‘Hell on Wheels’ season 4, episode 11 preview: Air date for Anson Mount, cast’s return
“Hell on Wheels” has spent much of the past two and a half months on the air, so next week the show is doing a very interesting thing: Not airing an all-new episode.
What’s the deal here? For one, know that there are still three episodes left this season. Unlike season 3, there are 13 episodes rather than 10, and plenty of stories left to be told for Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, and the rest of the cast. The next new episode does not even have a title yet, but we know now the official air date: Saturday, November 8.
To be honest, we’re not a huge fan of the hiatus unless the goal is to give everyone behind the scenes enough time to make them perfect. Hiatuses can make things trickier on some viewers. We understand that next weekend is a “Walking Dead” marathon, but what after that? The only other Saturday-night competition that is out there is college football.
As for the story that remains this season, the biggest thread is going to be seeing just what comes next for Ruth after she made the decision to shoot Sydney Snow. He is not necessarily dead, but he is clinging onto life. If he dies, she may still have to pay the consequences for that, regardless of whether or not many in Cheyenne feel she was just with her action. After all, Cullen’s alternative was to simply arrest the Marshall / outlaw, and let him rot out in a prison cell for the rest of his days.

I agree with Mimi, this is not a love story. Jonathan Scarfe ‘s performance is an Emmy worthy guest appearance, and brought an uptick to Anson’s already superior performance . The Southern Comardere and history of Cullen & Sydney is too important to let Snow die at the hands of a depraved guilt ridden killer. Ruth’s character has no where to go, whether he Snow lives or dies. If either man had wanted the other one dead, it would have happened. Cullen only wishes Sydney dead in the heat of anger. Snow foled Bohannon into hell time and again. Cullen is his hero, his brother in arms, a man he would die for. If not for Naomi’s deception at not infiorming Cullen that Sydney had un-cocked and was lowering his gun , is a pattern of her foolish and self-centered conduct. Just like Bohannon, Snow deserves a second chance if he feels remorse. Cullen has been given more one chance in his struggle between good and evil , killing and not killing. The road ahead is filled with outlaws that will make Snow look tame. Scarfe’s performance from the beginning is legendary stuff.

One of the most interesting parts of “Hell On Wheels” is the wide array of characters who actually built the Rail Road. After the bloody war you have all these diverse groups gathering together with one central focus… build the R/R on the surface… underneath they are trying to find a place for themselves in this new country. The businessmen, Freedmen, Irish, union and confederate soldiers all working together for the first time. Each group with their own reputations and resentments. What a cauldron of emotions and hell fire. I would like to see the program continue along the same lines by making sure all groups are represented and the historical aspect is not lost. No sugar coating… it isn’t a love story… More Bohannon, Anson Mount has done an amazing job and holds a magnetism for viewers of all ages. There’s just something about him that is captivating and believable.
