I think Farnum's little soliloquies are becoming my favorite. His comment about "removing his expectoration from my cheeck" was great.

I feel like i missed an episode, but i don't think i did. Why was Bullock gone this episode? Why was Hearst all pissed at Farnum (whom is one of the best characters )? It's hard to figure out everything going on in this show, that's how they want it to be though i guess.
Hearst preys on the weak. At a moment of frustration in his other "goings on" he just took it out on Farnum to get his dose of control.
I have a harder time with Al- who killed Alma Garret's first husband after selling him land he thought was worthless but is now a "humanitarian" to her. It seems inconsitent to me.
Joanie Stubbs- Was she a lesbo all along or was that just done for shock value? I never did see chemistry with her and Jane.
Al would rather see Alma in control of the land than Hearst.
Yep, plus he now clearly has a strong personal dislike (to put it mildly) for Hearst.
If the Garret claim falls to Hearst so does the rest of the town and Al.
Yes but I don't understand why she puts up with him knowing he killed her husband.
What are her choices?
She wants to continue to own/operate the claim and live in the camp. The only way to do that with Hearst there is to align herself with Al. IIRC, her marriage to Brom was more of convenience than anything else as well.
It is clear that the brutality of Hearst's methods have quailed everyone, even Al (who we know is not completely heartless no matter how well he tries to hide it). The scene where the wagon rolled by and Cy Tolliver saw it was quite something. For a man who has so very little in the way of redeeming character (much less than Al) to be so moved/angered (and maybe fearful) as to have to vent his emtotions against those at hand to provide some relief was amazing.
Great assessment. I found it curious that Cy was so angry. Was he angry about Ellsworth or about the state of the camp? I don't remember Cy interacting much with Ellsworth, but I might be forgetting some things.
He didn't have a lot on interaction with Ellsworth (whom everyone seemed to like quite a bit), but he had no ill will against him. I think it is what Ellsworth?s murder so vividly illustrated: the fact that they all are dispensable merely at Hearst's will or whim (especially Cy given his involvement with Hearst). Cy feels weak/powerless and it is driving him crazy with fear/anger.
Also, did you see the look he gave Langrishe in the hall? Jesus! I would been sitting up in my room with a pistol in my hand and a chair propped against the doorhandle for a week.

I was kind of expecting a cliffhanger, but oh well. It was a good episode, maybe not season finale worthy, but i don't really look at it as the season finale, since there won't be another season. Waiting for the series finale.

There's 4 hours left, if they had ended it with everybody dying (which historically didn't happen) then what would they have done for the two specials? It sucks that they didn't kill Hearst, but who knows what'll happen.

George Hearst supposedly died in New York like 12 years later. So them killing him off in the camp wouldn't be historically accurate either.
Just started watching season one, watched the first 5 episodes... Till now its not really that thrilling, its gripping but not thrilling. I mean like, if I stopped watching now, I really wouldn't miss it... I read quiet a few mentions of it in other threads and was expecting a little bit more thrill. It almost seems like an easy going story about a lawless small town in the wild wild west...
Does it get any better? or does it stay the same way? I like the show and will continue watching it anyways, just want to be mentally prepared for whats in store...
