Return to Lonesome Dove ... years later
I can't count the times I've watched the miniseries Lonesome Dove on the teevee. I even wore out a VHS tape so long ago prior to the advent of DVDs ... and streaming videos by far. |
So now I'm watching Return to Lonesome Dove a sequel starring a smattering of different cast members but it is certainly a continuation of the same story with many of the same actors of the first iteration.
My interests have never really been Westerns per se and I dare say I've seen an incredible many of them given the genre was prolific in my childhood and I ran the full gamut of television interludes with all the westerns set before me.
So I suspect my interests revolve around the violence and intrigue I might glean in the mix and the new version is certainly in the same vein as the old ... but also a departure nonetheless. I can live with it all as there are too many free hours in my life to suit me anymore.

I don't see myself going off on any tangents in this particular evolution of an old standard in my life. I'm just going to take it all in episode by episode just like I did the original series.
I need something to tide me over seeing how I can't just hang out at work. Return to Lonesome is a decent substitute for those moments of boredom that punctuate my life in my old age.
