Yeah tolliver is nutso. I had a bit of trouble understanding his line this season. I'll have to brush up via on demand.

Frustrated. Frustrated, self-destructive and lashing out. Frustrated at bowing before Hearst and getting nothing from it. Frustrated with his injuries. Compare and contrast with EB in a similar situation, left to only mumbling to himself...


In some ways, Deadwood really confounds me... Tolliver was really setup as a foil for Swerenger. An even eviler version of Swerenger the anti-hero. But then as they're still circling each other, Hearst rides in and takes over the whole season. Was Powers Booth incapacited in real life? Did they need to reduce his role for that reason? And then there's the Earps, you'd expect an awful lot more payoff than that... And I have no idea where the acting troop was going. WTF?

OTOH, they really set the whole thing up with Jenny really well. Gradulally working her in as Johnny's sweetheart over several episodes.

Great, great show that will be missed!
