'Shindig'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Doris Day's portrayl of Calamity Jane has always been definitive for me.
Ah! Yes, that would do it. A Doris Day Jane is about as far away from Deadwood's Jane as you can get. I'm sure I have similar examples of that sort of thing, but I can't think of any in my current, bleary, not quite awake yet state.
And, you know, I watched it again when Gale Harold came on, because I have such love for my former Brian Kinney, but it just. Didn't grab me. Which is kind of sad, because usually I am right there with the shows people love at the time, but I just could never put it together right for Deadwood, I guess. That happened with Lost, too. I couldn't be arsed to watch it after, like, episode four.
a dimwitted moron with no capacity for greater love and emotion than a puppy dog.
Oh, this kills me. I don't think you saw Robin Weigart's portrayal of Jane in anything close to the same light I did.

seriously.
Yeah. Jane's troubled, but she can be deep. You didn't see her nurse somebody through smallpox.
Stands with Corwood, lisa, and erika. We're very pretty.
Seriously, though, it took several eps for me to get to the Jane love. The first couple of eps would have left me with the same impression as SA.

Squee! Can't wait to get to these eps!! If only he could get it on with Bullock...

oh they came close. sort of.

No, I did. (Or the episodes with the girl-child who was orphaned and sick.) And it still didn't do it for me.

::shrug:: I watched through episode seven of the first season and couldn't get past it.
Really, I didn't mean to come in here and piss all over your show. Sorry, guys.
That's okay...you expected more heroic...less feet of clay. I can get that.
Best line of last night's Deadwood ep (on DVD, of course) from E.B.:
I've been prostrated by the agonies of the damned.
