@BLAYDZ99 As fantastic as the mini series is the book is just as great. Of course, the book goes into much detail as you would expect with nearly 1,000 pages. There are lots and lots of scenes in the book that are never covered in the mini series due to time constraints and it only adds to the greatness of "Lonesome Dove."
@thejohn95 Yeah, I think you're right. For instance, in the book, the author gives detailed accounts of how Dish got his name. He also mentions events from Lorena's past, like when Mosby's sisters locked her in a basement. Those are the kinds of things that determine what the characters are like now. The NOW is all the audience has to go by in a movie, even one on this scale.
@ 5:14: One of the many classic lines in this EPIC Western... listen to the inflection in Tommy Lee Jones' voice as he scolds Bolivar about his culinary skills; one example of a fine actor at work. It doesn't hurt that he has actors like Robert Duvall, Tim Scott, Rick Schroeder & León Singer to play off of.
Is this next after Comanche Moon???

@fauxgrace In order they are as follows:
DEAD MAN'S WALK
COMANCHE MOON
LONESOME DOVE
STREETS OF LAREDO
Note- RETURN TO LONESOME DOVE wasn't a book. It was just a made-for-tv sequel to LONESOME DOVE, before the actual sequel, STREETS OF LAREDO.

This is really good. The only flaw is that they can't relay the backstory to the viewer as well as the book could but that's unavoidable

@markmeetsworld Also a lot of times in the book they will cut to flashbacks that Call and Gus have
