Deadwood - "Unauthorized Cinnamon" - 7/23/06


"Unauthorized Cinnamon"
Spoiler:
Odell makes Hearst a proposition involving "the color," causing his mother to fret further for his safety. The camp elders hold another Gem meeting (sans Doc Cochran), complete with peaches and cinnamon, to map out a strategy to deal with Hearst. Their solution, proposed by Bullock via a letter to the family of a slain Cornishman, promises to make news in The Pioneer. Blazanov violates a communication credo for the supposed good of the camp. Langrishe's theater renovations are delayed by illness of Chesterton, hovering near death in the Grand Central. Steve offers Fields a reason to stay in Deadwood, though the latter won't bite. Jane is convinced to bunk up with Stubbs at Shaunessy's. Cloth swatches, given to Swearengen by a tailor, are put to a different use by an ailing Cochran.

For once I think I actually completely followed what transpired in an episode.

That's because it was filler.

I love the stuff with the peaches.

How bad is it that one that makes his profession in the most confusing language in the land has trouble understanding the show.


I loved the title. As usual loved the Jane and Richardson scenes.

Is Alma falling for Elsworth? I get the vibe that she is wanting him home for more than a front and a baby sitter.

Who'd have thought a plot device as simple as cinnamon could be so damn entertaining and funny? Great episode.

Al's facial expressions while the dude was showing him fabric options for his hand were pricesless.

this show sure likes to take its time. It's like they're trying to avoid any action and resolution. I still love the show, but stop talking and do something.

When he first showed up, Ellsworth seemed pretty meek. I think between taking care of Sophia and standing up to Hearst, he's given her good reason to look at it more than a marriage of convenience.

Their meeting with Hearst was one of my favorites this season.

Here's a great Steve exchange from this week:

Steve: And what would be my position? Oughtn’t I attend as the livery’s new owner?

Tom: Hostetler never attended.

Steve: Prior to blowing off his fucking head, Hostetler was a **********. Last I looked I’m white!

Rutherford: True, as, uh, far as it goes.

Harry: I can abstain from attending if that closes the can of peas.

Tom: Oh, uh uh, you are a candidate for public office with a chance to put the fire wagon on the table.

Steve: If it’s a question of room, shove two fucking tables together!

Tom: Room is not the issue, Steve., if you have to see my down card. (Johnny starts making his way to the back of the bar) I do not vouch for you, nor presume to bring you uninvited, as I do Harry, because you are not the same quality person.

Steve: Meaning I’m not fanatic for fucking fire wagons like Harry and all the other five-year-olds.

"This is my place, do you think it's yours? It is not, it is mine bought and paid for and if I wanted to shit this instant in the middle of this stable no man, black or white, could gainsay me!

"You already fucked a horse"

"Nor will I stoop to explaining the mistake in that statement to a ****** lemur or some other small form of monkey"

Same here!

I must admit I've only been watching since the middle of season 2 and on, and yes some more action would be nice however when I hear those characters talking I'm as mystified as a pooch hearing a dog whistle. It sounds like a weird mix of poetry, haiku, old school western talk and Richard Pryor

Don't really have much to add other than the fact I finally caught up with all the episodes last night.

Is anyone else of the mind that we may learn Mrs. Bullock had a hand in penning that letter?

My favorite part was Dan and Adams trying to explain to Johnny what was actually decided (and why) at the meeting without having a clue themselves.
