The old west.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers. Observations. Opinions.

So we thought we knew who the Lone Ranger was. In real life, he may have been African American, and on Timeless he is depicted that way.

On early television shows, he is shown to be Caucasian. Rufus is very happy at the good news.

At headquarters, however, Rufus is tremendously hurt because Jiya may be replacing him. Rufus apparently mouthed off too negatively about Rittenhouse, the "benefactor". Ugh.

The show is about Jesse James. He loves Wyatt's modern rifle, and thinks that it is quite awesome. Jesse goes on about his bad life, and as this show is named, is about to meet his end.

Does Robert Ford off him, as in real life? No, it's our dear Lucy. Has she changed history here? The Tonto character says he is African American, Caucasian and Native American. That is diversity. Plus, Grant (his name here) has some good lines. In one, he calls the others "Tontos", meaning "fools" in Spanish.

Is there a hearty hi-o-Silver, away, here? See the show, and find out.

Hope that Rufus' situation comes to a good end.

Could've been great

Could've been great. Rufus, Speaking to the black law man who would become the model for The Lone Ranger: "if you don't tell your story, someone else might... some white dick in a mask might end up the legend instead of you".

Thank you Timeless, for once again ruining what could've been a great episode with liberal racism.
