Of course, in the years since, Milch has told me that he more or less knew the show wouldn’t be back, and that as a result he wrote this episode – and the final scene that provides its title – as the closest he could get to a conclusion. I reviewed that episode, like I reviewed most of that final season, on my old blog, and at the time felt frustrated with “Tell Him Something Pretty” as an end to the third season, but surprisingly effective as an abrupt end to the series as a whole. It’s nearly seven years to the day that “Deadwood” came to an end. “In the aftermath, play the lie as mine, knowing I speak of you in Heaven.” -Al Swearengen
A review of the series finale, “Tell Him Something Pretty,” coming up just as soon as I ask for unguent by secret thinking… We’ve come to the end of our three summer-long rewatch of David Milch’s revisionist Western “Deadwood.” No need for any disclaimers about veterans versus newbies at this point no more episodes after this, folks.
