I wanna see Hearst take a few more bullets.
Bears repeating. I'd like that, or at least a nice solid beating.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

What the hell was Cy so upset about? Is there some connection between him and Ellsworth I've not encountered yet?
I think Ellsworth was just universally beloved in the camp. Typical of Tolliver to turn his emotions into dumb rage against the whores.
we know Al is fond of him
Yeah, he's alright. (Sorry, that's become a particularly amusing running joke.) I like his outsider's take on the politics of the town. And his offer to be used as ballast in a fight.
at least a nice solid beating
I'm wondering if he can lose a finger. I've been carrying "I'm having mine served cold" as my tag for a while on another board, and that's one dish of revenge that can't come soon enough.

I fear that, like the acting troupe, Hearst's ultimate fate on the show (be it historically accurate or not) may have needed a fourth season to play itself out as Milch planned it. I'm curious if there is/was a way to have it play out as history did and still have the man lose in some substantial way.

That's the rabbit I've been waiting to see pulled from the hat.

Yes. Unfortunately, there seems to be a herd of Bullwinkles running HBO.

I have heard that we are gonna see these people again, though. Not to sound like Jarry or anything, though, but I bet that show does cost a lot.(Won't be the same in big chunks like that, but...) Oh.(puts out peaches) At my meetings we have refreshments.

No, I am happy about that under the circumstances, but it's probably fucked the master plan pretty hard.

Oh, you mean, like arcs and shit? Yeah, those are probably fucked harder than the girls after a gold strike. But I trust the writing staff to minimize the damage.

I dunno. HBO's fucked this one up flatter than hammered shit.

I know, but I am biased. I know, were I in Albrecht's place, I'd give the Daves anything they wanted and then they couldn't have anything else but their shows. Not that there is anything wrong with that, besides making the Box Office name stupid.
