vid - Special Death - Deadwood

A terrible mistake was made
The weight would break the backs
Of ten strong horses tried to save
The castle in the fray
If you knew that I could take the pain
Inflicted at the battle
With faithful arrows you
Might get back in the saddle
But it's a special death you saved
For me, the brown-eyed daughter
Once you made it hotter
The thankless, holy praise
Is left alone. Why bother
To cast a stone in water?

Ahh, thanks for expanding on that. I definitely got that feeling. She certainly seems more oppressed than the other Deadwood women (and women generally in Deadwood have a tough time.) I have quite an ambiguous attitude to Joanie I love her dearly for her maternal big heart and at the same time want to slap her for her failure to learn. I'm glad you gave her a sort of happy ending with Jane maybe she's finally made progress!

I'm very happy some of what I was doing got across. I completed this vid a while ago and it's weird to put it out now and be getting feedback.

I was worried for Joanie and Jane towards the end of the series because they were nearly happy and I'm used to shows that don't let characters to happy for long.
