Season Two |
Season One Directory |
SEASON NOTES: Season One, especially the first half, is critical to the rest of the series because it sets up all the character profiles and relationships. The first three episodes introduce all the characters and something of their backgrounds. All the main horses are also established with their riders in the first season. Some character adjustments are made during the first season - John's character becomes less cold and demanding, Blue is not quite so juvenile, Manolito, who is originally partnered with Blue, becomes paired more with Buck. By the end of the first season John and Victoria's marriage has developed from a stiff and formal arrangement to one of deep affection and passion.
Episodes are listed here in the order most likely to offer the best series continuity when viewed in order.
