They tried to cancel it, but Colm Meaney cut their balls off.

SoCalSurfer: Thought it had a lot of potential but I stopped watching after 3 episodes

I think I've watched 3 or 4 too... not that it is "bad", but, it hasn't grabbed me enough like Breaking Bad that I really "need" to watch more episodes. If I get bored I might watch some more on the DVR.

The last episode was pretty good. They actually had action and wrapped up several of the less compelling plotlines. I'm still not sure exactly where they're going with it though.

I'm paraphrasing from somewhere (Slashfilm, maybe?) but the best parts of Breaking Bad come from telling small stories - a high school chemistry teacher gets cancer; meanwhile, Hell on Wheels is trying to tell a giganto-story about American manifest destiny, racial tensions with Indians, reconstruction after slavery, etc. The only thing Hell on Wheels should be about is Bohannon's quest for revenge. The last few episodes seem like he's forgotten all about his dead wife.

That said, I am enjoying it. Colm Meaney is awsomely evil, and Bohannon is like a dirty, scruffy hero. I'm not giving up on it just yet.

Bukharin: I like the tension in HoW.
None of the characters particularly like each other, but are chained by their motives.
Guy A cant kill guy B because A needs something from guy C. And guy C needs B alive... etc.

I'm curious how the dominos will fall.

I dig it... I like the characters and how they're developing.

Definitely curious to see how it'll play out.

I have enjoyed it so far, but it needs to pick up the pace.

this. It's a good show, with the potential to be great.

Meh. he does baddie very nice, but Chief O'Brien is no IAN FARKING MCSHANE.

/let me know when one of the whores does voiceovers for Robot Chicken

I suspect it will be like most shows on AMC and tear through the last few episodes like a runaway locomotive.

Fixed point.

Never heard of it. Is it about Hell and/or wheels?

Awesome news. Superb performances from one and all,especially the luscious English lass and Christopher "The Swede" Heyerdahl-the latter deserving far better than the snore-fest Sanctuary.

from all appearances,she'll be worth it.

crazy...like a fox: Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Marathon Sunday.

Thanks for the reminder.

/need something new to view now that Boardwalk E. and Breaking Bad are on break.

Iggie: Here's her real-life counterpart, for anyone who might be curious: Link (new window)

Well that was interesting. Thank you.

Captain Oates: I also somewhat lost interest after about the 3rd episode due to the slow pace. I gave it another shot and got caught up a few days ago and it's worth it; the last episode was intense. Also for anyone wondering where it is going you can look up the history of the Union Pacific railroad because thus far it appears to be accurately portraying the true events while fictionalizing the social dynamics (much like Deadwood).

My step-dad works at UP and he said they were more or less told by corporate that they didn't feel the company was well portrayed in the series. They weren't told not to watch it, corporate just basically insulted the series
