I love the one where the croc/kitty clinch looks like a scene from Alien.

I can't remember where the latest Deadwood discussion was, so I'll just link to Glark's Deadwood/Star Trek dadaism here.

Here there and everywhere, but I've been very surprised that no one has said a word about the latest episode and the absolutely appalling street fight (Bullock arresting Hearst is gonna bring some pain as well I reckon). I may have seen as grueling a fight scene before - RAGING BULL and the sword fights that end of ROBIN & MARION and ROB ROY come to mind - but I don't think I have on television (Joey Pants beating his girlfriend to death on THE SOPRANOS really doesn't count as a fight scene).

Oh, Frank, I was watching that through my fingers. And even so had to turn away a few times.

I haven't commented because this ep mostly left me wanting to know what comes next.

Though, Alma is breaking my heart with the laudunum drinking and I didn't really understand her scene with Mr. Ellsworth - she came on to him and he decided to move out? Oh, Hostetler's suicide with the sad and shocking tore me up, but I don't really have anything to say about it beyond that.

OK - this is disturbing. But worth a heh. Mildly unwork safe.

Not for me.

What does that say about me as a person?

-t, it was a VERY hard scene to watch, but I really like the way they hit you with the gore and then concentrated on Dan's face/reaction for the coup de grace. RIP, Capt. Turner you monstrous cocksucker you. I'm also curious how much use he's going to be as muscle going forward - he looked pretty much broken at the end.

As for your question about Alma - I think Ellsworth realized from looking into her eyes that she wasn't all there, was using again, etc., and got out with as much dignity as he could.

Oh, yes. I really want to find out how Dority puts himself back together. I hope your interpretation of Ellsworth leaving is wrong. It fits well with "Don't forget", but I hope he wouldn't leave that little girl with only a drug addled foster parent to protect her if he knew that w3as what he was doing. And he was all skittish while he was still in the bath, talking through the door.

I had to watch the Dan & Capt. Turner fight over the tops of my glasses so it was all blurry. I also couldn't help but think that despite the eye gouging and head on rock banging, neither was a very efficient fighter.

Neither went for the knees or the balls. It's not like that could have been considered "dirty" fighting could it?

I kept wondering what was considered a "fair fight", lisah. And I don't know.
