Little House on the Prairie: The Aftermath (1977)
Missed opportunity
This had the makings of a classic and exciting episode. However, there were some misfires. First, was Mary's interaction with the criminals. Why would Pa and Ma allow there precious 15 year old daughter to spend alone time with two male strangers. Charles mentions that they "seem like nice guys" He literally just met them. Once finding out they were the focus of the bounty hunt, he seeme very relaxed. He would have been fit to be tied to know that his daughter was in their presence for the past week. With his new knowledge, he simply tells Mary to stay away. Still not emphasizing the potential danger. Mary does not listen, and return to see them. Overall, good idea. However, the plot really seems to relaxed to match the danger.
Fun Facts: Laura takes a back seat in this episode. Nice to see Mary in the forefront. Also, the some interesting references to the Civil War.
Little House on the Prairie: The Wisdom of Solomon (1977)
Watcha Talking About Solomon
One of the better season 3 episodes! Todd Bridges does a fantastic job portraying Solomon! Most of the storyline is consistent to views towards African American at that time. I thought the opening sequence with Solomon's family was a little rushed. Not sure why his mother was so willing to let him runaway. Im glad that his brother eventually found him!
My favorite part was when Solomon reveals the sign "God Bless This School". Very Heartwarming moment!
Fun Fact- Runway Solomon was foreshadowing for Albert in later seasons. Charles Ingalls seemed to long for a son, and Solomon filled that void.
