| I'm with you Rich, - the first few segments were far superior to the rest. Actually, I shouldn't say that, because I'd didn't watch a couple of the later episodes, it lost my interest. |

Yeah, I also didn't catch all the episodes. I watched the first three because those were definitely the best. But once the 4th one hit, I must admit I kinda lost interest. As much as I loved all of it, it just wasn't as good as the earlier ones. I did however, catch the final episode, and let me tell you, I loved that one! I thought the actor, Chaske Spencer (the older version of Voices that Carry) was amazing! Surprisingly, he turned out to be my favorite of the entire series. I thought he portrayed his character with so much depth, it was amazing. The DVD's coming out in October...and I can't wait to get it!!

Gosh I thought the DVD wasn't coming out until next June. October is good news.
Nora you don't mention how you liked Sitting Bull.???????????????
I liked the adult Voices That Carry also but did you see the actor who portrayed him as a child, too? He makes those middle episodes worth watching. I agree that the earlier episodes were better, too. Maybe when the DVD comes out we can catch up on the things we missed!

| I loved Into The West. I just felt rushed through the series sometimes when they skipped several years. Maybe I just got attached to the characters and wondered what happened. Russell Means did a wonderful job and so did Michael Spears as Dog Star. I will get the DVD. Maybe Eric should have had a bigger part in it. I wonder what he is up to next. (Sorry for my english, I am German and I mix the words and grammar around sometimes!) |

Stephanie,
I love Eric Schweig (as all of you know)and I thought he did a wonderful job as Sitting Bull (although he looks nothing like the REAL Sitting Bull), but he just didn't have a big enough part to really get me into his character, do you know what I mean? With the older Voices that Carry, I felt that I KNEW him and all of the obstacles he was trying to overcome. I just really liked his character. I briefly saw the younger Voices that Carry, and what I saw I liked...he had a lot of emotion, and I thought he did really well...it's just the middle episodes didn't interest me as much. But, you're right, when I get the DVD, I'll be sure to catch up on what I missed and maybe I'll like the episodes more.

| Overall I enjoyed this mini-series very much and I agree with the comments about Eric as "Sitting Bull" He should have been given a different role in this series. He was made to look "ugly" again. I prefer him more Uncas-like myself but he is not afraid to try different roles and definitely not afraid to look "ugly" on camera. My favorite part of the whole series was the Naomi part where she married her "captor" He was one good looking guy and won her over in the end. |
