By the way, do you think they cast Molly Parker as Mrs. Garret because her breakthrough role was as a necrophiliac (dead wood, geddit?), though as an opium addict and proper woman, I imagine her character is more of a reference to "McCabe and Mrs. Miller".

Take a drink everytime somebody says "cocksucker" on Deadwood and in 50 years when they commercialize electricity, boy, howdy, will we give that Edison eastern bastard a run for his money, not to mention. lighting up Hollywood.

Take a drink whenever somebody says "cocksucker" on Deadwood, and they'll ship your corpse back to New York City as an exhibit in P.T. Barnum's Times Square Exhibition.

Or is "cocksucker" the one Bart Simpsom FCC approved vulgarity that you can use on the public airwaves, especially with scruffy, dirty, cowboys? And given the lineup of the Village People, an Indian Chief is next.

I didn't say that cocksucker wasn't old fashioned, you cocksucker, I just wondered that every second cocksucker, would have used the word "cocksucker" all the cocksucking time. Especially when they weren't actually sucking cock, cocksucker.

It is the use of old fashioned language and colloquialisms that give the show its charm and authenticity ( bad language excepted).

Any town which has Brad Dourif as the doctor is a town I don't want to live in. So far from what I've seen, Deadwood really reminds me of McCabe And Mrs. Miller, not the least because of Carradine (his film debut). But did they really say "cocksucker" that much in the wild west? And if so, why was there no pulp western hero known as the Cocksucker Kid? Or a town called Cocksucker?
