SWEEPS: DAY 25!!HBO's Second-SeasonDEADWOOD Finale!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Is “Deadwood” dead?
No. HBO has already ordered a third season of “Deadwood”; it’s likely to turn up early next year.
What about “The Wire” and “Carnivale”?
“The Wire” is going into production and will be back next year too. “Carnivale” is cancelled, dead as “Arli$$.”
Does “Six Feet Under” reclaim the “Deadwood” slot in a week or two?
No. “Six Feet Under” is back for its final season June 6, but HBO has moved it to 9 p.m. Mondays; it’s no longer getting its first airings on Sunday nights.
What will replace “Deadwood”?
The second half of the Paul Newman miniseries “Empire Falls” is cablecast next Sunday. Taking over the “Deadwood” slot on June 5 are the second season of “Entourage” and Lisa Kudrow’s new pretend-reality series “The Comeback.”
And when “Entourage” folds up shop?
“Rome,” set in ancient Italy (and not to be confused with ABC’s “Empire,” which launches June 28), arrives in autumn.
What about “The Sopranos”?
The sixth and final season of “The Sopranos” is in production now; we’ll get to see it next spring. We’d long heard season six was to be a 10-episode affair, but during Wednesday’s “60 Minutes” profile of series mastermind David Chase, I think somebody mentioned 13 episodes.
What’s doing with “Deadwood” tonight?
We meet mining tycoon George Hearst, whose interest in the Deadwood camp has had everyone peeing their pants all season. And while Martha Bullock appears ready to flee Deadwood, Alma Garret appears prepared to marry the whore-happy prospector who has been overseeing her claim for her.
Take up valuable bandwidth with your predictions and reactions.
9 p.m. Sunday. HBO.

Don't be hatin' on Ellsworth, just because he has hooplehead tendencies.
-
great news one of the best shows this season, shame about Carnivale though thought this season was best Tv i've seen in years :(
-
wasn't as good as the first season.
-
It sucks Carnivale is gone but look for some incarnation of it to reappear somewhere in the future , its got to big a following now and had good ratings at the end so one way or another I think it will turn up again..anyway Deadwood rocks and the finale should be real good. I finally started to watch The Wire and after 5 episodes I am hooked..
-
He was a smelly drunk who always kept to himself....but I NEVER saw him "whore happy"...save the accusations for fox news there, herc....And thus, did he save those miners or what? - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
As I have already been signed to play his lover next season -
In that brief article you answered all the HBO-related questions I had. And I thought it would just be about Deadwood! But this really had better be the final season of The Sopranos this time.
-
somebody kill the babysitter, i need to go outside
-
Swearengen *finally* kicks into action tonite...
-
at least, that was the impression i got from the final scene of last week's episode. anyone else get the same idea?

I want to see a duel between Bullock and Johny. The cocksucker shot Sol and Charly, he should be on Woo's pigsty by now.
-
I loved that book, I had no idea there's a miniseries, argh!
-
...HBO fucking sucks for cancelling Carnivale. They're at the top of my shit-list right now.
-
is there going to be another season of curb your enthusiasm? if so does anyone know when it will start.

second funniest line of the season next to: "he who doubts me sucks cock ... by choice!" as for the episode ... fucking wow. a nice culmination to a really great season. i knew tolliver was going to get fucked up, what with all the people he's been fucking with. i was kind of sad to see wolcott go, though ... he was a real snake among snakes.
-
I think Wanda Sykes from Curb Your Enthusiasm said they wrapped up the initial filming for season 5, so it'll probably roll around this fall or late summer.
As for Carnivale, I read on yahoo forums that (posted by Knuaf himself, I think) ****SPOILER***

Both Ben and Justin survive.
Jonesy recoveres from his wounds.

A dance -- Jane & everyone but a significant few, dancing. John Ford would include everyone, even the bad guys, at a dance to show a sense of community. Ah, how the western has evolved...

