What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
GF would tell me stuff about the real Deadwood
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.

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.

I think you are right about that. Food for thought.

Oh, and I forgot. I so loved Munchkin drinking with Mello and Editor! Clark Johnson.(not the greatest char. as I can't remember his name. Sorry, clark!) Made of fuckin' *win*, yo. MKW didn't get a death scene. Which is totally Wire-ish, but if I were him, I might feel bad. I love MKW. Am torn about everybody finding the Wire. I love that it gets love and all, but it's not very often I'm in on something before it's played out. I loved the secret handshake aspect of a tiny fandom...ah, well, it's all in the Game.

Sniff. It's all over. And why introduce Alma if she wasn't a part of things? Most definitely agree with Corwood that it would have brought the newsroom scenes to life and given Templeton more dimension. But the actual last episode? I thought was brilliant.
