From what I've heard the Wild Bill death scene is very accurate. Bill's normal seat against the wall, with full view of entrance, at Tom Nuttall's was occupied so Bill took a seat without view of someone approaching. In poker if you have aces and eights(2pair) it is known as the dead mans hand due to the legend of his hand at time of death. He was 39.

The "listen to the thunder" speech is one of my favorite pieces of writing in recent time. I think about it often. A great mixture of writing and acting. I also love Al's, "Why, Wild Bill..."

Oh it was great! I really wish we could have gotten more of Bill, but he made use of his time on the show, loved his performance

Wow I didn't know that's why it was called that. 39 back then was much older than 39 today. Hard living for sure.
