Not only did some of the best characters end up dead, but at the end it became obvious that no one still living had learned a single durn thing. So the whole thing was about Futility and Stupidity.

Mother sent home some bullberry and chokecherry juice.

In Star Trek, they had reason to provide advance notice, given the concern that rabid trekkies would react to a character's death by torching Desilu headquarters. So they dressed up all the walking corpses in security guard colors. They didn't have red polyester in the old west, hence "the wave."Dearth of Reasonhttp://dearthofreason.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-36770580551900281712009-07-01T14:10:56.768-06:002009-07-01T14:10:56.768-06:00McMurtry... blech...

I don't like McMurty because he kills off every character I like. <br /><br />I'm writing a western right now, just for the heck of it, and believe it or not -- I have no fatal waves and all dreams come true, and there's still a good plot. Maybe I should insert some of that??? <br /><br />Nah...Being Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257332079795227626noreply@blogger.com
