Promotional poster for Deadwood, Season One.
The votes are in and, although it was relatively close, our final Wednesday night screening will consist of two episodes from the first season of the HBO series Deadwood. Depending on how our semester is going at that point, I might use some in class time to talk about – and possibly screen – clips or episodes from some earlier TV westerns.
The final vote was: Deadwood – 12, Meek’s Cutoff – 9, Sukiyaki Western Django – 6. Both Meek’s Cutoff and Sukiyaki Western Django are now possibilities for Short Essay #2.
