Someone has to cut the cheese, and then be forced to jump out the window.

In the middle of a rewatch. So many great characters, hard to pick a favorite. EB is so great. Love Doc too and haven’t even gotten to Steve yet. Holy shit Kristen Bell. Maybe that is why she felt familiar in FSM.

I loved that episode. Cy was a real prick.

Shame both Powers Boothe and Ricky Jay are gone now.

[coldengrey12]

Does Cy have any redeeming qualities?

[Gene Parmesan]

He provided the camp with smallpox facilities. And that line.

Him talking to Hearst always cracks me the fuck up. Hearst always looks like he wants to kill him

I finished Season 3 rewatch last night. Man, a real shame they had to rush and throw it all together in the end. So many lose ends. Really looking forward to the movie.

TIL that Dillahunt is not the only actor who appeared in multiple speaking roles — the same actor plays Tim Driscoll and Shaughnessy.

Tonight's the night, hooples!

It's getting many positive reviews.

I'm doubtful that anything can live up to 13 years of expectations, but I'm just so glad it exists.

[OK_Ant]

Fuck yeah!

[ToySoldier#34]

I've never seen Deadwood but about to watch

[OK_Ant]

That was good. I got fuckin' misty-eyed.

[TwoStep2888]

was it good, I need to get HBO

[OK_Ant]

To be left wanting fucking more... ha ha.

[ToySoldier#34]

I stopped watching after a half hour

[coldengrey12]

I really liked it, but I can see why people wouldn't, especially if there were ... gonna spoil tag just in case ...

People who wanted to see Al in what he would call his "previous fucking state," being the de facto dictator of town as opposed to his powerless, final, reduced days.

I'm also not sure WTF brought Alma back to town except for the plot. She said something about the bank, I think, but we never see her go there.

I think it was implied that Bullock is why she came back.

Upon further reflection, it feels like this should have been a 4 or 6 episode limited series. 2 hours felt like not enough time to really delve deeper into the characters again. But I suppose we should be grateful for what we got after all these years.

Yeah, I watched it again and it's very clear that's why she came back.

"The bank? Oh, yes, Charlie, the bank. That's why I'm here. Of course. No other reason at all."

Yet we never see a single scene of her at the bank. Hmm. Curious.

This should be interesting. https://www.vulture.com/article/best...es-ranked.html

...anyways...

I really enjoyed the movie. Mostly because it was just cool to get to see these characters one last time. I think they did a decent job coming up with a story for a one-off, extended episode. They absolutely could've developed this into a short series of episodes but 2 hours is all they got from HBO.

I loved seeing Al Swearingen in his reduced state. What a great contrast from his character we had come to know. An excellent performance from Ian McShane. It was fitting to see him near death and being tended to by the 2 women in his life who loved him and who he loved back. I was hoping to see more of Jane than we got.

Goddamn, I just read David Milch was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

I think it's available through Amazon.

[TwoStep2888]

Cool, I'll have to give it a watch this week

[TwoStep2888]

watched the movie tonight, thought it was a perfect epilogue/wrap-up to the series

I thought it was really satisfying.

A lot of appropriate endings for the characters. Jane in particular.
