O.K. , I get it that the story is fiction , and one has to suspend reality for the story line in a lot of Westerns , but this one is just getting tedious. If the construction on the railroad had gone at the pace of HOW , it wouldn't be finished yet.

And nowhere in the frontier west would the Preacher Lady have been tried for murder of a scum like Sidney. And if we back up a few episodes to the mountain that Bohannan has to cross , just out of Cheyenne !!!! , Dear Hearts , I have been down I-80 many times , and the railroad is within sight quite a bit of the time. I don't remember that mountain range , maybe it eroded down since 1869.

Don't get me wrong , I will continue watching , but the story-line could stand improvement. And faster pace.

I do hope it gets renewed for next season , to see if they ever finished to Promitory Point , Utah , like my history books said. :lol: Rex :D

Negative waves Moriarty. Always with the negative waves.

At least they pulled a round ball out of Sid, not a 45 FMJ. :D :D

 

I was somewhat concerned when Durant pulled tha ball out. He had no metal bowl for it to go "Clink".

Everybody knows the bullet pulling operation isn't complete until you hear the "Clink".

I watched in horror. NO DURANT! DON'T DROP IT ON THE FLOOR!

Then he told Eva to get a pan. "Clink"

All was right with the world then. I poured another bourbon.

 

Hel on Wheels has been renewed for a final season next year.

Will the railroad get finished? Will somebody else take over? Will the Swede screw everything up? Stay tuned. (if you still get AMC) :huh:

I was not expecting cutting his leg off and so much to be shown. Even if it was after kids time to go to bed. It lent quite a bit if reality to it. It is time to move the carpet baggers out and be done with them. I saw it as Sidney committing suicide by loosening the tourniquet and loosing his own blood on purpose. I also presume laws were different then, Still think the Preacher Lady had every right to do what she did.

The land around Cheyenne appears to be lush, with lakes, waterways, and lots of trees. Where was that frozen lake the train crashed through, I'd like to go fishing there. Sherman Hill is just a hill, not quite the rugged mountains, although it is high in elevation, 8000 feet +/-. If my 100 acres were that lush I would be rich. Good show, just wish they would have filmed it in Wyoming, we do have plenty of room. Probably have to shut down when the C-130's are flying over. The city of Cheyenne owns a huge ranch behind my house, thousands of acres, one would think they would build an old town for the purpose of producing period films.

That's because the mountain in question is west of Calgary, Alberta. :lol:

Two episodes remaining! Previews suggest a corker of an ending for the season.

Not enough money in it. Most film companies go to Canada to save money.

With the Canadian Down around down around .87 cents it makes it attractive to film here. Calgary is starting construction of two large studios in addition to what is already here.

"I do hope it gets renewed for next season , to see if they ever finished to Promitory Point , Utah , like my history books said. :lol: Rex :D"

 

They never get to Promontory Point. The two railroads (UPRR and CPRR) reached Promontory SUMMIT on May 10th, 1869. Cecil B. DeMille made the mistake of calling it Promontory POINT in a film, and the error has been repeated ever since.

 

BTW, some producers from Hell on Wheels were at the California State railroad Museum (where I work) to look into doing some research and consulting with some of our historians. Apparently the CPRR is going to play a role in the show's last season. Can't wait!!

I work in Interpretive Services, (or Visitor Services). I am part of the docent training team (we have over 500 active docents), I create and run Interpretive Programs for school groups, I work special events like Gold Rush Days, I train docent tour guides, and I also sometimes oversee museum operations. This is a GREAT PLACE TO WORK.

Sounds like it!! Good for you! ;)

Tonights program was thoughtful, and thought provoking, I particulary liked the hangman's gold cross tie stickpin.

Posted

The hangman's little son or grandson was a little bit creepy!! :wacko: Great show, next week is the finale!!

This year's Hell on Wheels is MY last. It got so tedious I could not watch the rest of it of the "Will they hang her? episode." As they say in show biz, "it's jumped the Shark."

 

And why the eyeball rip out the week before?

The shot of her (the Preacher Lady "Ruth") looking through the black head bag and being able to see before the trap fell was a bit taxing. You knew the trap would trip and she would swing, just enough suspension to hold you. It appears the RR Law is going to quit and head back to the Mormon Fort to his family. Whe4re I think the Swede will be waiting, at which time he finally kills him. Time will tell, that is what I am hoping for. Excellent series, I really want them to wrap it up and have a great series.

The bag over the head scene was pretty intense, I caught myself tensing up waiting to drop

The show is really following the the Hollywood mold of "Evil Triumphs Over Good".

 

Next season will probably be about the railroads really being built by lesbian Muslims.

The last episode was a very tedious. I hope the season finale is better than that one.
