S5 E24 - "Kitty's Killing"
Oh my damn, this sounds like it's gonna be a juicy episode!!! *popcorn*
3:25 lol Chester's like "Thank God."
5:45 pretty scenery. I love more details like this being added into the show.
6:40 lmao Chester is my kinda man!
8:00 Marshal Dillon is just so much more intense than he used to be. Yet I couldn't explain what the heck has changed, not in any solid terms. It's something I can't put my finger on. It's incredibly enjoyable. I love what I'm seeing. I just don't really know what the heck happened. But it's like he's settled in for the long haul on this show. It's like some kind of deep knowing that this belongs to him, from now on.
I started to wonder if maybe there was anything going on in his private life during that 1959-1960 timeframe that could be influencing his mood on the show and sure enough...

These episodes have been in late 1959 and early 1960. Some sources say they divorced in 1960, some say 1963. His autobiography says the divorce was in 1958, so I guess we can settle on that, but I find the confusion around the dates a bit odd.
I've read a lot of articles about the Gunsmoke cast, I've read the James Arness autobiography, and it all seems to point to his wife Virginia Chapman (a fellow acting hopeful at one time) being pretty jealous of James' success...

I think it's sad that she let his success get to her that way instead of just being happy for him. In any case, I find it interesting that these things were going on in his life around the same time that this intensity becomes so apparent in him during season 5.
14:08 "I've come here to observe. To watch the human animals in action." Lmfaololol.
16:18 I kinda wanna hold Miss Kitty down and hump her a little bit.
18:20 I wouldn't comply. Never comply.
23:10 I like episodes with a lot of Miss Kitty.
24:55 look how he touches her... *heart eyes* This is the most action we've seen between them so far.
