Quoted: If you could pick one character to have written off the show (and it can NOT be Wokeahontas or Tate because that’s too easy) who would it be? View Quote If I had to pick one I'd say Travis (Taylor Sheridan). I get that Jimmy is a screw up, but Travis verbally abusing him just got plain dumb quickly and wasted screen time. His character is an arrogant asshole and they had already exceeded the quota for those for one series |

Taylor Sheridan can be a great writer when a project has his undivided attention.
S4 of Yellowstone is what you get when he's dividing himself across half a dozen different projects. |

View Quote I think S4 is decent so far. The new spinoff with woke Tim McGraw and his wife looks good. I can't, however, get into Mayor of Kingstown. Sheridan stepped out of his niche and, frankly, it's pretty mediocre. |

It will never happen, but I hope Lloyd snaps and beats the fuck out of Rip.

These hot women falling for a 65 year old rancher doesn't make much sense until you realize the person playing the 65 year old rancher is the leading actor and executive producer for the show. |

Quoted: I have gone to recording it so to fast forward thru the commercials. The show is two thirds commercials. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Half of this season has been a commercial for one thing or another. I have gone to recording it so to fast forward thru the commercials. The show is two thirds commercials. The best indicator for how good a show is would be judging how often you fast forward or are tempted to fast forward a scene. In S1 it was pretty much 0% for me. For this most recent episode it was over half of it. |

If he owns 750K acres in the West, I'd suggest he is a big fish in most any pond.
Big as "Rhode Island" was the original reference to the King Ranch. But, they copied it for this show. RI is roughly 775K acres. At 2k an acre, thats 1.5 billion. At 5k an acre, thats 3.75 billion. Plus improvements. 20K cattle at a $1,000 a head would be a quick 20 million, and they would have another 500 horses or so. Real quick, you are talking some sizable wealth. About $5.5 billion puts you into the top 200 in this nation. Give or take. |

Quoted: Because we shouldn't highlight people in a sport relevant to the show we're making... View Quote Is the show about a huge ranch or is it about rodeoing? Because if I only watched this season, I'd think it was about rodeo stuff. They have resorted to using that stuff to help fill an hour time slot when they don't have enough script written. They hit their peak and are either struggling or are too distracted with all the spin offs. |
