Episode 21 - "Amalgamation and Capital"

For the premiere of season 3, Harry and Daniel are joined by a special guest, comedian Matt Donovan. Besides examining what's new in Deadwood and what is on the horizon, they also discuss the Cornish language, the Star Wars prequels, and whether or not Cy is the worst person on the show.

It's the finale of season 2, and what a finale it is. He who was often named finally arrives in camp as George Hearst makes his entrance. Plus a deal is struck with Yankton, Wu makes a big decision about his future, and there's a lot of axing in the back. And there's a wedding!

This week, the camp says goodbye to William. While Martha and Seth get used to the absence of William, Alma gets used to the idea of life with Ellsworth, Andy gets used to his new job, Cy gets used to playing second fiddle to Al, and Jane gets used to new boots.

In episode 10 of season 2, the camp is dealing with a trauma to a part of its body. William is gravely injured and not likely to recover, and nearly everyone in camp is affected by it. Business must go on, however, as Al enlists Sol and others to help him pull one over on Commissioner Jarry.

The podcast has finally returned after a long time off. In this special episode, Daniel and Harry discuss what kept them away, and what's been happening in the meantime. That means some discussion of the most exciting news of the year, the possibility of two Deadwood movies.

In the first of an unofficial two-parter, the residents of Deadwood find themselves forced to deal with the necessities of life when they'd really rather not. Al has to deal with Miss Isringhausen, Charlie has to deal with Wolcott, and Mose has to deal with himself.

This week, Al has is on a mission to get tounges a-wagging about Montana. Meanwhile, Deadwood ripples with excitement as a bicycle arrives for Tom Nuttall. On the same stagecoach is Mr. Blazanov, telegraph operator, but the really important thing is the bicycle.

This week, we take a break from episode coverage to pay tribute to the late great Powers Boothe. We cover some of his standout performances, from GUYANA TRAGEDY to SIN CITY, and also discuss his craft, his impact, and his legacy.

After an explosive and disturbing episode the week before, Deadwood turns in a quietly masterful character study. It starts out with one of the most famous speeches in the show's history, Al meets Alma, and of course, E.B. gets left out.

The sixth episode of season 2 is one of the most memorable in the show's run, as Wolcott's sickness shows its true face. Miss Isringhausen also shows her true face, much to Adams' chagrin, but she makes it up to him. Also, Steve finds a novel answer to the indignities visited upon him, and Merrick is cockblocked by doodoo.
