NEVER SIT AT A POKER TABLE WITH YOUR BACK TO THE DOOR.
I noticed I failed to mention the reason I had a shitty Sunday night of TV. I look forward to that night because of King of the Hill, The Simpsons, Sopranos, and most recently Deadwood. I loved this Deadwood show. It takes place in an "illegal" settlement with no law around the Black Hills of the Dakotas where people are mining for gold. What really got my attention and became my favorite character was a gunman that hasn't been portrayed very often, Wild Bill Hickok played by Keith Carradine. This guy could drink, play poker, and out draw anyone with a pistol. He could read peoples emotions as soon as they walked into a saloon and assess whether they intended him harm or not.... until he sat with back to the door. Shit! Shot in the back by "Lazy Crazy Eye" Jack McCall. This guy is a complete douche bag. Hickok always beat him at poker and Jack would run his mouth since he couldn't beat Hickok in a gunfight. After Bill would clean him out, he'd give Jack a buck to get something to eat. I thought that was funny. I guess Jack didn't. So he got a gun and killed my favorite character. What a dick. Well, he got caught and the next episode, it looks like the law in comin' to town. I'll watch it to see if he gets justice but the writers better beef up some more of the characters to keep me goin'. They're cool... but not as cool as Wild Bill.
