Deadwood this week.

I missed Deadwood this week.  Anyone feel like giving me the Cliff Notes version?

If you can watch Deadwood already you probably have the ability to get it On Demand.  If you don't know how that works just post back.  anyway...

Bullock is riding out to kill the guy who killed Wild Bill when he gets attacked by and indian.  He kills him.  Small Pox has broken out in Deadwood and Al, the dude who owns Bella Union, the doc, and some others address it.  Charlie Udder finds Bullock in the woods where he finds out Bill is dead.  Also Tricksy is still helping the widow though Al is suspicious she isn't giving her the dope.  I left out a lot of details so check out On Demand.  Needless to say this episode rocked too, just in a more low-key way.

They replay it like 3 times a week on HBO even if u dont have on demand.  Usually on late nite like 11pm or so.  Check hbo.com.  It was another good episode.

Thanks.  My kid has been a screaming maniac this week (acid reflux, they say), so my TV time has dwindled from slim to nothing.  I was hoping to catch it last night, but the screaming got in the way.

[joneszilla]

Its on tonight at midnite.  and tom. at 10pm.

If you have comcast and you have HBO On Demand is free i think.

[Zanshin]

Nah, don't have on demand.  I have U.S. Cable in No. NJ, which I have as an alternative to CableVision...mostly because CableVision is evil. But U.S. Cable doesn't offer On Demand.  Besides, even if I had it...the prospects of being able to watch an actual hour of TV this week don't look very promising.

Episode 06
"Plague"

"Treat the hoople-heads free, that's cheap good will."

Directed by: Davis Guggenheim
Written by: Malcolm MacRury

Synopsis
On the trail of the murderer Jack McCall, Seth Bullock is ambushed. Though he manages to kill the Indian who attacked him, Bullock is beaten and bloodied and soon collapses.

Back in Deadwood, a john falls ill at the Gem, showing the same symptoms that felled Andy Cramed. Worse news follows when Joey, Tolliver's messenger, arrives back at the Bella Union without having made Nebraska. He, too, is becoming ill and was not able to bring back the smallpox vaccine. Doc Cochran tells Swearengen about the outbreak, but the news is kept quiet for the time being.

Smallpox is not the only thing on Swearengen's mind; he is still determined to steal Alma Garrett's gold claim. He sends Farnum to spy on the widow to find out if Trixie has succeeded in re-addicting her to dope, but Farnum reports back to Al that she's not high. Al confronts Trixie and makes it clear that she is to dope the widow--or else.

Knowing that Swearengen means business, Trixie tells Alma to fake intoxication whenever Farnum shows up. Alma understands, playing the part perfectly, and Al is immensely pleased when he gets the report.

Calamity Jane returns to Deadwood, and heads to Cochran's office to get an update on the Metz girl. The doctor doesn't want to deal with Jane, but is surprised when she tells him that she knows about the smallpox. Jane explains that she's been caring for Cramed, and Cochran realizes she may be immune to the disease.

Despite the growing number of smallpox cases, it's business as usual at the Bella Union, where Ellsworth is spending a lot of time at the craps table. Tension grows between Tolliver and Joanie Stubbs, and when she shows a soft spot for Ellsworth, the boss makes it clear that she needs to improve her work in the Union-or he'll give her a reason to be morose.

Outside of Deadwood, Charlie Utter finds Bullock, still unconscious from the attack. Charlie cleans him up, and when Seth comes around, he tells Utter about Hickok's death. Utter is eager to make his way back into town, but Bullock presses him to carry the corpse of the Indian to a proper resting place in a show of respect.

Realizing the growing smallpox threat, a small group of Deadwood's town leaders meet at the Gem. It is decided that they will put together money to pay for riders to get the smallpox vaccine. They also decide to set up a tent for those afflicted.

In his newspaper, Merrick-with heavy editorial influence from Swearengen--tries to minimize the fears that will no doubt arise when the rest of the town learns of the outbreak. The tent is erected for the sick, staffed by Cochran, Reverend Smith and Calamity Jane.
