S3 E26 - "Dooley Surrenders"

0:32 "It's a long mean ride up the trail, breathin' the dust of half wild Texas cattle. Feeding poor on salt meat and beans, drinkin' branch water for months at a time. You don't wonder when they hit Dodge, they load up on cheap whiskey and go on to shoot for each other... and for me. Matt Dillon, US Marshal."

1:22 bro... if I was those other guys, I'd be clenching my cheeks tight tonight cuz that guy looks crazy enough to fuck ANYBODY.

2:11 lmfao who the fuck just randomly starts shooting like that?? It's so dumb and loud.

3:20 I guess they wanted an excuse to kill the guy AND get rid of this dude at the same time, I mean, he IS annoying as hell.

11:57 guy's got a pretty sexy body, but he's just totally annoying.

24:05 this is what should have happened at the beginning of the episode.

2:36 I knew a dude named Tilman once.

5:50 this whole taking justice into their own hands thingy never seems to work out very well.

9:09 somebody is.

10:50 why are they trying to protect the guy?

14:38 "I got me a little squashy gal all lined up for the evening." Roflmfaolol.

Generally boring episode.

1:05 if they ever take the saloon girls out of this show, I am gonna be sad.

2:10 some facts about our beloved Chester...

Quote:Dennis Weaver was a vegetarian since 1958 and student of yoga and meditation since the 1960s and a devoted follower of Paramahansa Yogananda, the Indian guru who established the Self-Realization Fellowship in the United States.

3:45 this guy looks like he's seen better days.

5:10 "I wanna get my wife a job here, learn her some new tricks!'

5:30 well if there's one thing I've learned about the Gunsmoke universe, it's that the dealer always gets it. So this guy's a goner for sure, we'll see how they kill him off.

5:40 "Isn't she a little young??" She's fricken older than Kitty in this episode. This is another example of what I was talkin' about in that other post where I was talkin' about it.

5:58 faro... why the fuck are they always playing faro? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faro_(banking_game) Anybody dealin' in my saloon's gonna be dealin' blackjack!!!!!!!!!!

11:58 damn, I guess this chick's had a sordid life with this cardslingin' pervert!

13:00 dude what the hell is wrong with this drunk ass? Like yeah, the guy's unlikable and kind of a weirdo but drunk bro ain't much better... he can't go around doing that kind of shit. I say let him get dealt with.

19:00 mmmm, God... Marshal Dillon looks so sexy in this shot.

19:30 oh well it all makes sense now!!!

23:45 "You go on off to St. Louis and slut that ass real good now, and make me proud."

24:46 amen to that... he did a great job!

1:00 TBH, a laughing gas show sounds like a damn good time. Everyone would be laughing. It would get tiring but it would definitely be entertaining.

1:45 I feel like this is gonna go south somehow.

4:18 "You become your natural self." First time I've ever heard that... pretty interesting.

8:40 they shouldn't be teasing this guy. He's wearing a gun now and everything. Sure, he's a douche, but they should just leave him alone.

15:58 the guy on the left looks like Val Kilmer. I can't figure out his name from the cast list on IMDB but this guy who plays Stafford is pretty damn fine too... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Harens

20:02 I'd love to be an informant for Marshal Dillon.

1:20 they're always shit talking one another about how little work they do, lmao.

So I'm just sitting here watching the episode like 8 minutes in when there's a scene transition (or so I thought) and somehow it ends up back at the very opening scene where Doc is walking up on them. I have no idea how that happened.

16:11 I enjoyed that conversation between Kitty and Matt. I was imagining what they might look like havin' sex together.

16:36 "Nobody manhandles Kitty besides me."

18:28 LMFAO DAYUM, Kitty's savage as fuck... https://imgur.com/a/EuXaY9p

S3 E31 - "Amy's Good Deed"

0:28 "They tell me that back east there's a lot of book writers and newspaper people who picture a frontier lawman as somebody pert near perfection. He always guns his man down, never makes a mistake. He's at the top of the heap on every play. Well, that may be... back east. But I never met a man like that out here. And knowing this job the way I do, I don't think I ever will. Matt Dillon, US Marshal."

3:15 lmfao this part cracked me the hell up.

4:15 haven't we all, lmao!?

5:00 listen lady, Marshal Dillon's killed hundreds of people, okay. You're gonna have to be a little more specific.

5:15 well God I hope so. I've been waitin' for him to kill a lady!

10:38 that's a pretty baller hair comb Kitty's wearing.

11:56 ah so she's got beef with the marshal over a man named Jim... well lady, I hate to break it to ya, but that literally doesn't narrow anything down. Every other person in this show is named Jim. Like I get it, it sucks that he doesn't remember, but could you at least throw out the name of a town or SOMETHING that would make it a little more obvious exactly what you're upset about!?

12:05 I mean, he's probably killed at least 10 different dudes named Jim at this juncture of the show and it's only season 3 so, no.

14:05 wow, we've never heard him cough before.

0:42 oh look. It's another guy named Jim.

1:08 ohhh. Shit.

3:08 pretty badass outfit though.

6:15 they've addressed suicide a lot on this show, it's a pretty intense theme, they don't shy away from it. Wonder what people thought of that kinda thing on TV back in the 1950s.

15:18 serial killer on the loose in Dodge.

22:28 Kitty's got a lot of faith in Matt.

S3 E33 - "Innocent Broad"

0:40 wow look at this gorgeous set. I'd love to live in a straight up wooden building that looks just like that.

0:46 FFS, ANOTHER dude named Jim. TBF, it's the hotass stagecoach driver so it's technically not a NEW Jim or anything.

1:50 she's not gonna be Matt's love interest is she? Come on.

2:33 I'd be sitting on his lap the whole way though.

3:06 be even nicer if you'd shut the fuck up.

8:13 "You sure are lookin' good." ... "That so?" roflmfaolrmfoalfamroalfololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:08 well if we're going on looks alone, I definitely approve of that guy.

9:50 on one hand I get why she was telling him that, but on the other hand, I feel like Marshal Dillon seems to think it was sorta antagonistic of her to say it. But then he walks up and starts talking shit anyway, so it's kind of a gray area.

11:17 man I'm not really too sure what the marshal is suspecting here, but he's definitely suspecting something.

11:28 "I hope I see you again!" Yeah I bet you do.

12:34 "I've been missin' that dick!"

12:54 aw, man, I was gonna make jokes about her ending up there, but... considering she's a runaway and all, I thought it was in bad taste. So to see her there now... just goes to show Matt was 100% right and she's basically been trafficked.

This is the actress... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrna_Fahey She died in the '70s, that's fucked up.

14:58 "He says I gotta slut my ass and then give him all the money! And Miss Kitty's gonna have to take her cut too!"

16:08 the hotel front desk is just gorgeous. I absolutely love the old west aesthetic.

24:28 true that.

Daily reminder: If you try to sneak up on an Arapaho and lynch her, make sure she doesn't recognize the sound of your footsteps.

Halfway through the second season, I've been noticing we haven't seen any trains or railroads yet.

Curiously, although ranchers drove their herds to Dodge City to sell, there was no railroad to haul the cattle to the slaughterhouses in Chicago.

Dodge City Station wasn't built until 1896.

What a coincidence.

This lady just said her husband was going to try to bring in a spur line of the railroad.

What if you had to bury several dead guys on the prairie at once?

You dig all the holes, plant the bodies, and cover therm up.

Then you start making the grave markers. But you forgot which man was buried in which hole.
