Amazingly this one is currently rated at 7.4 when it was one of the most enjoyable of the whole series. 'Wild Horses' is filled with lots of classic scenes and events most notably the 'Whatever happens ,happens' scene. Along with that it has a really interesting and clever plot with some really funny characters. Doohan is such a cool character!

Warning: Spoilers
This episode of Cowboy Bebop is mainly about Spike's ship Swordfish, and you can feel the concept of spaceships. It is the one that includes far more spaceship scenes/battles than any other so far. A quick summary: Spike runs out of gas not far from the garage. Meanwhile, Jet and Faye take on a group of pirates who use computer viruses to terrorize shipping.
I think this episode focuses on the action rather than the characters. That is not a bad thing. Not every episode needs character development or character-based drama, but making an action-focused episode won't give you an excuse for empty characters. Luckily, Cowboy Bebop never misses with writing characters. Even side characters are amazingly entertaining and yet realistic. I especially enjoyed the old pilot: Doohan. The art style is stunning and unique. The voice acting isn't a factor that I know enough to criticize, but I can say that it doesn't sound out of place.
