1. Nice that 'Straight Up and Down' is the theme
Weird hearing it like that - it's v2, which is 11 minutes long and has lyrics - but hope the band (Brian Jonestown Massacre) gets more exposure.

Love it.

9. Take It From the Man! is a great album
Here's 'Straight Up and Down' from that album:

2. One of the best programs on TV...another is Luther on BBCA, one of
the scariest TV shows ever.

3. I like it but don't love it. Dexter is still the best thing going right now.
BE is a very good show but not up to the standard set by Deadwood, Rome and a few seasons of the Sopranos. It is as good as Big Love, Six Feet Under and The Tudors which is no small praise.

4. Carnivale was good, very good. Too bad HBO cancelled it.

8. My favorite ever.
I've watched it so many times I can quote it chapter and verse.

12. Very violent, yet somehow I can handle it.
Timothy Olyphant plays withheld rage SO well. I'd never heard of him, nor Ian McShane. And I'd never liked nor rooted for a bad guy before Deadwood. LOVE Robin Weigart as Calamity Jane.

Someday I'll get the DVDs...

10. I LOVE it, and I don't even have HBO!
I watch it with my boyfriend at his house. We both love mob stories. We're also both big fans of Dexter, and we get to have our cake and eat it too by watching Boardwalk Empire at 9 then the repeat of Dexter at 11.
