the wolves scene still bugs me. I've turned so many folks onto this show, but I always throw that wolves scene caveat in there. What a braindead piece of writing that portion was. It was the only LOL moment in the whole series.

It's been a minute since I binged the show, but I assume you are talking about them breaking into the cabin and going after the kids?

You know what bugs me? The wanted posters for the woman. They look like they were copied en masse at the kinkos.

Again, I enjoyed this show but could have been significantly improved if, as other posters have mentioned:
-ending; cheesy, predictable, lazy
-no woman chief
-wolves scene
-Devin took massive blows to the head from both the French and the horse; he's either dead or a veggie
-Devin gets his leg snapped in half and by what seems like a couple of weeks later is walking around
-wanted poster looks AI generated

badass show, but man, there was some low hanging fruit for making it less cheesy

Come on, everyone knows all you need to fix a compound fracture in your leg is a red hot knife.

I assumed that was due to infection or something? Would stop bleeding?

Yes, premise was to cease the spreading infection - but with the application of heat, they no longer considered amputation and he was nearly immediately healed. The little indian girl was worth her weight in gold.

I finished it. I really wanted to like it, but it was just to over the top all the time. The action and violence lost it's punch when they couldn't go 5 minutes without some violence happening. Wish they had just done another season of Godless. Thought it was much better.

Finished it last night. Had to watch it solo as the girlfriend won't watch something that violent.

Good show, interesting to read up on some of the actual history in that region/era.

This land is your land/My Land was an interesting choice of music.

And yes, a red hot knife on a wound will cure anything....

3 episodes in. I like most of it so far. Definitely love the period, cinematography, mood, and casting is good. The story hasn't grabbed me, plot points feel week in and predictable in several areas. But I do love being taken back in time without out all the goofy sugar coating. I'm enjoying the ride, and extra credit if the plot ends up playing a bigger part in the journey.

There are plenty of shows more violent than this. Game of Thrones, Spartacus, and Vikings come to mind.

Started it last night with the wife. Knocked out two 'sodes. Never really learned much about the history of that territory. Has sent me down some deep dives today.
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

Is saving the time to type two letters really worth the effort of shortening the word?

Which two letters did he leave out?
"E" and "P"?
"P" and "I"?
"E" and "I"?

Maybe he did it for you as a favor since you don't know how to spell?

As hard as ignoring someone using an abbreviation I suppose.

if it only save your two keystrokes, it is really an abbreviation? Especially if it is one you made up yourself that no one is really familiar with?

Don't listen to these guys. Most of us know about 'sodes. Maybe these guys don't listen to podcasts or keep up with funny slang in general. Love a good sode, bout to catch a sode of white lotus right now

Let us vs Let's
You all vs Y'all
Cannot vs Can't

Most abbreviations only save a couple of keystrokes so that's not a very good barometer

Peter Berg (the film maker that made American Primevil) is on the most recent Joe Rogan show. They spend a good portion of the first half of the show discussing the history what really happened, how they made the show, Berg's interactions with the modern day LDS etc.

They discuss it more towards the end. Even when they aren't discussing Primevil, its worth the listen.

Peter Berg does a good job of researching the subjects and making things as real as he can. He did Lone Survivor, and the time he put into learning about each guy involved and training the actors to look and act like SEALs was impressive.
