Alright Apparently I am the only one that watched this, & loved it. There are very few TV movies that long that I can sit threw, & I don't start going through all the things I need to do the next day.
But I found myself genuinely careing about where these characters were going to end up, because I hadn't seen Lonesome Dove, so I had no idea where they were headed. Which I think is a good thing, becaue this mini series was all about character. What main story line there was, was thin.
This was about a bunch of different storylines intersecting. Sculls quest to kill Almada. Woodrow's complete lack of compassion for anyone (god I wanted to strangle him). McCrae's dealings with life in general. Buffalo Hump's battle with his son.
This made me want to watch Lonesome Dove now. Mainly because the last act of this mini series is pretty f-ing tragic for all involved. Some have a chance at redemption. Some don't.
Last thing. If Steve Zahn doesn't win an Emmy for this role. All is not right with this world. He did a Duvall almost better than Duvall. It was f-ing mind blowing.
