Off the chain in an excellent way.
Oh good! I can't wait to see this latest episode. The last one definitely gave me a

Futureworld sort of vibe. Trying to copy humans. Although it was William wanting immortality I think and not world domination like the movie with Blythe Danner and Peter Fonda -- they were copying world leaders. Have you seen that movie? Anyway, William's father-in-law was tragic, realizing he wasn't a human anymore, had been kept in this same loop for years -- the self-aware realization of that was dismal.

I can't express myself eloquently enough to tell how I feel about this show.

I absolutely thought it was brilliant that
the shogun storyline was exactly like the bandit's storyline. And they knew it. And we watched it play out again in the very beautiful shogun storyline. I love the people in charge of the music for this show. The music is like a character unto itself. Taking modern music and dropping it into the story using the instruments and sound of that world -- of that time.

And the Native American Ghost Tribe storyline was sad and noble.

And all these storylines going at the same time -- all of these characters that we are watching and listening to so closely. I loved when Dolores/Wyatt had the meeting in the barn with the calvarymen and they were set up like the last supper.

I'm just not expressing how absolutely thrilled I am that I got to be part of the viewing audience on such a great show.

fascinating. interesting, intelligent, eye opening, thought provoking. I adore all the talent and energy and creativity that has gone into this show.

Some parts have bored me a little, if I'm honest. It needed the Ghost Nation ep (which was brilliant all round) to get away from the Bernard and Dolores storylines for a while - not because they're dull (though the Dolores one is starting to grate), but because they feel a bit draggy at times. Necessarily so, I know, because there's actually a lot to take in.

There was one bit that went off the scale on my BS-ometer, and that was when the supposedly highly-trained special forces operative went all wobbly because a host came on to him rather than remaining on-task.

Just a little trivia:

I watch the Graham Norton show. Thandie Newton, who plays Maeve the madam, was on. She said that with all the nudity, most of the women have to wear merkins because in today's world, a clean slate rules the V. And of course, in the time periods they are depicting, they had hair.

Although, if memory serves, it seems I read one time that there was a time (my memory is tugging at the French around Louis the XVI's time) they would shave and wear merkins due to lice, crabs, bedbugs, all of the above? infestations.
