Regarding tonight's season's finale of "Deadwood", specifically Al Swearengen's soliloquy on love, betrayal, and commerce vis a vis his childhood:
Shakespeare, you scribbling cocksucker, bow down.
Al is in the fucking house.
Damn, I love that show.

Now. What are we going to do for the next months with no Deadwood? No Sol doing Trixie standing in the hardware (huh huh) store. No florid E.B.-isms. No Jewell explaining, "I'm knocked up." I guess we'll just have to "sally fucking forth" as best we can.

Posted by: Parkway Rest Stop at June 7, 2004 06:38 PMTake heart. The finale will be aired on June 13th.
Posted by: Parkway Rest Stop at June 7, 2004 06:45 PMHoly crap, Parkway, you are right! I was in mourning a week too soon!
And yes, for Al to be able to be so eloquent in the face of..... distraction (or whatever her name was) makes it all the more admirable.
