I started watching "Outer Range" on Amazon tonight on a whim. I didn't know it existed before today. Watched the first 4 episodes. I went into it blind, thinking it was just a traditional western, but it's science fiction, and it bears quite a bit of resemblance to a short story I wrote several years ago. But that's not what's relevant to the thread. In the fourth episode there's an excerpt from Gunsmoke, and it just hit me very weirdly. One of the secondary characters is watching it, one of the black and white episodes, and weird things start happening around him and he ends up chasing something in the dark.
