Previous Watches: 01–03
Watch 04: Dead Men Don’t Count
Enjoyably charismatic energy between Steffan and Damon.
Favorite Scene: dinner with the gal’s family
Biggest Nitpick: tonal whiplash following that family’s death

Watch 05: A Train for Durango
Humor and quirkiness that’s right up my alley.
Favorite Scene: I want to say the big, visual gags as the gang tries to open the safen; but really it’s that final stand-off between Steffan and Damon that takes the win.
Biggest Nitpick: …none(?) I think it really nails the humor, pacing, and everything spot-on.

Watch 06: Django the Bastard
A serviceable watch with a few memorable visuals, elevated by a riveting villain portayal.
Favorite Scene: …either when them corpses came riding back to town, strung up on crosses strapped to their horses, or when the brother’s got Django strung up by his neck, in the church.
Biggest Nitpick: Steffan’s too pretty here for this role. Not a casting problem, but hair/makeup/character design could have done more to support the presence the script seems to want him to have.
