Re: Deadwood, 7/23
I didn't like it that much as the others. But shows usually slump in the mid-season. I'm getting a little tired of the Jack/Swearengen storyline not being fleshed out anymore, he just seems like an easy trick to have a narrator with keen insight explain the actions of Al lately to the viewers too dumb to figure it out themselves. The scene with Jack and Al in his office is an example. Although there is some comedy in seeing Al completely at his wit's end and he knows it.
Although in this episode they actually made Hearst a little more complex as a character, when he begins weeping about being an outcast for his pursuit of the color, something he views as completely logical. Does anyone know if Hearst was anything like the borderline psycohpath he is on the show?
