Bad Guys Will Go Out In Style

There was lot of furor over the fact that HBO was terminating Deadwood after the current season (number three) ends this summer\fall. Critics in almost every major newspaper were lamenting the decision, which was prompted by a bloated budget and expensive production costs. But now you can rest assured that we will see the final fate of Al Swearengen: David Milch made a deal with HBO to bring Deadwood back for two 2-hour movies next year. At the same moment, we also get this news that Vic Mackay will be stick around for another season on FX. Besides the ten episodes starting in January 2007, we'll get an additional 13 episodes (season seven), probably appearing in January 2008. If you saw the last season, you have to wonder how far Shawn Ryan and his excellent writing staff will go in torturing Mackay's Strike Team. Great news, sometimes the bad guys win. Nuff said.
