Title: Deadwood
Post by: Argonor on January 02, 2007, 04:02:00 PM: The Danish DR2 is broadcasting 'Deadwood' every night somewhen after 22.00 (as of yesterday :oops: )

Those of you living near Denmark should be able to catch it on a regular antenna, if you have a digital decoder.

Original sound, Danish subtitles.

Just wanted to let you know :)

Post by: W.B.Kurgan on January 02, 2007, 04:10:35 PM: Fans of Deadwood might like to know (if you don't already!) that Artizan Designs make an "Al Swearengen" figure (without actually calling it that!):

Post by: Argonor on January 02, 2007, 05:00:43 PM: I didn't know that. I already have 'The good, ....' , and a couple of 'guns for hire' packs, and certainly will go for this set next time I order from Artizan (which, I hope, will not be too far in the future; got to have those pulp-related minis!).

Post by: ollberger on January 02, 2007, 08:43:24 PM: I love them for releasing Al. Deadwood is one of my favourite series and Swearengen the most interesting character. Unfortunately i had to buy the DVD's of the first tweo seasons, since in germany they show it just on pay tv. Can't wait for the third season beeing released...

Post by: Mike D. Mc Brice on January 03, 2007, 08:31:36 AM: HBO had planned 3 seasons, the 3rd should be complete already. I read they will stop after 3 since the production costs are so high.

Post by: ollberger on January 03, 2007, 08:56:48 AM: The 3rd is complete: http://www.hbo.com/deadwood/episode/season3/episode25.shtml

But as far as I know it isn't released on dvd yet.

Post by: LeadAsbestos on January 03, 2007, 09:46:00 AM: Season 3 is over, and was a massive disappointment. Great buildup, but wait til you see that season finale! :x :o

They are going to do 3 or 4 more shows in a mini-season, cuz' all the fans raised holy hell when HBO announced they were killing it unfinished. Rumour has it the creator of the show has lost interest, thus both the wrap-up, and IMHO, the lack-lustre end of the 3rd season.

I'm still gonna buy 'em all! I do love that show and I'll be :cry: to see ot go.

Post by: Poliorketes on January 03, 2007, 12:24:00 PM: Kewl! Does anybody know if there's a 28mm-Miniature that looks like the Duke? Several of my LoToW-Characters are named after John-Wayne-Figures, my Cowboy Posse even got the names of the Red River Trailcrew.

Post by: Poliorketes on January 04, 2007, 04:43:34 PM: It's always funny to hear about actors real names. My favourite has always been Stewart Granger, who couldn't keep his real name, because some other guy found Jimmi Stewart a good Alias :D

Post by: Argonor on January 04, 2007, 05:17:19 PM: Stewart Granger.... Winnetou comes to mind. Used to watch those Karl May movies on German TV.... Alas, lost childhood. My mother just died today :(

Post by: Argonor on January 04, 2007, 08:41:32 PM: Thank you, guys!

Well, I'm a big boy with my own family, so I think I'll manage to get on. On the plus side, I'll probably paint a lot to cure my sadness.

Sunday I'll be at a gaming session at a friend's (LotR Battle Companies) which will also help me thinking of something else.

I might be a little quiet 'round here a couple of days...

Signing off for a while. Keep gaming!
