How dare you besmirch Billy Chapel!!

Vin Scully broadcasting a make-believe no-hitter. Cal Noughton Jr. saying "Chappy - we don't stink right now!"

As far as romantic comedies disguised as a sports film go, it's solid. Costner in a sports movie always brings it up by 3 points over what it has right to be.

I think Kevin Costner kicked GB's cat. I watched that movie and didn't find it horibad but once is enough.

Its really starting to feel like end of the line GoT or Walking Dead... they're out of fresh ideas and just kinda punting right now

They're holding out on the John/Kaysey/Rainwater finality

Holding out for the big finale out is a trap of their own making IMO

We see it in plenty of shows, the writers dawdle along... then suddenly try to wrap it all up with some haphazard, overwrought two hour finale

lol
In fairness to the showrunner Taylor Sheridan, he is currently juggling 3 different shows at the moment (Yellowstone, 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown plus his film screenplays )
I'm probably in the minority here but I'm loving this season so far. Rip remains my favorite character and I'm glad Kaycee is getting more screen time. But I do completely understand a lot of the criticisms of this season so far.

Feels more to me like How I Met Your Mother.

They figured they were done in season 7 then they got a syndication deal that required X number of shows so they had to get 2 more seasons in. So they just limped along for 2 more years even though they'd been planning on wrapping things up 2 years earlier. Everything in the storyline was aimed at a particular endpoint and then it just got pushed out like 30 more episodes.

So they just meandered for 2 years and every episode just felt like it was stalling for time so they could do in 30 episodes what they'd planned to do in the last 3 of season 7.

And then right as they were trying to bring it in for a landing someone yanked the stick to the right and killed everyone on board.

I've never seen a show torch goodwill like HIMYM did. If anyone here watched it they'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I can't even watch re-runs anymore, the dicked up the last 1/3 of it (and the ending) that badly. Yes, worse than GOT.

They need to axe Kayce's wife. Unless she is showing that sweet ass naked, she is annoying as ****. Get rid of her, make the Indians pissed off the Duttons again and have Kayce become a man whore. Win for show.

Great comparison. And yes. I came in late so I only endured the madness for 2 years. I couldn’t imagine being in from the beginning. I imagine there was a good portion of the audience hate watching that shit.

I don’t see an endpoint conclusion they’re stretching out. But I definitely see the meandering.

**** it. Just have Kaycee go full tactical Dutton. Him going all bully badass on fools was probably my favorite part of the show. Other than the motorcycle fight. That was the best fight of the show.

MOAR KAYCE LESS BETH!

(not gay)

How about more naked Beth less clothed Beth?

**** it. I love some of the moments from this show.

I absolutely love the biker scene. I'm inevitably giddy when Rip smokes all those ****ing motorcycles. ROFL

And credit where credits due. Other than Rip and Lloyd not taking a hit, Teeter equates herself as well as anybody.

Such a great scene.

Haha yep loved that scene, you knew they were in trouble when Rip showed up

Random trivia - did you know Teeter is Michael Landons daughter?

I did not know that. I also didn't know she was my age. I'd put her still in her 20s. They sure changed her look for the show. And I've never heard her speak, but I'm guessing it's a pretty decent acting job.

Hogfarmer will appreciate tonight's episode

Are we being trolled at this point?

I mean 15 minutes of that episode were pointless musical interludes of some sort. And there was some horse jacking.

Oh, and evidently Jimmy can't fall off a horse without landing on a solid 7 that's looking to try to **** him, for reasons that defy all logic or comprehension.

And why are we letting Laramie stay in the bunkhouse? It appears she's a fairly obvious source of tension and near as I can tell she doesn't actually do anything. Teeter is a badass so obviously letting her stay (especially wearing the brand) was a no-brainer. But what the hell's the point in letting this buckle-bunny who's banging a guy you wanted to kill anyway stick around?

Like I siad - I feel like we're just getting trolled at this point.

Yeah, another pointless filler episode. Nothing is at stake here. Ooooohhh, John is going to run for guvnah, further making poor Jamie hate him more...TENSION!!!

This show frankly sucks. This season anyway.

I'm pretty sure the majority of this season was just to pimp the new 1883 series.

Teeter cleans up nice.

