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.
The writing for Ruth and Kasha Kropinski's acting were spectacular. Kropinski showed every shade of dread and every stone of faith.
One thing that struck me was that the scene of the townspeople waiting vigil was believeable. How do you develop a character over four years so that such a scene becomes believable?
HoW this season is the don’t miss show. I was riveted to the episode. Ruth(Kasha Kropinski) deserves every award given for acting.
