another deadwood marathon has come to an end. approximately 20 minutes per night since october. i think this was the 9th time that i've watched series and i can confidently say that it won't be the last. it usually starts the same way with me thinking, do i really want to watch this again? then i briefly become unstuck in time and the gorgeous montana wildhack whispers in my ear that it has already happened and that i have no say in the matter. who am i to tinker with the space time continuum?
but on the other hand that rascal kilgore trout is always whispering in my ear; "you were sick, but now you're well again, and there's work to do." of course kilgore is and was speaking of freewill. which begs the question, do any of us truly have freewill, or are we hardwired to propagate the species? maybe homosexuals are the only people with freewill.
for the first few seasons my favorite character was e.b. farnum, then it was jane cannery for a few years and this year i was entranced by jack langrishe. i would almost start laughing before jack began one of his soliloquies.
but rather than including a clip of jack langrishe waxing poetic, i chose a clip of my own death to pacify all those sensitive people in the cyber world whom i offended by offering my candid opinion of david bowie. i for one, saw through the emperors new clothes and was able to asses his talents on their own merits. so if you are a true fan of david bowie, sit back and enjoy my death. if you were not a true fan of david bowie, weep for me.
exchange forgiveness with me, noble bowie:
mine and my father’s death come not upon thee,
nor thine on me.
now sit back and prepare to WEEP FOR THE PILGRIM
i apologize to those of you who were brought to tears and i forgive those bowie fans who applauded my death.
so it goes.

Just 20 minutes a night? I'm impressed by your ability to ration. I'm sure you'd last a long time if the earth takes a hit from a big asteroid.
That fruitcake of a preacher lasted too long into the series.
gb - anything over 20 minutes gives me an overdose of bliss. a little bliss is nice but too much turns me into a sentimental babbling liberal.
bbc - that's not nice. you're king status is suspended until this wrong has been righted.
goog work when you can get it
wonder how much the whole series would cost.?
The complete first season costs about fifteen bucks at Walmart and it comes with an extra disc of interesting stuff.
bob - as maynard krebs would say, WORK???
js - i bought mine at amazon. about $50 for the complete set. they'd probably be cheaper in the good old u.s. i also bought a set on ebay and they were total shit, avoid ebay!!!
Hey, I heard they might make a movie to wrap up "Deadwood." But I'm wondering how they will do that since all the actors have aged 10 years or so since they wrapped up last.
I think some Bowie stuff is stupid, but so is any artist who works that long and tries to reinvent himself a million times to stay relevant. I give the dude credit.
But that's just me.
kenneth - i give him credit for being an immensely successful business man and probably a decent guy with a social conscience. i just never fell in love with his music.
I am with you BP on not being a fan of Bowie's music but the dude certainly knew how to make himself relevant through the years. And just in case you were wondering, I would certainly weep for you my friend, but I hope this isn't something we have to worry about for a long, long time. I look forward to many more years of blogging with you.
thank you for your support mr shife. now that i've finally got my pension figured out, i plan on collecting the son of a bitch for a long time.
My pension plan is the lotto ticket I bought yesterday.
i hope you win!
enjoy the moment is on the endangered species list, it may not be long for this world.
not dead yet.
