Deadwood Rewatch Completed & That Ending
Oct. 28th, 2017 04:20 am. . . and I am feeling bereft that there is no more.
Except that as of July of this year, David Milch had turned in a movie script to HBO that everyone is happy with. The question now is getting the principal actors available. ( Read more... )
I hope at the very least, if it doesn't get made, they publish it or do a novelization or something.
However -- the ending is not the one I remembered. *DO I NEED TO INDICATE SPOILERS FOR A SERIES THAT ENDED A DECADE AGO?* I honestly remembered it ending when Hearst's men rode into town. It's not that I didn't see it, because I recalled the scene leading up to Ellsworth's death very clearly -- his talking through his feelings to that cute little dog, and how his overscrupulosity leads to the wrong results. And that takes place several episodes later than the scene I misremembered as last.
But . . . I just read an interview with Ian McShane, I think from when the first John Wick movie came out, where he said that he'd recently seen the last episode over again in a hotel room and that he thought it was actually quite an appropriate place to end it. And now I agree. ( Read more... )
Al's people have been so loyal to him, Dan, Johnny & Adams as well as Trixie in particular. But Johnny clearly had feelings for Jen, and this is the unforgivable thing. So much hubris.
I do have a collection of academic essays on Deadwood, but it was published before season 3 aired. I wonder if anyone's written on this. Will have to explore . . .
