Anyone else pick up echoes of Slim Pickens' death scene in 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' in the last scene of this episode? It came to mind when I was watching, and re-watching it now it does seem (at least superficially) similar, i.e. dramatic last moments of wizened former law man sitting near a river, dying of a…
