Oh, yeah...sorry bunk...wasn't there some pathetic third baseman he said he'd do to get to, like, the Oleson Twins? McShane is better than that. You're only human...I've totally felt like a bad feminist for having dirty Swergin thoughts, and before you even ask, I'm not writing about that!
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[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.
McShane is better than that. You're only human
whew!
You guys make me laugh.
Wait 'til you see our new routine where we juggle the severed heads of Native Americans.
My grandfather was half-dirt-worshipper, you know. Have some respect. That's okay, I'll use Fuzzy Dunlop.
Damn, was Rome good this week or what? I think the producers are determined to put Vorenus through every single walk of Roman life there was. And watching Pullo watch Vorenus going through the dark side, knowing it because he's already been there, and seeing how ill-equipped he is to deal with it...fascinating stuff. And the scene with Vorenus and Mark Antony! and Pullo shaving Vorenus! And Octavian growing some balls! I think I was vibrating with excitement through the whole thing.

So good! I had this half-baked idea comparing Vorenus to Mal Reynolds and about them both losing their faith in (or the love has turned to hate for) god/the gods. Mostly I was just shouting (in my head) "Vorenus is Mal! He's Mal!"

Hey, I didn't think of it like that. I kind of agree. But not completely, because Vorenus is such his own dude that all I can think of him as is Vorenus. And Vorenus is awesome.
Last night (before the TV crapped out), I finally watched Deadwood S2ep3 -- New Money. The one where Al spends the episode on the floor of his office in crippling pain, before Dan dougherty breaks the door down (bouncing off of it the first time) and the Doc crams a steel rod up his dingaling. My g-d that was the most moving, touching, funny, wince inducing episode yet!
So many great lines. Luckily, S fell asleep halfway through, so we'll be watching it again, and I can maybe take notes on good lines and other stuff.
Oh yeah, and then at some point soon is ep4 Requiem for a Gleet, which many here have noted as a major episode. I can't wait.
(Also, I think some people, maybe erika, have said parts of it are almost as hard to watch as the stuff when Kristin Bell and her brother get killed)
Also also, I pray I never get kidney stones. Ow.
