S1:e4 - Fugitive Road

Jess Harper + Violence as Devotion

Little Joe Cartwright + Assorted Text Posts (Part 4)

s1:e20 - Death Wind

This is another episode that focuses on a bunch of tertiary characters from the stagecoach, because it ends up having to stay at the ranch when severe weather rolls in.

I can't get over the image of Jess brushing his thumb up against Slim's wrist. Also, this episode has a fun bit of dialogue as Slim and Jess are fixing the porch post-storm:

JH - "C'mon Slim, push!" SS - "What do you think I'm doing?" JH - "You're big enough to eat hay, push harder!"

One of my favorite things: When Charlie just wows people on set with his stunt work prowess whenever he decides to be Daredevil in real life:

"Charlie is an unbelievable physical athlete. We were shooting the scene, and he was like, "Ah this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do a handstand, and I'm going to do press ups on a handstand." He just got up and he just did it, it was like, "What? Wow!" - Marc Jobst, DD S3 director

"Charlie did about 80 percent of the sequence himself...to be able to stay in the moment and emote and be able to actually go through this action sequence with no breaks for 11 and a half, do the highly emotional scene in the middle of it, and then keep going into another action sequence...he's the MVP, without a doubt." - Alex Garcia Lopez, DD S3 director

"At the end of the scene, I was supposed to exit. So I asked them if they could throw a cushion out the window and then, without telling anyone, casually went out that way during one of the takes rather than the door."

"You wouldn't believe how much Charlie actually does. Half the time you see DD flipping, everyone thinks it's me, but it's actually Charlie! He learned how to do a palm spin in a matter of minutes. He also threw a front flip ax kick inside a bus! The guy is amazing." - Chris Brewster, Charlie's stunt double

"When he jumps off the roof in the episode, he did that by himself and shocked everyone. He was like, 'Can I have a little pad?' Then suddenly, he flipped off the roof, and we were all like, 'Did Charlie just do that by himself?' - Kat Coiro, director

"Same thing with Charlie. I mean, he comes in and he wants to do everything. He's a legend, and he's able to come in and learn the fight in a day." - Marc Scizak, stunt coordinator

my sexuality is just Jess Harper and this absolute queen Opal who had exactly one scene in a single episode and now lives rent-free in my brain

she’s so CUTE

I’d like to give a shout out to all the fans who do stuff like this. You are a life saver 🙏

Bonanza (1959) Season 1 Out of Context

I've been going back and watching all the shows I used to watch when I was little - and man, Bonanza is so much better as an adult. I really love these characters - I’m such a sucker for a good series about family relationships, love and loyalty. Also, the show is just as funny as it is dramatic at times, lol!
