The doctor was a surgeon during the Civil War. He saw a LOT of bad things in the medical tents.
I totally agree
Geri had spinal surgery prior to this shoot. The dancing scene where Jewels teaches Doc to dance was supposed to be afternoon. It was moved to much later that night. Geri was in a lot of pain and tired. Brad tried to help by getting the shoot rescheduled for the next day. Geri told him please do not do that. She was afraid making a big deal about her would prevent other physically challenged people to get hired. Brad carried Geri throughout the scene to relieve her pain.
According to history this would be either 1876 or 1877 as Wild Bill was killed in 1876. This is during and shortly after the Black Hills War of 1876 where the U.S. Cavalry chased the Sioux and Lakota tribes out of South Dakota following the Battle of Little Big Horn. Deadwood was settled illegally around 1874 or 1875 by a handful of miners but it was really the arrival of Charlie Utter's wagon train in early 1876 which is considered the "official" founding of the town. The land was supposed to belong to the Lakota tribe but news of gold finds in the Black Hills around 1874 led to the original miners settling in the area of Deadwood. These 2-3 years (1876-1879) are really the high point for the "lawless" Deadwood. In 1879, the gold rush was pretty much over and a large fire consumed most of the town and many of the inhabitants left.
Brad Dourif brought it on that monologue.
I'm kind of wondering if that smile Al cracks when Doc says "fuck the cavalry" was supposed to be part of that take.
That scene was amazing! My jar was on her floor the entire time.
One of the DVD commentaries for this episode says that the young lady that CY is trying to tempt the general with at dinner was played by the lighting director's daughter. Watch the scene again and you can tell that she is lit in the most flattering light possible.
You're right about not having to wait. When this came out there were some long waits and it sucked.
The world building in Deadwood is excellent. I'm enjoying your reactions.
For a show that's not listed as a comedy... i find myself laughing very darkly very often. The level of witty cynicism... i'm glad i'm not alone feeling that way. I really, really enjoy your reactions, here.
Little things like Al's smile when the Doc says ''F^ck the Calvary and the committee who receives them"
IT's Life! Funny - sometimes...mostly NOT!
Also, it seems in odd comments by Al that he had a brother that was "afflicted" like the Reverend. So that is why he was so gentle when he killed him and he said..."go now brother".
That was so sad. But also why I knew Al was going to kill him. Ian McShane did a fabulous job of showing the quiet journey he made to that decision.
@@AnnaAlexanderAuthor Ian McShane is a great actor. I first saw him when I was much younger in a bbc show called "Lovejoy". He plays a art world detective...essentially.
Anna's quote of the episode, "This is great and this is terrible". What a season, right?
LMAO ! I'm thinking that Anna has been into the drinks menu. Then I realize that I had the playback speed set on 0.75. 🤤
OMG. the patriarchy [I wish there were a less respectable word for it] here is repulsive! Someone please put out a contract on Daddy. Oh!
Anna, I ask. Has your opinion of Al changed since the start of the series? How would you characterize him now?
Oh, what a question! And one I ask myself each episode. He's still a rat bastard. Wouldn't trust him. I understand him a bit more, but he's still not someone I want to root for. Such a dynamic character. Then you add the power of Ian McShane and that takes it over the top.
@@AnnaAlexanderAuthor He was a lot worse in real life. His prostitutes were more or less slaves. He’d bring them in, with them thinking they’d be working a legitimate job, such as a housekeeper, and force them to become prostitutes. It was that or death.
So many characters reached "breaking" points. Bullock had been seething for 11 episodes. It was time for it all come out. Al found kindness in his way. Doc is losing it. And Alma found a moments of happiness, in saloon and in her room.
Fun Fact: It’s called Deadwood for all the dead pine trees you can see laying on the hills.
Seth Bullock is a legendary lawman from the old west. This is all based off actual events. It's an interesting story
He also led Teddys inauguration parade.
There are some inaccuracies. He never married his brother’s wife. He knew his wife Martha since childhood. And he never actually met Wild Bill. Seth and Sol came to Deadwood a couple days after Wild Bill was shot.
First "Daddy Mal," now "Daddy Seth"?
"This is great and this is terrible".
Perfect.
Definitely wait until you’ve finished the show before you do this, (spoilers!) but once finished, reading up on the history of the town and the various historic characters, with the show as context and juxtaposition is great fun.
As for this episode, you could hardly want for a better season finale, nor a better core message. “The surest way to a woman’s heart is to beat her lousy father senseless in public.”
Another great reaction. I always enjoy watching your videos (I admit I only watch stuff I've seen). I watch as soon as my life let's me.
As Bruce R said the Doctor served during the Civil War and probably did lots of amputations, without anesthesia or antibiotics. As a amateur military historian I've seen the records of what Civil War doctors had to do and see. Hell it wasn't until 1917 that doctors understood that wounds needed to be cleaned up before being stitched up. I believe the doctor cared alot about her and was worried about having to do another amputation on someone that matters to him. Having done somethings when I was in the military I sympathize.
Ahhhh right. A possible amputation. Great point.
I spend a few hours at a reenactment event Sunday, Ft. Nisqually's Brigade event in Tacoma, and spent some time discussing historical medical practices from that century. I have a new respect for how the writers made the doctor's character. Also spent a surprising amount of time learning about period women's fashion and laundry.
The reverend was a real person. But he was called Preacher Smith. He was actually killed just outside of Deadwood. He was on his way to another town to give a sermon. They said Native Americans killed him, but many think owners of a gambling or prostitution place in Deadwood had him killed because they thought he was hurting their businesses.
Great episode and great reaction. The pace was sick. I think you already know this but Seth was a Lawman before coming to Deadwood. You really get the feeling of what a force to deal with he can be. I loved how people were getting out of his way. I am glad you are enjoying this series.
Another great reaction to another great episode by a great reactor. Hope you have an enjoyable time at Comic Con.
Say "You are as light as a forest creature"
8:50 ..some gal ♥ Seth B? What a ♂?
4:19 - all of 'em
Deadwood was founded in 1876. It did not take long for it to grow because of all the gold in the streams in the area and in the mines. Montana territory was admitted to the Union in 1889.
I don't think the camp had been there for very long. I remember Al saying in an early episode saying that he and Dan had built the Gem themselves. The official site for the show says it takes place in 1876 and Deadwood was founded in 1876 IRL so I think it had existed for literally only a few months when the show starts.
