This is another one of those shows that someone's opinion of it would help shape my opinion of them. I did a thread on this topic a while back after one of the dads in the troop professed his disdain for Jeremiah Johnson. 
Someone who doesn't like LD, I probably wouldn't care to hang out with because our world view and common interests are likely very far apart. Jerimian Johnson was a scoundrel, no matter now noble the movie made him out to be, and you wouldn't want him at your dinner table. Nor the actor who portrayed him,for that matter. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
UVA UVAM VIVENDO VARIA FIT (Literally: The grape is a grape variety of living.) The Latin phrase that appears on the Hat Creek Cattle Company sign in “Lonesome Dove” is a garbled corruption, and there’s no direct translation. It derives from the scholia to Juvenal 2.81 which cites the proverb “uva uvam videndo varia fit” This means something like “a grape changes color [i.e., ripens] when it sees [another] grape.” Novelist Larry McMurtry probably intentionally misused the Latin, perhaps to make a point about Augustus McCrae’s tenuous understanding of the language. From there, any number of interpretations have arisen to explain why McMurtry chose to communicate that particular idea. Probably the soundest theory is that the phrase serves as a metaphor for the group’s journey, as many of the story’s characters go through a process of personal maturation and development. Much like grapes ripen in the presence of others. Copy pasted explanation. I'm sure Gus trying to sound fancy fucked up his Lattin. |

McMurtry hates cowboys and people in general (see Terms of Endearment, Brokeback Mountain and Hud). I think Lonesome Dove transcended what he intended. He hated the 2nd miniseries so much the first thing he did when he took up the series again was kill off Newt with Hellbitch. Streets of Laredo and Dead Man's Walk should have both been awesome but were hard to watch. Comanche Moon was ok. |
