In memory of the first 2 seasons

Well actually make that in memory up until the last ten minutes of the season 2 finale when the schizophrenia set in permanently, what a weak beyond boring series finale and now Bohannon the player is off to China lol

Remember how good the first two seasons were, when it was strictly about the railroad and the grim lives of the people trying to build it intertwined with Bohannon seeking revenge for his family's murder? We had Durant at his scheming best, the menacing Swede before he became a cartoon character, the beautiful and ambitious Lilly Belle, Micky and his brother trying to make a buck, the Indian subplots with Joseph, the weird Reverend, oh well I could keep going have a whiskey or six at your favorite saloon tonight in memory of the first 2 seasons

The first two seasons were pretty awesome. 

Thank you OP, thank you!!
You had not only the building of the railroad, but stories in and around it that were also really interesting. Whereas after season 2, the side stories were boring and kind of pointless. Anyone remember that mountain man in S3?? Elam and Cullen playing lacrosse do the death?

Haha, that should be a real sport. Or maybe death golf match? Where the winner gets to beat the loser to death with a 5 iron. Hahaha!
