Deadwood Marathon

Spoilers for Deadwood up thru 1x04



Shit I can barely type.

Oh My God. It is freaking midnight and I have to go to work EARLY but there is no way I can't not watch the next episode and Killa warned me that I would need to block out some time. In all fairness to me - I tried to watch last night but the DVD player crapped out and I couldn't find the alternate one until I cleaned today. Hey - now I have a clean house!

BUT!!!!

BILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I have decided that Seth's mention of a wife and family in Michigan is merely his cover story as he is clearly married to Saul. Clearly.

Also he is protective of Saul. As we all should be. I would like to cuddle Saul but not Seth. No, Seth - while I adore him - there is obviously something not right about him. It's in his eyes - that hint of insanity, just waiting. I wanted to scream at Charlie when he was wondering what it was that Seth has that Bill does not - what it is that keeps Seth intact and functioning while Bill self-destructs, since Bill and Seth are cut from the same cloth - I wanted to scream and in fact may have at my television, the only witness being Sid, the difference is SAUL!

And now I must go and watch episode five and attempt to calm myself down so I am not completely useless tomorrow.

I love that you're watching this show. Carry on.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

You need to watch as well. Come visit me.

Oh, I watched it as it aired. I'm jealous that you have it on hand, as I did not record from DVR to tape (something about feeling like videotapes are *so* 2002 for me) nor did I download it (because I was watching it already on my TV, see?). Stupid dumb stupid. It will be mine.

You need to watch it...again. Come visit me.

heh heh heh heh heh

Don't gloat.

[luminosity]

Nobody says "fuck" like Al, huh? He says "fuck" with the same panache as George Carlin says "bullshit." The MASTER.

[gloating quietly]

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Al scares and fascinates me. I start hating him and then he cracks me up against my will and then he terrifies me and sometimes it is all at the same time.

[renenet.livejournal.com]

Yes! I went round and round and round in my reactions to Al all. season. long! He just gets more and more fascinating.

[luminosity]

He's kinda like Anya said. He's so awful and bad that he doesn't have to lie about anything really. I like that, and it creeps me out.

Another one bites the dust...

[swahiligrl.livejournal.com]

Mwhahahahaha! Yes, yes. Another has been converted to the crack that is Deadwood. Before you know it, you'll be making icons and changing your LJ layout to suit the whims of Seth, Al, Alma, and Doc Cochran. Don't believe me? See what it has done to me? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/swahiligrl)

It breaks my heart. Charlie wants so badly to be Bill's Saul, but Bill won't/can't let him.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

God - I watched up thru 1x06 last night and Charlie not being able to go to Bill's grave at first and then unable to finish telling the story and asking for Jane's permission to stop. CHARLIE!!!

But Seth and Saul are killing me in a total opposite way - Saul packed Seth's bag when he rode out after McCall. Saul saved the finishing touches on the store for Seth to do! Saul takes care of him and just *watches* him constantly and keeps him this side of sane. And Seth - right after Bill has asked him to back him up in a possible gunfight - tells Saul to move away. Why did it take so long for me to watch this show??

You should write fic.

[renenet.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. The number of times I replayed the scene of Saul and Seth before Seth rides out after McCall....

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Yes!! The brief handshake and the embrace that was all in the eyes and then Saul slaps the horse as it leaves and then HIS FACE!!

::relives it in cubicle::

[renenet.livejournal.com]

And before?! When Seth is about to go tearing off and puts his vest on before pulling his suspenders up and Saul quietly points it out and Seth is so *pissed* at being thwarted. That's when he asks Saul to pack his bag for him, I think. Something about the bag. I didn't just watch it last night. ::sob:: ::relives version in my head at this desk anyway::

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

YES! Seth is just so angry and incapable of dressing himself and Saul just quietly stands there and is all strong for him and then mentions his suspenders and YOU KNOW this is not the first time Seth has been blinded by his temper and you know that the only thing that has held it in check this long is SAUL.

Yay! I'm so. glad you're watching this. I never thought the word cocksucker could be used so beautifully and in so many ways

[vagabondage.livejournal.com]

WooHoo Deadwood!!!

Dude, Jane... I'm so crazy for Jane, I can't even begin. It is my life long goal to swear as effectively and eloquently as Jane.

And Al, OMG I am so very enamored with Al! I've had a thing for Ian McShane for years (Lovejoy), but I love him best as Al.

I'm so happy you're watching this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

JANE!! I just want to take her and put her where she is appreciated and valued and not alone because Jane is such good people - and while I am there let her know that she will be a legend. JANE!!

Also - terrified of Al. Trixie is probably one of my current favorite characters at this point (ep 6) exp considering Bill is gone

::weep::

[debchan.livejournal.com]

Jane! Yes! All must love Jane!
