I just rewatched the miniseries The Hatfield’s and McCoys. It stars Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton but our man Powers Boothe plays Judge Wall Hatfield. A pretty good watch gritty and violent. Ole Devil Anse might give Al a good run for his money.

Can someone who speaks the language advise what hang dai actually means, and what language is Wu speaking? Thanks.

I'm on my something-teenth rewatch and always seem to forget this absolute peach (pun intended) of a line from Johnny Burns. It's in the episode thst lends its concept to our rule no.7.

"If you ain't ett dessert yet, don't."

Not the most obviously funny line, but God does it scratch my itch.

Man do they LOVE to throw the LNG title around about Samuel Fields. Especially when he and Jane are sitting outside drinking. it has never bothered me before, but I am watching with my wife, and I think it really took her by surprise.

(great episode by the way. Complications is definitely a fun turning point for a lot of plot lines)

Little detail I noticed, once the reverend began ranting. The doc watches him closely, examining so as to confirm an oncoming seizure. Confirmed later in the scene as the doc utters his speculations. Excellent writing and acting as always. What a great fucking show.

Can I request a picture of the band please if anyone has one?

Those Pinkerton cocksuckers were all over Deadwood and now they just showed up in Boardwalk Empire. Can’t get away from these guys.

Wolcott and The Reverend

This scene always cracks me up. The terrified look from this drummer after Cy scolds him is great.

“Your proposal offends me completely; it mistakes my nature absolutely.”

I have no idea what # rewatch im on, but it would definitely be considered unhealthy. Anyway, during this rewatch I noticed (for the first time) that Bullock watches Tom's Big Ride standing next to the Soap (With A Prize Inside) Guy, and even seems to smile at him after Tom succeeds. Has to be the only time Bullock is nice or civil to that guy, right?

What is this nasty unraveling fibrous textile we see inside the Doc's office and that makes up the roof of the pest tent? is it the same shit that Ned Mason's god awful atrocity of a hat was made of? Did gigantic eldritch arachnoids spin it out their non- Euclidean asses? What the Christ is it?

One more for the board:

What time of day is best to "talk"? In the peace of the evening, in the stillness after the day. Or in the morning, in the quiet before each taking up their work? Both can be pleasant occasions for such intercourse.

Reading the brilliant "Munichs" by David Peace, author of "The Damned United". This is a fictionalised account of the Munich Air disaster of 1958 in which 8 Manchester United players died. In this passage, Neil, the young son of Johnny Berry (who is critically injured and in hospital) is looked after by family friends.

What's the Deadwood link?
