yeah, doesn't usually even work for militia men. But there's some hack writing a L&O about it right now, but it won't be fucking great.

My wife quit Deadwood after two episodes when I first tried to foist it upon her. This time I got her to commit to watching through the third before she decides whether to stick it out or give it up. She's hooked.

Mostly for me, because it was majorly graphic, and I was kind of stuck on "Really? A Western?" Not to speak for Mrs.Industries.

I think she was expecting Keith Carradine to clean up and be the hero of the show. That obviously didn't happen. I reminded her that he didn't fare too well in McCabe and Mrs. Miller, either.
