    Having watched the series again it will be interesting how 2019 audiences react to the portrayal of racism that the show had. It was jarring a bit even to a hardened guy like me to see so many white folks using the N word. 12 years ago is a long time

    It wasn't just Steve the virulent Klan racist who thankfully got his skull kicked in it was everyone even the "good guys" with their causal racism that was part of the times

    Will an audience today put up with that? Will the writers even try?

    Folks were pretty rayciss back then. I would hope that HBO accurately portraying the sentiments of the time wouldn't get them accused of being rayciss of insensitive.

    About Tim. Hoping for some chew spitting women, whiskey fueled brawls and shootouts with an epic script.

    Some of the best writing to ever grace the TV screen.

    August commencement to my administration, standing stymied outside a saloon next to a degenerate tit-licker.

    It's David Milch. Unless HBO put constraints on him, he never holds back.

    One of my favorite shows of all time, but I watched the trailer and am getting the feeling this thing isn't at that level.

    It's hard to recapture that original magic, even when the players are the same.

    Top 10 quote of the series rather easily.

    I felt a bit wary after watching the trailer too

    Either Al found god, or dolly just stuck her thumb in his ass.
