Hell On Wheels

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

Anyone here watched the Hell On Wheels series?

I'm almost through with season one and there are five seasons, total.

I like it, Sarah does not, so I watch an episode or three after she goes to bed.

My wife and I watched it, when it originally came on...and really liked it. It's probably PG + rated...not particularly for family hour.

Is that the 'I've been working on the railroad' series? If so, Bride and I watched every episode and enjoyed it very much.

I watched it real time and it was excellent, so much that I hated to see it end. Historically accurate for the most part but some mythical characters were added for entertainment value. I was a big fan of the Bohannon/Swede rivalry. ::tu:: ::tu::

I preferred the "Fair-haired Maiden of the West" myself. *no spoilers*

Yes, Ms. Lilly Bell is easy on the eyes.

I’m into season three.

I think The Swede is back.

Don't want to be too much of a spoiler...but I was hoping for another season...where he takes off, trying to find the girl.

Finished up the series. I really like the lead actor and the character he played.

Had I been the writer/director, however, when they took Gunderson down from the gallows and the Army Officer pronounced him dead, Bohannon would have drawn his revolver and shot him twice, in the head.

Just sayin’

Understood.

Which particular town are you referring to?

When I was a boy, I had a "HELL ON WHEELS" patch sewn on my jacket. Don't remember why. My Dad and most uncles were Navy veterans, not a tankers.