I imagine the final 3 episodes will pick up a bit thankfully

I don't get the Jamie thing anyway. I thought the whole point was inserting him into these political positions to help John and the ranch. Which to this point, Jamie has done. But now he has the chance to run for governor and "NO WAY! THAT'S TOO MUCH POWER FOR HIM" Doesn't really make much sense. Other than the obvious plan to make Jamie the villain.

That scene near the end, herding mustangs back to first persons' land, gave Bojack another mid-life crisis

<iframe width="584" height="329" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uJ3l7CEmv7g" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Bury Jamie for having a father that tried to kill the family? Questioning the loyalty of Jamie?

They're both going to need to come to an understanding here because if Jamie goes into straight up open warfare with John, it's mutually assured destruction.

That could provide a few episodes worth of tension as they realize that they could both eviscerate each other. Because in the end, anything Jamie tries to barbecue John for, he'd be an accessory to. And we know Jamie has a kill on his own that John's aware of.

Oh, and in the end, Rip would kill the shit out of Jamie if he was asked. So yeah, Jamie will rattle a saber and then come to this realization.

Why was Jamie even invited to the Governor's announcement of support for John's candidacy? Just to rub his face in it?
He is such a weird character in this

Yeah, I didn't quite understand that either.

I'm gonna go ahead and chalk it up to bad writing again. It was contrived and didn't really make any sense.

If Jamie sees Rip approaching him with an Igloo Cooler, he better beat cheeks...

It's ham-handed, but the essential point is that John is [only, grudgingly] running to keep Jamie from even considering it. So not so much 'rub his nose' and 'nip in bud.'

But again - why call Jamie to the presser?

I do think this may be John, in his own gruff-ass Dutton way, trying to protect Jamie from himself.

I mean how much public scrutiny does John really want Jamie facing. And yeah, now he'll face it, but with a lot more savvy (and a fair amount more "IDGAF") than Jamie would have.

I almost wonder if he doesn't feel like he's stepping in front of a bullet for Jamie, just as much as for Montana writ large.

Some of this maybe to a degree. But if “stepping in front of a bullet” for Jamie, why not give him a heads up before hand? Or hell, even just not telling him at all would have been kinder than this. This was just unusually cruel.

Unless the story is going to get more unbelievable and John has some how learned who was really behind the hit and punishing Jamie for covering it up. God, I hope that’s not the case, that would be even worse writing than we’ve seen so far this year.

Right so that shitty cowboy in me song is a Tim McGraw one which I’m sure McGraw leveraged some money out of paramount for the 1887 series because agents man.

The other one felt more natural. But yeah. There was horse jacking.

I went back and watched the last show from the last three years because lots of stuff happens in the last show of each season. I don't know how many total people have been killed since the first episode, but I think it's in the neighborhood of 25 or 30. I think they've sent three or four guys to the "train station." The chick who had Jamie's baby is red hot. She straddles him in his campaign office in the first season and screws him on a desk. The chick who's currently hot for Kayce was a stripper that Rip hired to be a groomer and was the first chick in the bunkhouse. John has beat cancer and multiple gunshot wounds. Beth survived a brutal rape and being blown up in her office. Kayce's wife got a brain injury as a teacher and was being strangled by a serial rapist on the reservation when Mo took the guy out with a sniper shot to the head. Jamie killed a reporter after spilling the shit on his dad. There's a lot of complicated stuff going on here...

Yeah, I feel like maybe "Cowboy in Me" was the moment the show jumped the shark.

That's a 5 minutes music video for a mainstream country artist where absolutely nothing happens because said artist is on a spinoff. And as noted - it's a shitty song.

The whole thing had a real "Benedict Cumberbatch is James Bond now" feel to it when you realized that 'uh oh, Sherlock might just suck now...'

Agreed. Especially on the shitty song business.

I’ll give them some rope though. I still sees avenues to save it.

Who's more pussywhipped? Jamie or Kacey?

Jamie is a pussy. Kacey loves his wife.

Jamie.

At least Kacey has tagged Monica more than once.

Better episode tonight.

1883 is pretty good if you like Westerns.

Definitely a better episode. But damn. CRAZY shit happens in this town LOL.

Just a random holdup ends in massive gunfight? Hoo boy.

The rest is going to be on the other side of the paywall, correct? I'm out.

Besides, I can't stand Tim McGraw OR Faith Hill to a degree that is uncalculatable.