The great and Powerful ElTiante has spoken. -
what a great line. It took me forever to figure out they were speaking in a version of Shakespear-ese. Plus it was great to see Gordon Clapp doing a little bit work on the show. And why didn't the Doc talk tonight? Was there something contractual about the time he appears or what?
-
I missed him...which scene was he in?

fucking priceless. Kinda sad to see Lee go, he was a hardcase. But Major Dad as Hearst was good stuff.
And boy, P.T. Vince has gotten large. Is that all him, or were prosthetics involved? -
"Ellsworth has spent most of his days prospecting for gold in one part of the country or another, and has managed to scrounge enough, apparently, to cover for his appetite for whores and booze."
-
Ellsworth is still our man. And we will kick your ass if you try to destory his marriage with Alma.....And thus, we mean it! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
Often times I found it a little tricky to follow, this show makes you listen carefully, which isn't necessarily a bad thing; However, incoherent and fancy conversations seemed, at least to me, to be out of place this season amongst the dirty scum that walk the thoroughfare each week. I enjoyed the heck out of season 1 and I wish there was more action involving Seth losing his temper. It still is one of the finest shows on TV right now though.
-
It was nice to see his character get elevated this season. And I am glad that fat dude is coming back next season, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where they are going with Stubbs and Calamity Jane. Surely they are not going to open a whore house together, but who knows. The only thing I hope we see more of next time is the contentiousness between Bullock and Swearingen, please.
-
Calamity Jane at times worked as a prostitute in Deadwood. I can see it now..."Hurry the fuck up, cocksucker!"
-
seen very briefly helping Alma getting into the coach and behind her as she pulls away, but he was credited. Perhaps he will be a new character next season. I wonder how they will bring back Garret Dillahunt, who killed Wild Bill last year and played Wolcott this year, I guess the producers really like his work.
-
loves whores. No use denyin' it. But why do you all assume Herc says it as a negative? When I say, "Ellsworth loves whores," I'm not trying to put the guy down...I respect him for having his priorities straight. It is, after all, a victimless crime. "Fuck us all anyways for the bunch of limber-dicked cocksuckers we are" remains the greatest Deadwood quote, and I believe it was in the first episode of the show.
-
I also love this seaons and always look at the show twice, once with closed captioning on so I can catch all the words. The language and dialogue was much better this season.
Will Elsworth tell Alma that Dan killed her husband?
How will Tolliver survive being "gutted" - the knife moving up and down and across - when there was no microsurgery back then?
Will Alma trade her gold claim for the hotel? Will she hold the murder of her husband over Swearingen's head to also gain control of the Gem?
If Tolliver dies, will Joanie lay claim to the Belle and leave her place behind?
Will the town ever get a jail?
Will the two black guys ever return to town and will they be killed if they do?
What was the deal with Yankton? -

Say what you will about that San Francisco C***sucker Lee, but I want to go out like that: while being ridden cowgirl-style by a large breasted woman. I think I'll take something like a heart-attack though, rather than a slit throat. I'm just sayin'... -

Apart from the Widow Garrett's wedding festivities in the thoroughfare (so she's no longer a window; I guess death-and-the-maiden has passed through the Bullock conduit into Martha as her cross to bear for next season), Bullock and Al danced a deal with the fella from Yankton, Francis Wolcott jangled at the end of a noose (awkward, great shot), Farnum did the diarrhea twist then did a giddy squirm with his money, Al's assassins donned those freaky masks like Wu's temporary marionettes, Tolliver twirled with the minister for a second time, Doc Cochran taught the fat guy some yoga then did a jig of his own. I absolutely agree with whoever mentioned Deadwood and Shakespeare in the same breath. It's one of the Greats.
-
I forgot about the opium. Good call, Ripper T.
-
Only two very quick shots of the bastard swinging wildly, almost blink and you miss it. Great editing decision there, no need to linger on this coward - its a party!! Also loved Andy's revenge on Tolliver, the ambiguity going on within Alma as she's getting married (you see sadness, hesitation, but also certainly affection for Ellsworth), and the raid on Chinamen's Alley was terrific, as was the opening sequence there. Fuckin best show on television. (oh and great scene between Al and Hearst also)
-
Certainly Mose Manuel (Pruitt Taylor Vince) has officially been "brought into the fold." I wonder if Hearst will stick around? Or will he move on, perhaps popping up once and awhile. I think Capt. Turner, his burly right-hand, is going to be hovering over the proceedings at the mines and giving some shit. I hope Commissioner Jarry returns to be a prick and promptly gets a fuckin axe to the back, cuz I hate that cocksucker. Wonder what'll happen with Steve (the jerkoff on a horse guy), I have a feeling he might just leave camp for good...
