I enjoy maya hawke so it’s contained to her dad. Again I have no idea what it is that bugs me so bad about him. I think sister magpie just called me old! 😩 Ethan hawke is older than me so neener.

Opposite of Ethan hawke there are people who I’d watch anything they ever do. Nick offerman is one. If they made him Eloras dad? I’d cry enough to flood Oklahoma. When Elaine from northern exposure showed up on “the last of us “ with graham Greene I squeed. I know it’s too late now since it’s the end of Eric Schweig is another one I love. I don’t wanna say I’m old enough to have the hots for Wes studi but among the elder men I like him most unless they got Eric schweig. Then I call dibs on the snagging.

In the magnificent 7 Chris Pratt died exactly right. I think first. And in a stupid manner, I think he ran straight at a Gatling gun. I wanted the Asian guy to live. He and Ethan hawke were the last 2 in the bell tower and by god I wanted to push him off. I think there’s a smugness to him and Costner and nic cage. That I think annoys me. They can do great work ( I love raising Arizona despite my disdain for nic cage) I’m sad too that they chose to end rez dogs. Ever since northern exposure I seek these things out. That remind me of home since I can’t be there.

:( omg I HAAAAAATE Ethan hawk. It’s very irrational. I have zero reason for this. I just want to slap his stupid face. I have several irrational hates. Kevin Costner. People who just ruin absolutely anything they’re in (for me. Mhoo) 🤮 when they remade 7 samurai with Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt etc I prayed the entire time that Ethan hawk would die. Spoiler alert he didn’t die. Everybody in that movie I loved …dead. Saving private Ryan …the dude I hate lives (not Matt Damon the other one) now it’s tainted.

I love the heist plan. I love that it was unnecessary. I had not initially put together that Maximus was the lost brother. I’m glad it tied together because I’ve also been feeling that this season is a lot of bottle episodes. It’s great to get to know cheese on his own or bears journey but I like the group. And I loved that every single element of their plan was so half assed. I love that Kenny boy is the dude from jury duty. I kept trying to place him I love snagging.

That kid has so much more hair than Daryl and it looks combed and clean. I am looking forward to the Rick/michonne one. I hope they do right by them. I just do not understand the appeal of Darryl.

I did watch it. I did NOT hate it. I saw the bath. Ugh I just do not know how they keep doing this to me. I think I’m out and they keep pulling me back in.

Yep. And early 70’s were just barely coming off the forced residential schools where they quite literally tried to beat the Navajo out of you. Marcy’s parents both went to Utah for school (not forced like old days) and luckily got to come back to their fully Navajo families. Marcy was born in 1971 and got to learn to speak Navajo. It was fading. They tried to stamp it out and there is a resurgence. Between Marcy and her youngest sibling, 13 years they didn’t speak Navajo. My next door neighbor pretended not to speak Navajo. She was ashamed of all things Navajo. She “understood” but didn’t speak Navajo and hated when they showed up at school twice a year with clothes for Navajo kids. You got a big clear garbage bag full of a big winter jacket, jeans underwear and necessities. She hated it because it was Walmart clothes. Lots of families needed it, she did not. Her dad and my dad worked together. Every day of her life she tried to be as white as possible.

I think when he left to go to fbi he tried to be as white as possible. If they’re going somewhere with this and having him re-ignite his tribal pursuits, that’s a journey for him. I don’t know that they’ve got the time to do that. AMC is another of those that gives these shows about 3 seasons unless they become cultural phenomenon. I think there were 2-3 hillerman movies made. With Adam beach as Jim chee and wes studi as Joe leaphorn. They were pretty good for a made for tv movie. This past weekend was Navajo nation fair in window rock and megadeath played. I don’t know how I feel about that. Boys I went to high school with were very heavy metal with a side of country. Ac/dc was a favorite.

I’m only halfway through the negan and Maggie one so I dunno if I can’t take unwashed darryl again.

Anybody watch Darryl? I don’t want to wander in there and get spoiled but lord I don’t care for Darryl and don’t wanna. Sigh.

I do think she’s a big reason why he stayed. I don’t think he didn’t not want to work for leaphorn but I do think he def did not want to work for fbi anymore. Obviously he was working for evil fbi guy but aside from that the fbi didn’t actually care about anything but the money in the robbery. No matter the murders that occurred as a result. He was disillusioned with the whole system. But a terrible terrible private investigator. Ha. And he got no game. Elvis shoulda snapped up manuelito he’d probly be alive today…or is he? Next season on dark winds, Elvis is found living on the rez.

