tonight we see sheridan as charles goodnight, a real character and rancher from the period in texas who founded the goodnight loving trail and in 1867 and the true story of the drive was the basis for none other than lonesome dove. Oliver loving woulda been gus, and charles goodnight was capt call.
I am beginning to see how he is mixing in real bits of history while ignoring others - like once again the trains. but then again we would not have the drama.
Yes Goodnight was real
Didn’t realize it was Sheridan in the part
He went into writing because he was judged mediocre as an actor
Very unlikely for Goodnight to show up like that
Billy Bob as the FTW sheriff in that episode made much more sense
ok, help me out here please, was Sam Elliot shot in the head during the shoot out? Or was it simply a graze?

one thing that i can't get over is the angle of the shot - the bandits were shooting down at the pioneers - seems like a very lucky shot to go in his hat and nick his forehead
Anyone notice James Jorden playing Cookie the cook, is in everyone of Sheridan's series. He was even in Wind River, Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown.
Sheridan casts his actors again and again in his work.

Sam the Indian, mentioned the trains last night in the show....when speaking with Sam Elliott about how to get where they're going.
Don’t blame Elsa
She is only a figment of Sheridan’s imagination
It is his writing and POV that is coming out
My take is that a 17 yr old young woman sounds awfully mature and philosophical by E5
This Sunday’s episode has some other examples of “unrealistic” action/behavior
But Shea does speak with someone (a surprising choice) who mentions to ability to take the train vs a wagon train….so whoever the poster was who brought up that travel was available in 1883–Sheridan did acknowledge that as option…
I'm guessing, woman back then matured way faster, as I can see that in our generation, and the ones coming up presently who are less mature thn we were, we were also more responsible and could problem solve much better, so when reflecting back, my guess would be that in those times, woman matured much quicker b/c they had to, they had harder times, had to work harder, which was passed down from our grand parents to our parents, to us, and now seeing two generations coming up, being less responsible, because they can, is a culture shock to me...
But I do believe women in Elsa's time, were much more mature and responsible....because they had to be....
