I always thought Alma had an instinct for hardball, (not the Chris Matthews kind) considering her addiction and, um, what she would probably call her "station in life". I suspect things had always been tougher for her than they looked.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

HAH! I was reading this as the Alma from the Wire and was, like, "Wha huh? Did I miss an episode?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I watched Brokeback Mountain 4 times this weekend. Who knew there were so many Almas?

Her name was Alma wasn't it? Hadn't thought about it. Of course, thinking of her as other than Rookie Latina Chick might have helped. But, yeah, I'm referring to Alma Garrett, who might have actually made the better reporter, actually.

I heard the nurse call for an "Alma Garrity" in the doctor's office the other day and had a crossed wire mental image of Molly Parker swooning beside a football field in Dillon, TX.

Yes, wrod. there are apparently a number of athletes named Bodie. It gets my attention every time. "That's contrapment, yo."

Episode 2! And, ooh, it's the very next day. I do enjoy my serial dramas.
Al Swearengen is...a very bad man.

He's a complicated man
no one understands him but his...hookers?
Ok, that worked better for Shaft. My bad. But it's still true.

You don't know the half of it. But erika's right too. Pretty amazing, that. One of the most compelling major characters I've ever seen in a serialized TV drama.
'Course, there are very few uncomplicated people in Deadwood, Hoopleheads aside.
