Good points, and I do agree with you. I guess I just didn't like the way it was executed. There was potential there with the setup from the initial scenes with each other, with Josephine being a wild girl for the times, and I thought they did a good job with Doc and Kate's story line. Whatever, still a great movie, just a minor annoyance for me.I thought the romance sub-plot was important because it really drives home what kind of man Wyatt is. At first, he tries to fight it and convince himself that he's happy living the quiet family man's life, because that "suits him right down to the ground." But really, no, it's not true. He's a wild man. He needs the action. He needs the adventure. He needs to know that something new might be just over the horizon.
That's what his little fling with Josephine shows us.
