Deadwood Season 3

[Deathstroke]

While it's still months before the third season premieres I figured to get this started now.

The first new bit of news I have for the thread is that actor Brian Cox (The Bourne movies, Braveheart) will join the show as producer and theater owner Jack Langrishe.

[Inkthinker]

Just actually forced the first season onto a buddy of mine who's suffering a period without cable reception. I said, "I know you think you don't like Westerns, but you'll like this."

And he was all, "pfft, whatever, man".

But then he watched 'em all, and now he's all snippy that I don't have season two for him.

:D

So yeah... Deadwood is still about half the reason I pay for HBO.

[Deathstroke]

Mark Tinker has been added to the third season of the show behind the scenes. He'll be an executive producer and director.

[Deathstroke]

The third season of Deadwood has been pushed back until June 2006 by HBO.

It was going to run in conjunction with The Sopranos but the network moved it to give the timeslot to a new series.

dont forget stryker on x2

and damn, thats a looong time

[Deathstroke]

Unconfirmed by HBO are rumors that a fourth season of the show is thisclose to being ordered despite the third season not having aired a single episode yet.

[the_coldest_sun]

I absolutely LOVED the first season. I didnt miss an episode. Then i moved and my roommate didnt have HBO, so I completely missed the second season. I was shocked and upset to learn that the first episode of the 2nd season was basically what the first season lead up to. I can't believe I missed it. I did catch the second episode at a friend's house but it made me even more sad.

[Deathstroke]

Gale Harold (Queer As Folk) will play Wyatt Earp on the series.

[Deathstroke]

It appears that the third season will be the last!

[Error_2.0]

I loved the 1st season, but didn't like the 2nd season anywhere near as much, mostly because it drifted too far away from the actual history (Who incapacitates their show's best character for half the season?!). But even though I wasn't too pleased with season 2, I am still pissed to hear that this show will end after 3 seasons.

Yes, indeed. A shame really, 3 seasons? Why'd HBO cancel Carnivale then? Maybe it's a take some time off to write (Sopranos style). Nad news, friends, there will never be another like Al Sweringen. "run for your fucking life, " Al talking to Jack Mccall.

That really sucks. I could've sworn that I read an article online recently where Milch said that he always envisoned Deadwood running 4 years.

[noh-varr]

That sucks. I had just read an interview with teh creator a few weeks ago talking about what he wanted to start the 4th season with as THAT was going to be the last season. So does this change things? Will we advance plots to get to the end of the camp? Or will the season end as it already stands? If so that's damn disapointing. I was already upset it was going to only be another two seasons, HBO needs to give us a complete finish damnit!

They cancelled Carnivale because of the incredibly bad ratings for the second season. The lack of quality for season 2 might also have played into the decision.

[Deathstroke]

Deadwood is really, truly, officially dead.

Read about it here! (http://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800002430)

[noh-varr]

Ok what I don't get is why doesn't Milch take the 6 episodes and finishes up as best as possible? Especially with the rumor that this season ends with a cliffhangerish end. With how much they have put into one episode and made it wonderful already 6 episodes of Deadwood equal a lot of plot, depth and character. Though damn if HBO shouldn't just give us the one final full season. I'm just mad in general, but still looking forward to the new season.

[Deathstroke]

David Milch and HBO have come to an agreement to film two 2 hour movies to complete the Deadwood story following the conclusion of the upcoming third season.

I just read about the two movie specials on another site, very cool. I guess we won't get to see Swerangen's final fate, which is good. I really don't want to see that take place on screen.
One week til new Deadwood yay!

[sehthan]

And it's begun.

This season's opener wasn't as explosive as last season's, but it did have one striking (pun intended) similarity. From the preview it looks like next episode is where things start to get serious, but it was nice to catch up with the characters first.

Bullock and Al continue to be the most fascinating duo on TV. What's awesome about them is, in theory, by traditional context, you know which one is supposed to be the hero and which one the villain. But in practice, when Al does more than anyone to maintain order in the camp, and Bullock vascilates between turning a blind eye to things and violent rages? McShane tends to get most of the attention, it often seems, and he deserves it. But Olyphant's seething Bullock is, for my money, even more frightening.

