It was great
Only one false note and that was muted. Missy's role has been expanded and I look forward to seeing more of her. Dale was dour, decent and a bit gormless as usual, Meemaw and Mary and George put in their usual solid performances. Pastor Jeff and Robin put in some neat subtext.
The show is getting to the stage where Sheldon can only be the Linch pin, but he does a fine job of that.
There is only one small quibble. I thought there might be two because I find it hard to imagine German beer causing anyone to throw up, but this is Hollywood and I suppose anything is possible. But the running joke about George hogging the bathroom. This is Texas. Everything is big in Texas, so why haven't the Coopers got at least two loos ?

Pretty much as a lot of posters have said. Great action scenes and performances by Joaquin Phoenix, Vanessa Kirby and just about everybody else.
The only problem is that the when the various armies aren't knocking seven bells out of each other, there is not that much going on.
Plus, Scott has been dealt a dirty blow by Sergey Bondarchuk. Compared to his version, Scott's battle looks like Sharpe's Waterloo with added CGI, although to be fair, nothing can hope to match Sergey Bondarchuk's film where most of the Russian army moonlighted as extras with most of the Russian army as extras and which had Christopher Plummer's redcoats arising like magic from the cornfields
But that is ok. The real problem is that Ridley Scott just does not seem to find Napoleon interesting , which makes it hard for the audience to do so.
