Beginning Text must be destroyed!!

...the Walton family got kind of anal about me not owning Wal-Mart or any of its subsidiary chainstores or products. It really threw me for a loop, because they were so nice when they had their own TV show.

Good Thing: I have forgotten 95% of what happened during this episode. As I recall, Wade is trying to figure out why Rembrandt is in love with her when Charlie O'Connell (who plays a cop named O'Hara) comes up to her and says "Forget it, Wade. It's Dragontown."

Bad Thing: The title. "Dragon Slide". It just sort of sits there. There's no pun. There's no literary allusion. Peckinpah didn't even try to be clever. Is a little bit of effort with the title too much to ask?? Apparently so. Oh yeah, and in case you were still unclear on this...the episode sucked big time.