Outside of Hazzard County. :D

Tim McGraw is pretty damn good in the new show. Faith Hill is pretty blah. They try to put the Hollywood woke shit in a western from 1883 though lol.

This season has had it's moments, but for the most part, it blows.

You probably shake your head at how they portray Montana in it like I do with Ozark.

I mean some of it is accurate, but yeah, it's not like there are wild groups of vigilantes running into town and killing people off, with no apparent consequences. At least a lot of it is accurate, the ranchers around here are very protective of their land and most people around here don't care much for Californians moving in.

The one that really cracks me up is "Big Sky." It's like Montana's version of Fargo.

If you only knew Ruby’s cafe, the demographic and its location in Missoula you’d laugh even harder at that scene.

I mean, that entire scene looks like it was scripted and acted out in an hour.

I bet they have had a 40% increase in diners since Sunday.

Are you serious? When I saw that preview for show, I said that looks good but @#$% Tim McGraw. That guy supports gun control and I'm sure other leftists BS. But the show looked good so I thought I might give it a try, despite that. But if what you're saying is true about them inserting woke crap in there, I might have to pass on this.

This season is a big disappointment. Is there going to be a season 4?
I can't believe they are going to cram this all in with a couple episodes left.

It's pretty obvious they had material for 2 seasons and don't know what to do now. Half the show is guitar playing, watching cattle being herded, following Jimmy in Texas and Monica giving her 15 year old son a bath.

Oh its mainly weird shit like showing women had hair under their arms and having more black characters in it than they would have been in that time.

I'll bet Rip's wallet says "Bad Motherf**ker" on it...

I don't know why women are attracted to Jimmy. He looks like he's missing a chromosome.

Acts like it too.

1 black speaking role, and the second-best actor behind Sam Elliot.

The most detracting/distracting part of the first two eps was the tagalong sister Claire, mostly because I spent the first half trying to figure where I'd seen her before, and the second half trying to assess how good/bad a job she was doing based on how hard it was to figure that out.



The daughter Isabel May is certainly a breakout, presence on par with Kaitlyn Dever or Jennifer Lawrence in THEIR early TV roles. She was the star of that premiere feature of whatever Ben Shapiro's attempt at a movie studio was.

The story is decent enough thus far. But I'm expecting better narratives once introductions are out of the way and better visuals once they're out of West Texas.

Sam Elliot is a definitely plus.

Hmm. I thought Sam Elliot's acting was inferior to everyone else. I quite liked the first episode. That blonde chick is going to be a handful.

The Sheriff of Fort Worth takes no backseat to Rip of Yellowstone in the mean mother ****er department. "I'm the only killer in this town."

Who was the actor looking familiar but can't place him? I quite liked the episodes so far and I hate Tugs POS son.

Billy Bob Thornton

In a show with casual murder, random public gunfire and weekly skirmishes resulting in mass casualty events, Jimmy constantly pulling tail requires a larger suspension of disbelief than anything else we are subject to.

Can we PLEASE kill him off already? He was entertaining enough in season 1 and 2 but he has far outlived his usefulness. Have him driving a truck with Monica and Tait when someone from market equities rams it off a cliff or something.

There's too much plot armor and too much dead weight in this show. Let's just knock all this mess out in one shot.

Haven't watched this episode yet, but I'm ALWAYS down to see Billy Bob play a wild west sheriff... be catching this tomorrow

Haha. I didn't even notice.

Your concerns over Tim Mcgraw might be alleviated. I thought he was the best one, actually.

ROFLROFLROFL I laughed so hard out loud

Damned how did I miss that lol. Thanks

Oh shit, hope I didn't give anything away. Sorry!

He's in opening credits, so.

I'm more interested in 1883 than Yellowstone at this point. I hate to say it, but the show just sucks right now. If this shit was season one, nobody would be watching it. Disappointing to say the least, IMO.

I'll have to find some time to check out 1883.

I’m the one that hates McGraw.

I always skip intro lol

Oh, there is plenty of hate to go around for that ****stick. But makeup so far has made him more than tolerable in this.

If you don't feel like tracking it down

Took me a bit to recognize his wife.

Jesus Christ.

He is the best, period. His voice is second to none..

He was in Roadhouse. The Best Movie ever made. Roadhouse.

I could go along with that. Heck, I would even watch a commercial if Sam Elliot was in it.

Sometimes there's a man, well, . . . he's the man for his time and place. . . .
