the real hooplehead was you all along
The size of the real Bullock's moustache has your answer.
he seemed pretty composed except he had a temper. i dont think hes a maniac
He wasn't a maniac, just completely unhinged
Why are the Pinkertons always portrayed as the bad guys
nice try, p*nkerton scum
Apparently they still operate. I'm not sure how prevalent they are and must not nearly be as big as Blackwater but they're still around.
Did they literally just raided a dude for breaking the street date on a set of fricking magic cards lmao
They're a subsidiary of Securitas AB, still fairly prevalent in the US.
They literally became the FBI, anon.
>Why are the bad guys portrayed as the bad guys
they sued rockstar over red dead redemption and got a settlement out of it. the copyright for pinkerton is still used by some security agency.
and the still do dirtywork for robber barons
honestly i thing mustaches like this weren't so much a fashion statement as they were just covering up tooth decay
No way they're still hired
wizards of the coast hired them to go harass some youtuber who got some magic the gathering cards before their official launch
Proof

holy shit what
Imagine hiring Blackwater to go after normal people
they were the glowies of their time. Soulless bloodthirsty bootstomping homosexuals.
Because they were ballbreakers. You hired them to come in and frick people up. Or to protect something and frick up anyone trying to mess with it. Mercenaries aren't suppose to be nice
What even are the Pinkertons?
The oldest """private security""" firm in the US. Realistically they're just hired goons and always have been.
Like mercenaries?
Yup basically. They’re hired guns that have been historically since the Wild West. You see them in typical Westerns as hired bodyguards or goons that do the bidding of some robber baron. I don’t think the original Mr. Pinkerton was such a bad guy but he probably took shit from no one and would beak anybody’s legs for a paycheck so yeah they had a nasty reputation back then.
Sort of, but they only operate in the US. They're not like a Blackwater that get hired to cause trouble on another continent. Private companies hire them to do whatever the frick. Usually something really fricking scummy like spying on warehouse employees (Amazon).
They were originally established to function as a police service in frontier towns that lacked law enforcement capacity, in addition to protecting the railroads, but they pretty much immediately ended up uprooting communities and brutalizing striking mine workers.
I fail to see how Rayban Gibbons is any less of an unhinged maniac.
Because most westerns are from the perspective of people that ended up in conflict with them, also mercenaries are inherently soulless.
>I fail to see how Rayban Gibbons is any less of an unhinged maniac.
It's a little wild and a little strange when you're justified out on the range.
Raylan is just a bit unorthodox. Bullock is an actual psycho.
Imagine eating soup with that
But I don't have a mustache like that and no soup. What are talking about
>get mad
>start sniffing and rubbing your nose alot and look like you gonna cry like a b***h homie
what was this performance
I recall reading that irl they eventually tried to depose him as Sheriff of Deadwood and he didn't let them
>Sheriff Bullock, you have been relieved of your duties. Please hand in your badge.
>No.
>Understandable. Have a nice day.
Yes. He had to be given how the times were back then.
Nice try EB.
>Could you have been born, Richardson? And not egg-hatched as I've always assumed?
>mfw richardson is dead
That's my favorite scene in the whole series. It might be the funniest scene from any show ever.
>Whatever night I give it count on me not to mince words. Electors of the camp, as to who should serve as mayor, reasonable men may differ, but as to who should be sheriff, we all ought speak with one voice and our words should be: Turn out the maniac Bullock! Who set upon the mayor unprovoked, who beat him with...merciless protraction. Bullock should be murdered! We should rise up and murder Bullock! Thank you very much.
EB had the best dialogue out of everyone.
>Thought William Sanderson died
>Google
>He's still alive
For me it's the bit immediately after Bullock's beating where Swearengen is trying to find out if E.B. was giving info to Hearst and threatens to feed him to the pigs
>I will profane your fricking remains
>not my remains, Al
>Gabriel's trumpet shall produce you from the ass of a pig
And then to top it all off even though he believes E.B. he tells him he's such a scumbag Bullock wasn't completely out of line to suspect him and that he needs to not be too upset about getting his face caved in and E.B. gives him a look like "I can't believe you've done this"
>not my remains, Al
I recalled the exact inflection when I read it kek
>Come Hearst! I've seen the Ethiope. Who indeed could miss her? And even as she supplants Richardson, what person I wonder, of what depraved, exotic origin have you engaged to take my place!?
>When EBs entire mayor speech is basically calling the other guy a israelite
What part?? Episode?
>“I imagine the pool that spawned you. I am filling it with rocks. I am holding shut your gills, to prevent you from taking in air... I suppose the meeting went quite well.
SWIDGEN
wienerSUCKAH.
