Synopsis:



Episode 6 of 10

Enjoying this show. Not sure of the ultimate direction. Will Bohannon find his target? Is this a one-shot series with a conclusion or will it turn into Burn Notice on the prairie with a new puppet master each season?
Will the train ever get to California? Will racism be wiped out?
Whatever happens, I am liking this show.

I know a new episode airs tonight, but I had a 5 hour marathon tonight and watched episodes 2-6 all in 1 sitting. Really enjoyed it. Every episode moved really fast and I'm liking the Bohannon character. Durant is a little over the top, but he's an interesting villain. Was really surprised in this episode after the Illinois Senator threatended to expose Durant, that he didn't do anything about it.

Overall, I think this is a really well done Western. I like how they have made the town Hell on Wheels such a little shit hole. The thing I'm curious about is how long they are going to stretch Bohannon's quest to find the Sargent? Being that is the main arc of the show. Seems like all the people involved in his wife's murder are already dead. I know they have some other subplots like the conflict with the Indians and Durant's corrupt railroad operation.

:As for the end of this episode, Elam should have known better than to seek a quickie from the whore with the tension going around town after the Indians left.

If you all still have every episode or multiple episodes sitting in your DVR due to how busy Sundays have been, I think this is a good time for you to get caught up. I would definitely keep watching. After finally dedicating the time to get caught up, I'm alot more motivated to finish the season.