[IamtheRock3]

yea bullock got a bit of temper there

Very slow start..but expostion episode

next episode looks awesome..unless HBO pulling thier famous priview for next episode trickery, that they did with the sopranoes this season.

[SteelTownr]

I love this show, I really have to pay attention to it in order to follow it.

[IamtheRock3]

wow hearts a real animal

A man with power issues...only like people he can own

And basicly thinking his black servant his best freind show you a sign of that. Like her because end of the day he controls her.

I loved it when Richardson gave the thumbs up after he learned his job was safe.

By the way, I hope Alma Garrett Ellsworth has learned her lesson.

[Mac Danny]

Mark B.

Me too, I love the language of it, but it;s a little like listening to a drunk shakespeare. There are plainer ways to say things. it takes some concentration for me to undrstand what anyone is talking about but I love it.

For a show that uses the word C@#*&Sucker a lot. they sure go out of thier way to tell other characters of more status that they are C@#*&Suckers without saying C@#*&Sucker.

The episode 2 conversation between Al and Herst comes to mind.

I can't wait till Al gets his revenge..

Now when I Rome back?

[Deathstroke]

Do you want to know how many times they say The F Word in the show?

This site should be what you are looking for! (http://www.thewvsr.com/deadwood.htm)

[IamtheRock3]

Wow that was brutal


I think Hertz lost it

But my dad think he got a plan up his sleeve

What the heck that plan can possibly be is beyond me.

[Inkthinker]

YOWZA.

Hosteadtler's suicide was depressing as hell, though... I really hope it somehow haunts Steve the Drunk in some unexpected way. What a dick. I really don't know what to take from it otherwise. He was paid and gone, all he had to do was walk away from it all, and Steve could spend the rest of his pathetic life worrying about nothing.

I was seriously scared for Dan, though. With this show, there was really no reason to take his survival for granted, so that fight was not only brutal but entirely gripping.

I don't know that Hearst planned to get arrested, but I expect he'll turn it to his own ends somehow.

[Julusnc]

I want Al to use his knife so bad I can taste it......He needs to cut some CS's throat.

I did enjoy last night's episode more than the entire past season of Sopranos.

[hoffmandu]

Dan Dougherty for teh win! I really thought that was gonna go the other way until.....

THE EYE GOUGE! BOOYA! Nice one, Danno!

[Deathstroke]

Last night was a really good episode.

However, despite Dan being the Man, my favorite part of the show was the scene with Sol and Trixie!

[SteelTownr]

Great Episode, I loved the subtle nod that Al gave Dan.

I think Sol may be my favorite character on the show. While everyone else is running around feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, he just lies back and waits for the next time he's getting sex.


SEAN

[Ontir]

I think by the time I get to see a single episode of this show, it'll be finished with this, it's final season, which is too bad. With "Six Feet Under," and "Queer as Folk" gone, I'm looking for something new to Netflik!

[Deathstroke]

I'm actually kind of loving Trixie. She is just cracking me up with how she just slices and dices with her mouth.

[SteelTownr]

I can't figure the angle between Lagrish's actress friend and Sy's Bartender hooking up.

Am I missing something?

Sometimes it seems to me like Trixie notices everything that is going on. She knows about everything in the camp and hates all of it. When she tries to tell someone she gets so frustrated by thier not noticing what she sees as obvious, she just gives up and keeps smoking.

Awsome!

Poor Hostettler (Sp)...

I hope Steve The Drunk gets taken out by one of the horses.

As for Trixie, if I was going to be hooking up with a hooker in the Old West, she's the one I'd want.

[hoffmandu]

I'm betting Languishes woman is banging the guy for info. Or maybe, transmitting an STD to him, and then to Tolliver's whores.

Trixie for some reason has this pathological inability to say exactly what she means. (Unless offering sex.)

It's amazing. She'll talk around the truth and hint at the truth and act like everyone is an idiot for not getting what she's hinting at... but she's incapable of outright saying it. "Hey Sol, I think Doc has the TB! Hey Sol, Mrs. Ellsworth is back on drugs!"

I wonder why she's got that weird block. Maybe she feels like if she says it, she's making it real?

[hoffmandu]

Okay, WTF is going on here. Last nights episode rocked as usual. Though, it was supposed to be the last of the season. I was under the impression there was only going to be 6 episodes in season 3, then 2 2-hour movies. Yet, at the end of the show, there was the "next week on Deadwood" thing going on. Awesome awesome awesome.

