“Reconnnoitering the Rim”, Deadwood‘s richly textured third episode, is titled after Al’s ominous conversation with Brom and Dan, encouraging Brom to go search for the source of the gold nuggets he found before buying Driscoll’s claim – however, it’s a term that applies to every major character in the hour, all trying to figure out their places in the rapidly expanding settlement. This particular skill required diligent observation and cautious maneuvering to reconnoiter (a term with a vaguely militaristic back ground) was to play chess with nature, feeling out its patterns and mastering the layout of the land, to pick at its weak spots and uncover its hidden riches. A bit of luck was also necessary, but what truly separated the upper echelon of prospectors was their ability to survey, tracing the path from flake to deposit, analyzing the land to figure out where the treasure was hidden. Prospecting gold in the hills of the Old West required a few specific traits without a good work ethic and a lot of patience, there was no chance of hitting jackpot in the shallow waters of unsettled lands. In anticipation for the new film, Randy’s re-watching the entire series, in a new column titled One Vile Rewatch.)
