I just saw this luke wilson, drew barrymore movie I think It was called Best Men the doc played a ex-vietnam chopper pilot with flashbacks.Just noticed that Brad Dourif, who plays Doc Cochran, also played Grima Wormtongue in Lord of The Rings, and is also the voice of Chucky in all 4 Chucky movies.
And for you Al Swearengen fans, take a look at THIS Ebay item.

This is the best service ever offered by a cable company and best of all it is free! I would definately ask my provider about getting this service if you don't already have it 
Milch is hammering viewers with the morality and lawlessness conflict that is personified in the Swearengen and Bullock characters.The Rome preview caught my interest as well - would love it if HBO can pull it off.
A) we don't know Cy just mentiond he was missing, I suppose we are supposed to assume he slowly stole the $ and took off.B) no answer here either we are just suposed to accept it I guess, he was fire marshal so maybe that had something to do with it.
Just picked up a copy of The Real Deadwood at work today. It's a book detailing the myths and legends behind the real town, full of interesting facts and a few misspellings.Deadwood grew from a population of 800 to 5,000 in a matter of months in 1876. The gold found there was considered to be very easy to mine, residing in surface rock (mostly limestone); some prospectors didn't bother panning at all, but hacked gold out of hillsides with butcher knives.
I believe Patty Hearst, of Simbionese Liberation Army fame, is descended from George Hearst. George Hearst owned the San Francisco Examiner, which was Patty Hearst's daddy's paper. George Hearst had some of the biggest mining hits in U.S. history, including Comstock, Homestake, and Anaconda. But I'm sure he was a helluva nice guy in spite of it.
Go read your American history. He was the olden day's Ted Turner. (edit - or Donald Trump)Anyone else catch that the guy who plays Hearst's representative, Mr. Wolcott, is the same actor who playted Jack McCall inseason one? If not, they are dead lookalikes - right down to the closed left nostril and googley-eyes (he squinted the left one as Jack McCall, he keeps it open as Mr. Wolcott, but it still looks lik ggogley to me).
See my post - it was the eyes and nostril in addition to the voice that did it for me.Wish I'd left it as a "guess this" like you did.
The foulness of the language is not what bothers me. I find it incredible to think a town of prospectors, criminals, whores and gamblers would all speak like like Shakespearean scholars. It is unrealistic and becomming extremely annoying.[On a side note - very disappointed with the Carnivale conclusion last night.]
Totally agree on Carnivalle. I'm all ready for a huge battle of heaven and hell, and I get a blunt force trauma, a repeat of a rape scene, and a scarecrow.Very bad ending. I can't believe I allowed myself to get sucked into that show.
)I think my favorite scene this week was the Ellsworth/Woolcott confrontation at the mine works. Ellsworth moving up the favorite characters list quickly after that showdown. Excellent point given the fact that Tolliver and Farnum were completely kissing butt after they learned Wolcott worked for Hearst. Ellsworth was great!!!!I think my favorite scene this week was the Ellsworth/Woolcott confrontation at the mine works. Ellsworth moving up the favorite characters list quickly after that showdown.
Wow....look at all of those ####'s..... :rotflmao: That's Deadwood for ya!
Agreed about Ellsworth. I didn't mention that, but both scenes with Ellsworth - the confrontation with Wolcott and the explanation to the widow - were good. I'm wondering how it's all going to play out, though, since there was speculation earlier in this thread that Garrett's claim may wind up being Hearst's Homestake claim. I thought before last night's episode that she might wind up selling, but after Ellsowrth's recommendation, that doesn't look likely. I expect her father to resurface at some point this season, and given his financial troubles, willingness to use his daughter, and the way they're portraying Hearst and Wolcott, I wonder if he might wind up on Hearst's payroll, but who knows.Also, it's not the lack of instant gratification regarding Bullock's family storyline that I mind, it's the fact that I can't force myself to have any interest in those scenes at all. I like depth and character development and that sort of thing, but I find the fact that they've hardly even made eye contact in 4 episodes a bit overboard.As usual, an excellent episode.
I think Al will be in rare form as he needs to play "catch up" on what's been happening with the Hearst representative (i.e., camp rumors) and the visiting government official.
BTW, its clear that Adams has placed his bet squarely on Al. He went so far as to tell the government official that he should meet with him. Then when Dan confided in him re: Al's condition, the look on his face was priceless.
This may have left him open to do something he normally wouldn't with regard to the nanny's visit and accusation about the widow. I guess we'll just have to be patient and see. (Or we could immediately blast the lack of instant gratification a la the Bullock family storyline.
I think my favorite scene this week was the Ellsworth/Woolcott confrontation at the mine works. Ellsworth moving up the favorite characters list quickly after that showdown.
The dialogue IS hard to follow at times with everyone talking like redneck Yodas.Great episode though. And plenty of great exhanges: EB/Alma, Dan/Wu, Dan/Earless guy, Ellsworth/Wolcott....good stuff.
I used to work for one of the mining companies mentioned in their exchange.I think my favorite scene this week was the Ellsworth/Woolcott confrontation at the mine works. Ellsworth moving up the favorite characters list quickly after that showdown.
