Hell on Wheels -- "Slaughterhouse" -- 8/26/12

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Cullen struggles to maintain order while Mickey's and Sean's lives are endangered; Lily and Elam clean up a mess of their own doing.


Episode 3 of 10


Apparently this is being hurt by the Dish Network blackout. Viewership is down from last year.

Hmmm, no love for HoW. I gotta admit I didn't catch last night's episode yet but the first two started slow for me. I wish the writers would have explained how Elam and Bohanon parted ways - at the very least.

I think that answer will come... Elam is being a bit of an ass - though I understand what they are trying to do.

Last nights episode picked up the pace quite a bit.

yeah, best episode of the season.... although I wish the Ed Harris clone kicked around for at least a few episodes.

Truly enjoyed this weeks episode.

Could not believe Durant's reaction to Lilly. I thought he was a bit more evolved. Well, I guess that was the general consensus/opinion concerning the "whores"!

Really did not understand the reaction of the McGinnes brothers to the German. They should not have attacked him since he was leaving. Bohannon should have informed the brothers unless that was his ultimate goal.

Great episode.

I still don't buy Durant saving Bohannon for no good reason like he did. I bet we are going to see some sort of deal revealed as the season goes on, maybe Lilly struck some bargain with Durant for Bohannon's life? That might explain why they've hooked up and are working so closely together.

Yeah, no kidding. It sure looked like he was packing up to leave. Also, while it may not have worked, it wouldn't have hurt to have Bohannan tell him it was just the guy acting tough and he didn't actually do it. I don't know--it just felt unnecessary and a bit misplaced.

Other than that I liked the ep. The show's got such a great gritty feel.

My sense is that the brothers are basically fuck ups, and this is just another example of them being fuck ups (though, it is likely going to change them to darker characters). Also, just because the German was leaving (not that it seemed they knew), didn't mean he wouldn't come back.
