It takes a special kind of crazy to make Swearebgen seem fair and balanced. Eat shit and die Hearst.

This guy is a sociopathic weirdo. He cries out of sheer frustration that he hasn't yet been able to wreck the entire town.

@charlatanfilms Well put!

I almost expect Hearst to then say, "...Gold. Always believe in your soul..you've got the POWER to know you're INDESTRUCTIBLE...always believe it!".

Hearst is like me when I'm playing Minecraft.

This was a man with real power, not like asshole modern bankers or the like

@charlatanfilms But Odell died, do you know how? I always assumed it was because of Hearst.

interesting to see the most evil character in the show have this vulnerability, actually come to think of it cy and w had their weak spots too.

This is the organizing principle behind the entire story arc of the show. That people agree that gold (or anything else) has a value allows for the creation of a civilization. It carves a town out of the wilderness, creates society's rules and even allows Hearst to refrain from killing Odell.
