With its time travel element, there are many ways this story could have been elaborated, but the tale is kept simple. Dean, with his time travel helmet, could have flipped back into the same time pocket to right a wrong (while reliving sexual encounters over and over each time). He could have replayed time to warn others of the coming robbery, or replayed it to heroically shoot the outlaw. The barkeep could have been shot, with Dean replaying to save him. Dean could get shot or, having disrupted time and dispelled the robbery from happening, get arrested and jailed for crying wolf, so to speak. In the end, his helmet (which he left on the saloon porch) could be kicked and damaged by the saloon patronage fleeing the gunman's shootout, then in trying to return to present day Beverly Hills, an electrical short suspends him in time, forever to stand smiling, leaving the barkeep to dress him as a cigar store Indian, stationed out front as a protective good luck charm for the saloon. There are simply lots of untried ways to play with this simple story and create many alternative segments. As is, its okay.
