John continued to try to convince Beth that Jamie wasn't responsible for the hit before he just laid it out there. And at that point she kinda pivoted to the prisoner guy...until she found out that he talked to Jamie. Then she was right back to pissed at Jamie because she'd re-convinced herself that he was part of it. She's just kinda been on the warpath after the attack. And since she got blown up a bit, that seems understandable. Boy the working for market equities side-trip sure was wasted energy, though. That felt, just as much of the season did, like filler. Was it all just to show the depth of her temper? She'd go through all of that just to fire Bob after he wasn't really even directly responsible for her fall in Season 3?

What Jamie did, alleviated the immediate pressure, but absolutely devastated the ranch by allowing development to move forward. I'd have to go back and re-watch, but that's the way I understood the economics of the thing on the Ranch's end. RE: Bob. I don't remember exactly, but he hung her out to dry once market equities overpowered him. I dunno. She was pissed. Whatever. |

Some of my notes:
-Yes, in comparison to other seasons this was boring. -Huge setup for Season 5 though. All that development shit out of the way, they have an opportunity to bring the show back with a bang. -Less Beth. She's just an evil **** running around being an obnoxious bitch... I don't even see why guys are attracted to her. **** all that. -More Kaycee. They have been dicking around with this huge potential of a character for far too long. All of that walkabout shit better be over with, it's time for him to shine. -Get Jimmy off the show... nobody cares about that storyline. How you are going to do a spinoff show based in 6666 ranch is going to be impressive. But I dunno, I thought the same about "better call saul" which turned out amazing. -Beth being at exact spot that the body was being dumped at the exact time to take the picture, then just walks off (did anyone see her car parked somewhere?) was ****ing stupid lazy directing. I'll still watch Season 5 because they have wasted a season setting up to it. It better pack a punch or I may be done with the show. |

Finally all caught up. Love the **** out of this show!
I don't even know how Taylor Sheridan finds time to sleep (between Yellowstone, Yellowstone's prequel show 1883, Mayor of Kingstown and various other film projects in the works) he is a machine at this point. Quote:
I gave Hell or High Water a re watch last night on Netflix and can't get enough of that film. Sure bank robbery films have been done to death but there was something so fresh and unique about Hell or High Water. The chemistry between Bridges and his partner was so authentic as well as the chemistry between the two bank robbing brothers (they were quite funny too) Sheridan's Oscar nom for Best Original Screenplay was well deserved (ditto on its Best Picture nom and Jeff Bridges' Oscar nom) Anyways sorry for getting off topic but I think Taylor Sheridan is one of the most talented artists in Hollywood and we're lucky to have him. |

I saw the lease as a tactical retreat. Had they dug their heels in and attempted to block the development outright, they'd have gotten steamrolled. By leasing it, they don't actually cut off any options to fight later and in the meantime they get a bit of a cash infusion that could bankroll that battle. It seemed to me that the writing was on the wall w/r/t the near term issues with the lease. And he still maintains ownership of the land, even with a long-term lease on it. Had Jamie refused to lease it, it was likely that the Governor was going to use eminent domain to simply transfer ownership outright and again, cut off some options. The lease was a way to slow the burn, save some powder and regroup for a fight on firmer ground, IMO.

Since Beth had an abortion and they scooped out her box when she was 15, would that make her a lousy lay? Or would she make up for it in other ways? At least you could do whatever and not worry about pregnancy.

I know my Dad would be pissed if I did something similar with his ground and there aren't near the stakes. Bottom line though, Jamie put them in an unsustainable position. |

I don't get your hate for John, he's only ruthless when faced with ruthless opposition, and as we've seen this season there are some things he isn't cool with... like not wanting Jaime dead, and being furious with Beth about the envirochick

I mean if your ok with nods, sighs and looks of being disgruntled then John Duton has been great. Even his brief romantic interest was uninteresting. Someone else said this but it rings true. This feels like a season of Breaking Bad where we mostly watch Walter White just taking naps on the couch. |

I assumed that was the train station spot, but can't recall if that was confirmed... Did they mention anything about train station before that happened? I didn't know that Jamie knew where the train station was... maybe he made it there during a previous season that I had forgotten about. One would think that Jamie would NOT be trusted with the burial site of the families victims... |

It was pretty lazy writing, but it wouldn't surprise me to think they both knew where that spot was, they've alluded to the fact Jaime knows where the bodies are buried and likely made a few deposits of his own there |
