Or we could talk about soup.

Say it isn't so! My hero, Blast, is dissing "Lonesome Dove"?!? confused

Actually I agree about the book - average at best.

The "Lonesome Dove Miniseries (1989)" with Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duval, Danny Glover, Frederick Forrest, Diane Lane, Rick Schroeder, Angelica Houston et al. however, is completely different. One of the best things I've ever watched on TV. They'd never be able to gather a cast with today's TV budgets. Don't waste a moment of time with the sequals.
