Deadwood's 3rd season (starts 6/11) looks like it's the last

I'd read a few different places that HBO hadn't renewed Deadwood for a 4th season yet. Reading what I just read, it looks like the upcoming 3rd season (starting on June 11th, a week from Sunday) will be its last

From http://www.tvguide.com/TV/Roush/AskMatt/:

Quote:
Question: One more note on the demise of Deadwood: The difference between HBO canceling these shows before their conclusion versus regular television networks canceling shows is roughly analogous to the difference between a movie theater shutting off the projector two-thirds of the way through the film because the bosses want to save money on their electric bill versus a theatre company canceling a free performance of Shakespeare in the park because not enough people show up. With the free Shakespeare performance, it might make me sad that I wouldn't get to see the full show, but, hey, I wasn't paying for it anyway. But with the movie theatre, I'd be completely outraged — wouldn't you? — because I'd paid for a specific service. I can't imagine going back to a theater that would treat its customers like that — and if they did it twice in a row? Forget about it! Sorry about going on and on about this HBO deal, Matt, but having been burned twice, with Carnivale and now Deadwood, a lot of us are really upset! — Don C.

Matt Roush: Having watched the first month's worth of episodes for Deadwood's third season, I'm more puzzled than ever that HBO is calling it quits for this magnificent series. But having watched one of the extra features on the second-season DVD, revealing the bizarre process of how David Milch actually supervises the writing of the show (making it up on the spot, it often appears), I also understand that if Milch is developing a new project, HBO was right in realizing that Deadwood couldn't continue as is without him. And not being an expert on contracts, budgets and other money matters, I can only imagine how costly it would be to keep this cast and crew, etc., on contract waiting for Milch to be free. (The real question is why HBO couldn't wait to start the new Milch venture until after the fourth season of Deadwood was completed.) I'm not making apologies for HBO, but I do think it's wise to approach the new season of Deadwood by appreciating and celebrating its unique qualities, not bemoaning the fact that it won't be continuing for that fourth season so many fans were counting on. No show, not even on HBO, lasts forever. And not even a pay service like HBO is immune from having to make unpopular (and at times mystifying) programming and business decisions.

In the new Entertainment Weekly, they have a page about Timothy Olyphant (aka Bullock) where it says:
"Then he'll return to Deadwood when HBO ends the series with two TV movies. Says Olyphant, 'It's better to go early than to fade away.' "

This is one of my favorite shows. Great episode last night. I was glad to see Seth beat down E.B. if he had it coming or not, I never really liked him. I really dont like Hearst. Hopin to see him killed off quickly. And of course great to see Swearengen back in top form.

I really cant see Bullok quiting or loosing the race for Sheriff, what do you all think?

I think I'm gonna be sad as hell when this show ends. Best show in YEARS. I'm not watching season three until the DVD comes out, so I'm going to avoid this thread and its accursed spoilers now

I forgot how much I like this show.

Good to see Al back and in form, eh?

I thought the end of last season was a bit slow. Good to see they're moving things along right out the gate.
