/dev/null Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I saw a couple commercials for this during Breaking Bad. Anybody seen it? Is it worth catching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegtapr Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Great show, but you need to watch season 1 first. I think the Swed is one of the best characters on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Honestly, it's a great idea, however, the execution in S1 was somewhat lacking. At times, I was QUITE bored with it, and other than Bohannon, Elam, and the Swede, the characters are uninteresting and bland. I will watch S2, but they really need to pick it up if they are going to survive to S3. I will also add that the production is top notch, I am just not sure where the story is going. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it just tends to be a bit dull to me so far... Edited August 13, 2012 by TheMadCap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the show while I'm watching it, but I don't find myself really looking forward to the next episode like "Breaking Bad", "Mad Men", etc. Maybe the Irish brothers will shake things up a bit?

/dev/null Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Added Season 1 to my Instant Queue and watched the first few episodes. Worth finishing the season at least Chief O'Brien has an interesting character thus far and Todd the Wraithe is kind of creepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to be the comedic element in S1, I cannot buy them being inforcers as they were being set up as in the premire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I saw a couple commercials for this during Breaking Bad. Anybody seen it? Is it worth catching? Wow is all I can say. Thanks for the tip, never heard of it till I saw this thread. I checked it it out and got so fascinated I ran non stop to S1 E5 [the boxing match in E5 had me on the edge of my seat.] How anyone could not like it is beyond me. Sure no wasted time with a weepy Skyler in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Okay, off to watch the last couple episodes of Season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Finished Season 1. Definitely worth watching Season 2. Started watching S2E1 online but a 28" monitor ain't the same as a 55" TV so I'll wait til AMC runs it again and DVR it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Well got caught up to S2 E1. One thing puzzles me. In that episode we see Bohannon shot point blank in the face during the train robbery. Then we see him unhurt in a wagon going to jail. What am I missing here?

Next scene the doc was tending to the guy that got shot and died My guess is Durant bails Bohannon out, the Reverend scalps Injun Joe for banging his daughter, and Elam goes Blazing Saddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they get captured anyway? Seems like pieces are missing from my internet version. I go from what looks like Bohannon bring shot directly to Durant with the fair haired lady from the west looking at the prairie, then the wagon with bars Bohannon is in.

I thought he got shot too at first (then it went to commercial, which I FF'd thru). I'm guessing he got pistol whipped or something that knocked him unconscious and he got caught after the Alabama boys left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kidding me." Then he reappears unscratched. Not sure Durant can bail him out. Those pesky US marshals seem to have a interest in him.

Should have been done better Not sure Durant can bail him out. Those pesky US marshals seem to have a interest in him. Durant has that Senator by the short and curlies. I'm sure he has other connection$ in Wa$hington too. He'll call in a favor, grease the right palms, has the dirt on somebody, or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not he [the actor] on star trek? He sure looks familiar. Edited August 19, 2012 by Jim in Anchorage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out one of my earlier posts in this thread: Chief O'Brien has an interesting character thus far and Todd the Wraithe is kind of creepy "Todd the Wraithe" is a reference to a Stargate: Atlantis character played by The Swede. I love that over the top accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
