Thank you!! As I commented to gileonnen above, the diction and dialogue on Deadwood is positively sublime and I just fell in love with it when I watched the show. I think I do remember reading about the Shakespeare and Bible thing and it does make a lot of sense. Plus, there's just something wonderful about being able to have actual soliloquies.

I have to admit, I love this universe so it wouldn't surprise me if I play around with it a bit more. I really want to write about Chicago!Gangster!Warwick.
