Minority Mindset

This week, Max is still upset that Cathy interrupted their serious conversation to deal with a problem involving chicken nuggets. Cathy responds by getting annoyed at his annoyance, effectively shutting down any chance of a productive discussion unless he backs down. However, Max is notorious for holding grudges – he’s still bothered about not being made lead deckhand, even though that happened a long time ago. The next morning, Cathy makes a weak attempt at making peace, but she refuses to see things from his perspective and remains defensive. As a result, they spend most of the first day of their last charter silently angry with each other. Max tells Cathy he needs her to be emotionally stable – meaning he wants her to focus on important conversations instead of running off to fix minor issues. Cathy hopes Max will take the lead in resolving their conflict and “be the bigger person.”

Nexus Point News reports that Maxima will be a supporting villain in the upcoming film, Man of Tomorrow. Early casting notices described a tall, strong female character, leading some to believe Wonder Woman might appear. But James Gunn has clarified that the character is actually Maxima.

Unlike typical Westerns, Hell on Wheels doesn’t settle in one place. It travels with the railroad workers, which allows it to explore complex issues like race, ambition, and the aftermath of the Civil War in a compelling way. Similar to Deadwood, it portrays a gritty and realistic side of the Old West, making it a great choice for viewers who enjoy historical dramas and action-packed stories.
