Brad Dourif as the Doctor, Jeffrey Jones as the newspaperman, and the guy who playes E.B. (can't remember his name, but he was also the sort of kind-hearted scientist in Blade Runner, as well) do good jobs in more minor roles. Really, the only characters I
didn't like were Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane, and they're both long gone from the show.
Can't wait for Sunday!
