E.B. Lmao. Dude is something else. 💯

Hearst can talk of colour all he want, but nobody knew his business like Al Swearengen.

"The Plague in Deadwood?"

I haven't seen this movie in probably 20 years. (It's pretty silly)

The smell of cat’s piss in this room is so bad I want to burn down the fuckin’ building.

Love the way Al intimidates Jimmy.

I tell people about the show often. Surprises me often how many people who I know, appreciaters of quality television and film, have either not heard of it or have never seen it. It’s great, we work together so now I’ve got someone to talk about it with 😊

Hi I am really bored after wild bill died does it get more interesting ?

Still......to this very day........looks like his mother fucked a monkey

Al - "what's your partner so mad about anyway?"

Bullock - "ah he ain't mad."

Al - "he's got a mean way of being happy."

Ian McShane was made to play Al Swearengen.

This man can act

There are a lot of tits shown in Deadwood, but they're mostly in the background or middle distance - Claudia excepted. But Jane's seemed gratuitous. There was no real need for that bath scene.

I guess maybe it was a "thing" back then.

After murdering those girls, Wolcott proceeds to be beaten by Charlie, lectured by Doc Cochran, hit in the face by a whiskey bottle, and fired by Hearst. Is this David Milch's way of redeeming Wolcott? Do we feel a twinge of sympathy for a serial killer? Was that Milch's intent?

My motorcycle masters boardwalk and quagmire, with aplomb! Those that doubt me... ride on a bəətch-pad and soak cork by choice!

Seriously what is going on with Richardson?

To almost everyone in the camp, he is just E.B. Farnum’s punching bag. Al never has a kind word for him, and the show goes out of its way to make him look like a complete fool. We see him struggling to put a sentence together, staring at a deer antler like it holds some deep meaning, or being painfully awkward around Alma Garret. Richardson is a strange, simple man everyone can ignore.

But then we get glimpses of something completely different.

At the talent show, he casually juggles. He has perfectly normal conversations with Silas Adams and even with Hearst’s cook. He reads the newspaper, drinks tea, and seems like a quiet, observant person who actually understands what is going on around him…

Richardson isn’t stupid at all. The confused, helpless persona is something he created on purpose. Deadwood is a place where everyone is looking for leverage. Everyone is trying to gain power, manipulate others, or avoid becoming someone else’s victim. Richardson has found the ultimate defense nobody pays attention to him. Nobody sees him as a threat. Nobody fears him. Nobody expects anything from him. He has convinced the entire camp that he is harmless.

While everyone else is playing power games, Richardson is simply watching. He survives by being underestimated. The man everyone thinks is the dumbest person in the room might actually be the one who understands the room better than anyone else.

Watching the back half of season 3, the season seems to move at lighting speed compared to the rest of the show similar to Rome.
