Was "Wake the Dead" the resurrected Grundy episode? I have it on tape but need to rewatch it, was doing other stuff while it was on. We'll talk later on that one, Truth. ;-)
Honestly I would have preferred The Whip to El Diablo, and thought it was the Whip at first. Bat Lash and jonah Hex were both dead on. I think Pow-Wow Smith was updated in a PC way though, not that that's a bad thing.
I watched the episode with my wife Jenn and she wasn't familiar with DC's Old West Universe either, other than Hex - who she only knew from that animated Batman episode and the future version. We actually had a great discussion afterwards about the Western heroes and sat and read some old books. Nice cozy way to spend a Saturday night.
Jenn's not a comics reader by any measure by the way, she reads a few she likes and knows the terrain enough to keep up with me, but it's always cool to be able to share this stuff. So on a personal level, this was a great episode. :-)
