Hoss's "Death"

I've never seen any episodes of the last season, 'cause they're hardly ever rerun but I had always heard that Hoss merely disappeared without explanation after Dan Blocker died and Hoss was never specifically mentioned as having been killed. --Harlequin212121 21:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is stated in the synopsis for "Forever", the season 14 premier. This episode was originally written for Hoss, but Dan Blocker passed away. Anyway, in dialogue between Ben and Little Joe, they both express their sadness in the fact that Hoss is gone forever (thus the title), killed in a gun battle. ~Babygator23~ 00:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hoss.jpg

Image:Hoss.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Origins of the nickname "Hoss"

In addition to the other explanations offered for it, Hoss was also the maiden name of the character's mother, Inger Hoss Cartwright, who died in childbirth. Ken Burch 4:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
