Slow but not bad

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Plague", a sixth episode of season 1 was slow (as usual) episode. Characters do not progress very much here as well as the story. Its more or less a drama set in the old west then a western set in the old west. Its not that i didn't liked it - i mostly did, but the pacing and some dialogs could have been more better paced. Motivations of some characters is what i'm interested here, but again, its just to much of dialogs and not enough action in a sence.

Overall, with six episodes in, i see what "Deadwood" is - a drama set in west which relies on characters and location.
