I always enjoy watching "The Mission." What a great performance by Henry Hull and wonderful chemistry he shared with Dan Blocker in this episode.

When Hull as Charlie Trent spits out the coffee Hoss hands to him (he's used to drinking whiskey), Hull cracks up Dan Blocker, and they have to cut to a shot of Dan's back. You can see Dan Blocker chuckling from the back. Additionally, the episode was loaded with a great cast.

Actually, they were shooting Dan's back during the scene when Hull spits out the coffee and had to switch to Dan's front because of his chuckling. Great performance by both Hull and Blocker.

One of my early favs. Great cast. By the time they get to the second water hole, Monk is worried and questions Cutter: "Are you going to poison this one, too? They're liable to get suspicious!" Lane Bradford and Peter Whitney always did a great job in character.

Yes, Lane Bradford and Peter Whitney. What a pair to team up. A stellar performance by Peter Whitney. It is one of my favorite early episodes too, Rick. John Dehner, Harry Carey, Jr., Don Collier...What a cast.

Another reason I like this particular episode is that I feel it is a great representation of Hoss's personal attributes. A man willing to cross a desert and risk his life to help a friend in need.
