Deadwood	comment	Deadwood is a historical fiction series created by David Milch and produced by HBO and Paramount Television, with the former owning US rights through Warner Bros. and the latter owning international rights. It first aired as a Sunday Evening Drama Series.The series takes place during the 1870s gold rush of the South Dakota Black Hills, focusing on the boom town of Deadwood. It deals with many historical events and characters, but also takes considerable Artistic License. The show featured a large ensemble cast, all trying to survive on the cut-throat frontier.Some are interested in establishing a new life, others trying to escape their past, but all have been lured by the promise of new wealth. Soon, larger powers descend on the town, including the American government and a mining concern run by George Hearst. Conflict arises between the original settlers and the newcomers over the fate of the gold (and hence, the town), the dynamic tension created by the small-time players trying to resist the encroaching forces of civilization drives much of the plot.Beyond its viewing audience, the show gained notoriety for its unprecedented use of profane language, most of it anachronistic. This was a purposeful choice by the writers, who wanted the show to be suitably Darker and Edgier.Deadwood premiered on March 21, 2004 and ended after 36 episodes on August 27, 2006. The series was later concluded by a long-awaited film (which strangely did not involve CBS Studios, the successor to Paramount Television), set 10 years after the final episode, which premiered on HBO on May 31, 2019.The show inspired (though is not legally affiliated with) a management simulator game named Deadwater Saloon.

Supporting characters: Hostetler, Leon, Reverend Smith, Brom Garret, Wild Bill, Seth Bullock's son William, Francis Wolcott, Maddie, Captain Joe Turner, and a host of lesser characters. Of course, history books will spoil some of these. The movie adds Charlie Utter and Harry Manning to the list of the deceased.

Deadwood / int_12dc4d97	comment	Greedy Jew: Swearengen invokes the trope whenever he's around Star, accusing him of being a money-grubbing heathen. In one scene, when Star has passed out due to injury, Swearengen sarcastically recommends waving a penny under his nose to rouse him. Hearst makes a crack at nitpicking over small change like Jews. Soon afterwards, he makes a protracted but less-than-sincere apology to Star.

In real life, he lured young women to Deadwood and forced them into prostitution through bullying and abuse. In the show, he's an accomplished cutthroat, frontier kingpin and abusive pimp, but it's never implied that he's holding anyone at the Gem against their will. In real life, Jane actually helped Al acquire girls from other territories, herself having formerly worked at the Gem and therefore having knowledge of what the conditions were like. The version in the show would never associate willingly with Al, let alone be a part of his degradations.

The only people he feels comfortable with are those who show him unconditional deference, "like dogs".

The Union General at the end of the first season counts, as he and his officers are disgusted by the slimy nature of Tolliver and E.B and want nothing to do with them. (From the quartermaster dealing with E.B.: "We'd be better off reprovisioning with the fucking Sioux.") At one point, Tolliver offers the general a substantial amount of gold to leave a small detachment behind at the camp to "uphold the law", to which the general advises Tolliver that he would have him hanged if he were Sheriff of the town.

Deadwood / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: Several in the film, though some are justified given the Time Skip in-and-out-of universe. The real town of Deadwood almost completely burned down in 1879. This was eventually going to happen on the show if it had lasted past three seasons, with foreshadowing such as Tom Nuttall's violations of the fire code, Harry Manning's support for a fire department and Al's talk about starting a fire if it served his interests. In the concluding film, set years after the fire would have happened, there's no mention or evidence of a fire having occurred. The closest thing we get is a brief shot of a fire wagon driving down the main thoroughfare. The theater troupe introduced in season three of the series was intended to play into future seasons that never happened. The film does not mention them at all. Doc Cochran has seemingly recovered from his tuberculosis in the past 10 years in spite of the fact that the disease was almost always fatal at this point in history.

Deadwood / int_254fb9cb	comment	Anticlimax: The third and last season of the show, after building up the tension between Hearst and the townspeople throughout the season, including Al recruiting a gang of Mooks to battle Hearst's Mooks, ends with no battle and no confrontation, but the total surrender of the town to Hearst, who gets everything he wanted. Bullock's "I've never met a bully who wasn't afraid" farewell speech to Hearst doesn't really disguise this. Bullock admits as much, saying he feels defeated. This is partially because the show was originally supposed to have a fourth season (and then two feature length movies that never got made), but it got cut short. Even so, history dictates Hearst lived and his mine was profitable.

