Oh, as for Deadwood, I'm upset by it, but I can see why it'd happen. First, Olyphant has seen his stock rise exponentially by Deadwood, and he seems to be itching to have a big time movie career. Secondly, and probably more important, Deadwood costs a LOT of cash. A LOT! They are trying to get all the historical details right and that'll make it go through the roof (and they aren't sharing the bill with, say, the BBC). Apparently, the guy who plays Dan Dority said on the HBO boards at some point that the HBO CEO is trying to cut costs to keep his job.

Also, for a series based on history, I'd imagine it may get a bit harder to make it interesting once law and order come to Deadwood and all those conflicts get resolved as the US moves west.
