And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm wondering if he can lose a finger. I've been carrying "I'm having mine served cold" as my tag for a while on another board, and that's one dish of revenge that can't come soon enough.

I fear that, like the acting troupe, Hearst's ultimate fate on the show (be it historically accurate or not) may have needed a fourth season to play itself out as Milch planned it. I'm curious if there is/was a way to have it play out as history did and still have the man lose in some substantial way.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

That's the rabbit I've been waiting to see pulled from the hat.

Yes. Unfortunately, there seems to be a herd of Bullwinkles running HBO.

I have heard that we are gonna see these people again, though. Not to sound like Jarry or anything, though, but I bet that show does cost a lot.(Won't be the same in big chunks like that, but...) Oh.(puts out peaches) At my meetings we have refreshments.

No, I am happy about that under the circumstances, but it's probably fucked the master plan pretty hard.

Oh, you mean, like arcs and shit? Yeah, those are probably fucked harder than the girls after a gold strike. But I trust the writing staff to minimize the damage.

I dunno. HBO's fucked this one up flatter than hammered shit.

I know, but I am biased. I know, were I in Albrecht's place, I'd give the Daves anything they wanted and then they couldn't have anything else but their shows. Not that there is anything wrong with that, besides making the Box Office name stupid.

Well, it is kinda weird that, essentially, they canceled one Milch show to service another. I don't understand why they didn't just start John from Cincinnati later.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Oooh. I haven't stopped by in a long time, but this shiny new thread is tempting. Between Rome, Deadwood, Entourage, and Slings and Arrows, practically all of our TV time now is spent in the premium end of the spectrum.

I was worried about Al getting too sweet & cuddly, actually, until he slit Hearst's man's throat.
