Deadwood Not Dead yet

HBO and David Milch seemed all but ready to kill the series after its third season, but now there will be two TV movies. These movies will finish the series off right.
Milch should take some of the blame for the shows demise, mainly because he seemed to lose interest in the series and has a new surfer series in development for HBO. What an asshole.
I loved Deadwood’s first season, and the second season has grown on me, so I am looking forward to season 3.
((A rather strange thing happened to HBO's ``Deadwood'' as the start of its third season loomed.
First, HBO all but canceled plans for a fourth season of the revisionist western because of money issues. Then, with fans of the show in full outcry, David Milch, its creator, seemed to pull the plug officially, saying he had concluded that ``the right decision creatively was to stop now.'' Finally, HBO and Milch reached an agreement that will allow the ``Deadwood'' saga to wrap up in two two-hour films at an unspecified date in the future.
The whole affair was as murky and smacking of behind-the-scenes treachery as some of the alliances on ``Deadwood'' itself. Details aside, it certainly was shabby treatment of a critically acclaimed and much-honored drama that will go down in TV history as one of the unique and truly visionary shows of all time.))
