Now that I have watched three seasons all in a line over 3 weeks, I think it was ended too quick.
IT WAS ended cleanly and it made sense and I was beginning to get tired of my friend Powers Booth.
But to watch Ian McShane read that dialogue was a real treat. They wrote for him some of the
most lengthy, twisted up streams of big words, and he just hammered em. That was something
to watch, and I just loved every minute of it. He has a fan for life. And what was doubly interesting
was watching the E.B Farnum character devolve into a total nutjob. He was quirky at the start,
but he just completely went nuts by the end of the series. And HIS manner of speech was hilarious
as well. It was like he spent so much time hearing the statements of Al Swearengen that he was
trying to imitate his word usage. And he admitted to reading vocabulary improvement articles or
books. And watching him beat on his underling like an Igor was another parallel to his own
relationship with Al.
