Hell on Wheels: The Elusive Eden

August 4, 2014 10:10 AM - Season 4, Episode 1

Cullen awaits the birth of his baby, laboring under The Swede's thumb at Fort Smith. Durant deals with the fallout from a railroad accident.

New season, new characters, new frontiers.

Durant is still incompetent. Elam is still dead. Bohannon is still at Fort Smith (but for how long?) having a beard-off with the still-incognito Swede (who is still Norwegian). Mickey and Durant are still in cahoots.

The new Mrs. Bohannon is played by a new (and older-looking) actress, Cheyenne gets a new casino and newspaper, Mrs. Palmer and Durant are less friendly, and General Grant is back to drinking in public.

I'm enjoying HOW, trying to keep up and simultaneously rewatch the whole thing. I'm going to miss Elam and hope they can just miraculously resurrect him in the time-honored way--don't even need a new gimmick. The Swede is more terrifying than ever.
