DEADWOOD (Appreciation)

[jay211]

We needed a Deadwood thread. Salute Al Swearengen one of the greatest TV characters. The originator of the Hard on hoes movement.

 

[fact]

I this thread. The show just does not get enough burn from anybody. Some of the best writing and acting in screen history

 

[FlyRy]

This show is next up for me to start watching. probably after the playoffs though. I'm gonna marathon all 3 seasons fast.

 

[KiD WavE]

arguably a top 5 show ever .... being canceled was outrageous

 

[jay211]

That fight with Big Dan and the Captain was the gulliest fight ever on TV.

 

[Grand Conde]

Haven't finished the third season, need to re-download it. Ditto for Carnivale.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Top 5 for sure. Could of been the goat

 

[One4Deuce]

I have the Blu-ray series, watched part of it and stopped for some reason, don't even remember why. I need to revisit it

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Started watching last week...made it through to the beginning of season 2 during the long weekend...shyt's dope...Mrs. Garrett just showed them titties

 

[Bud Bundy]

Raylan Gibbions ancestor?

 

[Jello Biafra]

I loved this show and as much as I was a fan of the Bullock/Swearengen rocky relationship it was the Swearengen/Hearst stuff that was always more intense and never as appreciated.



Seeing Major Dad being such a dikk was cool.

 

[TheGodling]

There was a time when this show was considered one of the big three (alongside The Sopranos and The Wire), then HBO had to go and cancel it. What a fukk-up.

 

[trollol]

al was a true g

easily top 3 TV anti-hero of all time

show is light years ahead of boardwalk empire (shows based on real characters and with fictional elements thrown in)

major spoilers:

Spoiler

Al's mercy killing that pastor in season 1
Al's slit throat game
Al vs Bullock fight in season 2
dan dority's overall gooning

too bad heasrt had to come through and crush the buildings in season 3... hated that guy... major dad played the sh1t outta that role

 

[Jello Biafra]

The Swearengen vs Bullock fight:

"The world abounds in c*nt of every kind, including hers"
Al had a way with words.

 

[god=nature=we'reFUCKED]

Gets my blood flowing!

The symbolism!



The gold flowing with the dirt at the end