[Corsair]

Season 3 is still a full twelve episodes.

There was some talk about doing a half season of six episodes to wrap up the series before they settled on the two 2-hour movies thing. Probably what you were thinking of.

So, another half season? As in 6 episodes of season 4? Fucking wicked.

No.

There's still six episodes left of Season 3, and then they are reportedly going to do 2 two hour movies. That's it. There is NO SEASON FOUR.

By the way, last night's best stuff was the conversation between Al and Trixie, and Joanie and Jane. Oh, and Jane's comment to the general about how she thinks about her popularity among other white people. That cracked me up.

[Expletive Deleted]

I hope Steve The Drunk gets taken out by one of the horses.If they go by the real history, that's probably not Steve's fate.

[Deathstroke]

Paula Malcolmson, who plays one of my favorites on the show Trixie, has been cast on ER as a widow and love interest for John Stamos.

Whoo Hoo, more viewing opportunity for me. Though it will be with decidedly less nudity and no violent cursing that I've come to love from her, I'll take it.

You think maybe it comes from being a frontier whore?

[Julusnc]

I just want to see Al draw blood with his blade one last time before the show ends......Ian McShane is the main man of Deadwood and everyone else is a cocksucker.

I like to see people working from shows I likes. good for her.

TRUE.. It will be hard to see him as anyone else when he does other work..

I'll even be waiting for his Kung Fu panda to say Cocksucker..

SWIN-GIN!!

Is it just me, or do you find yourself adopting the speech pattern of the how if you watch more than one epsiode in a row.. Not so much running around your house calling everyone a cunt or a cocksucker, but just talking in that purposefully flowery gritty speech.

I found I did the same thing with firefly..

Anyone else do this?

Of course, we could find out next week that Hearst pegged him as a con man right from the start.

I knew that Pinkerton was dead when Al invited him up. "Just passin' some wind."

[Julusnc]

Okay I watched last nights episode and was happy as hell to see Al in action.

I am wondering if I am the only one that does not understand the theatre troupe and the two new dark haired women?

With only two episodes left -

Deadwood is an awesome show just to go into the sunset with so many questions unanswered.

[Inkthinker]

Well, we're supposed to get at least one (or is it two?) 4-hour "movies" after the final episode of this season, but yeah... it's a damn crime that they should cut this short while other series get 4 or 5 seasons.

and bullock is about to break some meter next week...

was not expecting that guy to die

Shame..like him. But realisitic I guess.

Trixy SCREWED...next time bring a bigger gun

Also what ever happen to the baby of the window..seem to disapear

[Inkthinker]

Soooo... huh.

Kinda weak for a finale. Is the word still that we don't get another season, just a four-hour miniseries to top it all off?

Leon, Leon, Leon... oh well. He was a schmuck.

But yeah... no real sense of righteous justice in any case. And in the end, what to make of Al Swearengen?

I hope the four-hour finale allows us to see Bullock really blow his top, 'cause the pressure buildup tonight was torturous without any real sense of payoff.

[Sean Whitmore]

the pressure buildup tonight was torturous without any real sense of payoff.


Completely agreed.

I was kinda hoping Al would spare Jen and tell Hearst to screw himself. Which STILL would have been, like, half a season overdue.

started to cancel everything in site. If they cancelling this show,they
better not renewal Lucky Louie another season or.......................

[Inkthinker]

It's a very expensive show to make, it would seem. Last I heard, they could not get everthing in place for a fourth season, but they planned to shoot a four-hour miniseries finale.

[estee]

Just got into watching this show. Started with the third season.

Great stuff.

I love the flowery 19th century language. Some episodes are better than other, but it still has that great use of language. I am especially impressed with the delivery made by the American actors. This kind of dialogue must be a bit hard to speak but they all make it feel natural. Well done. It also forces the viewer to pay attention cuz these guys say so little with so much and it's hard to find their meaning.

Also I have to say it has the best female cast that I've seen on TV in a long time. Each woman has a unique voice and character, and performed by strong actresses.

But I don't understand why Calamity Jane is so fearful all the time? Wasn't she supposed to be the shit back in the Old West? Oh well, the actress is doing a great job regardless.
