Just wondering if anyone else if following that last "true" season of the best show ever on television? So far it's off to a real interesting start but I have no idea where they will go with the story unless they really break off from history.
 
I love Deadwood. Definitely the best drama on television. But yeah, since it is quasi-historical they seemed to have backed themselves into a corner. It also kind of sucks because I like the show so much I did a ton of research and feel like I know what is going to happen and that it is pretty anti-climatic. :eek:

My only hope is that the last "episode/two hour movie" is only about Al and what happens to him after he leaves Deadwood. :)
 
I'm watching. The only reason I keep HBO. They'll be history when Deadwood is done. Next week should be interesting eh?

Mini spoiler possible if you look down...













What do you suppose happened behind the scenes with Al? Do you think maybe he drank that shot? :eek:

HBO is tops. Entourage (my favorite comedy on TV), Big Love, last season of Sopranos, Rome (are they gonna make a 2nd season?), C.Y.E., ect. :)
 
It's entirely possible the last movie wraps up how everyones lives end history wise but I doubt it will focus entirely on Swerengen.

Spoiler:



I think it was pretty obvious that Al's hand was either stabbed or had his fingers cut off but as to what else was said it's impossible to tell.
 
Yeah, Hearst 'stabbed' Al's hand with the sharp end of the hammer (can you tell I am not a carpenter), no?

I think if his fingers were cut off he would have been in a little more pain.

Al is pretty tough though....

Hearst would have to have some pretty good aim to cut off fingers with whatever he is holding (pick axe?)…

Deadwood Movie
(2019)- A new movie reunites most of the original cast, premiers on HBO 31May2019. Will it be worthy? The original series was one of my favorite shows.

Thanks for the useful necro post. I just loved that show and anything Ian McShane is in I have watched many shows of his since first discovering Lovejoy decades ago. I shall keep an eye out for it, hopefully it is good. That reminds me, I have whole season of American Gods to binge watch this weekend now it has just finished for the year.

For anyone interested in watching or rewatching this excellent 3 season show and have Amazon Prime Video, it can be found there, no HBO subscription required.
 
Sounds like time to fire up my new 2019 fire Stick. Its faster than my old minis and runs 4k just fine. (Cost $29 on Amazon.)

Loved Deadwood and the all of the big 4 of early HBO stuff. After that Eh!

Looking foreword to this movie. a2

Good movie! Thirteen years later and it picked up without missing a beat with most of the original cast. I’m tempted to rewatch the entire series. I was also reminded that listening to them talk is like listening to Shakespeare. Did they really talk this way? ;)

Deadwood Movie cast and series creator, Milch​

For those not familiar, HBO cancelled the show at the end of the 3rd season, as I recall, due to expense of production and they left the story unresolved. This movie provides some closure, although I’d love to see more. As a historical character and the villain, George Hurst, (father of Willian Randolph Hurst) had restrictions on what manner of comeuppance he might receive in this story, and as best they could, he got one.

Yeah, they really talked that way,and we loved it.

Deadwood was so good, and like my all time favorite 'Carnavale', the early HBO stuff was so much better than anything ever seen on TV, before or since. Those shows spoiled us for all time. a2
