He mentions in an earlier episode that his brother is epileptic as well, so you understand why he would have sympathy for the preacher. And that wink! That’s a great moment to focus on.

Started watching again from the beginning, up to 110, and there really are so many fantastic lines and small asides. Best dialogue in TV history still, probably.

This time around I’ve been reading Sepinwall’s reviews along with the series - https://uproxx.com/topic/deadwood-review/ - and Jim Beaver, the actor who plays Ellsworth, shows up in the comments for basically every episode to give his own recollections. It’s super interesting.

That Corinthians quote really is one of the most important things in the whole series. It’s basically the entire mission statement behind the show.

Apparently Milch is involved to some degree on True Detective season 3, which has me tentatively excited even with the knowledge that apparently Nic Pizzolatto continues to have "creative differences" with his directors.

He co-wrote one episode.

I really, really liked John From Cincinnati. Underrated imo

Yeah Justified is a killer show even though s5 wasn’t great. And I agree that 2 and 4 are the best seasons.

The cool dude drug dealer (who turns out to not be quite as cool as he seems) from Go

Go was such a fun film.

I saw Go during an all-night mystery movie screening* back in August. I’d never heard of it before and it was surprisingly good, even if describing it to someone would make it sound like Pulp Fiction Jr.

* so the idea was we had no idea what any of them would be until they started. the other four were After Hours, The Odd Couple (dude had just died), Rollerball, and Rumble in the Bronx

I can't imagine the pressure (and fun) they had in the writer's room for this new script... :sweatdrop:

I imagine it was probably just Milch by himself praying it would be good enough and make enough money to pay off his gambling debts

Same! I really liked the first season, but they apparently couldn't even film a scene at a diner without half a dozen horses snapping their legs.

In all fairness, horses are idiots who will die at the slightest provocation

He juggled!

Finished the series, definitely up there with the best shows of all time, even if s3 did have a tendency to become a weird shaggy dog story at times and spend too much time on some less interesting characters. Can’t wait for the movie!

That was absolutely wonderful. I wish it had been another hour longer (or, y’know, ten hours) because a couple of parts were too rushed, but overall it was a fantastic send-off and more than deserving conclusion to one of the best shows ever.

Al being so weakened and useless throughout might be a disappointment to some, but I found it very moving, especially considering Milch clearly put so much of him and his own issues into it.

Hearst’s ending is perfect. We knew he would never get full comeuppance - he won’t be in that prison long at all - but seeing all the parts of the body (to quote the late reverend) come together to give him the kicking he deserves was extremely satisfying.

Fantastic arcs for Bullock, Trixie, and Jane. The moment where Jane credits her saving of Bullock to Bill’s spirit and Joanie tells her “That was you” was maybe my favourite individual moment of the entire thing (possibly tied with the final line?).

I’m so happy this finally got made.
