Why no love for hell on wheels this season
Can't seem to find the thread anywhere been searching for two days anybody got a link .? |
|
I watched season 1 when it first aired, then lost interest. Picked it back up from the beginning the other day, and I'm midway thru season 3. I'm really digging it this time around.
|
|
I had never heard of it until a few months ago. My GF and I are watching from the beginning on Netflix. That Swede is one creepy fucker.
|
|
I hope someone finally face shoots that swede fuck, repeatedly. Kinda pretty pissed about the breaking season into two years thing though.
|
|
Hell on wheels and strange empire a good Sunday morning show both
have a woman pretending to be a man I wonder if they have the same writers |
|
Once they killed off Lilly early on, I was pretty much done with that show. I tried watching it some in the following seasons, but lost interest rapidly.
|
|
The Swede touching the guy's toe with frostbite was pretty cool when it fell off and just covered it up
|
|
loving this season so far...
**ETA*** Should we make an official thread or just keep rocking out in this one? |
|
I gave up on the season premiere when they changed actresses playing the girl greasy hair knocked up. Shark jump.

I think that was a "being able to act" change as she had a lot of screen time that season. the other girl didn't appear to be able to act that well. |

Haven't seen any this season but just watched the first four. I'm really wanting a Griswold
|
|
This is a great show. Fun one to sit and watch with a 1911 nearby.
On a side note, my least favorite employee is a spitting image of The Swede from his creepy smile to his psychopathic tendencies right down to his fake religion (I'm only in season 3). Great show. Gonna grab a beer and fire up the next episode! |
|
I have enjoyed the four seasons on Netflix. Can't wait for the next one. I really enjoy the show, but wow, they are way off base on the Mormons, oh well.

Been following it on netflix since season 1.
Wont watch the last season until it hits netflix |

|
I'm really enjoying it.
I keep telling everyone who is interested in watching it that Bohannon is the best male role model on TV. I don't know if that was intentional on the part of the writers, but he is the personification of integrity. He does his duty without fail. It's been interesting watching him morph over the seasons from being just a killer to a man of honor. |

I'll watch it to the end on AMC, then I'll either download every season, or pick up the DVDs. Probably both, actually. Love the show.

And to make it easier...Link to specific pistol: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Black-Powder/Black-Powder-Revolvers%7C/pc/104792580/c/104701680/sc/567338580/Pietta-Griswold-and-Gunnison-36-Caliber-Revolver/1167468.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fblack-powder-revolvers%2F_%2FN-1115136%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_567338580%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%3B%2520LNcat104442480%26avad%3D55963_a93d9972%26WT.mc_id%3Dal41227%26Subid1%3DSID%26subacctid%3D41227%26subacctname%3D41227%26adname%3DCustom%2BLink%26adtype%3Dcl%26adid%3DNA%26rid%3D12%26WT.tsrc%3DAFF ETA: There are also several brass framed 1851 revolvers listed in .44 caliber but they are not "correct". There were never any real 1851's made in .44 caliber, those are a modern creation. The link I listed has the "correct" one 1851 colt, round barrel, brass frame, smooth cylinder (no engraving), and .36 caliber. Close to a correct Griswold (although the real ones had cylinders made of wrought iron I believe, but those wouldn't be safe to fire anyway). With some weathering techniques out there on the internet I'm sure you could make one nice authentic looking pistol. Just be sure to use light black powder loads as brass frames can't hold up well to full power blackpowder or pyrodex loads. ETA 2: As an aside, the show "Hell on wheels" uses a "made up" Grisworld. Not even a Grisworld at all. They use an 1860 army in .44 with a brass frame. There is a behind the scenes floating around out there of the firearms "expert" who works on the film talking about it saying the couldn't locate an 1851 navy with a brass frame and had to use the other. Also said they liked the .44 because it made more smoke. Apparently he is either stupid, doesn't know how to use the internet, or has never heard of cabelas or sportsmans warehouse. Cause they are easy to find and could be found at those places well before this show existed. Hollywood sucks when it comes to guns. I still watch because I like the grittiness of the show. And its a cool modern western. Not many of those on TV. |

^^^^^^^ THANKS!
I will be the proud owner of a "Griswold" in the near future. |
|
Bohannon should have killed the Swede the second he laid eyes on him.
That's one reason I'm not into it this season. |
|
|
Meh, got boring, AMC waited too fucking long to bring it back. Same stupid shit that killed Vikings for me.
And the death of the black guy was just fucking stupid. Also, the Swede character is getting a little ridiculous - he is apparently indestructible and immortal. Maybe a Highlander awaiting fer da Reckoning? You betcha! |
|
Bohannen hasn't fucked anyone up or fucked anyone yet this season. Get busy dude!
|
|
I'm still enjoying it. The Swede and Bohannon is still looking for his family.
|
|
What the fuck?! When "Hell on Wheels" returns in 2016?! I thought this was to be the last season?...
|
|
I've really enjoyed the series, look forward to every new season.
|
|
Didn't like it in the first place. I may try again if I get bored.
|
|
I enjoyed watching it up until this season. Now it's just dragging along.

I've always enjoyed the show. The ten episode seasons are annoying. Waiting about 9 months for it to come back makes it so I have to force myself to watch it again.
Splitting the final season into two 7 episode seasons, a year apart, is just fucking aggravating. |

I'd like to know what has happened to Bohannon's wife and child. That would have been much more interesting than the Chinese girl pretending to be a boy. |

View Quote Can't make a show about the construction of America's first transcontinental railway without there being a storyline for Chinese laborers. Not saying it was a great storyline but it got the job done for me at least. As far as Bohannon's wife, did you watch the last five minutes of this weekend's episode? |

I watch it because nothing else is on. I really want to like it, but the writing is so fucking inaccurate and bad that it really ruins it for me. Bohannon started out such a bad ass, he has really turned into a pussy of sorts.
|
|
I'm still watching it and I still enjoy it. I just don't ever participate in the show threads on the net because I'm a DVR guy and I can get behind.
There is absolutely nothing on TV this time of year though so I've been on Hell on Wheels near real-time. |

First and second season Bohanan would have shot him when he first laid eyes on him after the killing of his love interest in season 1 or 2. Bohanan only took up with the railroad to track down a few soldiers he blamed for killing his family. Went so far as to murder that one guy who really didn't do it off some bad intel. Soon as he saw Swede, season ine Bohanon would have plugged him, then skipped off into the sunset.. |
