Cart top five characters?? Disregarding the movie if you can/if it matters

S3 finale

Spoiler

+

pretty good, but also slightly underwhelming. If I was watching as it aired and THIS was the series finale I would be pissed. It just feels so incredibly incomplete, which it is since it was cancelled. You can tell they had more in them for suuuure, really sad that they had to end abruptly. I'm glad there's a movie as a prologue of sorts at least. I definitely wanted a corny montage of every character to close it out in this ep Surprised you thought it was the best ep of the series Cart, it might've even been the weakest of the three finales for me. Still liked it tho, the first two finales were just really good from what I remember. I love how there's a sense of urgency and tension in each finale, you can always tell some shit is about to pop off Leon dying in the last eight minutes of the series, what a GIFT! Hearst really delivered. God I wanted to see him killed so badly, he's an absolute menace. I cant believe he won by the series end. I hope he gets what's coming to him in the movie WHERE AS DOC COCHRAN Wtf. How DARE they not include him! That's so sad Best moment of the episode was EB the rat peering out of the hole on the balcony and just re assuming his position. So good, I loved that. Just carrying on like he's hot shit again Another mvp of the ep was Johnny. The scene where he cant kill her and stands up to Al is so great, his best acting of the series. I like Sean Bridgers a lot Movie this weekend prob, gonna be so weird to see all of these people so suddenly way older

not making the distinction as far as LIKABILITY obv, just best characters, I think I'd go (and ya the movie wouldn't shift any of this)
1. Swearengen
2. Bullock
3. Hearst
4. Farnum
5. Wolcott

with Dan just missing the cut

1. Swearengen
2. Dan
3. EB
4. Cochran
5. Bullock

With Cy just missing out :(
And Johnny

idk I thought the S3 finale had a lot of good tension, I don't think the series was ever as propulsive as it was there. It didn't work as a SERIES conclusion obv but I can't hold that against it

Cochran and Tolliver were pretty high for me early on but I feel like got sidelined too much later in the show unfortunately

and JANE really took a nosedive ofc :((

Honestly, opposite for me. I think she got more tolerable as she went. Still didnt like her at all but she had better moments in s2 and s3. In s1 she was so one dimensional and insufferable

I also hate that Cy was sidelined, I did not see his story going that way. But I do kinda love that he ends up as just another lackey to Hearst when he saw himself as more of a major player. I saw people suggesting that he kills Leon because he's furious that he's become Hearts Leon and that's kinda perfect to me

Really sad that Boothe died, he was so menacing and terrific. Wouldve loved to see Cy in the movie

Also my god did GOT waste Ian McShane's talents

eh her being a drunken mess starting in s2 was way more one note to me, I mean it was always part of her character but that became like the ENTIRETY of her character (til the Joanie stuff which was ok, but not really cuz of her) to the point where I mostly forgot why I liked her in the first place! I do know she never topped her plague scenes with Doc Cochran tho

ya I wish they gave you a chance to revel in that more but I did love that direction for him

My god Trixie ruins fucking everything

(I'm watching the movie rn)

Also John Hawkes is far too old to be having a child, cmon man!
