I love Franklin Ajaye in this role but could live without more of this odd couple.
What does Ellsworth's death mean for Seth and Alma - and, of course, Martha? This could have been one of season four's most interesting subplots: how does Martha balance her innate decency and selflessness with the knowledge that her husband is spending more time with his ex-mistress?. I can only hope Al's "Get busy living or get busy dying" speech would have continued to keep Doc upright and active through the final season. Is the Doc really dying, or is he just a hypochondriac with a bad cough? Not sure if Brad Dourif had other commitments that kept him away from the set a lot this season, but I felt like Doc, Sol and Adams suffered the most in terms of screen time sacrificed to new characters and concerns. But I doubt we ever would have found out what Odell's game was, any more than we found out what Wyatt's genius plan was. runs the Grand Central)? And would she even be willing to work for him anymore? I suppose Lou might have become yet another member of this sprawling supporting cast in season four, because the show already didn't have enough characters to service. I doubt we would have seen Wyatt and Morgan again, and with Hearst on his way to Montana, would Aunt Lou be following, or would she be one of the people Hearst left behind to keep an eye on his interests (in this case, how E.B. Odell's death and the Earps, two plots that popped up mid-season, didn't really go anywhere and then stopped abruptly. Hell, maybe Milch really does like writing meta, after all. Still, it felt like Cy outlived his usefulness a long time ago - maybe not a surprise, since the character only existed because Milch felt bad that Powers Boothe was too sick to play Swearengen when the pilot was filmed - and he spent most of his seasons being irritated at how marginal he had become. 
What's eating Cy Tolliver? Okay, in this particular case, it was pretty clear: he was hoping his partnership with Hearst would lead to lavish criminal endeavors and the chance to kill or crush his enemies, and instead he became just another cog in the mining operation.Frankly, losing the chance to find out what's up with Jack, Claudia and the two mystery women won't be keeping me up at night. Then again, Milch rarely seems interested in going meta, so maybe not. That scene with Jack and Claudia where he lamented an actor's usefulness in the midst of such real-life drama as the camp was facing sure sounded to me like a meta comment on the value (or lack thereof) of these new characters. Why oh why oh why did we spend so much time with Langrishe and his theater company? You could argue that Milch was setting the stage for a lot of more significant theater stuff in year four, but I'm not so sure.(On a side point, Charlie giving Joanie Bill's coat for "you and the other one" answers my question from earlier the season about whether he knew Joanie was a lesbian.) Would Milch have eventually gone back to the history books and had Jane become a whore, possibly to spite Joanie? How would Joanie manage to stay out of the legend of Calamity Jane? Etc.
Where is Joanie and Jane's relationship going? The whole thing was both slow-building and sudden (took Milch forever to inch up to it, and then when he did it was quickly a full-on romance, or the closest thing Jane is capable of), and while they ended the season on a relatively happy note, I think there were interesting roads this could have traveled. So what was left unresolved, and what were the odds Milch was going to deal with them in the mythical season four? In no particular order: That's a fair amount of significant threads tied up, albeit many of them happening in the last 15 minutes or so. So let's see: Hearst is gone, the camp is spared destruction by the Pinkertons, Alma sold her mine so she could stay in camp, and Seth is going to lose his badge thanks to Hearst and Jarry's vote-tampering. 
(I believe the movies will happen the same way I believe Isiah Thomas is building a championship contender at MSG.) More after the jump.

Either way, I'm depressed that one of the best TV shows of my lifetime is over, probably never to return.

When I got done watching the "Deadwood" finale, my initial thought was "good season finale, an absolute joke of a series finale." The more I thought of it, though, the more I realized that maybe there was more closure than Milch intended.
