Cullen found himself in peril on the latest episode of Hell on Wheels.

Here’s Kendall’s review…

ThisHell on Wheelsreview contains some spoilers.

The new and previous cast members onHell on Wheelsarent always who and what they seem to the naked eye.

The situations, too, dont readily reveal their importance during a first viewing.

Im fond of Ah Fong, an intelligent and resourceful ally to Cullen if he allows it.

Fongs mechanical ingenuity elicits a You think youre smart, huh?

There can be several solutions to a single problem.

Bohannons accustomed to elbow grease and brute force, whereas Fong calls upon computations and angles.

Mei Mei began in what we soon realize is a flash-forward to a later point in the episode.

Cullen and Ah Fong tumble down a snowy mountain similar to an out of control wagon wheel.

Strobridge and the nameless Chinese workers look on from a safe distance, never venturing to help.

There are no trees, bushes or random livestock to break their fall.

Viewers roll alongside and just above them due to the great camerawork.

We lie on our backs, too, feeling the great expanse of the open air.

There are few people Id want to rescue me if I found myself in danger.

Id even stomach being chastised for perhaps not following Bohannons Law of the Land.

The quiet of the mountaintop was soon replaced by howling winds and swirling snow.

If one must perish, why not do so in such a serene setting?

Bohannons a complex character, however his raison detre is to fill void in his own soul.

Naomi and William are currently lost to him.

Cullen would be better off lowering his protective walls and allowing others access.

The fireside tea and whiskey bonding with Fong is a step in the right direction.

Cullen will always have unresolved issues.
