Hell on Wheels

Okay then, how much time has to pass before people can discuss what happened in an episode then?

Guess we should be using spoiler tags when we talk about the Cammy trade, someone may not have seen the news yet.

Spoiler!

Challenge Accepted! /sarcasm for your ridiculous post.

Ah, the good ol' internet forum debate about posting TV show spoilers.

How long are we supposed to wait for people to watch the episode? It's been nearly a week since the episode aired. Is it OK to talk about it now?

Isn't it easier to ask the people who don't want to be spoiled to wait until they have seen all the episodes before visiting the thread? It's a thread dedicated to talking about the a specific show. You should expect people to talk about what's going on in the show.

The entire thread will be spoiler tags after each episode and I doubt anyone will go back to remove the tags after the designated spoiler-free time has elapsed.

The fact that you try to argue this point is ridiculous and completely selfish.

I think it's selfish to ask everyone else to tip-toe around those few people who don't keep up with the show but still want to discuss it. Why should we wait for everyone else to catch up to discuss a show in a thread dedicated to discussing the show?

If you don't want any spoilers, don't come into this thread. After the finale on Sunday, I fully intend to come into this thread and discuss what I thought of the episode. I will not be using spoiler tags. End of story.

I can't be the only one who was glad to see Lily Bell stick around a couple weeks ago?

And I won't be able to watch it until Monday so I will be avoiding this thread.

[To Be Quite Honest]

Lazy.

[DuffMan]

I don't go into this thread or Walking Dead or Boardwalk Empire or True Blood threads unless I am completely caught up on what is going on, and willing to discuss it. I don't go in looking for spoiler tags and hoping to talk about last weeks episode. that's just

Spoiler!

Be interesting to see how they keep the story going with the main characters heading off in different directions like that.

Also, wouldn't the Swede be in a lot worse shape than that?

Ya, I think that was a rather hastily edited and thrown together ending? I guess they really didn't know if they were going to be picked up for another season though and maybe thats why it seemed that way?

Overall it was still such a good episode and just leaves a lot of questions. I suppose that is what the finale is supposed to do though, to keep people waiting for the next season.

I thought a similar issue with the Swede, but maybe the point was to humiliate him and he could still return next season but with a nicer persona somehow?

As for Cullen I have no idea what happens there. He needs to be with Hell on Wheels in some capacity, but I guess he's running from the law now. Could he pay the bounty? Could Lily pay it for him (or someone else)? I have no idea how that would've actually worked back then.

I think you nailed it there, worst case scenario that wouldn't be a terrible ending if they were cancelled.

I assume the Swede will still be a regular character, at least I hope so. That guy is a great actor, he made the character so unlikeable that I felt no sympathy for him at all. I just thought at the end that he would be a lot more disfigured.

Don't think anyone could just pay off a bounty so who knows what will happen with Cullen. I'm guessing he'll be looking for the real Sargent and will be living as an outlaw?

The only way I can see him coming back to the rail project is if Durant uses his political connections to get a pardon for Cullen. Maybe Lily will play a part in that?

Interestingly enough I just met one of the set builders for Hell on Wheels. Hes one of my tax clients and he gave me some info on the second season that they're working on now.

He built the train, so he was making jokes that while some other people built the railroad, he built the train.

[Yeah_Baby]

Is said info under taxman/clientele privledge like the particulars of his tax return or no?

He did tell me that he wasnt supposed to tell me, but I dont know how 'tremendously earthbreaking' this information is.

He did say he would try and secure me a prop from the set. I asked for Cullen's gun, but felt I might be reaching for the stars on that one.

[Yeah_Baby]

Probably easier to get a hold of one of Colm Meaney's chins.

Season 2 premier this evening. Should be interesting to see how they tie things together.

[Delthefunky]

I was an extra the first 5 episodes. Really really fun, and I can't wait to see the final cut!

[Coys1882]

Three guys from my office have been steady extras for this show so I'm going to start watching it to see them - will I enjoy it?
