I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought It was a revenge story to revenge his family. The Swede has been there far too long. Are the writers that dumb that they can’t create another villain and they must keep the same one for every season???? Elam coming back as a one eyed monster is the most terrible thing to happen to this series. Im done!

HellOnWheels started as a revenge western then went sideways and then backwards with the Swede apparently dropping acid (which didn’t exist) killing people like Lilly. His character is great but to prevent the ongoing theater of the absurd, they shouldn’t have brought him back. The writers are clearly on acid. Let’s have the actual Brigham Young enlist the evil Swede to sabatoge the railroad! Why not? Let’s all take acid! The absurd peyote western where we make up it as we go like none other! The more asinine, the more absurd, the worse the hellhole that is Hell on Wheels.
