Welcome. I assume you are reading this page, because otherwise you wouldn't be consuming this message.

Here's how I envision this: every week or so, I'm going to watch an episode of the HBO series Deadwood. I'm going to make notes, and I'm going to turn those notes into short episode captions and essays. I'll post those here.

There are thirty-six episodes of Deadwood, and given that my schedule is likely to be sporadic, that ought to take me about a year. After that... I'm not sure.

It's also possible that I will pad the count by adding in related commentaries: essays about the themes of isolation, colonization, settlement, resource extraction; reviews of related media. That sort of thing.

I hope that sounds interesting to you.
