Anybody catch the season premier? I have it dvr-ed.

8/14/2012 12:38:56 PM

yes. it was yawn inducing

8/14/2012 1:28:04 PM

8/14/2012 2:22:04 PM

^^

8/14/2012 3:01:05 PM

I agree about the yawning, but it has potential to improve.

8/14/2012 4:15:30 PM

they were just wrapping up loose ends from last season. i.e. how bohanon will get intertwined with the durant crew again and what happened with common and his girl, etc...

unfortunately, they did so in such a rushed way that there were glaring plot holes and suggests the overall season may also suffer from such rushed writing.

8/14/2012 5:06:18 PM

yeah i'm looking for a good explanation for why bohanon would rob the wages from that train when he knows exactly where/who they're meant to go to.

8/14/2012 5:08:45 PM

y athe jump from renegade justice seeker to train robber was pretty out of character, see ho wthe next few weeks play out

8/20/2012 11:58:47 AM

Was the first season any good? I meant to watch it but never got around to it.

8/20/2012 1:16:59 PM

I feel it's been a pretty ok couple of episodes. Now that Bohanan is back I think things will really start to kick into gear

8/20/2012 9:31:24 PM

thats what I'm hoping, even though it was a fairly contrived return

8/20/2012 10:25:19 PM

The acting and set and everything for this show is so good. But one scene just transpired that made me realize why I'm not feeling it: the dialogue.

It feels like it's written for the stage, not TV...very dramatic, cliched dialogue. And every line is dripping with tension. It just seems very unnatural, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it definitely takes some getting used to.

"I'm scared, Mickey! That business with Penny has all the girls spooked."

(At its worst, it seems like a spoof.)

8/26/2012 9:22:22 PM

lots of potential but i'm close to stopping the dvr from recording this.

the dialogue is just terrible, and the writing overall is pretty poor. toole surviving a point blank gunshot to the face? lily sleeping with durant? eva marrying toole? durant using a favor to get bohannan pardoned b/c he is somehow the only person capable of shooting indians? so much stuff that just doesn't jive.


a&e is the poor man's fx.

8/26/2012 10:18:08 PM

I haven't watched tonight's yet, but I'm just not a fan of the direction they have taken the main character (whatever his name is)... He is almost beyond redemption in my eyes, which makes for a poor protagonist.

8/26/2012 10:37:53 PM

yeah, he's the only one on the show pulling his weight and the direction they're taking him is bogus.

8/27/2012 6:10:57 PM

All the characters are morally "grey." Just because Bohannan is the lead doesn't mean he's exempt from that, especially since at this point it doesn't seem like he's out for redemption of any kind. I still dig this show, admittedly I'm a huge sucker for Westerns anyway. The dialogue is a little heavy-handed though, I'll give you that.

8/28/2012 9:14:15 AM

Yeah the Christian girl who won't marry the indian is really pissing me off at the moment. She rather marry a white murderer than an indian Christian with whom she is sleeping.

At this point, are there any characters without blood on their hands?

good thing this show is on AMC then

8/28/2012 9:47:36 AM

yes, that's what i meant but didn't see the error in time to edit.

8/28/2012 10:28:44 AM

watched this weeks episode last night and loved it. albeit I had done a bit of birthday drinking beforehand but I definitely felt it redeemed the so so start of this season

8/29/2012 12:45:39 PM

i haven't watched yet. i will make sure to watch this afternoon.

8/29/2012 1:45:42 PM

last night's episode wasn't turrible, maybe this is where the series picks up again?

9/3/2012 11:52:02 AM

The Swede is up to no good.

I'll see how this season finishes, but right now I'm leaning toward not watching the 3rd season (if there is one). The show is just lacking in so many different areas.

9/11/2012 11:39:13 AM

I dunno, I really liked the last episode. Looks like things will be picking up for the back 1/2 of the season

9/11/2012 2:04:11 PM

Any thoughts, don't really know what I think yet. The end was interesting...

10/9/2012 2:22:06 AM

I enjoyed the whole season, watching the Swede at work was pretty badass.

Definitely the kind of ending that ties up the series if it doesn't get renewed, but I'd love to see more

10/9/2012 7:23:00 AM

I did not expect to see lily getting strangled by the Swede in the end but I thought it was a great episode and great finale

10/9/2012 9:55:32 AM

yeah that actually made me

They definitely did that episode so that it would be a series finale if need be but also if the show comes back it allows them to write whomever they want off. the town has been destroyed a lot of people's homes and jobs are gone. Not only does the town get a new start but so does the show, if it is renewed.

So what was the meaning with the stake in the ground with the red flag I didn't quite pick that one up. Also, I take it that Bohanon accepted the role he was offered?

10/9/2012 10:12:21 AM

I kind of assumed that it would be where the new stop/town would go in place rather than build the over the old spot. Also, implying that Bohannon accepted the job and is looking to make a new start.

Also...I'm assuming the swede died from that fall...but I suppose there's room for interpretation there.

10/9/2012 11:12:31 AM

Nobody else finds it odd/stupid? that Swede goes from "he won't last the night" to waltzing through the burning town in a day?

10/9/2012 12:00:13 PM

nope. i took his sickness to be exaggerated from the moment he showed up.

i, for one, do not believe he is dead, though.

Mr. Toole killing himself sucked too.

There were several characters they should have gotten rid of but not those two.

10/9/2012 2:08:14 PM

yea like the whore with the blowjob tattoo, I dont know why, but I really dont like her character.

10/9/2012 4:03:08 PM

is the finale worth watching? I stopped watching two episodes ago but may finish the season if the end is worth it

10/9/2012 4:54:13 PM

^ I wouldn't go through a lot of trouble to catch them but if you can they're pretty good.

10/11/2012 12:07:44 AM

Go ahead and finish it off, if you have it DVRd just watch them over time. The finale is pretty cool, especially the formatting of it

10/11/2012 7:11:42 AM

renewed for Season 3

10/29/2012 3:57:48 PM

sweet

10/29/2012 4:04:57 PM

it's a damn shame that what's his face's new girlfriend got kilt. semi-unrelated... you could definitely see areola a few episodes back [/13 year old boy]

10/29/2012 7:05:28 PM

^^^ Awesome. Bohannan leading the railroad = win.

10/30/2012 7:15:50 AM

End of season 2 was definitely the best couple episode stretch in the series. Wish they'd killed off a few other characters other thant the ones that they did though.
