Medicine won't cut it. In previous episodes, the Doc told Smith he had a lesion ( tumor )on his brain. The only way he can help him is to operate and the Rev. won't do it. If you remember , in the last episdode. the Doc excused himself from serving on the town council because he disclosed that he was convicted 7 times back East. for body snatching from exumed graves. he used the corpses to perform experimental surgery on. The premise is , that he can do the successful surgery, but the Rev. thinks it is God's gift and not a tumor.
I hope he changed his mind.!!!!

I think the whole Bullock marrying his brother's widow and being father to his nephew is interesting. I wonder if he ends up the Deadwood widow or really brings his wife up? I am thinking something bad must happen to them on the way. Just a guess. No research done here.
I wonder if Sai is really going to let the whore start her own Brothel.

Side question: are pigs really known to eat anything and/or everything (including people and bones)?
Betw this show & Red Dragon (Hannibal Lecter), these are the only times I've seen this...
Check out one of the best recently made movies " SNATCH ". Pigs eating dead bodies is thoroughly explained by " Bricktop " , one of the main characters. He goes through the whole process of this barnyard process, in one of the funniest black comedy dissertations in cinematic history.
Bricktop goes into detail about this process and actually maintains a herd of 12 porkers expressly for this purpose and has occasion to utilize their talents throughout the movie.

Gotcha!! I forgot about this movie!
Brick Top: Your always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently, the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. Sol (Lennie James): Would someone mind telling me, who are you? Brick Top: Then when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because there's no good in leaving it in a deep freeze for your mum to discover now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You gotta starve the pigs for a few days then the sight of a chopped up body would look like curry to a pissant. You gotta shave the head of your victim and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggy's digestion. You could do this afterwards of course but you don't wanna go sifting through pig **** now do ya? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to do the job in one sitting so be weary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs two-hundred pounds in about...eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of un-cooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression: "as greedy as a pig."
What is the record for the times the word CS is used in a show? This one is the new record holder.
Another solid episode and the scenes of the next one is making me think the next one will top em all.
Each and every episode makes me wonder like hell just what they are going to do at the end of the season. With most shows, you kinda have an idea, but with this one, even with the historical validity behind it, I honestly have no clue whatsoever how this season will end. And it's a strange feeling.

HBO:
What did you think when you first got a hold of the pilot script?
IAN MCSHANE:
I was in England, and my agent said that there was this script for American TV, and how would I like to videotape an audition. And I said, 'Jesus Christ! I think I've reached a stage better than that at my age.' And he said, 'Well, it's HBO, it's David Milch and it's Walter Hill.' And I said, 'Where do you want me to show up?' So I did my tape, and two days later I was in Hollywood, and three weeks later I was on a ranch in California with a big f**king mustache.
HBO:
You shot the pilot out at Gene Autry's ranch?
IAN MCSHANE:
Yeah. Autry'd be spinning in his f**king grave if he knew what we were shooting out at his ranch!
HBO:
Is it true what they say about playing the villain?
IAN MCSHANE:
Well, they say the devil gets the best tunes, yeah. I did the musical version of The Witches of Eastwick two or three years ago, playing Daryl Van Horne. So I think it was a nice build-up to Al Swearengen.
HBO:
The real devil...
IAN MCSHANE:
The real devil, yeah. Mr. Swearengen, as Mr. Milch writes him and I try to do him, is a complex, incredible human being, a pioneer. Extraordinary. He's just one of the forces of nature.
HBO:
A lot of people have described working with Milch, and his process of reworking the script after watching the actors. Did you find it unnerving to work with a script that was constantly evolving?
IAN MCSHANE:
No, I found it totally exciting personally. He's a true producer-creator; he sees a certain way. The actors love it because you've got that immediacy going on, it's sort of part of the action.
HBO:
The costumes are authentic wool, the streets are mud, and you're in Southern California in July. Would you call the set conditions grueling?
IAN MCSHANE:
It was hot, but, you know, it somehow gets you into it. The first few days out there, I think it got up to 125 degrees on the sound stage. They had this air conditioner, I think it was the first one invented. [Laughing] The one cube of ice. It was steaming, but somehow it sort of concentrated you, you know everybody was so up for the job. Everybody was soaked, and, you know, it's quite an intense show in a way. But it's also a lot of fun to do.
HBO:
Did you go through a cowboy phase as a kid?
IAN MCSHANE:
Oh yeah, my dad was a professional soccer play for Manchester United, and when they toured America back in '51, he brought me a little Roy Rogers suit. I've still got the pair of guns from it.
You know, I actually preferred the Indians, but they weren't selling Indian outfits then.
HBO:
So it's almost time to return to production for season two.
IAN MCSHANE:
We got word last week, so the old mustache is growing back in shape again.
HBO:
How does it feel, heading back in for another round?
IAN MCSHANE:
You know something, it's great. I can't wait to get back there-- it's very thrilling.
If you're an actor and you enjoy what you do, it's a hell of a job. In season two, you should really be feeling the confidence of season one, and you also want it to be better than the first season. So everybody's up for it in a different way.
And you don't know what Milch has got up his sleeve. He's a hard man to give a compliment to, you know? You say, 'David, if I wasn't in this show, I'd be watching it.' And the reply is: 'Wait 'til you see what storylines I got for you next year.' [Laughing].
