Both shows were awesome but the biggest develope of the night for me was the preview of the new original series Rome coming this fall.

HBO's trilogy of social commentary on "modern" America and the Bush Administration....

Deadwood = Libertarianism (Those old mining towns were, in fact, the purest implementation of Libertatian values taken to their extreme that ever existed on this continent (though not necessarily "chosen" as such)....

Carnivale = Fundamentalist Christianity (is really the devil's work)

Rome = Empire - undoubtedly, the subtext will address American hegmony and the neo-conservatives' American Exceptionalism and Military adventures

It's Not TV, it's the news in code....
