Deadwood back from...the dead?

Deadwood is already coming back. It's called Hell on Wheels.

/albeit in a much tamer form.

Deadwood is pretty much as good as it gets, right up there with The Wire and Breaking Bad as the best shows ever to hit TV screens. I'd welcome it back with open arms and would hope dearly they could recapture some of the magic.

But you know what? I don't need it to come back. It went out on a fine note. Despite protests to the contrary, most major storylines had enough closure. Season 3 provided a complete story arc and wrapped up plenty that had come before. When the series ended I did not feel as if I was left hanging. I wanted MORE, yes, but I also felt like the opening chapter of that town's story had been told.

In a lot of ways, it would probably be best if it DIDN'T come back. Remember, you can't go home again.

Deadwood was one of the best shows I've ever seen. The writing was incredible - like a foul-mouthed Shakespeare landed in the wild west.

Um...there was a war with Hearst on the verge of of consuming the town and then the show just ended. I totally felt left hanging.

El Brujo: Um...there was a war with Hearst on the verge of of consuming the town and then the show just ended.

You're misremembering. The matter was resolved. A clash was building and reached an escalation point when Trixie shot Hearst. Two militias were gathered, but the crisis was brought to an end after Hearst was duped by a fake corpse. Meanwhile, Alma sold her mining interests to Hearst, ending that struggle, and the election results were decided, bringing that to a close. Hearst leaves town at the end of the show.

I watched it this winter, and that's pretty much how it went down. Al, Seth and E.B. were losing their power, since Hearst now controlled the gold and the folks in Yankton. I, too, want more, but as far as the town's growth, it was a good point to end. A coming-of-age story about a wild and crazy young kid who has some great adventures, learns a bit about himself, and finally, reluctantly, settles down so he can grow up and become a 'man', at least in the eyes of his peers, up to whom he didn't necessarily look. All this under the guidance of one shoulder-devil or another...

Not only that but the performances from everybody were top notch. I mean even the secondary and tertiary characters totally gave amazing performances. I mean even if you look at someone like Johnny the bartender, the guy is mostly comic relief, but he gives a better performance than most actors on network tv. And Dan the bartender in the Gem was the "Franks and Beans" guy from There's Something about Mary yet his performance was better than any just about anyone on any other show either.

If you look at the IMDB Deadwood Board W. Earl Brown (the guy who played Dan) posts sometimes. He has basically said that everyone loved working on that show really loved working on it to the point where if more scripts were written and produced people would find time to be in it.

I'm remembering it how you did. Sure, all of the above happened, but I thought the creator originally planned season 3 as the set-up to all out hell breaking loose in season 4. The ending to 3 stands as a series finale, but it could have been so much more.

I don't doubt that, but with other series commitments, they'd likely have a better time trying to make the movies to end the show during the hiatus periods.

Highly recommend reading the book. It's about an average joe in the 19th century that gets kidnapped by pirates and, with few options, becomes a pirate himself. Great story (as are most of Tim Powers' novels).

Just now starting to watch Deadwood (give me a break I don't have HBO and didn't know much about it until it was too late). Also, unless I am mistaken Ian McShane is in the Pillars of The Earth miniseries, which I have heard great things about.
 
Ni!

Yep, and I'm glad the movie was made if only to give Powers a dumptruck full of money for the rights.

It was something like that. I agree with what you are saying. Yes technically they tied up everything, but it was because they had to. What looked like what was going to be a season worth of story arc got wrapped up in about 3 episodes. It was way abbreviated and didn't do the build-up justice. Season 3, while good, was a let down. Season 2 is possibly one of the best single seasons of any TV show ever (my tie would be Spartacus original season).

El Brujo: Um...there was a war with Hearst on the verge of of consuming the town and then the show just ended. I totally felt left hanging.

One of the main themes of Deadwood was the ending of the Old West and the ushering in of civilization, for all its good and bad. The main characters voluntarily showing restraint in situations where restraint had not been necessary before was common plot element.

The season had been building up to a big, western shoot out between the two factions that would resolve the issue once and for all. But Al realized that actually killing Hearst wouldn't solve anything because the shareholders of Hearst's company would still come after the claims. So by avoiding the war, Al chose the Un-Western solution and changed with the times and survived. Which was Al's greatest strength throughout the series, and a fitting (albeit anti-climactic) end to the series.

I wish Deadwood had lasted another season or two, but I don't want it to come back. Shows never feel the same when they do that (Firefly, Trailer Park Boys, the X-files).

Season 2 was phenomenal. Olyphant and McShane were perfect foils for each other. I kind of wished the Mayor was killed early on rather than Bill. I don't think Doc Holiday ever rode through Deadwood, but they worked in the Wyatt's so why not Doc!

/the Deadwood connection on Sons of Anarchy is fantastic

Yup. They planned for the 4th season to be the last season and in the last episode the town would burn to the ground.

Would do just as fine for it to burn at the end of the 2nd movie.

zombiegoat: Al Swearengen was a grimy god.

But he wasn't a grimy god. He wasn't a god at all. He made his share of mistakes and miscalculations, and really, he's a pure survivalist, which is something a god never has to worry about being. Al knew and understood his mortality and the fragility of his position.

I guess that's why I liked the show, everyone seemed so organic and human. Except for Timothy Olyphant, who was a stiff the entire series. Though that might've been the point.

I think you're confusing the 'capitol G' God with the lower case version. As in, the non-Christian version(s). Greek/Roman gods had their flaws, many other religions are similar.

It would be a great project, and from a logistic standpoint still easy to pull off all these years later.

You just set the opening of the movie with the 1879 fire and EB Farnum "going missing", with Sol running for mayor, all of which really happened.

You then fudge the timeline a bit and have the whole Teddy Roosevelt/Seth/Sol bits happen. Because Teddy Roosevelt listening to Al talk about political c*cksuckers would be hilarious.
