Another great episode last night, filled with a lot of tense moments, especially when the school children were being led to their new classroom and everyone was watching them.
Sheriff Bullock loves to pull people around by their ear. Nice to see him dismiss Johnny Burns about getting a lecture from Al about it.
The relationship between Hearst and Aunt Lou is one of the more compelling parts of the show for me. I keep wondering if it will lead anywhere now that the inevitable death of Odel has occurred.
This slow build this season is really well executed. Nothing feels rushed, yet they are all compelling enough to keep the show interesting. With the Pinkerton's showing up, there is a palpable tension in almost every scene.
I'm also somewhat surpised to see the Wyatt Earp portayed as less than the heroic, upstanding lawman that almost every dramatic account paints him.
Finally, some Swearingen woop-ass looks to be taking place next week.
Ah geez, they're doing a NINTH season? Despite the fact that the story is already two years too drawn-out as it is, and the fact that Segal/Radnor/NPH have all hinted/outright said that they're ready to move onto other things?
