Four Episodes Left!! Learn How The Third Season Of DEADWOOD Ends!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“Deadwood” will take a long hiatus after its third season ends this month, then will return with a couple of HBO TV-movies to wrap up this long tale of Seth Bullock, Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp, George Hearst, Joanie Stubbs, et al.
Tonight’s episode appears to represent the first produced teleplay by a Zack Whedon, a 2002 Wesleyan University graduate. A one-time production assistant on The WB’s vampire show “Angel,” Whedon is grandson to the great John Whedon, who wrote for the two best sitcoms of the 1960s, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “The Andy Griffith Show.”
Here’s what else happens this month:
Episode #33: "Amateur Night"
Debut date: SUNDAY, AUG. 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT)
Other HBO playdates: Aug. 8 (11:00 p.m.), 9 (9:00 p.m., 3:10 a.m.) and 11 (10:00 p.m.)
HBO2 playdate: Aug. 7 (10:00 p.m.)
As Deadwood is overrun by Hearst's (Gerald McRaney) men, Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) issues contingency plans to Martha (Anna Gunn). Caught in a Pinkerton stampede, Wu (Keone Young) delivers a cryptic message to Swearengen (Ian McShane); it takes Burns (Sean Bridgers), of all people, to decipher it. Barrett (Jared Snyder) makes Merrick (Jeffrey Jones) pay for embarrassing Hearst in "The Pioneer"; Morgan Earp (Austin Nichols) calls out one of the "Pistoleros"; Commissioner Jarry (Stephen Tobolowsky) arrives from Yankton to solicit Hearst; Aunt Lou (Cleo King) gets some bad news; and Stubbs (Kim Dickens) survives an encounter with her former boss. As night falls, Langrishe (Brian Cox) mines Deadwood's talent pool with an amateur-night performance in front of his future theater, financed in part by a loan from Alma's (Molly Parker) bank.
Written by Nick Towne & Zack Whedon; directed by Adam Davidson.
Episode #34: "A Constant Throb"
Debut date: SUNDAY, AUG. 13 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
Other HBO playdates: Aug. 15 (11:00 p.m.), 16 (9:00 p.m., 2:50 a.m.), 18 (10:00 p.m.) and 25 (9:00 p.m.)
HBO2 playdate: Aug. 14 (10:00 p.m.)
With Bullock campaigning away from camp, Alma finds herself targeted by Hearst's henchmen, and finds shelter with Swearengen. Sent to the Gem with a missive from Hearst, Barrett is treated rudely by its proprietor, who turns to familiar methods to get the henchman to reveal his boss' future plans. Langrishe recruits one new actress at the expense of another; an obsessed Stapleton (Peter Jason) finds Claudia (Cynthia Ettinger) a hard one to pin down; and Jane (Robin Weigert) shares the particulars of her latest dream with Stubbs.
Written by W. Earl Brown; directed by Mark Tinker.
Episode #35: "The Catbird Seat"
Debut date: SUNDAY, AUG. 20 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
Other HBO playdates: Aug. 22 (11:00 p.m.), 23 (9:00 p.m., 2:55 a.m.) and 25 (10:00 p.m.)
HBO2 playdate: Aug. 21 (10:00 p.m.)
Bullock holds an impromptu morning meeting to determine which emergencies warrant wiring him in Sturgis, where he and Harry (Brent Sexton) are delivering campaign pitches. The first summons doesn't take long, as Hearst follows up Alma's close call with one that's decidedly more on-target. In the aftermath, Alma takes refuge at the Gem, again, while Trixie (Paula Malcomson) decides to take matters into her own hands. Langrishe has a falling out with Hearst, giving him little time to huddle with his new lineup of actors. Dismissing the likelihood of ever seeing 23 mercenaries promised by Hawkeye, Swearengen turns to Wu to deliver more reliable, if not quite weapons-tested, reinforcements from Custer City.
Written by Bernadette McNamara; directed by Gregg Fienberg.
Episode #36: "Tell Him Something Pretty" (season finale)
Debut date: SUNDAY, AUG. 27 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
Other HBO playdates: Aug. 29 (midnight) and 30 (9:00 p.m., 2:45 a.m.), and Sept. 1 (10:00 p.m.)
HBO2 playdate: Aug. 28 (10:00 p.m.)
The camp turns out to vote, but as Bullock notes, the election may already have been decided. In light of the mood of the populace, Langrishe delays the opening of his theater, and ponders his future in Deadwood. After detouring at Nuttall's (Leon Rippy) Number 10, Hawkeye arrives at the Gem with "almost 18" men to complement Wu's contingent. Alma works out a deal for her claim; Utter Freight receives a special delivery for Hearst; and Harry gets his fire engine. Stubbs reaches out to a frustrated Tolliver (Powers Boothe), who finds himself with a folded hand as the action heats up. Through Farnum (William Sanderson), Hearst issues his conditions for departure, forcing Swearengen to finish what Burns can't.
Written by Ted Mann; directed by Mark Tinker. 9 p.m. Sundays. HBO.

fuckin hbo cocksuckers
-
What a shame. An Ian McShame.
-
Deadwood is so good, well at least its not totally gone and the loose ends will be tied . . yay . . i guess :'(
-
They say "fuck" a lot. Then someone gets shot and some whores get beaten. Roll credits.
-
one can only hope
-
It just isn't going anywhere, the already overblown Shakespearean theatrics of the camp language is cranked up to unbearable levels with the "actors", and Brian Cox is being wasted. This is an evil man who needs to kill people. His bloodlust can't be restrained. Hope it's all going somewhere.
-
When does the brutal rape of Finn by the wandering Vito happen?..... Oops wrong show......
-
it all seems rather pointless, and those scenes with langrishe and his dying actor were really hard to endure. i would have fast-forwarded them if i weren't afraid i might miss some subtle though important dialogue. that and brian cox is always watchable, even in boring scenes.
-
that's pretty cool. let's just hope it doesn't end up like that episode of "the sopranos" that michael imperioli wrote. it was rather bad. and in case there's still anyone out there who didn't already know, w. earl brown also played warren in "there's something about mary." for some reason, that has always amazed me.
-
Gonna miss the hell out of this show, cocksuckers.
-
Definitely the high water mark for Deadwood. After that Calamity Jane outburst in the hot bath last season, everything just seems so... tame in Deadwood.
-
Its just filled with loudly spoken monologues peppered with the occational "cocksucker". Everybody is always pissed off yet at what I have no idea as NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS. The most action so far has been Dan's fight. I really expected more from this show but sadly that was not to be.
-
Shakespearean dialogue just a bit. Even if it's not as good as last season, it's still a lot better than just about everything the broadcast nets serve up. Now if they continue to hew closely to the actual history of the town, some cocksucker is going to burn that town down before this is all over.
-
"Nothing Fucking Happens"... Just like The Sopranos fans wanting violence and action in every episode.
-
that if this is in fact the last episode, that Milch isn't writing it. Has he really abandoned the show? And what was with that paragraph on Zack Whedon, Joss's brother?
-
The Pinkertons were total scumbags and weren't above murdering women and children if the price was right. Expect lots of bad juju to go down in the final 3.
-
This season has put me in the same condition as the guy who was kicked by a horse.
-
It looked like Morgan hit that Pinkerton in the artery there, and I assumed he must have died, but did they ever confirm that? Did I miss something?
-
That is my take. Shot him so he would bleed out--no way for a dead man to testify he did not pull his piece.....
-
Nothing happens in Deadwood and apparently nothing happens in here too. Looks like alot of people have woken up to the hype surrounding this bore-fest and changed the channel.
