I won't summarize the plot of this 1966 episode of "The Virginian" as it can be found elsewhere. Some slight confusion over where this fits in the series' chronology. Randy comments to his pal Georgie Sam that Shiloh Ranch has been taken over by Morgan Starr, replacing former owner Judge Garth. The opening credits show the original inclusion of Lee J. Cobb as Garth. Upon his departure from the show, John Dehner took over as new owner Morgan Starr; however, as mentioned, Cobb still is shown in the opening credits of this episode. I remember the "The Virginian" with Dehner but don't recall if a new intro showed him instead of Cobb. Seems unlikely NBC would've kept showing Cobb in the intro after he left the series. So I'd need to research that. Anyway, the episode is fairly involving, more so than the other reviewers so far have indicated. There perhaps were some slow moments with people just staring at one another, usually done to heighten interpersonal drama, I believe, but this technique wasn't fatal. The episode maintains tension and uncertainty, the finale being especially suspenseful. The credits refer to Peggy Lipton as being "introduced" but I don't know if this literally was her first major appearance on TV or if she was given special promotion as a boost to her future career. She's seen to good advantage, young and quite beautiful. Her acting is subdued but effective, mainly in her romantic scenes with Randy, which are touchingly portrayed, especially at the conclusion. Boone himself, competent throughout the series, is pretty solid in his acting here, far-removed from his usual haunts back in Medicine Bow, with none of the usual cast present. Michael J. Pollard plays his usual simpleton-self, possibly one of the oddest, though still likeable and sympathetic, actors to emerge during that era. I've never been able to account for him. I found "Wolves", then, to be involving enough despite a relatively slight plot, which is helped by some skillful suspense and disagreeable bad guys toward the latter portion, the viewer not knowing how things are going to play out. Overall well-written with good dialogue, helped throughout by the easy-on-the-eyes presence of Miss Lipton.
