nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
Just finished it, and god loving drat, what a show. It's a crime that it was cut short the way it was, I'm not ready to leave. I kinda want to start over immediately, I'm pretty sure there's about 10,000 awesome things I missed.

All the characters are pretty great, but I think I love Doc the most.

Comparisons can probably be made, but the dialogue and acting in Deadwood are light years ahead of GoT.

I heard it was a pretty awesome show but never watched it mostly because it was cancelled and I didn't want to put myself through that kind of frustration.

Yeah I just saw one of those power fantasy shows where every character is some super badass tough motherfucker but because of the people making it it's "prestige" so it's ok for the arthouse crowd to pretend they're just not living out a Cowboy fantasy when they watch it.

just kidding I do believe Deadwood is a genuinely good show; it just never connected with me

There is that aspect, but what I found most interesting was the setting itself. It actually felt like a community, and off the top of my head I can't really think of any other show that pulls it off to that extent, except possibly The Wire. Just incredibly immersive.

I can tell it's well made, and has good actors and stories and poo poo, but I'm all like "this poo poo so white" and I'm a cool urban dude so I just go out and rather dance and be cool

Dead wood is excellent kindling, and great for keeping a fire going. It's easy to find, and the only downside is that it can be damp. However it can be dried out easily if you place it near your fire.

Great show, great characters, except for Trixie. I wish Al killed her instead of the prostitute that kind of looked like her.

Wu was criminally underused in the later seasons. "SWINGEN COCKSUCKA. SWINGEN COCKSUCKA.".

Show loving ruled, though.

I had no problem with Trixie. She had some great lines, and I totally bought her as a character even if she wasn't necessarily someone I'd want to hang out with. I think just about the only character who sometimes fell flat for me was Bullock

Wu is the best, the actor did so much with like, four words. All his scenes with Swingen are loving gold.

When he was pissed about something Hearst did but he couldn't tell his wife and was just fuming with rage at dinner and had to just show it with his eyes. In fact everyone seemed to be acting with mostly their eyes on that show. Mainly Brad Dourif. He was just all eyes and frustration.

The first scene of the show tells us that he's an unbending man of stone. His equanimity is only spoiled because he gets so loving angry.
