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.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

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.

I'm thinking I will just go ahead and watch the Wire specials this Sunday and go ahead and jump in with the new season (taking advantage of this crazy "see it first On Demand" thing they're doing"), rather than trying to get caught up with what's gone before. Madness?

Oh, also, loved that Al remembered where Jen's sister was working from when Morgan Earp was trying to scam a free lay. Strangely touching.

Oh it was indeed. I wonder why Al picked Jen as the sacrifice? I can't remember Johnny's quote exactly (except that she hadn't burned her bedding) but she clearly was not a troublesome employee and killing her could have also lost him Johnny's loyalty. She looked vaguely enough like Trixie (slender, blond) but I can't get over the feeling that Jen was killed for the sake of the drama rather than for a logical reason.

I assumed it was the resemblance. A lot of the girls were rounder and darker, or so it seems from my mental image of the various gatherings of whores.
