    Best episode ever written

    This was the best episode ever in the entire collection of episodes of the show. I've never seen a TV episode so perfect.

    It's comparable to a high budget well written gritty modern western movie.

    I think knowing the complete background of both characters really helps to make this episode what it is.

    But even if you just watched it as the only episode you ever watch of this entire show, I think it is worthy of a 10/10 rating.

    I didn't mind waiting the several months of off-season to have the privilege to watch it. I've rarely seen this kind of quality writing before.

    Stupid writing!

    I'm finished watching this dumb written story. The writers have little to no knowledge or clue about the wildlife in this area or how the seasons work. Anyone, and I mean anyone who lives in the mountain states knows that elk only bugle in the very late summer and early fall during the rut. The breeding season. To have a bugle sound any other time is really stupid and absurd. Also, the story of Thor Gunderson is getting really old. Why hasn't anyone smartened up and killed him off earlier? His character is only for added drama and his ability to manipulate people and everyone else in everything he does is old. Won't be recommending this to anyone.

    Nemesis

    Great end to a rivalry that seemed like it never would.

    Ridiculous

    One of the worst episodes of any series. Ever. Terrible.

      The military camp that Cullen and the Swede get taken to is the exact same set piece as the Hatch compound. They have added the military tents to the compound to change the look. The exterior of the set was shot in Drumheller Alberta.
