(His eagerness to answer the knock at the door is among Ian McShane’s single funniest moments in the series.) But the swatches ultimately are part of what shakes Al out of his stupor – and, he hopes, what will do the same for Doc Cochran. He’s been maimed by Hearst, and the visit by Gustav – “NYPD Blue” alum Gordon Clapp reprising his cameo from the season 2 finale with a hilarious sing-song delivery – and his swatches only makes Al feel more lost. As a man who can see all the angles, it’s not easy to be in a fight where every angle is a bad one. What’s most interesting here is seeing just how out sorts Al is by this situation. (**) It’s a message also skimpy with the details (Seth didn’t know the man well), but still conveys more emotion than the last of the sheriff’s letters that we heard read aloud. This is now a war of hearts and minds, and if they can’t fight Hearst, perhaps they can at least shame him and break the fever for revenge that started when the sheriff tugged on his ear. This is not a conventional war, because the locals will be destroyed in one.

He can bury them under the weight of the gold that he insists drives humanity to greatness, with more guns, more money, more men and more of anything that the people of Deadwood – even with Al and Cy and Seth all working together – can do. Despite all the talk of Wild Bill, of Dan’s gun and Al’s knife, Hearst is a giant. What’s confusing them, of course, is not just the unexpected feeling of guilt that Seth’s letter(**) makes them feel about Pasco, but the enormity of the threat Hearst poses. Given the mores of the times, I understand why she’s not there, but I’m also glad that Milch had one of his characters acknowledge it. Swearengen and maybe Sheriff Bullock, she’s the most powerful and important person in the camp. (*) And one of Al’s whores makes an excellent point: even when you factor in her recent difficulties with dope, it’s absurd that some of these men are at the table but Alma isn’t. Al suggests publishing the letter for reasons even he can’t understand at the time, and everyone spends their time after the meeting trying to figure out exactly what’s been accomplished, and why. Where once there were plans for war, or subterfuge, this reminder of the crimes Hearst has already perpetrated – and how even a “parp”-speaking Cornishman like Pasco is a human being whose loss has meaning to both those who knew him and those who were part of his larger community – defuses the tension, but leaves no one with any idea of what to do next. The town elders, meanwhile, gather(*) for canned peaches and a lot of big ideas for dealing with the Hearst mess, before everyone is completely thrown by the reading of Seth’s letter to Pasco’s kin. “Unauthorized Cinnamon” picks up only moments after the end of last week’s episode, and almost everyone’s problem remains one that is both incredibly simple to identify and impossible to solve: George Hearst.Īunt Lou tries and tries to get through to Odell (who claims, interestingly, that there is gold in Liberia, and it’s not a hustle), but instead her son agrees to ride off to New York in the hopes that Hearst is telling the truth about his intentions. Thoughts on episode 7, “Unauthorized Cinnamon,” coming up just as soon as I interrupt your sleep with this beard… If you haven’t finished the series, just avoid the comments of this review and you’ll be fine.

While I once upon a time posted two separate reviews so people who hadn’t watched the whole series would have a safe place to comment, almost no one bothered commenting on the newbie reviews last year, and they’ve been ditched. For the third summer in a row, we’re revisiting David Milch’s classic revisionist HBO Western “Deadwood,” this time discussing the third season.
