Watcher Texas Ranger

CD gets the Ranger Hall of Fame treatment while the one case he never closed comes back swinging. The Hangman returns after 11 years of silence, hanging young women from bridges and personally taunting CD over the phone. Chuck mostly watches from the sidelines, Alex is nowhere to be found, and the body count is basically a rounding error. We break down the photographer-killer with the psycho eyes,...

Walker goes full rescue-mode in “Miracle at Middle Creek” when a desperate dad’s botched bank job leads to his kid vanishing down a 40-foot drainpipe with no grate on top. While the family lives out of a brand-new station wagon and Harlan tries to collect two hundred bucks from the charmingly named Kyle Gantz, CD runs into an old flame, a new DA starts swinging, and the whole town shows up with ca...

Chuck Norris is reading a book by Chuck Norris while two rival crews of bad guys try to jack the same truck, and the Texas Rangers decide the best solution is to call Russia for backup. A mild-mannered Russian cop shows up obsessed with Dirty Harry, the body count starts low and stays weird, and somehow it all leads to a strip club that looks like a Northwoods pizza joint, a country bar drinking c...

Walker, Trivette, CD, and Alex head to Sawtooth Lodge for a quiet fishing weekend on a lake big enough to argue about. Drug dealers land a seaplane full of clear totes, Bobby the brand-new park ranger decides one bolt-action rifle is plenty, and Alex ends up in a Bronco trying to get a wounded man back to the cabin. Power gets cut, the phone line gets shot, and the bad guys try to burn the place d...

Deadline is the one where the Texas legislature floats disbanding the Rangers to save a few bucks, right as Robert Englund (yes, Freddy) and his crew gas a jewelry store, scoop diamonds out of a pile of broken glass, and then decide kidnapping a senator’s daughter is easier money. Walker skips the hearing, drives around until he finds the crime, and the rest of the hour is heel shots, a mugshot pr...

Walker wakes up in a tux, bleeding, and has no idea what episode he’s in. Season 4, Episode 21 — Blackout — is the clip-show / amnesia / undercover / New Year’s Eve episode that forgot it was April. Walker can’t remember his name, his cover, or why a helicopter is trying to turn a Cuda into confetti, so the show just replays old fights, old kisses, and that one time he juggled a man with his feet....

Jimmy Trivette finally gets the spotlight — and a tabloid TV crew that treats a stakeout like a hostage situation. Walker gets the mayor’s nephew and, as usual, crime just walks up to the truck. Eddie Paradise is on the Most Wanted list. The reporter wants “real journalism.” The camera lady is the actual MVP. Cowboy Jack’s makes a cameo. There’s a Trans Am, reused helicopter footage, a dirt bike t...

Walker, Texas Ranger – The Avenger (Season 4, Episode 19) Walker teams with the FBI to bust an arms dealer. The guy in charge dies mid-hostage situation and uses his last breath to name-check a brother. That brother is Caleb Hooks (Michael Parks), a Vietnam-era mercenary trainer who takes the news about as well as you’d expect: he flies a newspaper in by helicopter, steals Walker out of his own li...

Walker, Texas Ranger – El Coyote (two-parter as one) Chuck Norris dyes his hair and beard black, slaps on a handkerchief, and goes undercover as Gomez from Guadalajara to bust a slave-trading ring. Jesse Rodriguez is back. Jimmy Trivett walks into a hotel room like he owns the place. And Walker lasts about five minutes before he starts trying to blow his own cover. This is the most undercover Walk...

Alex’s battered-women support group heads to the lake for a peaceful getaway. The abusive husband they just put in jail finds out where they are. What could go wrong? This week James, Clint, and Ryan Mueller (in the official Chuck shirt) tear through Walker, Texas Ranger Season 4’s “The Juggernaut.” We get a bar fight that starts because a guy said “howdy,” a trailer-park 911 call that never ends,...

LaRue is back, and he’s somehow even slimier than last time. Fresh off a technicality release that makes zero sense, the long-haired (wait, now Clooney-haired?) psycho shows up at Alex’s fancy dinner with a dead rat, starts stalking her like it’s a full-time job, and turns Walker’s ranch into a pure nightmare of lead pipes, scorpions, and “this is too easy” plot holes. James, Clint, Bob, and Matti...

Walker goes undercover in a maximum-security prison as “the Ice Man” (the world’s worst hitman with the most recognizable face in Texas) after a protected witness and a couple of Rangers get smoked. Trivette tags along as a brand-new prison guard, the sets look suspiciously like a parking structure and plywood, there’s a tornado, a chaplain who’s better at documenting crime than saving souls, and...

Walker’s got Irish assassins, peace treaties in Fort Worth, and a body count climbing faster than the accents can get worse. Chuck makes out with a honey pot, Trivett finally gets to be a badass, and somebody’s couch is apparently bulletproof. We’re scene-by-scene-ing Flashpoint — the one with the exploding news van, the rocket-launcher ambush, the priest with a secret, and the absolute chaos of t...

Season 4, Episode 12: “Rodeo.” Walker’s still fighting crime while we’re on the couch unleashing quips… and a whole lot of frustration.

Cue the full rodeo circus: barrel r...

Season 4, Episode 11: “The Covenant.” Walker’s on a crime-fighting tear while we’re on the couch unleashing quips. A local gang is shaking down businesses and starting turf wars—no vampires, no witches, just Vatos Locos rolling up on CD’s bar with bad timing and worse ideas. CD handles it the only way he knows how (shotgun first, situational awareness never), and things escalate fast. Meanwhile Ch...
