Civil War Fans TV shows coming

I look forward to " Grant vs Lee -To Appomattox" on HBO. Interesting actors, but what a great cast, can't wait to see Lang as Lincoln.

Grant vs Lee looks great, can't wait to see it!

[TorpX]

Looks like they have good matches for the most part.

William Petersen looks too well fed and content to be Sherman, though.

I hope it is portrayed from both sides of the conflict.

The subject still evokes heated discussion even today.

If going by each mans motives, it is not so much political. They were both soldiers and gentlemen, with great respect for each other.

I would like to see the Unions early losses potrayed as well.
Considering the Army of the Potamac went through a few commanders before it found Grant, his victory at Vicksburg, as a minor general cemented a reputation for him. McClellan was an absolute disaster.

But I would like to see both sides qualms represented, and left to the viewer to decide morally.

It was a sad dark time in our history, even 150 years later, it still starts arguments over who was right. It should be done right, with no skew.

In before McBee. Looks interesting and will probably take a look at this when it becomes available down under.

Well, I didn't think it would ever get done, released or what and sometimes still wonder, but all the talk is it's a done deal. I still can't get a good fix on the release date.

Hopefully it will be historically correct, has some great historians and producers. I think they were addressing for once the many overweight reenactors Tis strange seeing all the well fed fat CSA soldiers marching into battle, when they were starved and bone thin.

We'll see what the future holds.

Hoo-rah fer dah Wafflehouse---I mean South...south!

[Sailor Steve]

Wow! Half the cast of Tombstone! Half the cast of Justified! Stephen Lang has played Pickett, Jackson and Ike Clanton, and now he's doing Lincoln? That should be interesting, to say the least. The man's a chameleon!

[soopaman2]

I simply want something that tells it like it is, and does not cause division.

Niether side was right, niether side was wrong.

But 600k died in 4 years, millions suffered.

I want past it as a country. North (union) on paper won. But technically, no one won.
Just would love to see both sides represented, as both sides had valid gripes.

Just don't tell me how it ends. I hate spoilers.

Lincoln is shot and killed. Three thousand years later he is reanimated and forced to help Kirk, Spock and some Vulcan pacifist to fight evil on a distant planet. He buys the farm again.

So help me Spock, it's true.

[soopaman2]

That man looks more Romulan to me, watch out Abe, he's gonna kill you!

Never trust a Romulan.

Since it's HBO, I wonder how much swearing and nudity will be in it? (Since it's a CW show)

I liked Lang saying "damnation" from Gettysburg.
