TV Eye’s Roger Catlin got an advance look at the 19-disc, 36 hour “Deadwood: The Complete Series” that I want for Christmas (hint, hint). One of the special features has David Milch on the abandoned Deadwood set talking about how he would have ended the series had he had his way.
Endings that supposedly “fixes the mark and meaning of any experience is one of the lies agreed upon that we use to organize our lives,” he says. A bigger lie, he says, is that “we were entitled to a meaningful and coherent summarizing of something which never concludes.”
Go read Catlin’s piece and then head over to Amazon to pre-order me a copy… Don’t leave your shopping till the last minute.
