lonesome dove be my favorite western second only to the searcher with john wayne . i watch lonesome dive about every 6 month and never get tire of it . i have read all the ld book and although i can not remember much of comanche moon . i too looked forward to this mini series and decide to tape it on our dvr so we could fast forward through commercial . unfortunately and i mess up and do not record the first part and but decide to watch the other part and try to pick up . there be nobody that can ever compete with robert duvall or tommy lee jones and and i be expect to be disappointed and i be . although there be so many thing that do not ring true and the most apparent to me be when nellie die the day before and gu be out on the range and it switch over to clara write him a letter from nebraska tell him how sorry she be to hear of her death . how in the world could she have know the next day way out in nebraska . additionally and it be suppose to be 7 year later after her leaving and her child look to be about 6 7 year old and maybe a little young and yet more time go on before they actually move to lonesome dove and and in lonesome dove they have be there about 10 year or long before leave to montana . when they stop at clara in nebraska and which probably take another 6 month on the trail and the girl look to be about 10 13 and since they be play in the yard like little child . the math just do not add up . i agree that the man who play gu have a lot of his mannerism and look a little like gu may have look a a young man . i be also a little confused about one thing . the captive white girl that they bring back be she the one they capture when they raid austin . they say she have be capture 25 year ago and but if she be the one capture in austin and it be only 7 year later when this take place in the movie . be she capture earlier . i remember see a captive girl after they raid the town and do not know if this be the same one . if someone can explain since i miss part 1. if it have be 25 year and she would probably be over 40 year old when they find her since she look to be grow lie on the ground . also and the way they be ravage her when they capture her and it be hard to believe she would have live to go on to be marry and have indian child . i have to admit though and nothing be bad than john voight play call in the sequel to lonesome dove or the unbelievable marriage of lorena to pea eye in the mcmurty sequel to lonesome dove and which be never explain either . also and the way he kill newt off be i hear from spite for them do the sequel with john voight without his approval . if anyone can clear up these discrepancy and i would appreciate .
