Last night on AMC's Hell on Wheels, "Church Lady" Ruth was hanged for shooting/killing the psychopath who burned her adopted son alive (and murdered a zillion more people). Ruth was a very young, sweet woman who provided what little spiritual order existed in the traveling Union Pacific railroad construction town called "Hell on Wheels."

We don't watch much fictional television, but Mrs. Scoutmaster and I don't miss Hell on Wheels.

I became a TWD fan after the show started because of a family connection. I've watched HOW from the first second of the first scene.

Think of The Grove, but more depressing and emotional.

With that, let's move on to tonight's The Walking Dead.

HoW is one of my favorites, too.

They are shooting one last ‘season’ that will be broadcast in 2015 and 2016, IIRC.

Netflix is in negotiation to possibly continue A&E’s cancelled Longmire.

That episode of Hell on Wheels was one of the most powerful hours of television I’ve ever seen. The sense of dread just built and built through her last night. I’m glad they didn’t go the route of having her reject her faith because of her loss. We’re used to characters like that being rescued at the last minute, so it took some guts on the part of the writers to have it happen.
