What compels
a grown man
to strip naked
in a room
with other men
and then engage
another nude man
in a wrestling match
naked.
I walked into this scene

Fucking Deadwood
is one of the three best shows
on television today

in 1995. Back when Skerski was still alive
and he and Kohler drove that golf cart
from [...]

I was so disgusted with last night’s “series finale” that I couldn’t post. Now, I know you’re going to tell me that there are still eight more episodes (to be aired in January, 2007) but these were touted as “bonus” episodes which, to me, means that the series should have wrapped up last night [...]
