LOS ANGELES (May 12) - The upcoming third season of HBO's "Deadwood" might
mark the end of the dark Western.
The pay cable network has opted not to pick up the options of the actors on
the show, releasing them to pursue other projects.
"Deadwood" creator David Milch is shifting his attention to "John From
Cincinnati," a one-hour project he is writing for HBO. The surfing-themed
drama has been ordered as a pilot, subject to finalizing deals on the
financial and talent side.
HBO sources said there are conversations about the future of "Deadwood"
beyond the third season, which premieres June 11. But with the actors moving
on to other commitments, it is highly unlikely that all the main cast
members would be available to do additional episodes in the future.

Apparently 'Big Love' has earned a wide audience, seeing
that it's already got the green light for another season,
and has received many fine reviews. But showing it right
after 'The Sopranos' does seem to make strange bedfellows.
I remember when 'Six Feet Under' started out. I've never
been a big fan of melodramatic "soap opera" series, which
is why I vastly prefer intense action dramas which include
wholesale death, murder, kidnapping, rape, torture, disease,
earthquakes, plagues, alien invasions, demonic hauntings and
possessions, black witchcraft, voodoo curses, blood, guts,
gore, destruction, hellfire, eternal damnation...all those
wonderfully entertaining elements that make for great TV
(i.e. one reason I've always DVR-to-DVD'd every episode
of 'Most Haunted', 'Ghost Hunters', 'Ghost Towns', etc.,
since that's the real deal, real murder, real damnation).
But after watching the first season of 'Six Feet Under',
I really began to appreciate its depth and originality.
It seemed to improve with each season, until the final
episode which basically was the best single television
episode of any series since television began--bar none.
Will 'Big Love' get there eventually? Not likely, but
the premier episode was quite good. Then the next few
episodes seemed a bit lacklustre by comparison. Then it
started to pick up again. I enjoy watching it now, and
apparently so do millions of other HBO subscribers, too.
You can't please everybody. For example, there are actually
some souls out there who don't watch '24' or 'The Sopranos';
they didn't watch 'Rome', or 'Carnivale'; many people don't
watch 'House', or 'Prison Break', or 'Criminal Minds', etc.
Go figure. By stark contrast, how does 'America Idol' earn
such stellar ratings? It's definitely not my cup of tea, but,
unlike some people, I don't go around criticizing shows that
I never watch. You can always change the channel, or hit the
off button, if you don't like a particular television show.
A lot of people apparently didn't enjoy ABC's recent movie
'Fatal Contact: Bird Flu in America'. That movie was so good
I was channel-flipping to 'House' only during the commercial
breaks! And yet the movie got bad ratings. I guess that some
people are uncomfortable with subject matter that deals with
death and dying, global pandemics and catastrophic upheavals,
heaven and hell, gods and devils, eternity, chaos, elections,
religions, the eternal battle of Armageddon etc ad infinitum.
They don't know what they're missing. Are they cowards, maybe,
or just milquetoast Liberals who're afraid of their own dark
shadows?...('Dark Shadows' was the best soap opera ever made). :-D
Enjoy!

Yes, my faithful servant, your little sick soul possessed of me and my
minions, I am greatly gratified in learning your mind, or what's left
of it, has been imbedded with the love for human cruelty, violence,
mass suffering, and murder. Keep watching the tube -- it is my greatest
conduit for reaching out to the masses and..."entertaining" them.

And no wonder. You have to be a brain-dead religious moron to persuade
yourself otherwise, and even some of those seem to be waking up at long
last.

I've used the same phrase, 'waking up' :)
This wonderful quote was on teh usenets:
"A little patience and we shall see the reign of witches pass over,
their spells dissolve, and the people recovering their true sight,
restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the
meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of
a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt. But if the game
runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns,
and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we
have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."
-Thomas Jefferson

Suddenly from Astro guesser and all round Republican right wing
