Season 2 - Deadwood

[torrain_circles]

I find it absolutely amazing how a season whose final episode involves the death of about eight-and-a-half characters can be such a complete non-downer.

Finally. Fucking *finally*.

(Is it just me, or is E.B.'s health really going straight to hell in the last few episodes? And would *someone* please teach him to use an inside voice? I did not need to see him parting those leather lips, and I *really* did not need to see the tongue action. At all. Sweet lord.)

Tomorrow, season three.

Also, I cannot think of a better TV or movie example of how a sustainable, sensible Blood Bond should be played than Dan Dority. I really can't. None of that weepy half-assed poutingly-self-destructive passive-aggressive sabotaging bullshit, just loyalty and devotion without sacrificing selfhood, down to and right through the bones.

You've talked so passionate about Deadwood, I'll have trouble not buying the DVDs if I see it in a shop.

Now, start watching season three, so I know whether it's as good as the previous ones.

Haven't managed to start yet. Should be able to within the week (or else right after I come back from the trip).

(Rent them first. I love them deeply, but I am cautious about reccommending purchases of entire boxed sets lightly.)

If I do that, it'll be a new first: I've never rented any video/DVD.

Let's hope some channel here decides to broadcast it. And let it be Canvas, they are the only ones who will be able to present it properly (and without breaks).
