In all seriousness, very glad you finally hit up on the Deadwood. I’m a big fan for many reasons, some of which you mentioned, but one of my favorite bits (and alluded to in the last disc of extra interviews) is the use of flowerly Victorian prose salted with colorful nasty language.

I meant “Cy Tolliver.” Why did I call him “George Hearst”? The hell is wrong with me?

Also:

“What if I come for you? You ready for that?”
“I guess I’d better be.”
“Then close your fuckin’ store, ’cause being ready for me’ll take care of your wakin’ hours, and you’d better have someone to hand the task off to when you close your fuckin’ eyes.”

I’ve seen every Deadwood episode at least twice — George Hearst doesn’t appear until the last episode of season 2, I’m pretty sure.
