I often have to scan Heather's articles as they often try experimental writing that in my old age have trouble following. But here on Deadwood, she hits the perfect mix of information, opinion, and homage to the subject.
Deadwood is one of the best of HBO's allowing a vision to take fruit, a vision that astounds episode to episode. It would be nice if that vision was allowed to play out as Deadwood's characters get drowned by the inevitable march of progress and civilization.
