Deadwood

[Dillinger4]

That didn't coincide with puberty did it?

It was Daisy Duke in my day.

Yes.

Yes it did.

 

[Voley]

Yes.

Yes it did.

 

[Melinda]

I liked her. She's about 7 % responsible for me being a badass. Strapping Australian I think.


Where was that show supposed to be set btw? I remember everyone having completely different accents.

 

[DotCommunist]

So, I assume that you're a closet (no homophobia intended) fan of SATC, dotty?

nah, but then that show wasn't aimed for my demographic.

 

[Dillinger4]

He is definitely a secret fan, I reckon.

 

[Melinda]

I bet he's seen more episodes than not.

 

[The Octagon]

Deadwood is brilliant, Timothy Olyphant gets props from me for being able to clench for almost the entire run of the show.

Must have hurt.

 

[Lionman]

^^^^^^^

He walks like a thunderbird. Arms straight down by his sides & no movement in the entire upper body.

But for me it's all about Doc.

I like that. There is something a bit menacing in it.

 

[Lionman]

It always kind of bugged me but I guess he is supposed to be pretty uptight so it works in the context.

Going on my recently cemented conviction that HBO are incapable of making a bad show, I decided to watch this despite not being a big fan of westerns.

First two eps are and this will definetly keep me going till new true blood/being human/doctor who.

I loved the first series, but for some reason had nothing like the same enthusiasm for the second.

 

[The Octagon]

The 2nd Season was fantastic, the 3rd Season was not as good (but still great TV, and boasted a fantastic performance by the guy playing George Hearst).

 

[Jon-of-arc]

bumped as I just watched the first episode, after managing to borrow it off of someone. So far, it's good. The language/accents are a bit impenetrable, but that's my only complaint. Top show...

 

[Orang Utan]

Deadwood's better than The Wire

 

[Orang Utan]

I want Deadwood whiskers

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Deadwood's better than The Wire

I was gonna mention that show, as it is my wire replacement for the moment. But I thought we might get through an HBO related thread without bringing it up...

You're wrong, though. After watching just one episode of Deadwood, I can categorically say that the wire is the best goddam TV show of the last 200 years, and the next 200 years.

 

[Orang Utan]

you've only watched one!

 

[Jon-of-arc]

you've only watched one!

yeah, but I've seen every episode of the wire. which says it all, really.

 

[kerb]

He is very good in it.

Without sounding like pompous arse, there's something Shakespearean about him. His monologues and the way he analyses people and his situation and how it affects him is awesome (i know there's a better word for it than that)

He and it are amazing. Absoultey love Deadwood

but he's no Omar...

not really

 

[kerb]

but he's no Omar...

Was he in deadwood?

 

[Jon-of-arc]

irony, anyone? that bit about "hoping we could get through a thread without mentioning how great the wire is"? OK, not that funny, but not that subtle, either

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Deadwood's easier to get into than The Wire, but after a while it starts to lose its novelty value, whereas the Wire is tough to start with, but then really grips you...

[Dillinger4]

fucking cocksuckers

 

[DotCommunist]

I got as far as ep 3 or four but shiny things distracted me.

This bumpage encourages me to download moar

 

[lostexpectation]

anybody watching kings?

 

[The Octagon]

anybody watching kings?

I was planning to, but it's been cancelled by NBC, so not sure if I should bother now.

Cocksucker! San Francisco Cocksucker!
