"Old-Timey Depression Hour"

As we enter the second half of Deadwood's original run, this cast of characters still has delightful new combinations to present. No, we're not talking about Al and a head in a box -- but the very first face-to-face between Al and Alma. We're much bigger fans of that meeting than the one between Alma and Seth, whose passive attitude particularly bugs us this week. Meanwhile, both Joanie and Jane are reaching new low points, and someone who deserves an ass-kicking receives it in a most satisfying way.