Oooh I gotta watch this behind the scenes! I would agree with that. And I don’t know how all native cultures view murder, Zahn McClarnon himself is not Navajo, he just plays one on tv. I like that they respect his input. But a Navajo thing is to not say the name of the deceased, meaning when he got upset at dinner and accidently called jim chee “joe”. Throughout the show he Refered to “my son” never by name. You are pretty much only pronouns after you die. They also don’t keep things. Like making the belt buckle into a feather. Or the jacket that he buried. When you died you were supposed to set the hogan on fire and all your things go with you. (For obvious reasons that’s not practiced too much anymore) You aren’t supposed to be in a house where a person died. My friend Marcy got in trouble for coming to my house the night my mom died (although my mom didn’t die in our house, it was still a house of a deceased person) there were some anxious aunties that kept trying to get her to leave. And my mom had a sweater that Marcy kept for years when you weren’t supposed to keep personal items. But she’s a modern Navajo and she liked my mom just like Joe jrs girlfriend shouldn’t have kept the jacket.

True. Any murder is federal. Indigenous or white. If you steal something from a store they can arrest and charge you. If you were biligana they send you to white people court. If your cows/sheep/ livestock get out and are all over you pretty much can’t call anyone. Just hope they come home.

My soul will sleep fine with what joe leaphorn did. I wish he’d just killed old blondie is out in the desert. It definitely woulda been self defense. I think I’ve only read 1 hillerman book so I’m not married to who they are in print.

I’m doing a rewatch also before I start the new ones. I really only watched season 5 before. My disdain for Walton Goggins is so huge I couldn’t bring myself to watch before. I just cannot like the man and I’m not sure why. I like him in the goofier stuff he does like “righteous gemstones” so it’s been eye opening.

Yes why was blonde terminator back of he did his job 4 years ago? Unless he wanted to get back at Vines? Vines wasn’t hiring him for another job?

We had plenty of crimes on the rez that didn’t involve omnipotent blonde killers. My English teachers jeep was stolen from the high school. Pretty common knowledge around town you didn’t need a key to start it. He walked home all steaming mad and it was parked at his house. So they were polite. They only borrowed it. We think it was nutty (actual name Nathaniel Yazzie) or we made it on cops one time, dude set his coworker on fire. And they had to get a judge to sign the warrant in front of my house. The judge is the same English teacher whose jeep got stolen. He didn’t want his house shown so my bedroom window was on cops. I hope the writers strike doesn’t kill the show. I think Kiowa Gordon is growing his hair out so he can have a leap horn bun. It’s just in an awkward stage.

Jim chee you moron. You wait until she’s leaving? You got no moves, no rizz on the rez.

Only 6 episodes? I do hope it comes back for a third season but stay on track.

Not only do many serve, it’s a staple. In most high schools the asvab (military) test is optional. We all took it. Because generally college is not “expected”. And quite frankly every Navajo I’ve ever known are very freakin patriotic. They did mention the code talker guy and obviously very huge thanks to them. But holy shit yes, I’m always amazed at how patriotic they are considering how much has been done to them. The most recent election I read about them riding their horses to the polls because is isn’t easy for them to vote. They have P.O. Boxes and rural route addresses. But they saddled up and 97% voted.

They do say bepsi and go to the libarry and puppies are pubbies. I don’t see too many pointing with their lips. Like when they ask “which way did he go?” They point with their lips “ober derr” they have used “skoden”( “let’s go then”) on reservation dogs. Been waiting on both of those on this show.

Jim chee is a crappy investigator. Twice. TWICE he opened the damn motel door without looking. I ain’t smart but I look through the peephole. He knows captain super villain is at hospital doesn’t use a peephole

Clearly I didn’t pay attention to what nasa thing was happening. I’m just stupid not crazy. Yay!

Am I crazy or was season one set in 1971? Because season 2 they’re watching the moon landing and while it was before my birth I know it took place in 1969 like there’s Historical records. I could be completely deranged thinking first season flashed me a 1971 sign. I do not speak Navajo but I have a smattering. Usually the bad words. When gramma lady was telling him the thin paper of the catalog was for toilet paper I caught “chaunt” which is Navajo for poop. My inner 12 year old giggled.
