They never explained how Spencer was able to get on that ship after he threw Arthur overboard. The last we saw of him, he was removed from the first ship to face what?  Charges? A trial? Did he get off with a plea of self defense? 

They said he would not face charges because that one woman (name?) testified that it was self defense and the Captain agreed. Spencer was not allowed to remain on the ship because it was sailing under a British flag and he killed a noble. Not sure where they were taking him to though.

The S02 premiere is traumatizing — a mountain lion on the front porch getting killed, pointless sadism with sex workers, sexual assault, Marshal Kent & his cruelty, Luca’s suicide attempt etc.

Spencer will reach Galveston in next episode. Thank god! I cannot take anymore delay. 😣

Hopefully Alex will reach New York port in no time. I really don’t want to see another roadblocks and drama on board and during train journey to Montana. Just get her there! 😣

Thanks.  I somehow totally missed that.  I was sure the first show would involve Spencer somehow getting out of legal trouble.   In fact when I first saw him on the ship I thought he was a prisoner and not part of the crew.

Okay I don’t remember much. 

Me either.   For example, I had totally forgotten that Spencer and Alexandra had gotten married.  And Darren Mann (Jack Dutton, fiancee and/or husband to Elizabeth)  -- I thought he was killed last season, but he is in the credits.

Enough already, can we please just get Spencer to Montana. I could have done without the prostitution horror bit, odd way to open the season. This needs to kick in quickly.

The one thing I remember, VIVIDLY, is how long it seemed to take Spencer to get from point A to point B  -- or even halfway between Points A/B last season.   I'm heartened over the idea that he's almost in the US and, for now at least, has the money to get a train to Montana.  I just hope they don't dedicate the next episode to Spencer and buddy trying to hold on to their cash.   Just don't.   

I couldn't understand why Jacob wasn't more concerned over leaving Cara and Elizabeth behind with a mountain lion who felt free to roam around the ranch house and buildings.   He didn't have a rifle so I guess he couldn't have killed it, but he almost seemed to shrug his shoulders when it ran off.  

Timothy Dalton and his Bondage Boudoir?  That's ten minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I liked the Out Of Africa adventure and love story part of the first season but I couldn't make it through this first episode of the second season.  All this torture porn - what has happened to Tim Dalton's career?? And rape. It's just grim and foul. I watched the All Creatures Christmas special to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

Just awful.

Forgot to add that, Timothy Dalton aside, the "seasoned" actors in the cast continue to chew the beautiful Montana scenery with the best of them.  If they can't find a script they like, someone should still sit Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren down at least once a year and ask them to read the phonebook -- or the iPhone address book these days, I guess.  

And the speakeasy bit, from Harrison's gruff demand to be let in to his conversation with Robert Patrick's sheriff was gold.

They made a point of letting us know she couldn't get into second class and would be with the great unwashed masses in third or steerage or whatever.   Hopefully it will be filled with Leonardo DiCaprio's buddies from Titanic who just want to dance and drink beer and not people who would fit in at one of Timothy Dalton's parties.   But I'm sure she'll be in peril at some point, and at the very least she'll recognize some enemy in first class.

Oh, ai think Dalton is doing fine. I think some things are there to remind us not to look at this with vaseline on our rosy lenses.  
 

i liked the talk about how looking for speakeasies takes time. “Whiskey”. 

Poor cougar, why would it go there? Something wrong with her.  Why wout stupid Elizabeth go outside?  Good thing someone is a crack shot. 
 

i like Spencer better without Alex.

I have a lot of thoughts about the unnecessary sexual violence and nudity in this show, but I’ll just say I think it’s overdone and I’m really over the whole debauchery plot with Timothy Dalton. We get it. He’s a bad guy. 

I don’t think they did a good job of recasting Pete. The previous actor looked young enough to be a teenager but the new guy looks way too old. I looked up the actor and he’s 36.

Alex made a comment about the temperature in Montana. She’s in for a big shock. They’ll be no romping around outside in her lingerie. I think she’ll hate it there, at least in the winter.

Did Cara forget to tell Elizabeth that there’s a mountain lion hanging around?!

Seriously. What is the deal with Sheridan and these gross story lines.  You can portray a man as evil without this bondage porn bullshit. 

And the rape scene on the boat. Does it all have to be so graphic? I'm watching this for Ford, Mirren and the struggle to keep the ranch, not Taylor Sheridan's sick fantasies. 

Love how the actress playing the young bride is also Tommy's daughter on Landman.  Young blondes being terrified by mountain lions. Can this idiotic trope just die already? 

If the lion was hungry, wouldn't it attack some of the remaining cattle? Why would it hide so close to humans. 

As far as Spencer, it must not have been more than a couple months since he was taken off the ship, as Alexandra isn't really showing.  And how does he end up on a ship bound for Texas?

Maybe we can get the mountain lion on Landman and get rid of at least one of the ditzy blondes she plays on the Sheridan universe. (The actress who plays Elizabeth plays Billy Bob Thornton's daughter on Landman). 

I laughed when Alex said something about the weather in Montana. 

Unless Sheridan is planning something for that young woman to get even with Dalton's character, that nonsense needs to stop. Never underestimate Sheridan's proclivity for hitting us over the head with a plot point or how awful a character is. Beth on Yellowstone comes to mind.  I still can't believe women wear teeshirts proclaiming how much they want to be Beth.

I don't care for it.  Also, I don't understand Sheridan's need to see women battered so much.  I didn't know anything about him until I watched Landman & Yellowstone, and while much of the writing is good, the violence is a little much for me. YMMV.

I usually FF through most of the gory scenes, especially when women are getting the shit beaten out of them.  YMMV.  

And then there's Spencer.  He's the perfect example of Murphy's Law!  😲
