The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (TV Series) No Man's Land (1993) User Reviews

No shortage of womenfolk

[Mr-Fusion · 7/10 · 10 May 2016]

Brisco's nursing a head wound (in a settlement without men, at that) while staring down the barrels of the Swill brothers. This episode always makes me think of the 'Heart of Gold' episode of "Firefly" (but much lighter). It's the sort of place which Brisco and Bowler roll into, save the day, and are gone by nightfall. And we've seen this kind of woman-run town plot line on TV before, but it always puts a nice spin on things. There's (kind of) a plot twist here that picks up the John Bly thread, but it's mostly just our bounty hunters and their spirited heroics.

And also a rocket car and a tank. There's always a hitch.

7/10

Unique and clever.

*Spoiler/plot- No Man's Land, Eps 4,TV air date 9/10/93. Brisco's group discovers a ALL female town in the West while following lead about the Swill Brothers, part of Blye's gang. They find an armored vehicle.

*Special Stars- Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry, Christian Clemenson, John Astin, Kelly Rutherford, Denise Crosby.

*Theme- Logical thinking and deduction can help criminal investigations.

*Trivia/location/goofs- The town scenes were in the old Warner Brother's Laredo western Street on the studio back lot. That has been demolished and rebuilt as office space for rentals.

*Emotion- The town leadership are female and present a different issue to our intrepid heroes. For Professor Wickwire, there's some sexual tension in this episode with the town beautiful German weight-lifter female metal smiths. An exceptional episode with clever sci-fi or fantasy plot

elements, and as such the plot seemed very engaging and exciting. plenty enough surprise, action, comedy or drama. Unique and clever western fare.

*Based on- The producers and writers wanted to recreate the entertainment of the 30s-50s theatrical cliff-hanger film serials. Most were westerns or sci-fi. They succeeded.
