Hey thank you Dev, that means a lot to me.
I try to look up anything I'm curious about as I'm watching the episodes, and I share tidbits of info along the way.
I'm looking forward to learning everything about it, but the spoilers I've come across (particularly those dealing with Marshal Dillon's lack of romantic interests) I kinda could have done without. It's okay though.
Of all the info I've come across so far, James Arness's history of military service has probably been my favorite insight. It's so wonderful to watch this show and enjoy him to the fullest knowing that he was a real life war hero. It makes me love him for so much more than just his great looks and that sexy voice!
