My friend had originally seen him on Oz and finds Stabler kind of wimpy in comparison (but still kinda hot).
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

UnStabler...that should so be his nickname, if that show wasn't so serious, lest we forget rape is a criminal act for five seconds. Not, that, you know, it should be like "Night Court".

So Ian McShane is good in Deadwood, then?
Oh my yes.

Well, actually, he's awful. But not acting-wise...he's supposed to be awful. He's evil, it's what he does. But there's other stuff, too.

The first thing I saw him in was BOUND, where he's the guy that Joey Pants whacks because he thinks he's the one trying to frame him for the robbery that Gina/Jennifer pulled.

Although it certainly looks like they are setting up Hearst to give him a run for his money (and fingers) in the evil department.
eta I suspect seeing Major Dad in that role is close to what Fay would feel seeing McShane as Swearengen.

Yeah, wrod. Al is total small potatoes comparatively. And, yeah, wrod on the actor thing. But I'm hardpressed to describe the other parts of Swearingen's personality..."vulnerability" as the other side of a villain is sort of a cliche word but part of him really is still a needy orphan or something. On rare occasions.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wouldn't call Swearingen evil, exactly. He's bad, certainly, but he's not opposed to the greater good when that's in line with Al's good. And I think that he's aware of the suffering he causes - yes, he treats people like pawns, but he knows that those pawns are people. All that scrubbing of blood stains. And that moment this week when he said "I do that" to the whore, that wasn't guilt but it was awareness. It's not that he doesn't care who he hurts, it's that he decides that it's acceptable to do the hurting.
