Can you get these scripts in book form or are they transcripts found online? I found some .doc files with transcripts of the show but they aren't always accurate. It would be fun to read some of the real written stuff.

Milch was on the very fun talk show "Dinner for Five" with Jon Favreau a while back. He said in that conversation that he calls the dialogue iambic pentameter and I did try to count it out and it doesn't completely fit that but it is very stylized. He also talked in that show about why they...

Any way to find out numbers of cancellations following Deadwood's finale? My thought is a fair amount will stick around for Rome 2. I was sorely tempted but I might re-up one more time or just wait until the DVD's. The only other show that would prompt me to re-up would be the mysterious and...

Hearst = HBO Executives

Well, Rome is really good, anyway. Not like I will see it on anything but DVD, though. I ended my HBO subscription not an hour after I watched the Deadwood finale. Nothing else to see here. I hope that a large group of people nix HBO after it ends to send a message that they are losing viewers...

Yah, it was pretty much anti-climatic after last week's stellar episode. Realizing that this wasn't meant to be THE END of the show is what colors my opinion of it, though. I mean, if this was just a break until season 4 I would say "well, let's see what life is like for Bullock now that he...

I thought that too but then she lifted skirt as he opened the door when only he was around. Get him to look down while she aimed up. Too bad her aim was lousy.

What proves to me that Langrishe is more than what he portrays was the look on Al's face when he walked in the bar last episode. Al just smiled and relaxed a bit which, under the circumstances, was unusual. Also the fact that he basically laid out how he could have used his role as massage...

Wow...an almost entire page of "spoiler" posts! Yowza! I am afraid to read any of them. I just wanted to commenton Langrishe and his "distracting" storyline. What is sad about this is that we are seeing it as a distraction that cannot possibly be resolved in two more episodes. But these...

I think the writing has jumped a notch in the past few episodes. It seems sharper and even at times more florid, which for this show is always better. I don't want realistic dialogue; I want Deadwood dialogue. This was so much in play during the Yankton guy's scene with Hearst (one of the...

I don't think Langrish is an assassin by trade any more than Al is a murderer by trade. I think bloodletting is something that happens with these "old campaigners" as Langrish said of he and Al. I suspect that his money isn't very clean, either. His statements to Alma about depositing money and...

...and since we don't have confirmation on the show-ending movies, we may never see this scene. I am saddened to think that the ending will be a big ol' cliffhanger that won't ever be resolved. I hate when that happens with a series.

I thought this was a great episode and heads above the last couple (though interesting as set ups). This episode had a lot of swagger to it that was missing the last few. Hearst is making his first real stabs into Deadwood proper (not just his claim) and isn't trying to ingratiate himself with...

You see Ian in the old BBC series "Lovejoy?" Very light fare compared to Deadwood but he held the screen like he does now. Fun show. Part of the BBC Mysteries (though it was more about art and theft and such like). Count me as loving Bronson and especially Fonda in "Once Upon A Time..." I...

Dave, Mary thanks for the feedback! The more I think about it I am not worried about pulpy novels as much as I want to avoid stereotypical Westerns that fit better with the large and small screens of the 50's (though that decade and before had their own versions of gritty westerns). I don't want...

On a tangental note, has anyone read "Deadwood", a book by Pete Dexter? I saw it on Amazon when searching for other Western lit. I will be honest, I have always liked my Westerns on the small or big screen than as reading (Lonesome Dove aside...that was one fine novel). This book intrigued me as...

This episode didn't do it for me. Maybe it was being late on a Monday when I finally got around to watching it but it seemed to really go no where, other than introduce a new character into the party. Steve has become the first season's preacher...you know, the character that annoys me the most...

sean, you are correct. Having made my way through more of the season, I see this to be true. He makes a huge shift in one episode, in fact. It is the episode where the Bella Union folks show up. He isn't sure who allowed this sale to happen and is freaking out. EB later tells him the truth and...

Has anyone watched Season One lately? I picked up the discs over a month ago but immediately loaned them out to some friends to get them hooked (successfully, too, of course). I just got them back and started going through them. I was REALLY surprised by how some characters have changed. By...

Agreed with everything said about Dan/Captain fight. This is one of the few shows where the outcome of such a showdown is still very much in question. Even with this "win" I see Dan never being quite the same again. In fact, that is the joy of this show is that characters don't "reset" episode...

Bwahahahaha... Good stuff. The ending is wonderful.

As noted, I changed the offending word to "Sam Fields," though I do it in irony. I was re-watching last week's episode when Jane got the telegram from him and it was addressed to her from "Sam Fields" and she said, "Who the fuck is that?" Too funny. I agree with Brad's post above, though. Words...

Mark, I don't think she lusts after Leon...I thought it was because she was using again and he was basically providing her fix. She is trying to escape the loveless marriage she is in and drugs seems the best way out for her. I don't think Leon is long for the world if Elsworth (or Bullock, to...

Tod, thanks for the answer. Good to know. Very cool, in fact. One other scene of interest is the growing tension in the Elsworth household. As he continues to try to "dominate" his wife in what I suspect he thinks is the expected way for a husband to treat a wife we see Alma grow tired of...

I am not trying to pick on Henry or Raasean but this is a character name as identified BY the character in the show that this forum is discussing (as you noted in your posts). This is also a character based on a real person by that same name (real name: Sam Fields...and as far as I know, he is...

I would say they have good reason, though. Joannie's is obvious after what she witnessed (and survived) last year. Tolliver, same thing, after getting gutted (literally by one guy and figuratively by another). Hearst, he I am not sure about. I think this is the "real" him. Anyone have a good...

Yeah, what is up with Tolliver? Is he playing a deeper game with the whole "Bible-thumping" routine? I loved that even Hearst was getting fed up with Tolliver's ramblings. His quick counter to Tolliver's blackmail attempt made Cy even dip deeper. Will their joint hatred of Hearst bring Tolliver...

Was that scene at the end with Hearst and Tolliver a re-shoot? Looks like Hearst had his longer beard and they tried to use lighting and head positioning to hide it. Hmmm... Overall, a smashing episode. I love that Al (and Dan, for that matter) is asking the same questions as we are, namely...
