There has never been a show before or since ever quite like the originalWalker, Texas Ranger.

It’s a cool idea, for sure, but it’s also kinda the worst.

The episode is a fine meditation on how we in the present/future can learn from the past.

Of course,this wasn’t the first time thatWalker, Texas Rangerwent Western.

While that’s exciting and certainly memorable in certain respects, it also feels flat-out ridiculous in others.

In “Standoff,” our hero wore a jetpack to save the day.

In “Brainchild,” there was a kid with telekinesis that felt likesomething out ofThe X-Files.

“Way of the Warrior” falls into this same trap.

But to send Walker himself into the Old West felt like too far a stretch.

So Walker’s journey to the past feels both unnecessary and like a waste of time.

Again, the Western exploits are fun so long as you don’t think too hard about them.

But when you do, you recognize that attention to detail was neverWalker, Texas Ranger’s strong suit.
