    Right after this scene, Joanie goes to Cy, discouraged from continuing her newly opened brothel because of what Wolcott did there. And Cy gives her a poisonous talk that exploits her insecurities in order to put her again under his control. It's a subtle but stark contrast between the "parenting" styles of these two crime bosses.

    "You ever been beaten, Merrick?"
    If Al asked any other person in town that question, they would be terrified and in fear for their life. Merrick readily says his only "beating" was the time he got slapped for being hysterical. Then he gets slapped again and just whines: "Stop it, Al!" He's irritated, but not intimidated or scared at all. A testament to their friendship.

Swearingen was giving good advice, and in this case it’s obvious that (as with the preacher he mercy-killed) it was done with at least a certain degree of wry affection, and not just self-interest. People are complicated.

If anything he was merciful and benevolent when compared to his rivals or competitors. The man cared deeply about his adopted family. Trixie, Jewel, Johnny, Dan, Doc, Wu. Hell later that came to include Bullock and Star as well as Alma and her adopted child. The man treated everyone he cared about better than anyone ever treated him growing up.

    One of my favorite scenes in a brilliant series chock full of them. It’s long-established at this point that Al Swearingen is a very bad man indeed. But his regard for Merrick is genuine. He’s very familiar with the rules of the world they’re both obliged to live in, and in that context his attempt to set the timid publisher straight is almost touching.

      I understand what you mean by that, but to me, it ain't that unlikely. Yes, Al surely doesn't strike us as a compassionate person, but that's a facade he is used to concealing himself beneath. They all need to work together and try to bear each other one way or another, but in Al's case he is the only one who can handle the dirty work without being traumatized. It's not like he can't feel, actually it's the reverse, referring to the only time we saw him almost cry when he watched the reverent from the balcony, or how he feels about Trixie. Yet he chooses when to feel, or to show emotions. It's how its done. And he is the only one who can make that sacrifice and keep the wheel turning

    • @TheBrynoch
      @TheBrynoch Před 3 lety +2

      @@Cuntstantine Al is the most integrated of all characters outside of Sol Star and maybe Trixie at the end of it. He knows he can behave monstrously, accepts it as necessary and controls it. Bullock lashes out in rage and then is hurt and ashamed. Doc sees the world of pain and is futile against most of it, then suffers in drink because of he isn't enough to heal the suffering. Alma starts the journey as a victim but becomes stronger as she accepts what she wants and what she must give up to get it. Merrick is naive but pushing working on it, especially through this scene. Not only mentally accepting consequences, but physically as well. You can list the traits of all the major characters, see what they think motivates them, what truly motivates them, and how they react to the trauma of what they must do to live in their world and accomplish their goals. All of the characters are so damned well done.

But, ..Jesus!, ..what it & we have become in the time since! Given the chance, I'd go back without an eye batted or an ounce of regret for what'd be left 'behind' here in this lifeless digital-cellular- socially obsessed screen age. Fuck the 21st Century & the meaningless void of an America that made itself into what it is today. I smile evilly at the thought of the short work Al & Woo's pigs would have made of one Donald John Trump if he'd ever gone strutting up the thoroughfare & into the Gem. Swearengen would have wiped (or more likely cut) that arrogant smirk right off his face, called for Johnny with the sled, had Jewell take care of the bloodstain on the office floor, & gone happily back to Dolly & his whiskey or a nice tin cup of coffee. Ahhh, ..better days.

    I love the show so very much, but it's ludicrous that the person who built the building would be unaware of the back passage.

    Unless of course Al awakens one day to discover what humanity really is. A time and place where cash is as good as toilet paper. Nothing is to be exacted for simply living life. Which may cause Al to ask how this is possible. Al himself may need to change before he could understand.

      I don't think you quite understood what Al meant here. And Al clearly knows this better than anybody else in the show. He came from nothing.

    • @johnrobinson1762
      @johnrobinson1762 Před rokem

      It’s because Al comes at people like a bullet. He stares people in the eye when he addresses them which is why what he says seemmso poignant.

      I'm Yale '75. NCAA hockey champions a couple years ago. Not a sport for pussies, as Al would say.
      And still the only Division I league that doesn't give sports scholarships.

    Sign that man up right next to Alec Baldwin-
    Only, Swearegen is gentler than Alec in Glengarry Glen Ross....
    and deeper too. Swearengan is a brother to Tony Soprano-
    a bad man with some impulses in the humanitarian direction-
    and charming -when he is not breaking balls.
