Total typo, thanks brah *fist pound*
I'm thankful that I never fell for Lost, having seen the exact same flying-by-the-seat-of-their-fucking-pants writing style in X Files a decade earlier. No jobbing TV writer brought in to work on either show had a clue where it was going, but they were expert enough in writing enough unanswerable mysteries to trick the audience into believing i was all worked out.
Hell On Wheels is starting to feel the same way. This first season is a lot of compartmentalised plots and hackneyed character exposition, and the only good thing about it is it cosmetically reminds me of a rather superior show...
Ok, enough is enough. Don't kill this thread!!!
Almost too painful to watch:
THE DEADLIFT AT 3 MIN MAKES ME CRINGEEEE

Best part is easily the guy at 2:00 trying to curl on his webcam and breaks his fish tank. I personally don't like the guys who dropped the bench bars, too painful looking. I like a good laugh but not so much the more injury ones.
I agree completely, they got so caught up in the mystery of it that they wrote themselves into a corner with no clean way to end the show. The first season was done so well, then it just slowly degraded as the seasons went on, and you are right, it's because they didn't have an end goal to work towards, just did whatever they wanted without the need to explain any of it
The thing is that they actually did have an ending to work toward. Apparently the ending that we saw (the afterlife meet-up thing) was the planned end from the very beginning. The problem (I think) is that they didn't plan for the show to run for so long so they started adding filler. I'm pretty sure I read interviews where the writers said they added stuff in the earlier seasons because it seemed cool or interesting, never intending to explain it.
Then when they decided to make it 6 seasons they had to figure out a way to make it lead back to the original proposed ending. I don't know why they insisted on keeping the same ending when they could have done something better. Even though I thought the ending was lackluster I did enjoy most of season 6. It was the opposite of some shows (e.g. Nip/Tuck) where I was only watching it to see how it ended.
What, you mean you're not a callous husk of a man, taking pleasure in other people's pain and suffering, living just to see the world burn and circle the drain?
I feel bad for people who go into a gym and don't really have any plan on what they're doing. This tall kid comes strolling into the gym and goes to the curl rack but then walks away and starts doing lunges without any weights across the walkway infront of all the leg machines. Then he goes and grabs two 10 pound dumbells and starts doing dumbell squats in front of a mirror. It looked like he was doing the workout of an old lady in rehab. I felt bad for the guy, but I'm not one to tell people what I think unless they ask.
Another funny thing, I see some kids in the squat rack with 35 plates on each side. I think to myself, hey it's good that those guys are doing squats.. I was wrong. They were doing 'good mornings' and they had hardly any movement at all. The guy was grunting and only going maybe 3 inches in front of him. I wanted to tell them if they replaced the 35s with 5s and went down all the way they could get a better workout, I didn't of course.

Isn't it great when producers/writers/whomever can just let a show run the right amount of time needed to tell a story, and then end, instead of milking the show for everything they can, and then leaving a discarded corpse of a plot?
he may have thought he was doing squats... lol
i forget sometimes that those getting into lifting late have an uphill battle infront of them. theyve never heard of SS or 5x5 or know what a snatch is or anything outside of bench/curl.
i took weightlifting in school all 4 years in high school and played football and wrestling so we had programs at least. but if you didnt i dont know how youd learn or know where to start. i HATE when kids dont put weights away. we cleaned our weight room completely before we could leave. it was a brand new high school and weight room and still the best weight room ive ever seen..
yes, its very great
