Folks:
I watched the final, series ending episode of one of my favorite TV shows this evening, Hell on Wheels.
I've spent the last six years thoroughly enjoying watching this talented group of actors, writers, lensman, directors, etc. build the Transcontinental railroad across the western half of the U.S. - all the while filmed in Canada.
I'm a sucker for well done Westerns and this one hit it out of the park for me. I'm still sad to see them go. But they punched out after one of their very best seasons and that's a fine way to cap a bottle.
BTW, I've always enjoyed Colm Meaney's acting, (He always plays one of those, "You know, that guy!" characters.) and watching him chew up his role as Thomas Durant was an over the top display of his talents.
Here's his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000538/?ref_=tt_cl_t2 Recognize him now?
Cheers,
Fnord
