re: #424 darthstar

I didn’t follow the series. Just watched the premier and a spot episode every other season. Was actually not going to watch the full episode last night, but the opening sequence with “El Paso” got me interested (and I knew he’d die at the end), then I kept seeing references to the song throughout the show so I pretty much watched it for the framing.

I did the same thing. I’ve only watched a few episodes of the first season, but I knew that I wouldn’t escape any spoilers for the finale. I sat and watched it with the boyfriend and was amused by all the references to “El Paso”. I know how the story ends now, and I’ve got some of the beginning under my belt. Now I just need to binge watch the rest to get the full context.

I’ve seen some fansites reference the title as FeLiNa, which are the symbols for Iron, Lithium, and Salt — or to put it another way, Blood, Meth, and Tears.
