Horse POV: Your rider has turned into a werewolf

Thinking about how Brutha carries Vorbis across the desert, because maybe he's a dangerous enemy but of course it's the right thing to do.

And in most stories this might lead to conciliation, realising the value of compassion, bridging gaps...

In fact, I'll digress for a moment and mention the Bonanza episode The Stranger, which inspired this post.

In that episode, the character Ben is travelling as the prisoner of a man who hates and intends to kill him.

But when their horses and supplies are stolen in an ambush en route, Ben helps his physically weaker enemy through the desert, eventually carrying him by the time they reach safety.

And the antagonist has this closing speech about how the hate is gone now, and he can't imagine killing Ben anymore.

In Small Gods, though, that's not what happens - they get home, Vorbis exactly returns to his former pitiless calculating self, and it seems fairly simple that Brutha could have saved many people a lot of trouble by letting him die.

I'm not sure how to analyse Pratchett's reasons for making this choice or whether it was necessarily the right thing to do, but it's a fascinating decision to make in a story exploring morality and human nature.

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "The Honor of Cochise," episode 3 of the third season of Bonanza (original air date Oct 8, 1961).

Kelley plays Captain Moss Johnson, an Army officer who stumbles into the Cartwrights' camp claiming to be the sole survivor of a battle with the Apache. The Apache catch up with him, take Adam Cartwright prisoner, and demand Johnson be turned over in exchange for his release. When Ben Cartwright goes to parley with Cochise, the Apache leader, he is told that Johnson killed an entire Apache settlement - including women and children - with a "peace offering" of poisoned food.

Johnson claims he was following orders, but when his commanding officer arrives he is placed under arrest, which satisfies Cochise. The Army will neither confirm nor deny Johnson's claim, and we're left to wonder what the whole truth is.

Adam Cartwright! My favorite man in black. Been working on these for quite a bit, I want to draw the whole Bonanza cast but I thought I'd start by studying their faces, beginning with my favorite. Pernell Roberts portrayed Adam with such nuance and depth, he was just magnetic. Also he was crazy attractive, so there's that too.

More from the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars: DeForest Kelley in "The Decision," episode 12 of the second season of BONANZA (original air date December 16, 1962).

Kelley plays gruff, wisecracking Dr. Jons (typecasting!), the only doctor in a remote trail town, who's been falsely convicted of murder after accidentally killing a man in self-defense. The deceased had been threatening Mrs. Jons, and although there was eyewitness testimony to the accidental death, both the judge and sheriff had personal grudges with the doctor. (The judge's wife had died on the operating table after he delayed getting treatment for her until it was too late, and the sheriff was left with a limp after a broken leg.) Ben Cartwright arranges for a temporary parole so he can treat a gravely injured Hoss, and then persuades the judge to reconsider and overturn the conviction.

When Ben first meets Jons, he asks if he's the doctor, and Jons replies, "Not a doctor, a condemned murderer." It's the old switcheroo!
