I didn't care for this episode. He didn't look creepy to me but I thought it was strange.

In Today's world we have internet stalker's that can be found on craig's list , or even e-bay to prey on poor soles that don't know any better. There was something odd about this guy. But back then you had railroad hobo's that drifted on the rail lines in search of a dream they lost and or never even had to begin with. There's nothing wrong with being a drifter. No work No money , you drift till you find it. You eat bean's from a can just to survive the hunger of a cruel death. Other drifter's that might try to steal what you have , even though it's nothing but a watch and a can opener and a fork.
Mary ellen was young and wanted to try her hand at romance , even though this guy was much to old for her. Yes , girl's ran off and married at age 9 as soon as they reached the female situation for pregnancy. That why so many couples had 15 plus kid's.
The guy that would have killed was Erin/Gabrielle's hostage taker. I'd of bopped him over the head with those paintings of his.

The minstrel guy reminded me of a lesser Woody Guthrie, or Will Geer for that matter. Same timing. I wish they had newsclips of Will traveling around with Woody! To his credit, the minstrel guy was collecting old American songs, presumably to archive them somewhere..... much as did Pete Seeger and others..... I WAS RATHER HOPING SOMEONE KNEW OF ANY PHOTOS, VIDEOS OUT THERE WITH WILL AND WOODY......

I'm having a real difficult time understanding how anyone can perceive the minstral as being weird or a threat. I don't share your reaction - interesting, ain't it? Is he aimless? Definitely.
Now that Portrait guy was off his rocker and not in a good way.
Same thing with that goofy girl who kidnapped Mary Ellen's newborn. Talk about nuts and a threat. The Waltons clan weren't too bright in The Wedding episode.

I don't see you as being too judgemental. Not at all. We just don't share the same perception.
I also don't think that being "judgemental" is a bad thing. On the contrary, making judgements is good. When you learn you've made a poor judgement, apologize and set things right, if need be. Learn your lesson, then move on. But don't stop being judgemental, It's a key basis of sound decision-making and self-confidence.

These back wood's mountain girls were often slow and very uneducated . I don't mean the walton girl's ! My entire family is from kentucky , and my dad's sister's were bare foot and washing clothes all the time. When a person lives their life in the back wood hollar's , You are looked upon as dumb. You have no education , and these young girl's got pregnant by their neighbor's and even by brother's and cousin's and uncles. Thank god that didn't happen in my family. When these uneducated girl's do get pregnant and lose a baby it really messes up their mind and they go searching for something to take it's place , be it another person's baby or even a rag doll. They are mentally slow , but not retarded !!! They just don't know any better. The girl that took John Curtis Wasn't a bad girl at all , she was just needing something to hold and rock and sing song's too > like > In The Pines In The Pines (where the sun never shines and you shiver when the cold wind blow's )

The Minstrel guy wasn't all that bad a lot of men couldn't find work and had to drift to find a meal remember he would sing song for his food. Now that guy from The Violated Son Slater was really bad and John should have done more to him then just push him in the water and run him off. I think the men in the town would have took him out hunting where a bad accident could have happened.

If done well (and I know sometimes it isn't), I don't think there is anything wrong with portraying that fact.

Its interesting that you mention that Portrait episode because in the Robin Williams Patch Adams movie a young woman friend of his was killed by a psycho stalker. Very scary.
