Talk:Into the West (miniseries)

message: *I have started a rough plot synopsis for episode 4.  Not the same quality as prior work done by others.  Anyone else watching?  Care to help?  --Tony Hecht 00:07, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode 4 - Hell on Wheels

message: There's no "background information" or "trivia" section into which I can edit, and I don't wish to add one superflously.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4820582.stm is an interesting article, and would be interesting as a footnote or such.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 17:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: How about for the family tree, we use the family tree template used by Wikipedia instead of bullets? Less confusing, don't you think? MagnoliaSouth (talk) 18:06, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I reworked the family tree for the Wheeler family. The bulleted list was confusing, but also contained redundancy. The bulleted info was already in the article. I had some blanks I had to fill in because the movie leaves out a few people, but mentions their children, so I used the book to fill in the gaps. I hope that's okay. I'm worn out and will post the sourcing stuff later. This took me hours as I'm not a coding kind of girl. :) MagnoliaSouth (talk) 03:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timeline and Family Tree sections 

message: * Episode 1 greatly misrepresented Jedediah Smith's expedition to California. For a production that makes so much about being true to history where the fictional characters contact it, this was disappointing. Smith's problems with the Mojave came not on the return portion of his first trip, but on the outward leg of his second. There is nothing in Smith's history about escaping through a cave, and the ordeal he had in the Great Basin on the way back from his first trip to California would have been more dramatic than the fiction of the cave, and wouldn't have taken any longer to present.RDavS (talk) 22:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While a real doctor would likely have not taken so long, I think the film presents well what can happen with self-proclaimed doctors. While one might expect every pioneer to carry a saw, at such an advanced point along the trail, many valuable items had already been discarded to reduce weight. Without a saw, 90 minutes is not unreasonable; and the tourniquet could limit the blood flow.RDavS (talk) 22:50, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

message: In trying to find a citation source for the missing scenes in the DVD, I found this page on Amazon.com: . One poster included a short list of missing scenes:
"A few of the cut scenes appear to be: 1.) Kerri Russel's character towards the end of episode two is dragged away from her indian family; 2.)Sitting Bull's sundance prior to the Little Bighorn; 3.)Episode 6 - hodgekiss guns during battle of Wounded Knee."