Is it worth watching? Just finished justified and started watching today
It is, but the dialogue can be hard to understand especially if English is not your first language.
Ain't that the purest form or Black person logic?
Now you wait, while he translates from ape
Yes, actually way worse.
Never forgest Olyphant looked like a weird giant baby when he played Hitman.
I like the dude, it's just bizarre and hilarious
He's a A+ class character actor and fricking sucks as anything else.
Reminder that the irl ending of Deadwood is Hearst burning the town to cinders and ash, Bullock going to DC to get some guns from his best friend Teddy Roosevelt, and then coming back to get Hearst.
That would have been fricking awesome. The dialogue filtered too many brainlets for the show to continue.
Is this true or are you bullshiting me? I don't know much about history.
I'm exaggerting the best friend bit, but you can dig into whatever your preferred search engine is for the rest. Obviously accounts vary being historical and the west, but more or less yeah.
Bullock was good friends with Teddy Roosevelt IRL, but the real Hearst by all accounts had no conflict with the townspeople of Deadwood.
The only real part is that at one point the camp / town had a major fire and that Seth Bullock made friends with Teddy Roosevelt.
>we missed out on this kino
Who do I need to go back in time to kill to stop them from cancelling Deadwood?
whomever was in charge of hbo back in 2003 or whenever the show was airing.
What did Swearigen have against Hawkeye?
I think Al saw Silas as someone he could mentor and shape into a natural successor, whereas Dan was too fight-prone and thick and Trixie was never gonna be more than top prostitute. But then Silas goes and fricks off looking for Hawkeye, which pisses off Al. I think its as simple as that.
Who was Hawkeye again?
Supposedly the real Bullock was known to be a tough son of a b***h and he had such a reputation that he boasted he never had to shoot anyone in Deadwood because he was so feared as a lawman. The series kinda plays around with that because we see that although Bullock has a temper he’s also reluctant to draw on anyone. I kinda wondered if he was the type of guy who would talk shit so much that both himself and others would believe he was such a badass and the reputation would stick. Also whether real or fictional Bullock was a badass or actually a coward or not I’d argue he should’ve shot a lot of buttholes anyways in both real life and the series. Interestingly both he and Swearigen kept the peace in Deadwood for a time in their own unique ways but the real Al eventually got killed in a shootout trying to leave Deadwood for good in an epic death by the train station but the real Bullock eventually just retired to a farm with his family. The series probably never captured the total insanity of the real historical Deadwood but tried it’s best nonetheless.
Why did they shoot up Swearigen?
Why Americans in 19th century so violent?
Hybrid vigor isn't a meme.
They honestly weren't, it's just a few incidents that were heavily mythologized. Europe was way more violent in the same time period.
But people in Europe weren’t riding around on horseback blasting each other with rifles and Remington revolvers
Must've been spent from the 4 millenia previous
To sum it up because they were settlers in a still hostile territory of Natives indigenous to the land they were trying to steal so there was always violence of something. Plus guns were really important to survival in America more so than any nation. Most individuals in other countries didn’t own many guns except for your hunters, farmers and soldiers but not Americans. Every Tom, Dick and Harry had one even if they didn’t necessarily need it for just protection. And before the States became a thing every territory had a period of almost complete lawlessness hence the name the Wild West.
>Bein' a loud-mouthed c**t, I guess sometime since he's been here this fella who don't wanna play no more probably spoke of killin' Wild Bill Hickok
Well, we're Bill Hickok's friends.
There was no record of the Earp brothers being in Deadwood. That was just fan service.
Maybe the gambling and dicky were just that good in Deadwood
It's why that's the worst moment of the show.
SAN FRANCISCO wiener SUCKA
Why did everyone talk do weird
Do clue
Yes
Why did Al always talk to that one hooker who he had suck his dick while he goes on some random rant? Did that actually happen in real life?
>>Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair or frickin’ beatin’s. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man — and give some back.
Kino
The parents of the actor who played Bullock's son were such a pain in the ass they wrote the scene where the kid dies just to get rid of them.
Frick you now I got rewatch this show
How does one apply to become a Pinkerton
You unfrick yourself from indolence.
You wienersucker.
I miss this show. Why didn't it get 25 seasons?
Because Milch is dying.
he could still probably write circles around these fools even with alzheimers
If you only watch season one you get a complete arc and almost everyone has themselves a happy ending. Well, not Alma's dad.
I used to be a Pinkerton agent in the early 2000s. AMA
Was your boss a wienersucker? Did you let your boss ass-frick you to get a raise? Was it your boss who got you hooked on sucking wiener?
Just kidding...
What did you have to do? What was it like? Do you miss it?
