hell on wheels

[35Rem]

Former slave intended to kill the "white man" anyway. The foreman had nearly killed his friend and work partner earlier that day, or week.

I think I saw some 1866 Winchesters in the last episode, briefly. Seemed a little early, as this is supposed to be 1865 and on the western front. Would be hard to get the "latest and greatest" out there.

Was a little skeptical about it and skipped the first episode. Sorry I did. I came in on the one where the surveyor's widow pulls an arrow from her shoulder and stitches it closed while hiding from the Cheyenne. Have to admit, I've been hooked ever since.

I try not to be to particular with the details, just glad to see something enjoyable to watch on tv. I'm ready for the season finale!

Some of the music is good.

I kinda think it is getting better, or I'm getting sucked in. Please Mr. TV exects. some more Westerns. Anything other than reality shows or talent shows.

love it. thers not alotta shows i make it a point to watch every week, but that is one of em. imo Hell on Wheels and Breaking Bad are the best two since the Sopranos

The "Swede" character is probably more representative of what was required to maintain some control over a motley group of laborers and followers than the ex-reb foreman.

I've been watching it from the beginning and like it....besides, there is nothing else at that time-slot that interests me.

Have to watch it in our household. I grew up with Tony & Joey Gayton. They've done pretty well for a couple of kids from Merritt Island FL.

I have spent years studying old photos and reading old accounts of the early west, and from viewing the first eight episodes I feel the research on guns and gear very close to accurate. But then the 9th episode it all fell apart for me. The 1866 Winchesters were not available yet and the calvary never were issued them. Instead the calvary should have had Sharpes model 1863's or Spencer carbines.
