Deadwood rules

Now that I've assuaged some of my grief with various 'home remedies'....

You scored as Seth Bullock. You didn't want to be sheriff, but someone had to do it. You wish you didn't have such a high moral compass, because you just want to sit in the background. However, in this town someone needs to step up, and if no one else will, that only leaves you. If evil only needs the good to do nothing, you won't watch from the sidelines. (Seth Bullock is played by Timothy Olyphant) Calamity Jane 69% Seth Bullock 69% E. B. Farnum 63% Trixie 63% Cy Tolliver 56% Joanie Stubbs 50% Doc Cochran 50% Mr Wu 50% Al Swearengen 44% Alma Garret 38% What kind of (Deadwood) Cocksucker are you? created with QuizFarm.com

I could have been Calamity Jane based on one question (both have a 69% score). E.B. Farnum is way off - what a fucker. Played with incredible oiliness by (and it took me a while to recognize this) the same actor who played the “chicken head” in Blade Runner. I really wanted to be Al Swearengen, or even Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu is who I most emulate when speaking lines from Deadwood to D, for some reason, even though most of Wu's lines are simple, Hong Kong accented variations of “Cocksucker”, coupled with violent hand motions and sketches. Calamity Jane hides her grief in a haze of alcoholism, bluster, and sexual deviance, so there's that.

I'm sorry that Deadwood is ending 4 episodes from now, because I think it is one of the better television shows I've seen in my lifetime. Seth Bullock is sort of an ass, and I wouldn't claim him as one I would model my life after, but still sort of funny, what with the “Seth” thing. There is a wiki entry re the real Seth Bullock, and others on this list.

Rent the

Deadwood

DVDs, turn on the subtitles, and watch several in a row. Spectacular drama, inverted, nearly Shakespearean dialogue, historically accurate language, you'll soon be hooked.

Now playing, Toumani Diabate - Alla L'Aa Ke - from the album: Kaira
