The Deadwood movie is finally here! Our final chance to visit the world of Al, Seth, Alma, Trixie and all our favorite characters held many surprising moments, some beautiful bits of closure, and a few opportunities that fell through the cracks...

We've reached the series finale of Deadwood, so it's time to reflect upon all the things we've loved as well as all the things we would have done differently. (Hey, you know the drill by now...because we're writers. Writers in LA.) The movie is...

A moment of silence for a Ladywood favorite as we discuss Deadwood's penultimate episode. Hearst takes violent action, and we mourn along with the characters for the ensuing loss. From there, retaliation takes things to another level -- and as ...

It's a stunner of an episode as we head into the home stretch of season three. When someone shoots at Alma during her daily walk to the bank, our regulars band together to scheme and strategize, tension rising all the time. Oh, and also the act...

It's a bad week for season three's new side characters, as the Earp brothers end their Deadwood adventure without much fanfare and Odell meets a sad fate off screen. As we ask ourselves what the point of all that was, another questionable event...

The Earp brothers arrive, a-shootin' and a-hollerin', and if you think it takes us long to start trying to fan fiction it up and make a gay love match....you're listening to the wrong show. On a less sexy note, Hearst may be riled up by Seth's ...

It's The Meeting of the Patriarchy Part Deux as once again the gang at the Gem busts out the peaches (and cinnamon) and gathers the troops to discuss a common problem. Hearst has more men coming to town, but Al's delaying the plan to fetch thei...

Inscrutable plots abound this week as Lou's son Odell rides into town with big news for Hearst about a gold claim in Liberia, while Cy considers ways to turn Alma's backslide into drug use to his benefit. We're not 100% sure how everyone's...

It's the battle of the (19th) century as Captain Turner challenges Dan Dority to hand-to-hand combat in the thoroughfare. Which fighter will emerge victorious, and what existential questions will be raised by the violence? While this moment is ...

The doors of the Deadwood bank are opening and the hoopleheads are ready to deposit that gold -- if they can wrap their minds around it. As this dovetails with the return of Hostetler and General Fields with the horse that killed William Bulloc...

New arrivals to camp this week bring odd sorts of confidantes to both Hearst and Swearengen, in the form of Hearst's longtime cook and maid "Aunt Lou" and Al's old friend Jack Langrishe (along with his troupe of actors). Hearst's tensions with ...

This week, many of our beloved characters find themselves calling on their inner bravery. Whether facing a dangerous medical procedure, a violent enemy, or a classroom full of inquisitive children, it's peril around every corner. All that, plus...

As the third and final season of Deadwood gets underway, it feels like many characters have taken a step back in the six weeks that have passed since the season two finale, especially our girl Joanie. Won't someone help her deal with her grief ...

Deadwood's second season closes out with perhaps our favorite episode so far, as George Hearst finally rolls into town against the backdrop of everyone preparing for the Alma & Ellsworth nuptials. There'll be murder! There'll be dancing! Th...

As the camp comes together for the sad business of saying goodbye to young William, other unsavory business continues in the background, with Lee taking his most unforgivable actions so far and Commissioner Jarry plowing ahead on annexation ter...

The first trailer for the Deadwood movie has arrived! We are excited!!!

The camp sits in the balance between life and death this week, as collective hopes, prayers, and despair color all other interactions. We admire the excellent acting on display during this sad episode, as well as the smaller moments layered int...

This week, all roads lead to the one a wild horse runs down, potentially changing the lives of several characters forever. Whether Young William lives or dies will have to wait for next time, but there are plenty of other developments this week...

It's an episode with several satisfying (mostly) Bechdel-test-passing scenes, as Jane and Joanie finally formally meet, Alma and Martha have a cryptic confrontation over their fraught circumstances, and Alma takes out her frustration on Miss Is...

As we enter the second half of Deadwood's original run, this cast of characters still has delightful new combinations to present. No, we're not talking about Al and a head in a box -- but the very first face-to-face between Al and Alma. We're m...

This week, we bow our heads as we lose some of our female characters when Mr. W.'s madness reaches a bloody new peak. What consequences, if any, will a rich white man face for his actions? (Don't we all know the answer to that one....) Meanwhil...

Actions catch up with Alma when she finds herself deciding how to proceed with a pregnancy that she may want to go through with, even though she's unmarried and unsure of potential medical complications. Trixie and the Doc both have their thoug...

The moment of truth arrives with regards to Al's health, and it feels like it's not just his fate on the line, but that of Johnny, Dan, Trixie, and the Doc as well. As that group walks through fire together, Wolcott continues sinking his plans ...

The new arrivals to Deadwood continue, and we've got a feeling Francis Wolcott is about to shake things up (and not in a good way). As he sets up both his business interests and his... uuuhhh... personal ones, Cy, E.B., and Maddie all see their...

The two-part opener of Deadwood's sophomore season concludes, with a few anti-climactic moments, but also plentiful great quotes and character scenes. Will Alma and Seth choose each other over their responsibilities? Will Al let his beef with S...
