Legend - Knee High Noon
Legend
Knee-High Noon
Cattle rustlers are becoming a nuisance and Legend is tasked to capture them but gets distracted when a woman (Laura Davenport) comes into town seemingly a fan of both Legend and Ernest with a small favour to ask and which she will be very grateful if it could be granted. As it turns out her son (Ben) is living his life in the footsteps of Legend and needs a talking to, her husband having passed and thus Ernest gives him some sage advice, gets his photo taken and returns to the matter of the missing cattle.
Naturally Laura ( Mary-Margaret Humes ) is not quite on the level, it turns out that she has an agreement with the publisher of the Legend novels to add a spin off character namely the son of Legend and young Ben is playing the part. Ernest is not pleased to say the least but is kinda cornered due to pressure from Laura and his publisher so the cattle rustling certainly looks more appealing. The Professor has devised a cow shaped surveillance device and by some miracle they manage to capture one of the rustlers but his brother gets away. Looking to retrieve his brother from custody the kidnapping of Legends son is put into motion and Ernest despite seeing the positives of Laura and Ben being out of the way can do nothing but fly to the rescue…
Knee-High Noon was an amusing episode from the fake cows to the legend that is Legend nearly being brought to its knees by lawyers and contracts. Ernest surely will learn that allowing your creation to legally be in the hands of someone else is not good for creative freedom. A tip of the hat to Mary-Margaret who put in an excellent performance of a character both as clever as any but with a devious dark side and the bad guys where very well played as well. Oh, I really did not like young Ben so credit there as well.
I’ve got some more episodes of Legend to watch so I may be covering them in the short term but as of now I have no Stargate chats in the can so will have to address that as well. In that regard if you want to join me on the podcast then just get in touch and with your chosen live action episode from the franchise we can have a chat for an hour or so and hey that’s all it takes. Reviews/Ratings are always welcome as is simply helping to promote the podcast on social media so until next time stay safe and enjoy Stargate.
