"True Colors"





Someone else is going to have to start the thread for this and Entourage next week and the week after, I'll be on vacation without cable or the internet

Ravenous

I posted this else where but maybe this is the thread to post.

Is it me or does this season seem stripped down? The town seems smaller and less packed, the cast seems smaller (no Wu yet, where he been?) and the outside seems like a new land. Also, the dialogue seems simpler and less riddle like.

So Cox is playing a gay guy right? I hope thats handled well and not cliched bullshit, as it will easily be well done or kill the series for me.

I don't think the town is "smaller" by any means, i just think these first two episodes have been spent focusing on the political struggle. The dialogue is still kinda tough to follow, but i have no problem watching this show twice and if you have any questions about other characters returning why don't you check the plot description, it might help

Cox was good, but then he always is. Glad to see him in the show, had no idea he was gonna be. And it was good to see Wu back now also... and was one of Cox's actor ladies the prostitue mom from Carnivalle?

Red Dog

Brokeback meets Sopranos, then Rescue Me, now Deadwood - all within a few months.

Dydion

Yes, that WAS the prostitue Mom. Until I read your post I thought she might have been Lila, the bearded lady, but now I think you're right. She looks like she might'a gained some weight, too.

Looks like Hearst has both Tolliver AND Al over a barrel...for now...can't wait to see that "heavy hand" come down on Tolliver's snout, if it ever comes. I hate that sonofabitch. Looks like he's getting cowardly, too.

How about Wu's new word..."HO!!"

aktick

Good ep. Setting up a lot of potential events.

How historically accurate is this show? If it's been pretty close, anybody care to put in spoilers what happens to Hearst or Al?

SWEARENGEN: "Tuesdays, he'll often hold Amateur Nights. I been to several. Guy farted it seems near an hour."

BURNS: "Don't sound like no amateur."

Cusm

Al



You know of Hearst's legacy but for him

Fielding Mellish

So, if I had to guess who eventually comes out on top...



EDIT: Oops. It appears that Cusm beat me to the punch!

They need to give Trixie and Sol a variety show.

So does Doc have lung-cancer or something?

I noticed his voice was off a few episodes ago, and that he'd been speaking less, but yikes, I hope they don't kill him off, he's one of my favorite characters.

Sean O'Hara

I'm guessing TB, which, when combined with the new actor-in-residence and



leads me to think Milch is paying homage to My Darling Clementine.

MrX

"I'm concerned that her temperament is labile"

"I guess that means she'e talking through her ****" I love Trixie

Pretty good episode.

Our first Wu/Al scene of the season

Roper

Could someone please post a pic of Richardson's thumbs up to Farnum? My desktop could use new wallpaper.

bralph

That was hilarious, but I'm not sure I could look at that face every time I turned on my computer.

andicus

Agreed, since he was shooing Trixie out when he'd coughed for fear of contagiousness.

And yes, the woman that showed up is Cynthia Ettinger, who played Rita Sue on Carnivale. Glad to see her make an appearance!

Bateman

TB was the first thing I though as well.

Turd Ferguson

More great lines from this week:

EB: Candidly, Richardson, as I imagine you foraging for berries and grubs, and flicking at insects with your sticky tongue, I feel a certain dismay.

Richardson: What are you talking about?

EB: You are to be discharged, fool. As, I suspect in a wink of time, once some stage from a different direction arrives with my replacement, am I.

Richardson: What did we do wrong?

EB: Your error, surprisingly enough, is not to be a grotesque of inconceivable stupidity, but that you are white and male and not repulsively obese. As for my own, I wonder if it lies in an excessive courtesy and eagerness to please.
________________________________________________________________

Trixie: My God, look at Wu. Lost his mind in San Francisco.
Al: You think he married the **********?
Trixie: I’m talking about his suit.
________________________________________________________________

Hearst: Having secured your approval as to my hiring plans, I wonder now if I might elicit the information I came for, which is in regard to Mrs. Ellsworth.

EB: I am abjectly at your disposal.

Hearst: For some time, without the unseemliness of approaching her directly, I have sought without success to generate a connection with Mrs. Ellsworth.

EB: A haughty ****. Formerly weak for dope. Most fundamentally a sexual peccant, though I’m sworn against providing specifics.

Hearst: Now, as it seems of her own volition, Mrs. Ellsworth appoints to meet with me, leading me to wonder what change in her situation prompts her approach.

EB: I will look into that, Sir, vigorously and immediately.

Hearst: You don’t know.

EB: I do not know at present.

Hearst: Just send her up when she gets here.

EB: I can seek the knowledge out. I can pursue it as a first priority.

Hearst: Just send her the fuck up.

MrX

I loved that line. Looks like the ass kicking Bullock gave him worked

Elsworth was killing me when in the same room w/ Hearst.

"I'll not be insulted in my own rooms, Mr. Elsworth."

"Where shall we go for me to do it?"

david12

Loved Ellsworth in this episode. Acted like a real husband and showed some sack that has been lacking. Great season so far. There hasn't been a minute I haven't enjoyed. Scared about the Doc though. He is one of my favorite characters and one of the only characters who truly looks out for the best of the camp no matter what. Essential if you ask me.

boredsilly

That was awesome.

That Hearst is one scary bastard. Definately the best outside "villain" the show has had so far. Major Dad is nailing the role perfectly. This may sound dumb (and make little sense), but I love that this show seems to let actors act. There is always a scene or two (if not whole episodes) that seem worthy of study to me.

Acting School - Semester One - Day One - First Project - Watch Deadwood, you fucking cocksuckers!

Turd Ferguson

Your wish is my command.
