erika - thought I'd share this line from a TWoP recaplet re: the last episode of DEADWOOD:
Al's dealing with a lot tonight -- he pretty much tells Doc that "if you die, I'll kill you."
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yeah. He kind of did. I could almost relate to "Sweargin" at that moment. Which always creeps me out, just a bit. Because I wish for him to be "Blow up Metropolis bad" sometimes but he is more complicated. Which is good for the most part, but there is part of me that complains. You know what's funny? Watching Little House and waiting for the dope merchant and whoremonger to show up. Also, everyone on that show is always clean and conditioned, hair-wise. (eats some peaches)

Yes, but we can skip the clown-masked blacksmith/rapist, 'kay.
I was reading about that in a thread on another board and I just can't believe they went there (but I hadn't heard about the drugs, either).

There were episodes like that? Because I just meant that all "historical" type shows look like somebody's missing now, without the occasional traffic accident or "cocksucker". The truth is probably in the middle, right?

erika - [link] - the episode in question is called "Sylvia". I couldn't believe it myself until I read this (got the link from the Salon TT "Most disturbing television moments" thread; I think they also mentioned Kristin Bell's demise on DEADWOOD in there at some point).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am still traumitized by that clown/blacksmith/rapist dude however many years later. Also, I was a sick little girl, but becuase of how sinister and secret Sylvia's pregnancy was and what a whack-a-loon her father was, I was SURE that it was her father's baby.
Although, now that I look at the dates that is less surprising, because that was the same year that my cousins came to stay with us because their father was abusing them. No wonder I was traumitized

My favorite line from the review of that ep from the link I put in: It is so wildly inappropriate it's almost hallucinatory.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
"Sylvia" was quite a blow to the mind of children everywhere. Craziness, but I remember liking the episode. It was scary!
