They canceled the show, choked it out early really, which is why the last few felt kind of rushed. Cocksuckers. It wasn't the ratings monster that was The Sopranos, but it was doing about as well as Deadwood according to the stats, so I don't see what the problem was. It certainly didn't seem anywhere near as expensive as Rome to produce...

More stuff to plead with the suits, if you want. I honestly think given that they cut the 12-episode run to 10 that it's not coming back. Fools! Think of the cult DVD sales!

On the plus side, I was able to use it as a frame for a blog post about Ari Fleischer's return to politics ("Ari Fleischer should get back in the game"), so that's nice.
