The one thing that still bothers me about the last season is everyone apart from Johnny seeming to be fairly cool with a random blonde whore being sacrificed to Hearst so that Trixie doesn't have to be. edit: mainly Bullock, I suppose. Most of the other characters are morally gray and practical enough to do it. davidspackage fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Nov 11, 2018 |

I still think that the final episode of season 2 may very well be the greatest in-context episode of television that has ever been produced. "Boy the Earth Speaks To" is the title, I think - as it is our introduction to Hearst, after all, which was the culmination of a number of plot threads from season 2... But that episode isn't just the culmination of a bunch of exposition... The whole episode has an almost organic rhythm, and more than any other episode of that show, all the dialogue and all the motions and all the shots and especially the editing conveys this rapid sense of "poo poo going down" in every possible way, and a reckoning coming to nearly each and every character that's been stewing since the very first episode, in some cases. It ALL culminates in one sequence that's as close to perfect as anything I've ever seen in TV or film. And the wonderful thing is in addition to what I was just talking - being like a PERFECT finale for both Seasons 1 and 2 - it also feels like... a joyous celebration! It does, after all, end with a wedding - unconventional as it may be - and it's truly wonderful joyful moment.... Now, I love season 3, don't get me wrong, but I would have been a lot happier with season 2 being the end of the series, rather than season 3, if only because the season 2 finale felt like such a perfect wrapping up of what we'd seen so far. The ending of season 3, on the other hand, felt like it, uh.... left the audience wanting a bit of satisfaction and with less satisfaction and more a raw feeling of injustice with a bit of solace thrown in here and there (Joanie and Jane  )

"Prescribe this malingerer a can of peaches, and show him the loving door." This is an otherwise unremarkable line from the episode where the preacher was sick, but it encapsulates a lot of what makes the show great. Al is vicious, brilliant, vulgar, and yet has a big heart. Really sold me on Al and the writing.

He mentions in an earlier episode that his brother is epileptic as well, so you understand why he would have sympathy for the preacher. And that wink! That’s a great moment to focus on. Started watching again from the beginning, up to 110, and there really are so many fantastic lines and small asides. Best dialogue in TV history still, probably. This time around I’ve been reading Sepinwall’s reviews along with the series - https://uproxx.com/topic/deadwood-review/ - and Jim Beaver, the actor who plays Ellsworth, shows up in the comments for basically every episode to give his own recollections. It’s super interesting.

They should do a remake but make the dialogue 100% authentic so that the nastiest words used are "tarnation" or "dang" or "poop"

In order to keep the shock value of a lawless mining camp intact, he fuckin' decided to have these cocksuckers swear like fuckin' sailors. (Also I'm midway through Season 2 of a re-watch. God, Francis Wolcott was just a great villain.)

Just randomly remembered the "filthy degenerate" who pays each morning to come in and lick some titties before running out of the Gem Al posted:Stand with us here a second... and out the door he'll go, and prompt as a Swiss timepiece three big-titted whores will now emerge from behind that screen. He lines 'em up at two-foot intervals, smock-tops down, and all but sprints past 'em, giving their titties a lick. And if he misses a titty, he does not let himself retrace his steps...And on he goes, on his way home, relieved for the day....Strange, huh, Miles? But something you gotta know about specialists. They pay a premium, and they never cause loving trouble. I sometimes imagine, in my declining years, running a small joint in Manchester, England, catering to specialists exclusively. And to let them know they're amongst their own, maybe I'll operate from the corner, hanging upside-down like a loving bat. Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Nov 14, 2018 |

Is there any good example of what the actual swearing should have been like in that period? I cant imagine the filthy-mouthed miners being satisfied with "dang" and "tarnation" after watching Deadwood. The fuckin cocksuckin just rolls off their tongues so well it's almost poetic.

Hey, if anyone wants to read through the transcripts: http://turtlegirl76.com/deadwood/indexOLD.htm edit: from 3x03, one of my favorite scenes that doesn't have Ian McShane - Gerald McRaney's force-of-nature Hearst and Powers Boothe's mewling take on Tolliver's emasculation is loving fantastic: Cy: I hope you'll take it as measure of my keenness, Sir, and curiosity. Hearst: Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Tolliver. You wish to know your duties in my service. Cy: Well, I make my way through the muck to learn the details. Hearst: Your duties will be to answer like a dog when I call. Cy: Like a dog? Hearst: Complications of intention on your part in dealings with me or duplicity or indirection behavior, in short, which displeases me, will bring you a smack on the snout. Cy: Ouch. Hearst: When administered by a practiced hand such a blow can be more painful and grievous even than your recent sufferings. Cy: I don't doubt the hand would be practiced. Hearst: Mr. Swearengen recently discovered as much. Cy: I gather it cost him a finger. Hearst: But I should say too that in these rooms just this afternoon such displeasure brought me near to murdering the Sheriff and raping Mrs. Ellsworth. I have learned through time, Mr. Tolliver, and as repeatedly seem to forget that whatever temporary comfort relieving my displeasure brings me, my long-term interests suffer. My proper traffic is with the earth. In my dealings with people, I ought solely have to do with niggers and whites who obey me like dogs. Cy: If he hadn't meant me to wag it, Sir, why would the Lord give me a tail? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbYDNxaK3W4 Asbury fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Nov 15, 2018 |

one of my favorite subtle scenes came in S2E1, when Bullock and The Widow Garret are "consulting" so much that plaster falls off the ceiling in the middle of Sofia's lesson, and Miss Isringhausen, visibly pissed, just brushes it off the table (sidenote: between Martha "The Borg Queen" Bullock and Skylar White, Anna Gunn really has a knack for being cast as wives that fans don't really like)

She wasn't some horrific wife in Deadwood either, she married Bullock because it was generally required that a woman with a child have a husband and her brother-in-law was expected to take care of her after her husband died. Neither one was really happy with the whole situation. Didn't help Bullock kept loving the widow Garret either.

I'm doing a Deadwood rewatch (in light of the TV movie news) and also happened to watch the X-Files episode "Beyond the Sea" and goddamn, Brad Dourif is up there as one of the most underrated actors. Dude's downright captivating and Cochran is a great character. Seeing him do a quick little dance on his way from one patient to another during Ellsworth and Garret's wedding festivities was a pretty nice moment.
