Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs) rocks. I loved her in ZERO EFFECT.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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
That's history, man.
GF would tell me stuff about the real Deadwood and I'd be like, "No historical spoilers!" Same for the Tudors.

I'm doing the same thing now about John Adams (which I keep wanting to call The Adams Family ). Not about the big stuff (like that he becomes president, der) but mostly about whether all his kids survive to adulthood. They are adorable!

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

So what's up with the real Deadwood? I mean, obviously, no historical spoilers, please, but why did it get a show based on it?

Because it was a mining camp and because Milch was intrigued by a lawless society. He actually first pitched a show about Roman centurions. (/ the Daves like carrots)

And where it's that Wild Bill met his untimely and inglorious end. As you now know. But as a result, that's where Calamity ended up, amongst a host of a number of other interesting other cocksuckers.
There seems to be no way I can not add that cocksucking word when talking about the show.

The Wire:
The Quantico profile really does sound like Jimmy."a high-functioning alcoholic who has difficulty in relationships, but a real need to prove his intellectual superiority." Dude. Profiling works.
I also thought there was a real similiarity between the way Clay Davis describes his role and what Bushy Top is doing at the police department. Deadwood: Jane was one of my favorites.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's a point where the parallels between McNulty and Carcetti, both trying to make the system do some good and getting torn apart by the machinery, are just beautiful.
Eta: and I didn't see it directly myself, but, yeah, Clay Davis, too.

Well, yeah, the parallel between Carcetti and McNutty is more accurate, since Clay Davis' is a bigger lie.But in his own head, it's the same thing.
