I envy you your first viewing of S2 episode 4. Envy may not be the right word, but I'm not sure what word conveys my complicated emotions about that episode. Although these emotions are not entirely pleasant, they are net positive, and the reason I watch the show in the first place.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Yes, well, the episode title has given me a certain amount of...anticipation is not quite the right word, but it will have to do.

Ack! I can't remember what happens! Must rewatch someday.
Anybody else excited for Rome to start back up?

I wish that I had taken notes while watching Deadwood now, but how many times should a grown woman write "whoa!" So I didn't. But that means I don't remember what happened in each one.

The title of S2E4 is "Requiem for a Gleet." Remember it now?

Can I assume the "not entirely pleasant" part refers at least in part to the introduction of Jarry (who I thought was quite effective here, but I can see why he'd annoy by the time he turned up in season 3)? All in all a very good episode. Doc thanking Al was one of those great uncomfortable moments of grace that this show does so well. Also, note to anyone: don't put undo stress on Dan Doherty - it won't end well.

My every recollection of Deadwood is not pleasant, if by pleasant, you mean, say, restful and you can turn your brain off and watch and fold laundry in confidence that love will conquer all. But I enjoy it anyway.ETA: Although at first, I found it kind of...nasty. But you totally have to watch Ian McShane, even as you hate him. And it's nice sometimes, when you're broke like me and you feel that your life is not working in some way, not to be again watching pretty people you envy get off, which of course sells a lot of soap to the hooples. Once I stayed, I found more to appreciate, but I'm talking about initial impressions.(And apparently, I'd been waiting my whole life for the word "hooplehead" but I didn't know.)

I just got my mother addicted to Dexter.
Not sure she's ready for Deadwood, though.

Anybody else excited for Rome to start back up?
I am, but I don't have HBO so I didn't watch last night. Am attempting to gain access through other means as we speak.
I am already very much NOT happy about the recasting of Octavian. I don't care if Master-and-Commander-boy was too young, he was perfect, damnit.
