Buffistas

Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Matt Fraction has a few observations about the pilot script for "John From Cincinatti."

Were I a betting man, I'd bet that as that first end-title card rises up, there'll be a collective WHAT THE FUCK that maybe TV hasn't seen since Dale Cooper carved his wooden whistle.

The sample stage direction just kills me.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Mmm, pie.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Cicero going quietly and with dignity into his death, Pullo more concerned about peaches than killing a guy.

Cicero's death scene is one of my favorite things on TV ever. It was just perfect.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It was sort of shocking to me. The quiet acceptance, Pullo's grim but calm professionalism then all the blood. Gah. Too perfect.

All of that plus Pullo's "Ooh, peaches!" moment. I mean, could I love this show any more? Could I?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Great episode of Rome!

Random thought: is cinnamon making Cassius sneeze a Deadwood shoutout? Especially with peaches featuring so prominently.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wouldn't be surprised.

Punishingly Intricate

I heard a snippet of the Deadwood theme on Morning Edition while I was getting ready to take my shower this morning but couldn't hear what it was connected to and, as far I can tell from the npr site, there was no Deadwood-centric story this morning. It's driving me a little crzy!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I heard the same thing - it was the lead-out on a story about internment camps for undocumented immigrants. I was all NOT THAT KIND OF CAMP which may have been a little violent for that hour of the morning... Or not, for the subject matter.

Those camps are horrible (of course) but that's kind of funny. Which pretty much sums up Deadwood.