Deadwood / int_35a858b3	comment	Cluster F-Bomb: Director David Milch originally attempted to use period accurate swearing. Swearing used to be more about religion, and old curse terms simply don't carry the right impact. In test screenings the audiences found it laughable — the characters sounded like Yosemite Sam. So Milch made the decision to use modern swear words to reflect the crudity of a frontier mining camp. In the words of Geoffrey Nunberg: "If you have your characters use historically accurate swearwords, they're apt to sound no more offensive than your grandmother in a mild snit." That said, Deadwood contains a lot of swearing. It's got an average of 1.56 uses of "fuck" per minute of footage.

In one episode, the Dragons have themselves a fight.

In fact, it's more widely spoken today due to a 20th century revival movement. The actual language used in the show is Irish. The amounts of money paid for various things are not accurate to what they would be in history. In real life, Hearst paid $70,000 to four men (including the two Manuel brothers) for the Homestake mine. On the show, he pays $200,000 for it, and presumably even more for Alma's holdings.

Deadwood / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: Abundant in the character's backstories and mentioned in passing, with the implication that the character's behavior on Deadwood is conditioned by their upbringing. Al was beaten regularly as a child (the beating he received because of the death of his epileptic younger brother is related to his sympathy towards Reverend Smith and his aversion to William's funeral) and was sold to an orphanage run by a woman who turned out to be pimping the children in her care. During his adulthood Al hires girls from that same orphanage and pimps them in the Gem, while showing some protectiveness in his own cantankerous way. Joanie Stubbs and her sisters were sexually abused by their father before being sold to Cy, which made Joanie extremely protective of women in similar situations. Joanie recognizes a similar pattern of childhood sexual abuse in Wolcott as the reason for his extremely disturbed sexual tendencies. It's hinted Jane was abused by her father and that Al is a reminiscent and abhorrent figure to her because of it. Word of God is that Bullock's anger against injustice comes from his being regularly beaten by his father. Which is also the reason he ran away from home when he was younger. By contrast, Sol mentions having a good relationship with his father and is one of the few relatively well-adjusted guys in town.

Deadwood / int_f64a9cf7	type	Earn Your Happy Ending
Deadwood / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: Surprisingly, the movie gives almost everyone who's still alive a happy ending. Calamity Jane and Joanie make amends, and the latter finally has her freedom after taking over the Bella Union. Sol and Trixie get married in The Gem surrounded by all their friends, with Al walking Trixie down the aisle. Al spends his (presumably) final moments with Trixie and Jewel by his side. And best of all, Hearst finally gets what's coming to him.

Deadwood / int_f6b70c98	comment	Strongly Worded Letter: In the latter part of season 3, the various town leaders publicly call Hearst out on his actions in a newspaper article. Swearengen remarks on what a toothless gesture it is, but supports it just the same.

Deadwood / int_f740a274	type	Historical Beauty Update
Deadwood / int_f740a274	comment	Historical Beauty Update: The historical Calamity Jane was a lot more likely to be mistaken for a man than Robin Weigert's version. Inverted with Charlie Utter. The real Charlie Utter had flowing blond locks and dressed in fine clothes and carried a pair of pistols with pearl handles. He even bathed daily, which was extremely unusual at the time. On the show, he's a portly, balding man who wears fraying, plain clothing.

Deadwood / int_ff7f34c5	type	Pet the Dog
Deadwood / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Swearengen is a complete bastard but is increasingly given opportunities to gruffly pet the dog as the series progresses. When Trixie sets Alma's giant rock of gold ore on Al's nightstand, he doesn't even look at it and instead snatches her arm to inspect the tract marks from her recent suicide attempt. He then pulls back the covers for her to sleep beside him. In the morning, he awkwardly tells her not to try to off herself again. He employs a handicapped cleaning woman, Jewel, constantly belittling and berating her, but Trixie insists that he keeps her around as a "twisted fuckin' way of protecting her." He shows grudging sympathy towards Rev. Smith, reveals he once had an epileptic brother, and mercy-kills the pastor when he is suffering from a terminal brain tumor. He also delivers a few tough-love pep-talks to residents of the camp during the later seasons. He saves Trixie's life out of loyalty and guilt over abusing her, but in the process must murder another woman who has nothing to do with the affair.
