"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary
S9 E28 - "Bently"

This is the episode in which Chester makes his final appearance.

The episode is titled "Bentley" on the DVD titles list.

3:08 oh wow, what a bunch of assholes.

4:54 look at these two with their uppity fucking carriage, what a couple of stiffs. I hope they get theirs! No way they're not going to... they didn't show us two of the most hoity toity Dodge City fuckers we've ever seen on this show for no reason.

6:20 there's no way this guy is a killer... yeah maybe he had to do it out of self-defense or something but he's not the murderer type.

8:50 damn right, lady... scary shit for sure.

9:38 she needs to sell that place and get the hell outta Dodge.

11:32 well I didn't expect THIS out of THEM!

12:12 you know, they keep mentioning Salina, Kansas on this show... I thought I'd been there, I remember making note of the name. So I looked it up, and sure enough I stopped at this Subway and had a righteous sammich on my way to Dodge City... https://restaurants.subway.com/united-st...e-crawford I even remember filming a vlog in the parking lot... https://i.imgur.com/h4qHYAP.png

This whole memory of Salina sent me down a rabbit hole and I ended up finding footage of myself on the train parked outside Dodge City's Boot Hill Museum in 2019. It's a clip where the wind is blowing fierce and then someone on Wyatt Earp Blvd. passes by in their car with the windows down BLASTING "My Best Friend's Girl" by The Cars (my favorite band of all time)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-dfrHkaXuE "Here she comes again."

It's always been my universal synchronistic cue when I'm somewhere in public and I hear ANY Cars song playing. I recognized the magic in the moment, but looking back... it's packed with even more meaning than I could have known at the time. The point of the story is to follow your soul's yearnings, whether they make logical sense at the time or not... when you get to where you were guided, there will be proof that you're doing the right thing.

21:40 I guess I misjudged these uppity fuckers.

22:08 damn Chester sure is handsome. Dennis Weaver went on to act in quite a few other roles in TV and movies.

23:20 there's nothing rude about storing the stuff in the barn... it is what it is.

24:00 she doesn't seem 100% convinced about her husband like this other lady is, lol.

25:00 dude OMG, what if HE DID IT!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

27:40 how the hell are they just willy nilly contracting a killing in the living room like this?! Anyone could walk in or especially overhear.

31:40 so here we've got the ol' flip-around. Now this lady is going to be seeing things through the "I never knew my husband" lens instead.

33:10 there's no way they're not gonna send Chester out on a strong note. I wonder how it'll end.

35:00 wow, that guy has one damn brilliant hustle going on. Props. For real for real.

37:37 was it really necessary to make Doc and Kitty just plain dumb as shit sometimes?? I feel like it wasn't necessary.

39:47 man, what a nightmare. This lady's life though. I didn't figure this would be how their story played out.
