" there is no law in Deadwood." I love that one line so much it's on my ipod shuffle :-) The comm on the finale is probably the best of the bunch. Molly Parker, Keith Carradine, and Robin Weighert, bless 'em, do better but there's sooo much "Oh, there's (actor)...he/she's so great." "Yeah, (actor) was really great. Oh, and here's (other actor). He/she's great, too!".
At one point, Tim O. says something to the effect of let's make sure people who bought this don't get their money's worth from our commentary. And I could be wrong, my impression was that he didn't see the greatness of the show, he just wanted to come in, say his lines, take direction, and get paid.
NNTAWWT, but some of the others could at least talk about how the characters felt to them, what they pulled from their memories to do an emotional scene, etc. He was like "yeah, that intense scene when I was in Al's face? I was talking to a piece of tape stuck to the wall at eye level."
And Milch, if you don't have the visual of how hard he's trying to get his gut-felt point across with his expressions and body language..he just sounds high-strung and kinda tweaky. The disc he does, though, where he's on the Deadwood set on the last disc...bring tissue.
Is it okay if I add you to my friend list? It seems there be many Deadwood fixes to be had here :-)
