Not when said man has several friends or the like who'd damn near draw straws on kicking the shit out of you. Hell, Al or Dan would be willing, though Al god knows would ask Bullock first if he'd rather fuck him up, or Al would happily break out a knife.
Tolliver was so deeply menacing and his words were venom. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that several of his associates turned to God after dealing with him (Stapleton and Andy Cramed)
I don’t think I will ever be able to forget that scene where Tolliver beats and murders Kristen Bell and her ‘brother’ - for my money that’s maybe the single most brutal execution scene from the entire “golden age” of anti-hero television.
@Willem DaFuckedUp I've seen this series 6 or 7 times through and, though there are some tangents of plot (the Earps) that do not add much to the whole, I've yet to find writing that made no sense. You'll have to give me a for-instance, Al. A man inadequately sophisticated, or merely ignorant, or simply stupid may find the pacing slow, but be surprised then to realize that there are ideas and story points that you may not be yet aware of bubbling below the surface. Or perhaps, story points that never reached their terminus due to cancellation.
Seth?? Seth Bullock?? Seth Bullock, I thought that was you. Don't say you don't remember me, 'cause I sure as heckfire remember you. Commissioner.. Jarry. Needlenose Jarry? Jarry the Head. Come on, buddy. Case Western High? Bing!
The language of commissioner Hugo jarry a little different than the American language today is this the way people in the US used to talk? or only educated people?
It was in fact the way the vast majority of people talked in those days...the "F" word wouldn't of been used, however words like "Goddamn" ,Hell and Damn, were comparable to our use of the "F" word nowadays. Most people in school were made to read and memorize the classics of literature, so that slipped into day to day communication. Obviously, the very poor and uneducated would not speak as eloquently as the people on the show do, however I think most people reasonably educated would in fact talk the way they do.
You must consider what was available to read. It was the newspaper men who were guilty of using such grandiose language. Therefore the readers ,I might imagine, would pick up some words not common to layman.
David Milch explains that alot of these people if educated at all would have been from victorian literature and it would have been mixed with the language in mining camps which was really foul language. Farnum is an example of this as he quotes very intellectual authors but has no idea who they are or what the quote means

"You'll get a pistol-whipping and not learn a fuckin thing."
I miss this show.
Wolcott might be a serial killer but even he knows you don’t mess with a man when his child is dying.

The one time everyone can relate to Wolcott......even he knew a politician was beneath a serial killer.
So true
The way he growls commissoneerrr...sets the whole tone for this scene.
like the deadwood equivalent of Newman.
It really really does. It's a stroke of genius.
When a serial killer is taking the moral high road on you, you’ve got major problems 😂🤣
O.O8: "Commissioner" ---the growl in the last syllable --- a magnificent, truly scary performance

The most quotable TV show ever, nothing else even comes close.
Without doubt the most underrated tv series of all time
+Oscar Hayden (Perdition Bound) I'm totally addicted to it! Best characters ever!

It just exceeded your feeble intellect.
One vile task after another.
Best show ever. I always enjoy Jarry's entries into camp and the drama it introduces.
Cy is my favourite tv villain. This kind of writing and acting is what's missing from today
God he was dark wasn't he? I mean... he killed Leon at the end just because he felt unpopular and left out.
If only they had developed at that time a little thing now known as the conjoined triangles of success.
It’s taught in business schools now
Seth?? Seth Bullock?? Seth Bullock, I thought that was you. Don't say you don't remember me, 'cause I sure as heckfire remember you. Commissioner.. Jarry. Needlenose Jarry? Jarry the Head. Come on, buddy. Case Western High? Bing!
There's a lot of truth to that.
no truer words have ever been spoken!!! Hell, most of our criminals are less criminal than a government official! 😮
U dont know cowardice and lies, until uve had dealings with politicians
I want that quote on a t shirt
Milch. As masterful with dialog as Tarantino.
Much better.
Tarantino's Chet Hanks compared Milch.
Remends me of the Joker the way he says Comissionerrrrrrr
Walcott is a monster... but not an idiot compared to Jarry LOL
Commissionurrrrrrrr!!!!!
CommissioneRRR

Don't know much about 'muricans, but comissioner's words werre clear to me.

Depends. Theres a good interview with Milch on the deadwood DVDs and youtube about language then. Very important.
