"To waste time regretting or feeling betrayed as if there were some contract with the audience that was defaulted on, was to deprive oneself, as a member of the audience and a participant in the making, of the pleasure of what did exist. To attach bitterness to the encounter with what does exist is a failure of energy and truth. There was a lot of life there. At the end of it, to spend time regretting what might have been would be actually to distort what has been."
- David Milch on the end of Deadwood (Life's Work)
