Father and Son?

We don't know who Scott's father is... he's a son of a bitch, literally :)
Than... aging stranger arrives, and he seems sooo friendly and nice with the boy. Why? He teaches him all... buys him gun...
If he had nothing to do with the boy, why? I think perhaps he's his real father, but he doesn't want to say it to Scott. (How would it be, before the final duel: "Scott, I'm your father.. we together can defeat the Emperor... uh, sorry, this is not that movie...") :)
Also he could be the father... and never said it. It's much more shocking when we see the end of the movie... :'( Poor Lee.

Talby took Scott because he needed someone to do the shooting for him.

Exactly. Talby was definitely a father figure to Scott Mary, but he was using him - Murph was right about that. He doesn't need to be a biological father. He seduced Scott with the allure of power and respect. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed a rather obvious parallel to Star Wars. The guided transition of Scott from menial laborer to gunfighter seems like it may have had some influence on Lucas's prequels.

Theres something missing in the film, some development perhaps. If LVC is..... well, a bad guy, there should be something about him that the viewer should dislike, and the other fella, Scott's uncle or whoever he was, what did he ever do for him, where was he when people treated Scott like *beep* and in the end he kills LVC? probably the best thing that ever happened to him. The ending should have been something like The Big Gundown, belive me this film would have been a damn classic, or if LVC WAS his actual father and told him that right before he died, that could have worked as well.

You should dislike Talby because he murdered the bar owner and the new sheriff (aka the stable man) in cold blood.

This movie is much better than The Big Gundown.

Actually Murph was infringing on his and the whole town's constitutional right to bear a firearm.

We should, maybe but we don't. Shooting Murph crossed a line, sure, but the bar owner? He was a dick and got what was coming to him. Hell with that guy.

Yes, but the way he kills him - he tricks him to get his saloon and then burns him? Not a hero fashion. Nothing honourable there.
