Deadwood - 'Complications' - 4/03/05
As a convalescing Swearengen bridles, Cochran schools Burns and Dority how best to assist his recovery. Alma is also feeling unwell, mornings. Unexpected profits at the Chez Ami lead Tolliver to an unexpected discovery about Wolcott. Merrick posts a provocative statement from Yankton on title to the claims; Bullock protects Commissioner Jarry from an angry mob, which redirects its ire. After returning a horse to Hostetler at the livery, professional go-between Samuel Fields finds a kindred spirit in Jane.
Good to see Jane back.

Awesome episode. The conversations with 'Nigge r General' and Jane were quite amusing.
Bullock delivered a great line..."I'll motherfuck you, and blow your head off!"

Wow ,I'd say Miss Isringhausen is defenitely working for someone ,( Alma's father or Broms Parents) ..Now I'm thinking maybe she is an undercover agent for the Pinkertons. I wonder if they used women for things like that back then?
Great Episode,I can't get enough of this show

Is this the first time the General Nig (great dig by his uncle) was mentioned?

Loved how Al is starting to get his attitude back, barking at his henchmen while still recovering.
One thing I wasn't sure about, why did the mob try to tar the General? Were they just angry about missing the Commissioner and were looking to hurt anyone?

Yeah, I didn't understand that either. I thought their plan was to go after the General to distract Bullock so the others could get to the Commish.

Just a demonstration of scapegoating.
And my favorite line from the ep was from Al to Bullock, meeting for the first time since giving back his gun and badge: "You got a lot of nerve showing up here so pretty."

Fantastic episode! I have to see this one again. I didn't record it, but it's on HBO 2 tonight.
So are we to presume that Bullock is the daddy?
It was funny when Johnny kept wispering Bullock's name and gesturing rather then coming right out and saying it. Then Al had to yell "BULLOCK!" for him to come into the room.

I still don't understand the hate Ms. Isrignhausen has for Alma? Is there something more there that we don't know about because it can't just be the fact that she was fired.

I think I stated last week, I velieve she's working for Mr. Wolcott. Alma is the largest gold outfit in Deadwood, I think. It makes sense for Wolcott to use more devious tactics to force her to sell.

Well, killing her won't help.

that kind of scapegoating against blacks was very common for over 70 years following the civil war, anytime a group of whites was riled up about something they were liable to lynch/maim/terrorize the first black they saw.

Had Bullock been unduly held up with the tarring, I'm sure some guys would have still gone after the commissioner, but he took the wind out of their sails real quickly.
I love the uneasy alliance between Bullock and Al. It gives Bullock's character so much more depth than he had before.

There are 2 lines that I like.
The way the guy said 'And then they start mitigatin!' is something that I will repeat over and over and over at work.
And the second, which I will probably never say out loud is when Trixie is talking to Alma and says 'First I gotta finish my Jew lessons'. As Dave Chappelle would say, some people have their rascism honed so much that even though you don't agree you gotta give em props for making it 'Tre Magnifique'.
