That one was fucking fantastic, erika, as well as being very accurate in most of the historical details.

Well, I'm glad to know that it's not being paced like snow melting doesn't mean they made up things...netflix reviewers were kind of quibbly. But HM makes a good queen so I was satisfied enough. Curious, though.

There were certainly nits to pick if you were so inclined but honestly, I think that Mirren and Irons so nailed the Elizabeth/Leicester dynamic that I couldn't argue with any of it. The supporting characters, Cecil and Walsingham were great, too.

Yeah, they were awesome. Of course poor Robin died painfully so I won't see him in disc two, which is a bummer. Like with Bill Hickock.

From the way back article on Deadwood:
Milch also addressed the anger that rose up among “Deadwood” fans when word leaked out last year that the show’s third season might be its last, in part due to Milch’s commitments to “John from Cincinnati,” a series about a surfing family’s encounter with a possible alien.
An alien? Like Mork?

OMG, y'all. Milch is using again. "This is an intervention, you coke-sniffing cocksucker." Okay..."interesting" premise, there.

I like the ads for John from Cincinnati. The premise doesn't grab me the way Deadwood did, but I am intrigued.
Of all the upsetting things happening on the Sopranos, it's the sound of duck calls while the guy dumps the asbestos that is haunting me.

I just caught up from ep 3 through last week's Sopranos. And damn, I don't know what when down last night, but last week's Sopranos was about the most tightly constructed episode I can recall.

I watched last week's and last night's one after the other, so let me take a moment to separate the two in my head.
Right. Yes. That was sharp and compelling. And the end completely took me by surprise but seemed almost inevitable once it had happened.

That was some dark shit. Did anybody else expect Homer's coyote spirit guide with the voice of Johnny Cash to appear for Tony?
I'm trying to think of the Maximum Pain Exit Strategy at this point. Maybe Meadow dying in Tony's arms on the opera house steps while the camera cranes back. Tony throwing a knife through Carm's throat? Antony ambushed at a toll plaza? Piano wire around Paulie's throat from behind in the car?
