Deadwood this week.

Im not sure if i remember correctly but is that woman and boy Bullocks dead brother's family that he took on as a favor? 

[Susquehanna Birder]

You are correct. I'm not sure if they are legally married, but Bullock introduces them as his wife and son, but in conversation, it's mentioned that he's taken responsibility for his brother's family.

Yea I was a bit confused on that myself.  Which now makes sense, especially since next episode, Bullock seems to want to get the hell out of DeadWood with the rich bitch.  My guess is that she ends up dead at some point of this season.

[Zanshin]

Yep.  Had mentioned that last season, too.  I know that the majority of the character history is accurate (including the Bullock family stuff), but it also reminded me a bit of the Earp situation in Tombstone.

Last nights episode was weak.  Bullock got his gun and hat back, thats about it.  Although the part where the hookers got her thumb up Al's butt was pretty damn funny. 

[Zanshin]

The writers layed the purple prose on a little thick last night, I thought.  Still enjoyed watching it, but I hope the show doesn't start becoming a caricature of itself already.

[Father Demon]

The cryptic language is getting tough to follow completely, for me at least.  Also, I noticed that there were probably a dozen eff-bombs in the first three minutes of the show.

I'm with you -- for such a great show last year, I would hate for it to suck this season.

I had to go to the HBO site to figure out some of what happened. There's a nice episode write up on there that helps out. If I have to do that everyweek, I'm going to be out.

What's the deal with Al? I'm trying to remember if he complained of other symptoms. Does he have a prostate problem or something?

I thought the episode was okay, not nearly as good as Part I. Good to see more Doc and Jane though.

It sure seems that way either that or an STD. 

I thought lastnights episode was good, though the dialogue is getting a bit tough.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I pretty much thought that when I watched the very first episode a while back. I took it as typical of how people spoke around their points rather than being totally direct. That's part of the charm - it actually takes some mental effort to get everything out of it. But I agree...last night was particuarly tough to listen to casually.

I was thinking stones...   trying to remember how the real Al died.  I know he was penniless, but I think it was an accident that killed him, and not some kind of disease....

[Drunkmasterflex]

I thought he was murdered?

[Phanatic]

The nightly take at the Gem averaged $5,000 and probably reached as high as $10,000, yet Swearengen died broke, killed by a train while trying to hitch a ride in Denver as a common tramp.

Cool site about the historical people of Deadwood.
