I hope you enjoy it. The last episode of S2 was the first one I saw, and it sure as hell spurred me to go back and catch up, like, immediately.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

I started watching with Season 2 as well and was really gripped(no, duh, right) even when I thought of characters as things like Wise Older Cop With Glasses. That's kind of an achievement, don't you think?

Oh, Sobotkas. The woe is just so huge. Everyone is so fucked, none of the crap stops. Argh.
Stupid battery, depriving me of Season 3 instant gratification.

I was born my papa's son
A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun
Now some of you would live through me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Or just find a place to hide away
Hope that I'll just go away
I feel alright – I feel alright tonight
I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines and
Conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
I feel alright – I feel alright tonight
I got every thing you want or need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Be careful what you wish for friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again
But I feel alright – I feel alright tonight

Sorry for the Steve Earle quotage. I think that season-ending montage is still just a stunning piece of filmmaking that somehow makes being set to a three-minute pop song into an overwhelming strength, a way of underlining the class warfare that it indicts.
Edit: MAN, I'm tired. Starting to sound like Noam Chomsky over here, and not in the good way. 'Night, y'all.

Finally got finished with the second season of DEADWOOD. Interesting how Milch decided to re-adjust George Hearst from the way he was in his initial appearence.
I haven't checked recently, but is the cocksucking third season on DVD yet? I've seen all the episodes, but the completist in me won't let me not buy it.

Steve Earle is in some of the eps, isn't he?

Sorry about the 3rd season not being out yet, Frank. Fuckin' HBO always holds onto DVD releases until the last minute like a consortium of goddamn misers counting their Judas silver.

Actually, from poking around it looks like it will be out in June. I also noticed HBO is still re-running season 3, so I may catch a few of those, but I mainly just want it for completion (and some toaster people of mine who don't get HBO will be wanting to borrow them as well).
