Say What?

Is it just me, or has HBO's Deadwood become one of the hardest to follow shows on TV?

The show's strength has always been its language - from the profanity-laced outbursts by its characters, to the downright eloquence in some of its dialogue. However, starting in Season Two and continuing even moreso in Season Three, it has been harder and harder to figure out just what the heck these people are saying to each other.

Sure, the show has taken on a more Shakespearian tone since Season One, but watching Deadwood this year has been about as exciting (and frustrating) as getting through the King James Bible.

Who knew that the denizens of Deadwood were so literate?
