Incident at Alabaster Plain


Did anyone else find the ending somewhat ambiguous? I loved how the climax, but it wasn't clear to me Buzz wasn't killed. On the one hand, it seems like a guy who's such a vicious and practiced killer wouldn't have any problem killing someone when he's shooting at his back. On the other hand, it seems kind of harsh that you'd have an innocent womann's father killed by her stepbrother on her wedding day and then have the stepbrother kill her husband the following day.

I really enjoyed the composition of some of Richard Whorf's shots in this episode, especially the medium shots of the wedding party just outside the church after the wedding and the shootout outside the church in the climax.
