Yellowstone (Paramount Network) Movie • Page 5

I think Casey being separated from the Duttons pretty much all season was a mistake. His arc was mostly a bore up until the end. And for all the good that’s happened to him, he seems to want to unravel it unnecessarily.

 

Yeah to end his season arc basically saying "What will all his visions mean????" was kinda dumb

 

Pretty ordinary finale to an ordinary season.
Only thing of interest to me in the end was Jimmy’s story and I enjoyed his redemption with Rip, Lloyd and John. Prior to this episode, I didn’t care for it at all.

 

Good episode of 1883 today. Showed how truly treacherous river crossings/fording a river was for settlers back then. Like how they juxtaposed Isabel's piano playing with the settlers finally attempting the crossing at the end

 

1883 was great today; things finally getting serious

 

I need to start 1883. I’m not all that motivated for some reason even though it looks great and I love traditional westerns.

 

I think this is great.

 

Dawn of the Spider-Man

 

That ending hit hard,
Bummer we gotta wait two weeks again for the next one

 

It's very much a different vibe than Yellowstone; a slower one for sure. But a seemingly fairly accurate portrayel of what life must have been like for those Oregon Trailing their way west at that time. Both Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are great in their roles

 

Yeah that was pretty tough to see; and with how the show showed us what happens with Elsa later on, it makes seeing all this even more tough

 

I thought the episode as a whole was really great with all of this. I knew it was going to end in tragedy because they kept foreshadowing that Elsa would essentially have to see the world for how it really is.

It was tough, but they kept reinforcing the idea that she was too optimistic since her and her immediate family have been relatively unscathed throughout this journey. I feel like this will push this character into a new "mature" direction (for lack of a better term).

 

Just finished season one and I have so many questions. Most important being are we actually supposed to like any of the Dutton’s? Because they all seem like the worst people walking the face of the earth. Maybe I’m just biased because I have a portion of Native American in me. How are they able to just outright kill whoever they want whenever they want? But really, the only thing I can really think about is what does the ranch do to make money? I know they raise cattle, but are they selling? Meat industry? They’re always practicing rodeo type events but I don’t think they compete. Oh and we are just supposed to be cool with the indentured servitude?

 

From what I remember season 1 was more over the top/dramatic than the following seasons. Season 2 brings it down a notch, with stronger character writing and more interesting plot lines. But your point about being able to kill whoever, without any consequences, continues through every season. It's a complaint I still have, and many others online have pointed out, but it appears we'll just have to live with it.

As for the family's wealth, I haven't worked that out either. Their land itself obviously holds tons of wealth, but it's not liquid, so then their only other income, that I can think of, must be from selling cattle. But their cattle herd doesn't seem that big either, so it can't be providing them that much revenue. So, in reality, we have no idea how the Dutton family is able to pay all their employees and pay their yearly taxes on the land, and I doubt it'll ever get answered

 

Totally agree with the first part about not having any consequences. I feel that way about a lot of shows (Ozark, most recently). Tons of people who go near the main characters end up dead and/or missing, and the the most that ever happens is people ask about it once or twice and then quit looking into it. They never think "Gee, there have been like three dozen people who have gone missing recently that are all connected to the Duttons.... Probably isn't anything to that...." It feels like a lot of shows have tried to sort of replicate Breaking Bad in some ways, but they fail to handle everything as delicately or give everything appropriate backlash and fallout before moving on.

Re: the Duttons' wealth. I think the cattle raising and selling is supposed to be the majority of it, but they also make tons of money from "breaking", training and buying/selling horses (I don't know shit about horses, so I could definitely be wrong there). That said, it's still a bit of a mystery because those things wouldn't warrant THAT level of wealth, but who the hell knows.

 

Crazy how popular this show has become, and I can't imagine how insanely busy Sheridan must be now
