Brokeback Mountain (2005)

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

blame @ruensroad for getting me into these soft ranchin’ dudes

It was quiet. The Sherman ranch often was, but that didn’t make Slim any less uncomfortable. He frowned and reached for the half-drunk glass of lemonade on the table, sipped at it idly, and stared at the empty yard outside the window.

Andy had gone into Laramie with Jonesy, both of them excited at the prospect of speaking to someone other than Slim for the day. He’d been in a sour mood for the past thirty four days, snappish and brooding, not wanting to talk or act friendly towards his family. He knew why and that just made it worse. He knew why and it made him want to saddle his horse and ride off into the wilderness to forget.

7 glorious seconds of Robert Fuller sweating his ass off in the tightest jeans and chaps. 

Robert Fuller got paid on this day. If cowboys took baths in living rooms, then I need a time machine. With dual showers outside and this bath tub they can cart anywhere, there’s no shortage of excuses to have Jess Harper and Slim Sherman walk around shirtless on set in this show.
