I think people have finished talking about The wire, so just start talking about DW now.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In fact, start talking Deadwood and all kinds of crazy cocksuckers'll come out of the woodwork.

Yeah, it'd probably get us back to watching our DVDs.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think people have finished talking about The wire
Good, thanks, that's what I wanted to know.
It was weird because for the first thirty minutes or so, I felt like I was watching a parody of what I thought Deadwood was like. Lots of people with silly hair cursing up a storm for no apparent reason. But once the introductory stuff settled down and the episode plot kicked in, I liked it.
I didn't realize how many actors I knew were in it. I knew about Timothy Olyphant and Garret Dillahunt, but there's Jim Beaver too! And Keith Carradine from the second season of Dexter. And then I finally realized the rotund, slimy guy was, of course, Brad Dourif, who has made a career out of playing rotund, slimy guys.
So far, my favorite characters are Bullock and Hickock. Followed closely by Star.
Some things I need clarification on but maybe I'm not supposed to know yet:
Where is Deadwood?
How the hell was that claim deal with Tim Driscoll supposed to work? I got that Mr. Posh thought he scammed everyone else when in fact they were all scamming him somehow, but I don't understand why Al was so mad they took more of his money.
Who the hell is Smith, the guy watching over the store? It seemed like he just wandered in, but I think they were maybe expecting him?
What is Alma drinking? She's putting something in her water with an eyedropper.
I didn't really understand the end scene with Trixie and the gun. Why'd she take it in the first place? Was it some sort of gesture of surrender, like, "Okay, Mr. Swearengen, I'll never doubt you again"?

Actually, he mostly played skinny guys early in his career. Skinny crazy guys.

Laudanum. Over the counter opium.

I never thought of Doc as rotund. As for the slimy part...I'll leave you to find out.
