Tredje sæson af HBO serien “Deadwood” starter på de amerikanske tv-skærme 12. juni. Men der er noget der tyder på, at det måske bliver seriens sidste.
Der er endnu intet officielt bekræftet fra HBO, men ingen af seriens skuespillere har fået deres kontrakt fornyet til en fjerde sæson. Desuden har skaberen af serien, David Milch, påbegyndt arbejdet på en ny serie for HBO, “John From Cincinnati”, der bliver beskrevet som “surfing noir”.
Milch sagde ved westernseriens start, at den maksimalt kunne vare i fire sæsoner, da virkelighedens Deadwood brændte efter kun fire år i 1879.

Krydser stadig fingre, men uden Milch's magiske hånd, ingen Deadwood! Og hvad fanden, surfing noir ... NOIR. Vi fortsætter jo bare et andet sted :)
PS: Swearengen døde i 1899, skudt ned på en togstation. Havde håbet på, det ligesom kunne have afsluttet serien.
Du er tilgívet Tiny. Men jeg ville skaffe mig et politi tilhold hvis jeg var dig! ;)

Jeg har læst en del om Deadwood på nettet. Det er en facinerende historie, og jeg gad fanme godt at besøge Bills grav.
Det bliver flot, når man har alle ses. på hylden :)

Dan Dority aka W. Earl Brown skriver på HBO forum:
Having not slept for much of last night, I sit staring bleary-eyed at my computer. That phone call last evening floored me. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I see it coming.
I feel cheated.
I am cheated as an person because the way I was brought up a man's word is his bond. We were given word in Dec. that we'd be back for a fourth season. A formal annoucement of that fourth season was trumpeted in the press in March. Lives were planned accordingly.
I am cheated as an artist because something that I poured my lifeblood into has been given short-shrift and not allowed to conclude properly.
I am cheated as a fan because the verbally fleet and intricately plotted show shall just cease to be. It will just stop. No wrap up. No farewells.
It isn't like DEADWOOD had a tiny audience. No, our ratings -- based on what I've read -- were good, better than all HBO shows but one. They were not SOPRANOS huge, but then again, SOPRANOS did not become the cultural phenomenon until it's third season.
This is not the fault of David Milch. Given his druthers, he would never just leave a show hanging like this. I feel nothing but gratitude toward his largess. As for the coporate bean-counters...
It has been a high-water mark of my career. I seriously doubt I will ever again be a part of something so unique, so daring, and so special. I hang my head in sorrow...
Og senere
Just so yall know -- HBO did try to get us to wrap things up as a 2 hour movie. There is no way to do that without denigrating the quality of all we've produced prior.
To convieniently tie things up in a pretty two-hour bow would undercut all that has made the show special to begin with. The first season happened in about a month's span of time. The second season happened in about a two week span of time. This third season (yes, I've watched it all) happens in a two week span of time. It is not possible to properly conclude things with a "Return to Gilligan's Island" style tv movie.
I'd rather cut our losses and move on than to denigrate the show's legacy with such an atrocity.
That having been said, I would love to take a twelve episode arc and bring it to a conclusion. THAT would allow us, and the show, proper closure. However, as of yesterday, all of the horses were let out of the barn. It will be damned hard to round them all up and put them back in their stalls.
So, yes, inundate the Powers That Be (your list is an appropriate one) with your emails/letters/calls. I don't know if it'll make them pull out the lariets and try to harness the herd, but it's worth trying. Like me, you're refusing to go quietly into that good night. Rage. Rage against the dying of the Deadwood light.
It has been a treat, yall. A treat to help create DEADWOOD with one of the finest bunch of artists and human beings I've ever been blessed to work with. Also, it has been a treat to comingle with such a rounded, literate bunch of cocksuckers like the group that assembles here
#7 Skal forhåbentlig se den næste år :) Og i det mindste kan man anskaffe sig de 36 afsnit i HD.

Har godt nok ikke fået set deadwood endnu, men hvis de laver en Carnivale, så er det næsten lige før at man ikke gider at gå i gang med at se den.

Sjovt nok har deres beslutning givet mig lyst til at erhverve sæson 2, selvom 1'eren ikke var min kop the :)
Jeg elsker deres serier, hader deres mentalitet.
