Maybe among the less good.

I don't say that's the worst, far from that - after all, can we name one worst episode in the amazing TV show? No, of course - but certainly not the best. It begins in the most interesting and delightful way, with all these characters stood still....But the following is classical, normal, a simple western scheme with a kind of sci-fi element; that's all folks. It could have been far better with such a primal idea.

Trivia
The Fort used in this episode was also the Star Fleet installation that had been attacked by the Gorn in the Star Trek episode - 'Arena !'

Goofs
At the very beginning as Jim and Artemus ride into town there are modern tyre marks in the dusty ground.

Quotes
Artemus Gordon: [Artie and West enter a saloon where everyone is frozen solid like statues] I've heard of people being stoned, but this is ridiculous.
