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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Steve The Drunk wasn't too complicated. Just conflicted, that's all.

Heh, I almost made an exception for him. Although he did have a complicated relationship with that horse.

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

Aw, Deadwood talk. I may need to drag out my DVDs...

I'm having nasty mold allergies today, so this may not be the clearest thing I've ever written, but here's my 16-pt plan to fix the media story in S5 of The Wire. Please let me know what you think.

Never a bad thing to do.

Well, unless you got Bible Study or something.
Deadwood would not go over then.

Corwood, much as I liked Clark Johnson, enterprising Editor(and I do...Clark Johnson has got to be one of top Twenty Likeable Actors working these days)one thing you are absolutely right about is that Alma should be more connected to the story. And she would be relatively easy for a jerk like Templeton to...beguile, because, unlikeable as he is(to us, anyway) it's not like his whole career is bullshit. He could totally keep her intrigued with war stories, especially since, as a recent grad, she probably gets high off the smell of newsprint.

And of course Bushy Top got that Idea from some movie or lurid book...the culture is absolutely marinated in serial slayings at this moment.
