Congratulations on FAST LANE, Dave. I'd tend to disagree that
the saloonkeeper is less evil in the later episodes, and I
won't give away why I think so, but he certainly becomes a
somewhat more rounded character. Marianne, I suspect you'll
continue to enjoy the series.
FWIW, Murdoch's holdings in the US are not, for the most
part, tagged "Sky" so much as Fox. Though this is a
terrestrial broadcast network and a set of cable stations
(mostly sports, the general- interest channel FX, etc.), and
he and his group have been buying into the satellite delivery
service DirecTV here, which is somewhat Sky-like. TM
