Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Y'know, I hated the first one of those Louis CK shows that I saw (which may have been the very first episode), but I saw another one recently and liked it.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I'm glad it got better, but Mr. C.K. would have to give me Idris Elba's home number to get a half-hour of my time again.

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

So I just went to the Wikipedia entry for Deadwood, and I didn't realize that every single fucking character is based on a real person. Huh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Really? I hadn't realized that Any of the women were, aside from Mrs. Bullock and Calamity Jane? Interesting.

Well, I didn't go looking for more names, but you're right that I didn't see any of the women besides those. I was more surprised that nearly all of the men were real people. With all the same names. I had no idea that the town of Deadwood was so notable that they would pull specific people for the show.

I totally forgot that I was actually vaguely spoiled about that because of something Plei said in a post. I've been mainlining all weekend to get through the series.

And then there was all that tense music and everyone was running around with guns and Trixie shot Hearst and I didn't know who else was going to get it. Hearst better get murderized soon, the dirty bastard.

WHAT THE FUCK ELLSWORTH NOOOOO.

Yeah, that pretty much summed up Deadwood nation's reaction. Poor noble bastard.
