   Anybody catch the first episode last night? I thought it was OK, but   
   not great. The Lakota mysticism was laid on a bit thick for my taste,   
   especially as it was depicted onscreen as though it actually happened.   
   If they are going to show Loved by the Buffalo as communing with Wakan   
   Tanka and his dead ancestors giving him advice like Obi Wan Kenobi   
   telling Luke Skywalker to use the force then why didn't they show   
   Jesus crawling through the cave with Smith and young Wheeler? Is   
   Spielberg trying to tell us that the Lakota religion is real and the   
   Judeo-Christian one ain't?   
   I'll probably watch the remaining 5 because it's rerun season and   
   nothing else is on, but after looking forward to it since I saw the   
   first commercial I was seriously let down. At least it ain't got that   
   damned Scientologist, Cruise, in it...
