This ain’t your mother’s Wyatt Earp.

Kurt Russell’s or Kevin Costner’s either.

The famed lawman finally rolled into the HBO town of “Deadwood” on Sunday night much shiftier and far more conniving than any of his silver screen incarnations.

Most folks know Earp as the ferocious-yet-honorable sheriff of Arizona’s beloved Tombstone, the town to tough to die.

But in Deadwood he and his brother Morgan are nothing more than scam artists, former lawmen with a chance to run the local timber business but leaning more toward disposing
Bullock for Cy Tolliver and big man, George Hearst.

As it turns out, Hearst doesn’t need such help what with a gaggle of his own henchmen sweeping into town, but the Earps would have been ready and willing.

The sibling duo went through several altercations with Bullock during Sunday’s episode and a gunfight might still be in the works for the three.

My prediction: Swearengen will pay top dollar to the Earp brothers and the two will team up with Bullock to help take out the Hearst crew.

Of course, this is television’s “Deadwood” not the movie “Tombstone” which means the Earps will most likely spend the rest of the season battling their own insecurities and chattering like a Shakespeare sonnet.

On a side note: Three cheers for the horse that clocked Steve the drunk in the head. He seriously needed to be put out of his misery.

“Deadwood” airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on HBO West.
