Actually, since the sets are long gone, the movie would probably start with a devastating fire that wipes out the camp (that really happened, and was foreshadowed with newly-appointed Fire Marshall Charlie Utter busting Tom Nuttall's chops about a stove pipe), and would then take place on a new set.

I guess Tolliver's gonna die in that fire.

hard to imagine them scraping the movie due to booth not being able to participate.
it will suck cuz he was such an amazing character, but in a show like deadwood where the town is such a major character its def not a impassable roadblock.

plus milch is broke as **** and needs the work.

*FINALLY* made the pilgrimage to Deadwood, SD. I highly recommend any fan the show should do so. Met a couple from GERMANY, who came for the same reason!

I recently watched this for the first time, here to appreciate!

Nice YTF. Any specifics you care to share?
I don't even know what to ask about.

Shoe, any subtle moments that stuck out to you on your first time through? Did you mainline it or watch it sporadically?

The Bullock hotel, built by Seth, is still open, on the same site as the hardware store! Corner lot!

The Adams Museum has a playbill from the "Gem Theare (sic) Al Swearengen Proprietor", saying it's the last remaining artifact of the place.

The gold claims were numbered. The No. 10 Saloon was named after the adjacent #10 claim.

The cemetery is on a hill HIGH over the town.

Gotta run, more to follow.

The gold rush started in the 1870's....but in the 1880's, someone discovered a stone in the hills with the following text carved into it:

Creeeeeeeepy!

This stone (called the Thoen stone, named after the guy who found it) was widely debated as a possible hoax, but historians checked out the names, and their families unanimously say, "Yup, he went out west looking for gold, disappeared, never heard from him again."

OK, last DW tourism post:

--Everything you need to see is all on Main St, within a few blocks. That's a nice feature.

--Staying in a 100+ year-old hotel was cool. The Trip Advisor reviews scared me away from the Bullock, as my gf is a light sleeper and the reviews criticized the rooms' inability to keep noise out. I stayed at the Iron Horse Inn, just steps away, also very old, and it has parking, which is a rare thing downtown. Great staff there, but noise of a different kind was a problem for a light sleeper: the pipes would occasionally let out a loud whine that sounded like the opening notes to Ave Maria.

--The scenic drives! Driving in, driving out! Spectacular! I always loved the shots of the pine-covered hills on the show (often CGI'd into the background), but no camera can capture how awesome they look. We spent an afternoon doing the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, which did nothing but trigger memories of the show: a small stream made me think, "Twixt nugget and nothing, she'll usually show you a little flake!", while canyon walls made me want to Reconnoiter the Rims.

But that drive paled to the one we made on our Mt Rushmore day: Needles Highway, Wildlife Loop, and Iron Mountain Road. That's all one big circle. As one online review wrote, the speed limit on these narrow twisting roads is usually 15-20 mph, but you'll want to go slower than that, and even stop sometimes, just to admire the scenery. Switchbacks, rock tunnels, wooden bridges, vast lookouts, waterfalls, buffalos! On my Twitter @youtalkfunny I got a short video of us trying to ease my car past a herd of buffalo who are lazily crossing the street in front of us!

(I'd embed the tweet here, but that never seems to work).

Oh, and Rushmore was cool, too.

I had some time to spare and drove through Spearfish Canyon a few weeks ago (alt14). I'm jealous of whoever lives in those houses.

Sounds like a blast YTF.
Good notes on the hotels if I can convince the other half to head that way.

Googled that Thoen stone. Cursive was all the rage!

awesome tr ytf! thanks!

OK, I'll try again.

I'll need to go back and watch it again. I binged it and was pretty much captivated from start to finish. The main thing that sticks out in my mind is the ending which I thought was kind of brutal, I really felt for the girl they killed at the end and the guy that liked her.

YTF, thanks for sharing. Great pictures and stories, I really want to visit now.

Were you able to just slowly drive through the herd? My first instinct would be to wait and let them pass but looks like that could have taken hours/days. It doesn't look like they are scared by your vehicle, are they used to cars weaving through the herd?

The baby buffalo seemed a little jumpy about it, but the adults were fine. I think this is how they spend most of their days, fenced in near the road for the tourists. I could have gotten through there much faster than I did, but was in no rush to end this cool moment.

I wasn't that moved by the girl's death, as we hardly knew her. I was much more crushed by Leon's death, and he was a scumbag, but one that I knew.

i think this show is a masterpiece, but when i tried to rewatch it i wasn't enjoying it.

i've watched rome 3 times, and loved it every time. same with GoT. but for some reason deadwood didn't have the rewatchability for me. same with the wire, only watched it once.

i will try both shows again though.

I never thought The Wire was special.

Come at me, bro.

I thought the Wire was great but also have trouble trying to rewatch it.

Came in hoping the bump was about a movie to be released. No one had better dare bump the Carnivale thread (I'm assuming there is a Carnivale thread).

de gustibus non est disputandum

.

10-4

Odd, I find Deadwood to be the most rewatchable show for me. Have gone through it at least 10 times now.

Why? Bored because you know what happens? I also enjoy revisiting The Wire, but not as much as Deadwood.

Just kidding, btw. It was kind of cool looking up the Latin phrase. And I'm constantly resisting the urge to drop "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" when it's appropriate (a phrase I learned from The West Wing).

Picked up a Bullock biography at the Mt Rushmore gift shop. I'm about 30 pages in. It's pretty boring so far, but every time they mention an anecdote that was depicted on the show, I find it exciting.

So far, all of the following things actually happened:

--As a lawman in Montana, Bullock held off a mob of vigilantes with a six-shooter and hung the man himself (book says this may be an embellishment, but it's how Bullock told the tale).

--On the day Hickok was killed, a man rode into camp with a severed Indian head to collect a bounty.

--At the No. 10 Saloon, a bartender named Harry shot and killed a guy named Bummer Dan, because Dan thought it would be funny to walk in wearing the distinctive coat of a guy who hated Harry. Dan didn't know the Coat Guy had earlier threatened to kill Harry, and Harry shot in self-defense. There was no mention of urinating in the spitoon. Harry was tried by a jury of miners and acquitted, just like McCall was.

--Another guy brought a severed Indian head to camp for a bounty. When he started selling tufts of hair from it, the newly-formed city government (five men including Bullock) were appalled and made him stop.
