Just finished S3 of The Wire with my wife. Waiting not-so-patiently for tomorrow to catch the Deadwood end of fucking all.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Entertainment Weekly sucks cock by choice, in that their online things are subscribers only. I missed Deadwood too...also hip to "Why couldn't they wait?" not to be a fannish punk-assed bitch, or anything, especially as I was late to the fuckin' soiree and all. It must cost a lot...not that I mean that in a bad way. But that kind of period detail and stuff don't come cheap. But okay, *don't* run Monster-in-Law fifty million times...we'll all live.

I am not sure how I feel about the last ep of Deadwood.
I am actually a little anxious about Entourage right now. All the agents making the same pitches, and then Ari's pitch being the same, too - unexpectedly sad.

Well, I'm more pissed at HBO, that's for sure. That had a lot of loose ends for a season finale, let alone a series. Those DEADWOOD movies better happen, but, even if they do, there's a lot of ground to cover.
In a related note, I was watching some of the extras on the last disc of season 1 DEADWOOD, and it was interesting that Bullock later worked closely with/for Teddy Roosevelt, given that one of TR's claims to fame was taking on "captains" of industry not unlike Hearst.

Those extras were really interesting, weren't they? So many seem like afterthoughts because the audience has come to expect them. But then of course in Season 2's disc, Olyphant does a commentary that's completely silly(but it's worth a few minutes because it shows he's...like the anti-Bullock in real life.) Bullock reminded me of Tim Bayliss this season, some...though I'm not saying I need a I'd Shag Seth Bullock t-shirt.

Pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?

Yeah, that was an excellent line.

I love Charlie Utter. He was so awesome in the last one. Want one, not for fucking, to be my...lieutenant and stuff.

Punishingly Intricate
The Wire is the cover story of b'more's City Paper this week. There's also a story about the music on the show. I don't know how spoilery exactly (it does talk about this season's themes and says where some of the old characters are and introduces new characters).
As for Deadwood, poor Trixie. Poor little Jen. And poor Johnny.
