Well, he's consistent. Johnny is ALWAYS an asshole no matter the day or circumstances or surroundings.

Well, to be fair, that could be happening where ever you're eating right now. I read an article somewhere I can't remember now, where he said he thought every season, "Is this the one where I get killed?" He knew he was getting it at some point.

I thought about that too. I figured they could use it as a headquarters or something. But then I remembered Rainwater said it would never be accessible to motorized vehicles. Horseback only. So I guess its hard to have a big center of some kind if no one can reach it. I guess the rest of the reservation can continue to be developed and have his casino and such but that part won't be. And they will use all the parts they are dismantling to help with buildings and repairs on the developed part of the reservation. They won't just raze it. It will all be used as much as possible.

That's that. I hate that Beth is getting away with it. She is NOT an avenging angel, she's a sociopath. And with that, I never have to watch a Taylor Sheridan production ever again.

Yeah, but when does it end? You have to pay whatever service you use to get channels and then you have to pay for umpteen extra channels to get all the shows they are putting on those instead of the original channels. Can I afford $9 a month? Yeah. Does it piss me off I have to pay an extra $9 on top of everything else to watch shows? Yeah. Just seems like more corporate greed.

Can't get the computer to cooperate today for quotes, but all this "Beth saving the ranch" business is just another example of bad writing, retcon, whatever. She has said more than once that once her father is gone, she doesn't care what happens to the ranch and they can pave the whole thing for all she cares. Now she wants to save it. What changed? The best I can come up with is her father didn't live out his natural life, so she's pissed and now is fighting back. But otherwise, she's always been clear about her lack of interest in the ranch.

He's been on a few of the 6666 episodes. The last one I remember was when he rode off and left Jimmy to catch up. He was on a few before that also. I didn't watch 1883 because I didn't have Paramount +. I would have certainly been interested in Charles Goodnight, but not if played by Sheridan. That would have ruined a good character.

I thought it was from the sale of cattle in Texas.

I guess that's my complaint too. Jamie truly loved his father when the show started. Maybe that changed somewhat over time, but he did truly love him. He only went to law school because John needed a lawyer. He wanted to be a cowboy. Hell, he didn't even know where Harvard was, so obviously he wasn't exactly Harvard material in the beginning. John got him that because it's what John wanted. He did whatever his father wanted. He even killed his biological father to protect John. So if everyone "felt" something, it seems like Jamie would have also. He didn't know it was happening when it happened. He didn't know about it until afterward. So to set him apart again as "not a true Dutton" seems cruel, even if the entire arc of the show is to shovel shit on him while he's still doing whatever his father wants. He was truly heartbroken over his father's death when he didn't know the whole story. He said what he said (about killing Beth!) in haste. We all say shit we shouldn't in the heat of the moment. But he loved his father to the very end.

It appears to be Marie to me.

Yes, I'm aware.

That might be the perfect way to break my habit of watching this show. The three of them on a season would do it.

Yeah, I like the show, holes and all, but I'm not willing to pay extra to see it. And by the time it comes on in the fall, it will be almost two years since the last episode. I may have it out of my system by then.

Totally understand. The ranching scenes and cowboy stuff are my favorite parts too, because they are closer to my real life. But they seem to be less popular scenes to others. I tend to watch things to the bitter end, because I'm faulty like that, so hate watching is also a valid response.

I have to ask, why do you continue to watch? Is it to see if they get their comeuppance? (A perfectly valid reason.) Just asking what you get out of it if you hate it this much.
