they gave him an out to produce 6 episodes to give the series a graceful (as graceful as deadwood could be!) end, and he simply said no.
Keepcoolbutcare wrote:Couple of things...maybe Milch is holding out hope that HBO will be inundated with enough fan bitching to cave in and extend that olive branch of 6eps. to a full 12. Doubtful, what with the sets being torn down, but if the third season sees an increase in viewership, it's a possibility.
Or, maybe Milch really feels that a 6 episode arc wouldn't be enough to fulfill his planned conclusion, and doesn't want to shortchange the fans with a rushed / forced ending...if that's the case, I kinda respect that.
Sad fucking news, regardless.

I can definitely see the potential for something awesome, but I got the impression that they're just finding their legging with this first ep.

The saloon owner is pretty cool, and Brad Dourif as the doctor is a nice little bonus.
And until I looked up the name, I thought Timothy Olyphant was Michael Biehn, but looking young for some reason.

And the one thing upon which everyone agreed was that the profanity and obscenity was astounding. It was overwhelming. People who would visit would report that they simply couldn't believe the way people spoke out there.
…the idea of community without law, of how people comport themselves in the absence of any governing principle is fundamental to the conception of the show. And the language, the lawlessness of the language is, first of all, something that I hope people will get used to, but it establishes an atmosphere, verbally, in which anything is possible. It is rejection of everything, except brute force.

the profanity, the Shakespearean tone, or both?
I don't think it's a stretch to say that people, even the dregs of 1870's society, spoke the King's English far better than their socioeconomic counterparts of today. Maybe not to that extent, but Milch, former English professor at Yale (and according to IMDB, frat brother of Dubya!), spent over a year researching the town and era. Having myself read several "authentic frontier" letters from around that period, it's a wee bit theatric, but the versimilutde is at times just spot on.
As for the 'cussin, Milch has said the following...And the one thing upon which everyone agreed was that the profanity and obscenity was astounding. It was overwhelming. People who would visit would report that they simply couldn't believe the way people spoke out there.

man, i LOVE that show. it is a running gag now for me to say "you know, this show is better than most movies" during every episode i watch when my wife is in the room. fact is, its true. as rough and harsh as it is, imo it also has more heart and depth and insight into the human condition than most "serious' dramas too. how many hollywood movies have that level of writing, direction, and acting? name another actor who commands the screen the way Ian McShane does as Swearengen. the soundtrack is great too and one of my favorite cd's i have bought in the last couple years. i tell ya, i LOVE that show.
