Playing prospector at historic gold rush sites is pretty fun. I got to do that on a long weekend trip in Dahlonega, GA as a kid. My gosh Brad Dourif has all the range in the world.

Worth checking out Kings if you want more Ian McShane in a starring role. I don't think the show as a whole fully lived up to its amazing beginning (partly because it obviously just ran out of money halfway through), but McShane (as well as Sebastian Stan) were fantastic throughout. "We give up what we want when we want power!" - one of his lines in that show that will always give me chills the way he performed it.

If you look up who Ian McShane lost the Emmy to you will be hard pressed not to roll your eyes.

Doc Cochran is the MVP of this season, for me. He has some great scenes coming.

You two have jammed your plates full of the best TV dramas ever made. Not sure what you will have planned to watch in 26 but I'd bet all the money in my pockets it wont beat the shows you're watching this year. Enjoy every bit of this and The Wire and WW because if better TV has been made I haven't seen it.

James Spader in "Boston Legal" had a killer tape ("Death Be Not Proud"), and at that time Emmy voters judged only by the selected episode and not for the whole season. Spader's submission was basically unbeatable, pure bait from acting standpoint. He's also is a very talented and beloved (certainly more known in US than Ian McShane) actor - not only he beat McShane and Hugh Laurie (House MD), he also beat James Gandolfini (twice!) and Martin Sheen because, again, at that time submitted episodes mattered more than overall work on the season. That's why Jon Hamm lost so many times for Mad Men (his competitors simply had the better submitted episodes); he won only when the Emmys decided to throw away the old voting system which made winning much more easier for popular (consensus) choices. There's a reason why winners so different before 2015 and after, and why there's so many sweeps these days in all main categories (Drama Series, Comedy Series, Miniseries), which was an exception and not the trend back then. Don't get me wrong, Ian McShane gave some A tier performance on Deadwood and 100% deserved to win at least once, but the problem was that Deadwood wasn't mainstream TV series, so these basic voters decided to overlook it because this was a golden TV era with so many great shows available, so they simply chose more mainstream shows and snubbed McShane twice (for Without a Trace and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a very basic crime shows). It was a miracle that he managed Emmy nomination for the second season after the snub in the previous year (only Brad Dourif and Robin Weigert got nominated for the first season); and I highly suspect that Walter Hill won for Directing mostly because of his stature in the industry (his competitors weren't that respected at the time, Ryan Murphy and Tim Van Patten will became household names a bit later) rather than voters falling in love with Deadwood. The fact that Deadwood NEVER got nominated for Writing says a lot. Despite 8 Emmy wins (7 of them being under the line) the Emmys really weren't that invested in celebrating this great TV series. As would Joe Pesci in The Irishman say "It is what it is". Awards bodies often tends to overlook the greatness. But, again, James Spader in Boston Legal 100% deserved Emmy win over McShane if we stick with the old voting system, imo.

I made my peace with never agreeing with Emmy voters (gestures at Andre Royo in the Wire) a long while ago but appreciate the insight.

I completely agree. This is as good as anything I've ever seen. Also GOT, Sopranos. We are really spoiled right now

This is my problem with award ceremonies. It's almost never what you want. You do get the rare satisfying Emmy's or Oscars. It's just not very often IMO

Brad Dourif might be my favorite character actor at this point. I just found out he was in Mississippi Burning. I have been wanting to do that since Gene Hackman's passing. I'm not sure if Kevin has seen it but I would love to do it in some capacity

Oh yeah, Mississippi Burning was one of those movies we saw in AP US History in highschool. That was in highschool in Massachusetts, in middle school in Atlanta there was much less looking into segregation, lynchings, etc. Not saying there is a clean division between how things were taught in the north and south in the 90s and early 2000s, the schools I went to in Atlanta were far more racially diverse, like 30% white, 30% black, and a lot of Hispanic and Asian kids with different backgrounds. But even in classrooms in Atlanta with a lot of Black kids we were still taught revisionist history that wasn't a thing in highschool in a Massachusetts town with a much more white majority population.
