First, a lot of these guys were used to heading up livestock, wagon train, bull sleds, and those gutteral, sharp words were effective in keeping the muscle in line. Bleeding into the second; This was a land on no laws. It was Indian territory by treaty and the Feds were casting a blind eye to them looting it, while offering them no formal protection. And the town was growing by leaps and bounds, a few hundred in the fall, 100,000 the next spring, 1/2 a mill the next year, mostly lawless, wanted, shifty types. And among all those strangers, all you had was your 'presence.' So everybody was a bunch of Tony Montana's, with their word and their balls, neither to be broken by nobody. And the notion spread that heaping on the obscenities told people you were not someone to be trifled with, without the necessity of killing someone or beating their balls off. This wasn't the lonely prairie of Bonanza, where you could sip iced tea on the porch. It was an instant urban scene with lots of money to be made by being rougher, tougher, smarter and harder working than anyone else. Your critique is a little like seeing "Do the Right Thing" and saying "that was nothing like the New York movies I remember like "Annie Hall.""

The show, IMHO, is actually that good where it's worth spending $9 on a Netflix account, getting caught up and then watching the finale before joining in at this point if you really want to enjoy it. It's a revolutionary piece of television, like Twin Peaks meets Goodfellas. |

He’s essentially breaking an agreement which allowed him to become soldier and now capo. Also, the film he wants to make, Saw meets Godfather II, “Butcher” (heh) has an undertone of what everyone thinks happened between T and Ade the night they got in the car accident. |

That was an iteresting episode. There wasn't so much action, but probably more to think about than any recent episdoes. There's allot of spiritualism and "meaning of life" issues and questions. Paulie seems ready to blow a gasket. I wonder if Tony will get religious?

Chase is laying on the symbolism and metaphors a little heavy. I love trying to dig through the above and put it into perspective but wow, too much to interpret. That was hilarious when the TV hit the pavement and the old lady went by on her scooter oblivious to what just happened. Chris rivaled his “but his apartment looked like shit” line with the “I don’t think that way” when he and T were having the philosophical debate. I got nothing better at the moment, too tired. |
