cliaz Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I haven't watch this season but after listening to everyone talk about the fight scene I had to catch it. So I watch this new one last night as well and I have a question. This Hearst guy, what makes him so bad a$$ that he has swearengen and that other dude shaking in their boots? I mean Hearst had that other dude by the ear and he looked scared. I remember Hearst showing up towards the end of last season but they didn't really get into his character that much. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliaz Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 How does he have the power to sell the entire camp?

Marauders11 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Plain and simple Hearst has the money, with the money comes the power, with the power comes the ability to strike fear in the hearts of men- Was Don Corleone all that scary from a physical standpoint- no, but if he grabbed someone by the ear like that you can bet that poor bastage would be scared. Hearst is a POWERFUL dude that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearst is a POWERFUL dude that is all. I do keep asking myself though, like Cliaz said before, why not just kill him? Seems like that would end all his BS. And is that the guy from Simon & Simon? I was just gonna ask where he was from but while I was typing Simon & Simon popped into my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauders11 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 George Hearst (Gerald McRaney) does not make his appearance on screen until the finale of season two, but his name is in the minds and on the lips of many as his geologist, Wolcott, attempts to buy up and otherwise acquire gold claims for him throughout the second season. He is known as "Boy-The-Earth-Talks-To" due to his skill and obsession with finding gold ("the color" as he calls it). In Boy the Earth Talks To (Season 2 Finale), Hearst makes several arrangements with figures in the camp, including purchasing the Grand Central from Farnum. An avowed misanthropic sociopath (as revealed in Season 3), he acknowledges the necessities of social propriety by firing Wolcott for cutting the throats of three prostitutes. Tolliver attempts to blackmail Hearst for a 5% commission by claiming he possesses a letter containing Wolcott's admission to the murders. Hearst also allows Wu to take over Chinese arrangements from Lee when he learns Lee is burning the bodies of dead whores. In the Third season, Hearst remains in Deadwood - personally overseeing his interests in the camp, including aquiring the Garret claim and suppressing attempts by his miners to organize and form unions. Obsessed with 'the color', Hearst's ultimate goal is total control of Deadwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellab Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hearst was in South Dakota pheasant hunting three years ago, I would image he was also checking out Deadwood for his upcoming appearance. The problem is Captain Turner is not his only secruity if you ask me. If they kill him they will bury the camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 This is a pretty neat read. http://www.legendsofamerica.com/WE-DeadwoodHBO.html I often try to convince myself of certain things while watching Deadwood based on history. I.e. my wife thinks that Hearst is going to be killed soon. I say that history proves that he is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 are you serious? D@mn it, now i'm gonna have to watch the whole season now. How can anyone cut off al's finger? He is a bad a$$ That is what was behind Hearst flipping Swearengen the bird and asking "How's the finger?" in the latest episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
