Do we have to spoiler stuff in here since season over?  Actress who plays Beth is amazing, but I despise her character. I think John has to kill her at end of series due to a choice she will end up making. What that is I have no clue, but she’s getting worse and worse and acting using her discretion is not leading to smart choices. 

I’m in the same boat as you - the whole scorched earth thing has gotten old to me.  Then her Dad scolds her for getting the protester tossed in jail and she cries about it.

I'm at the season 3 cliff hanger ending.  It looks like season 4 will come onto Peacock sometime after it airs on Paramount.  Season 4 just ended?

It's a good show.  Sort of like the Godfather goes west.  At least at the end that's how I felt.  How Godfather-ish it is.  The family business.  Hitting all 5 families at the same time and the way this season 3 ended.  Wow.  So, will stay out of this thread cause I don't want to know what happens.

You can watch season 4 on the Paramount app for free. My wife and I have a couple of episodes left.  There’s a lot more commercials on the Paramount app, 1 episode takes a full hour to watch, but we do what we have to.  IMHO, the 1st episode of season 4 is balls to the wall awesome, but it falls off a bit after that, with at least one of the storylines being eye rollingly unrealistic. Still a great show though.

Finished up season 4 last night. It was the most satisfying ending to the weakest season so far I guess. Cons, too much Travis, I know it’s his show but he’s the least interesting of the supporting characters, and too much time is spent on his scenes when he’s around. Also, Jaimie. His story line this season just didn’t make sense. I know you did all those horrible things, but I just want to get to know you daddy!  👎  Pros, Rip. Him dragging the armed robber through the window was pure awesome. Still looking forward to next season. On to 1883 I suppose. Also, they just announced 1932. Should be good.

Fair warning, Sheridan wrote himself into 1883 as well.  But to his defense, paramount gave him 7 months to finish the show when he didn’t even have a script, cast, or budget.  He came through.  It’s a good spin off so far

Taylor Sheridan seems like a dude who REALLY loves himself

 No doubt

In addition to more episodes of 1883 (which is fantastic), and 1923, they’re also making 6666. Not so sure about that last one, but I’m sure I’ll give it a try.

Isabel May is a beautiful girl, but when she put the Comanche vest on and got all fierce?  Good gracious

BTW, I think that

Spoiler

she's gonna die. My wife doesn't think she will because she's the narrator, and they've announced that they're making new episodes, but I told her that when James told his wife that they needed to prepare themselves, he was telling the audience that we need to prepare ourselves too.  I hope that she prepares herself.

You must be unfamiliar with teenage girls.  They can be silly people.  Yes, I know that it's woke girls are just as physically capable as boys nonsense, but I've found it compelling.

james also says he when she dies where they bury her is where they will live. This obviously hints that she is buried somewhere on the Yellowstone ranch. Which is why they work so hard to protect it. She was also not mentioned in the two flashbacks during season 4 of Yellowstone….granted 1883s story wasn’t written at that point yet but worth noting [\spoiler]

I could be wrong, but I definitely think she's going to die.  Her narrating the show could just be her words from a journal?

Regarding 1883:

Man, I want to like the show.  I really do.  Part of me likes it, because it's the first real Western I can get my wife to watch....But man some of it is dumb.  Isabell May is HOT AF....no doubt.  She has a Jennifer Lawrence look to her.  But GD is her character annoying as hell.  Her narration is really annoying and just overdone.  Actress is decent....except for how she speaks in the narration, but why does Sheridan have to write so many annoying female roles.  I know, even in 1883, teenage girls were emotional roller coasters who fell in love every other day...but damn. 

 

I don't care how good of a rider she is....there is no way she would beat a comache on horseback.....and the to be easily caught from behind by other riders in that one fight?  We were all told to lay our horses down in a tornado....yet she doesn't and the horse is found later after the storm without a scratch on him.  Oh and while we're trying to survive a tornado...let's make out and do the high school backseat grind. 

Faith Hill is terrible....I mean really bad.  Sam Sheppard isn't great in this either.  Best character on the show is Thomas....

 

And obviously the daughter is going to die.....in Montana.  That explains why they are on their way to Oregon but end up in Montana.  

 

Spoiler

While we're pointing out gripes with the show, what is up with the route they're taking to Oregon?    I mean I'm no geography expert, but going to Montana to get to Oregon doesn't make much sense.  In fact, the route they're taking makes it seem like they intended to go to Montana the entire time, not Oregon.

But they have to go there because that’s where the Dutton Ranch is.  Duh. 

Right.  Oh we're in Texas and need to go to Oregon?  Let's head straight north then!

There are only a certain passes to cross the Rocky's to get to Oregon.  The Oregon Trail was the most direct route, saving a good bit of time, but also a fairly northern route meaning that, if you didn't reach it early enough, you were going to either wait winter out east of the Rockys, or likely die in the pass.  Early in the series the were trying to find the quickest ways to get to the Oregon trail which was an already established route.  There was no direct route from Texas to Oregon.  You could argue that they should have stayed south, but then you're talking months through the desert, which seems like a non-starter.

Zuke - be honest.  Do you have a poster of Taylor Sheridan hanging in your bedroom?

Of course not.  I keep it hidden in the back of the bathroom cabinet.

I learned everything I needed to know about this show playing Oregon Trail on the Apple IIe during study hall

Love how people are complaining about the plot of how they end up in Montana  because Elsa dies there as if this Isn’t a prequel and we don’t already know they end up settling in Montana.  Like "oh it’s poor writing that this thing happens and the acts why they end up in Montana.”

Finished watching Season 4 on peacock, so I guess that's it.  Now I wait.  Not seeing 1883 anywhere except Paramount.  I guess I could do the app if they have a free 30 day trial, watch it then cancel it.

Miss Beth, well now Mrs. Wheeler is just something else. She is by far my favorite character.  Especially how it ended.  Good God Jamie is so stupid.  He walked right into that one.

I keep seeing comparisons to The Godfather.  All of them getting hit at the same time.  John surviving and being escorted home in the ambulance and then taking him up the steps.  No babies crying though.  That scene was so dumb.

Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford are joining the "Yellowstone” universe in the upcoming series "1932” for Paramount+.

"1932,” which is the show’s working title, is an origin story introducing a new generation of the Dutton family. It’s set to explore the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain West and the Duttons who call it home,” the streamer said in a release.
