I really cried in the end.

Thanks for that awesome outstanding show Taylor sheridan. Well done! Some of those characters I will remember.

I seriously thought Elsa lived afterall and made it back to Sam. Maybe I wasn't paying attention and missed some obvious cue but I watched the series months ago and only realized this now when I saw someone mention it was just a dream and she actually died.

I couldn't really get into Yellowstone but I'm a western fan and loved Deadwood and didn't mind Hell on Wheels, so I'd like to get into another western series. Am I losing anything by not picking up Yellowstone to watch this show?

Episode nine disappeared from Paramount plus. Anyone else got this problem?

“That’s my heart you’re runnin’ off with. You better cradle it like a goddamn egg.”

“I will sir.”

Good God almighty. Who talks about their daughter like that? Well I guess it can’t be weirder than Beth and John’s relationship. Anyways I’m halfway through the season. I’m no screenwriter but I do believe this show needs more Billy Bob Thornton and less sappy Texas aw shucksisms

Just finished it and man, just depressing. The whole season was really with just a few light-hearted moments here and there. But man what an experience it was, so well done and worth the watch. I was expecting Yellowstone old school style, but this can easily stand on its own. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were amazing actors in this.

What can I expect? With no spoilers of course! 😜

Does their perfectly white and straight teeth bother anyone else as much as me? You show me a pioneer that had teeth like that.

If Elsa had stayed with Sam like she wanted to do, she would not have been shot with the arrow. Her parents talked her into continuing the journey on the condition that she would return to Sam later. It seemed like a writers flaw to not acknowledge this verbally by any of the characters. Else could have blamed her parents for putting her in a position to never see Sam again. Margaret could have said to James “This is all my fault!” And James would be like, “No, honey. You couldn’t have known this was going to happen.” But instead none of the characters acknowledge that she wanted to stay in the first place. And, that her father going off to get the bandits put her and the rest of the group in the vulnerable position to be attacked in the first place.

So I started on Yellowstone but it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Thinking about watching this as it appeals more to my tastes (looks like a traditional western). Can I watch it if I know basically nothing about Yellowstone?

So I have watched all 9 episodes so far but I am slightly confused?

When they hire Cookie, he mentions "how shall I get back" and they say like "Well we'll send you back and your wagin by train" - I also believe this was mentioned someplace else about getting a train back, so why not kust take the fucking train there in the first place! Just makes no sense??

Liked the show in general though...

What a show, huh? It started pretty promising, it dipped a bit in the middle there I think, but that last episode was damn great! So much death and despair, could have been real depressing but that was a strong finisher. I honestly don't think this show needs another season, I'm willing to bet the writing will take a dive like Yellowstone and it will not be nearly as good. I guess it will focus on the homesteading, but with what characters? Realistically, they would be pretty alone out there. And Sheridan will probably be focusing on the other prequel from the thirties.

What do you all think the next season has in store?

Is there any historical significance to CY Ranch mentioned in episode 10? There's plenty to find on the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, but I can't seem to find anything about CY Ranch.

I don’t recall learning much about bandits in history or how they effected travel of the pioneers.

In the show they encounter them quite a few times and along with robbery, they kill the pioneers.

Was it as prolific as it feel portrayed in the show?

Little John could have stayed with Shea for two days. Would have been nice if Elsa went to sleep in both her parent’s arms. Any particular reason or that’s just what Sheridan went with?

Falls in love, gets killed and doesn't even get to hang out in his fiance's heaven

Talk about first ten episodes and special: Taylor Sheridan says he didn't know Elsa was going to play a big part until she failed the audition for him for another show and he pictured her tying together two other plot threads Tim McGraw repeats some stats for top 10 causes of death on wagon trains:

1. falling off the wagon
2. accidental discharge of firearms
3. drowning during river crossing
4. native american attacks
