayer David plays the fake God Cortez and even he looks like he was going through the motions.

It's nice to see Arte back in action and the volcano machine looks fantastic but one hopes that this wouldn't begin a down hill run for the rest of the series.

Conquered Conquistodors

This episode is one of the more mundane efforts of the series. The script is pretty lame to start with. The fake Volcano & the results of the plot are way too predictable.

The other part is some budget cuts that really show here. There is a fight sequence where the editors cutting is poor as it basically shows West throwing a guy into the TV camera & wiping out the camera. It just looks shoddy.

The main reason to watch this one is because it is a part of the series. this is an episode to avoid unless your desperate for a West fix & have nothing else to watch.
