Still haven't seen the Deadwood finale, so I'm not reading any posts that appear to be about it.
rather than trying to get caught up with what's gone before. Madness?
I think you'll be ok this season. They seem to be starting mostly fresh.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Always Anti-fascist!
mos def. Still excited, though. Most shows that would piss me off, especially with one hottie dead and the other one going off to be a Big Movie Star Guest Appearance Guy(Although, DW, love ya I do, but looking at your filmic ouevre, what have you played but McNutty the Roguish Horndog With Self-Deprecating Super-secrit Heart Of Gold? Ok, sometimes you use your real voice. Don't get me wrong; I love the RH, etc. But you're not exactly stretching, are you, petal? Although if I were you, I'd count picking Julia over Maggie Gyllenhall as "Science fiction experience") But these characters are all so strong, I expect not to think about that too much. (OK, yes, my oost made me watch a Julia Roberts movie. I'm a total Pearlman. Happy now?) But something felt wrong about him PG-13. McNulty gets aphasia. Because not a "Fuck *me*" to be had.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, erika and Corwood. I will make the plunge, and somewitmes I will know what y'all are talking about.
I found The Corner just sitting there On Demand, too, I'm more than a little tempted to give that a watch.

The Corner's pretty good, but, to paraphrase a comment a friend said the other night, you never forget that you're watching a TV show with The Corner. With The Wire, it's like life; the artifice is more of a piece with the product.

You may have seen this already but there are 8 minutes synopsis of each Wire season on OnDemand right now. That should help some.

Thanks, lisah, I haven't seen that. Is that what that Wire Reup thing is? I'lll look for them.

Thanks! Although I could use less of that worm Tobolowsky, the worst actor on Deadwood and a true Bogdonovich-worthy shallow suck-up.

Bogdonovich-worthy shallow suck-up.
Hmm. How does that compare to a James-Lipton-worthy shallow suck-up?

More self-important interviews that bask in greatness via proximity, fewer actual on-camera surgical removals of lips from rectum.
