You know a show is done when they add the extra kid to kill it off like they did in The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch.

You could have a show with just Beth insulting hippies for an hour and it would be a huge hit.

The show was done a long time ago. Between plot armor keeping the Duttons alive, Casey turning livestock agents into SEAL Team 6 and his bitch SJW wife and pussy kid continuing to get screen time I'm just about done with the show.

I'm also tired of Beth marching into rooms and telling everyone what a bitch she is and how she's going to make their lives hell. It's so played out and the only thing worse is young women trying to replicate that attitude in real life without having any of the skills to back it up.

Jimmy is there to introduce the 6666 ranch. It will have its own series but unlikely to have Jimmy be involved with its main storyline.

S4E8 turned into a goat rope or cluster $#%^ (whatever suits) in my view.

First 6+ minutes was 1883. That was followed by Jimmy has a date 6666 episode, dinning room theatrics, they-can't-be-that-stupid Market Equities, bashfest in tent city, a wolf and Monica distractions for Kayce, diner tragedy, Jamie manipulated.... whatever. Taylor Sheridan has lost it.

Yup, between the diner scene and Casey's pussy kid with the world's cringiest dialogue it's official: I'm out.


Seriously what mother watches her 12-14 year old kid takes a bath? Oh wait, the same mother who lets her kid hide under the bed all day.

great summation,


guessing that is the same wolf Kayce saw when he was boinking Monica out in the woods last season?

Yeah, looked to have the same coloring.

Maybe I wasn't paying attention early in the episode and missed something, but I didn't understand much about that scene at all.

I'm gonna guess it is something that could be spun as heroism or reckless cowboying during the upcoming political faceoff.

I agree. It sucked

Shitty writing on his part. I do not care about horses the way he does. Pitching additional series I guess is the Network's idea. On another network no less. It is like Leave it to Beaver and spun offs Leave it Wally, Leave it to Lumpy etc.

Well, they are going to need a new Sheriff. Most likely a mid-term appointment. Might be someone who favors the Duttons, or it might be someone that hates them.
It's a chance to bring in a new character, or just give it to Kayce. The local ranchers seem to like him.

I'm watching that episode again now. John just said something about the man who tried to kill him, rotting in prison, and a meeting with the sheriff to make sure that rotting process is a little more miserable.

I missed that statement entirely the first time I saw the episode.

And yes, they're going to need a new sheriff.

I missed that as well. Were John and Rip going to the that particular Diner to meet the Sheriff? I thought that they had stopped to eat and it was just a coincidence that the Sheriff happened to be there.
John still doesn't seem to know that Jamie's 'real Dad' put that guy up to it. If he did he would not have been so nice to him in the Diner.

FYI - Paramount is going to be running a marathon of Yellowstone starting 12/30 and, I presume, ending with this season's finale Sunday night.

Agreed with many of the comments here.
The season started ok & has just turned lackluster & slow.

There's a lot to get done in the finale, unless they're planning on cliffhanger-ing it for the next season.

Jimmy & the rodeo-ing take up too much screen time & don't really add anything to the overall story.

That allows screen time for Taylor and his show ponies. Not interested. Hitchcock was in his movies for a brief second and he had no lines. Wish Taylor would take his cue. As TMATs said POOR research.

This show is like Sons of Anarchy meets Dynasty set as a western. Beautiful scenery. Love the horses.

My least favorite part is when the barrel racers started living in the bunkhouse. Overall I like the show.

Temporary suspension of disbelief is what allows TV watching to be fun. There are documentaries galore to watch if fiction ain't your thing.

Its like a WOKE version of the old TV show BONANZA.

Kind of but no Chinese cook and way more drama. Bonanza had no hott chicks. You think Costner will end up selling ambulance insurance like Lorne Green?

Decent 90-minute season finale. A few more loops closed. (or opened depending on how you look at it)
