My girl Jane is back!! Curtis is gonna be so psyched
Between that, "Welcome to Deadwood!", and the scene where Al gets a thumb up his ass this season's off to a SOLID start
I also see that Anna Gunn gets to play against type here with the part of the scorned, passive-aggressive wife |

AHHHHHHH these eps made me so uncomfortable. God as if kidney stones didn't make me cringe enough, seeing them in action in the 1800s was even worse. That shot of Al's blood dripping onto the floor. :x :x :x I did like that shot of everyone on the bed after though, that was p great
Also this appearance of Hearst's liaison is a cool development, I like seeing Cy have to put up with someone clearly more powerful than him now |

S2 DONE. Thought it was a step up over S1, all the added INTRIGUE was good. Dillahunt's Wolcott was a great addition, probably the best aspect of the season
|
I do feel like Bullock got kinda shafted, I liked him a lot in S1 but he just got kinda...boring as S2 went on. Just the frustrated/reluctant father all season long. Maybe his character will pick back up now that Alma looks to be back in the picture based on that ending
Hearst is kind of a disappointment so far after all that build-up tbh, Wolcott was way more intimidating. But he's only been in one ep so far so we'll see. I just was expecting some kind of larger than life presence after how much he was referenced and FEARED all season
E.B. was better than ever this season, I hated him in the beginning of the show but that's quickly spun into more of a love-to-hate thing, he's such a slimeball. And speaking of slimeballs I really hope Tolliver's not dead (assume he won't be), he's definitely another love-to-hate character in a different way
I really wonder where this is all going, or if this will continue to be a sort of slightly heightened slice-of-life kind of show all the way through. I mean with character arcs in particular (obviously the plot itself is mostly about showing the creeping in of civilization), I guess it's maybe sadly realistic that Trixie would stay so loyal to Swearengen all this time but I'm just waiting for that big moment where she separates for good. Waiting for those big character-turning moments from a bunch of others as well, but it's seeming like that might just not be what the show's going for |

damn S3 is gooood
|
holy shit that eye gouging in the brawl scene, JEEESUS that was brutal. For a show that really hasn't done much action that scene was really well done
boy the racism has stepped up this season! I'm so ready to be done with Steve, idk where they're going with that guy
Hearst has definitely stepped up his villainry and become the PRESENCE I hoped he'd be, even though I still don't think he's QUITE at the same level as Walcott (mostly just cuz Dillahunt was so good)
This ending is looking to get p crazy. An all-out WAR. P sad that it's almost over |

aaand done (except for the movie)
they saved the best for last, the S3 finale was probably the best ep of the whole show
|
what a THRILLING conclusion, even if I wish it would've ended up a little 'bigger' with all that build-up to the final conflict. But then again it would've been pretty out-of-character for the show to end so bombastically. Al having to kill the whore to placate Hearst was already brutal enough. Not to mention Ellsworth dying of course :( He was one of the GOOD ONES!
also WHAT I just realized Dillahunt played both Jack McCall AND later Wolcott. wtffff, I didn't recognize him as Jack at all |
great show. Like I said I'm usually a sucker for Old West era stuff so this was right up my alley. The characters were (almost) all great. Swearengen/Wolcott/Hearst/Dan/Bullock/Farnum being at the top | |

movie was p good, maybe a slight dip in quality compared to the main series (the first 45 mins mostly being character catch-up hurt it a bit). Also idk it gave me any more closure than the S3 finale did? Both were equally open-ended imo
|
man it was weird seeing some of these characters OLD, especially Al who always was such a force of nature. I can see why they killed him off here tho, really drives home the old lawless town days coming to a close despite their best efforts. Last scene was nice, in a very Deadwood sort of way
All the Hearst stuff was good as always, everything else...not as much. Didn't really care about the Stubbs/Jane and Sol/Trixie sub-plots much
sad that Tolliver couldn't really get a proper send-off. Even more sad we didn't get to see Richardson again :(
also hey one last Dillahunt cameo (: |

1x08 I think

I was so happy to see Kristen Bell’s character die. She was so rude! |

Good ep. I loved the meeting scene to create a sham government. Doc Cochran might be the unsung hero of the show for me so far, Brad Dourif is really great. Nice to see him playing a good guy for once |

I feel like every episode gets funnier too. 9 and 10 have had great humor. Just watched the scene where the guy shits himself in Al’s office and jumps off the balcony | |

I love how many Deadwood actors made the leap to Rectify. Creator of Rectify is the Reverend in this
Deadwood/Rectify/Walking Dead universe have a tooon of actors in common | |

Ep ten
|
I thought for sure Al was gonna frame titus welliver and send him to Wu to be killed as the dope thief since Wu wouldn't know what he was saying when he protests it. The straw drawing scene was tense
The two accompanying the Reverend to his tent was v touching. I dont think the show uses music very much at all so its very noticeable in a scene like that |
