The final scene of season three, with Swearengen scrubbing the floor, cleaning the blood of an innocent hooker murdered to placate Hearst (capitalism in its most brutal form), uttering the series' final sentence, "Wants me to tell him something pretty," sums it up beautifully.
There was no happy ending. There was to be no big final battle. The town paid dearly to survive the onslaught of Hearst. Elsworth was murdered, Swearengen lost a finger, Alma was forced to sell her claim and Bullock was unmanned. But Deadwood survived. With annexation and elections, it became a civilized town. And with one blood stain, George Hearst showed the social order of capitalism to be no less bloody than a town without law.
No big deal, vassever. Bruno is our latest guest for Digg Dialogg.
