Al's Poor Finger - Deadwood

[mikey11147]

I've often wondered if the unexpected cancellation of Deadwood wasn't in part due to the ire of the Hearst family.

[ihatealigators]

This is the action that made me want Hearst dead. He took a powerful, smart, likable man like Al and completely dominated him. We could always rely, if not on anyone else, on Swearengen to be a strong pillar in Deadwood... Hearst took even that away.

Really wish I could have watched that fucker get his throat slit.

[ontariobuds]

I always loved the look of the deadwood camp at night with all the flares and fires.

[Jackchiefs6717]

I fucking hate fucking Hearst, cocksucker.

[Necroticpus]

I would dearly love to see how Al would deal with it if Doc Holliday came into town. Maybe try to hire him?

[robwilson420]

Man I wanted a season 4 finale that ended with Al cutting Hearsts throat.

[Abobojo]

Question: How fuckin well would Hearst do against Al without Capt Turner?

[SuperTornado2212]

Wow! This guy is Evil! Hearst is tuffer than Cy, Al and Seth

I can't wait to see seasons 2 & 3

[SuperTornado2212]

@joanieStubbs Thanks for posting episodes of Deadwood!!!

I Love Deadwood...can't get enough of Deadwood!

[SuperTornado2212]

Is this season 2 or 3? I just started watching Deadwood season 1.

[JoanieStubbs]

@SuperTornado2212 It's the second episode of season 3.

[ontariobuds]

Al is more Bad ass than Tony Soprano and all others. Al Swearengen, or as I like to call him..Al Swear Engine is the ultimate gangster. ruthless, compassionate, no looking back, go forward. take your beatings like a man and even give some back when need be.

[Maryjaneslave]

I love the Hearst character. He's like a living representation of corporate America. He's immune to laws and devourers any smaller enterprise in his way.

[bonepaper]

thing is, al was telling the truth about how to make friends with alma!

[wtg2989]

@bonepaper Ha I know! I mean, I'm not sure of what else Al could have told him. He's not exactly Alma's best friend.

[shinofan18]

I would trade The Sopranos, Six Feet Under... fuck even Mad Men to get Season 4 of Deadwood. Wanted to see Hearst get his just desserts SO BADLY.

[johnmrrs]

@shinofan18 i would trade every series on hbo for another season of deadwood

[Stiletos]

@shinofan18 This show stayed fairly faithful to the major histories of the characters. Hearst was not going to get killed, he was a real life person who went on to live long after his time in Deadwood and his family became one of the most powerful in all of the USA.

[RunawayTrane]

@Stiletos this is the reason why I say Deadwood did not end prematurely. Rather it ended exactly where it was supposed to; With the filthy rich guy getting away with murder and riding out of town owning everyone and everything there

[dunskie]

@shinofan18 It was not in the cards. Reality I mean. Hearst ,in real life, got all the gold and then some.

[G0odf3lla]

@shinofan18 Trading the SOpranos ? are you fucking out of your mind ?

[davehutchinson67]

@shinofan18 Don't you understand? He never did. History tells us that he fathered William Randolph Hearst...patron and sponsor of the same media empire.

[vandy87peeko]

he didn't look up

[saucers79]

This scene right here illustrates the difference between Swearingen and Tolliver.  Do you think Al would let Hearst pull on his ear like he pulled on Tolliver's?

[tinclunge123]

The actor that plays Hearst, can anyone tell me what other series he was in prior! It's killing me?? Any help!!???

[30secondsflat]

@tinclunge123 Gerald McRaney...he was in Major Dad and Simon and Simon...definetely a long way from Major Dad, that's for sure

[tinclunge123]

@30secondsflat cheers, thanks buddy

[McGillicutty5000]

@tinclunge123

Simon & Simon

[ErikMartin81]

@tinclunge123 He has one of the leading roles on the tv-series Jericho, where he plays a good guy. It's the finest tv-series I have seen (Deadwood is third, after Jericho and Firefly).

[toepebble]

The finger smashes the same today. Take a big drink of oil. Smile a brown one. Get your ass to work.

[JacobMcandles]

Not me. I'd keep my fingers & send Dan over.

[JacobMcandles]

This clip always confused me.

Surely Al knew what they were going to do, yet he just goes up that room alone, willingly.

Maybe I missed something.

[zeroflat24]

al knew full well what was in store for him. he went alone as an act of defiance.

[SupremeWu]

Al's the type of guy who's willing to get his fingers broken for the greater good. He's a pimp and a murderer, but he's also a brave son of a bitch that sees the big picture.

[WiseGuy5674]

@SupremeWu ..his finger wasn't broken..it was chopped off.

[jinheat]

@JacobMcandles He's a badass man plan and simple lol
