Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "The Honor of Cochise," episode 3 of the third season of Bonanza (original air date Oct 8, 1961).

Kelley plays Captain Moss Johnson, an Army officer who stumbles into the Cartwrights' camp claiming to be the sole survivor of a battle with the Apache. The Apache catch up with him, take Adam Cartwright prisoner, and demand Johnson be turned over in exchange for his release. When Ben Cartwright goes to parley with Cochise, the Apache leader, he is told that Johnson killed an entire Apache settlement - including women and children - with a "peace offering" of poisoned food.

Johnson claims he was following orders, but when his commanding officer arrives he is placed under arrest, which satisfies Cochise. The Army will neither confirm nor deny Johnson's claim, and we're left to wonder what the whole truth is.

I mostly drew this to teach myself how to draw a "water" effect. And it was another excuse to keep drawing the Cartwrights. Mission accomplished I guess.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got a confession…Was surprised that I had some lustful reactions while watching a few episodes of Bonanza. (Please don’t judge) Did any of the actors catch your attention from that show?

Definitely…

Growing up, watching re-runs of Bonanza I had thing for Lorne Greene. I also had a thing for Pernell Roberts. But only in his later years when he was on Trapper John, M.D.. And I had a thing for David Canary. Again, later in his career when was on All My Children. It was only in the last 5 to 10 years that I developed a thing for Dan Blocker surprisingly. Also surprising, I NEVER had a thing for Michael Landon. Till this day, I watch re-runs when I get a chance.
