Deadwood: Deadwood

"Goddammit, Swearengen, I don't trust you as far as I could th'ow you, but I enjoy the way you lie.”

As the cunningly apt tagline says, Deadwood is “A hell of a place to make your fortune”. It’s also one hell of a show. Coming from noted insane genius David Milch, Deadwood was perhaps a little too ambitious for its own good: a ruthless Western populated by powerfully written characters who spoke in dialogue that sounded like Shakespeare run through a pig farm.

The Death of Deadwood

I've just heard that HBO is planning to cancel Shakespeare in the Mud after its third season airs. Only twelve more episodes, and possibly a TV movie. That's all we're getting, folks.

Deadwood: Through a Glass Darkly

I love DVDs. It wasn't all that long ago that the only way we could re-watch something we loved was by waiting for reruns. I remember hearing that in the early 70s, fans of the original Trek would make audio tapes of their favorite episodes so that they could at least hear them whenever they wanted. And of course, they wrote fan fiction. That's how fan fic started.
