Ok why aren’t we talking about the interesting and potential storyline between him and Carter had my attention for a second and then they killed him…in front of the leopard cage…I am assuming the writers were trying to develop some sort a storyline and have a cliff hanger situation…but here are some clues let’s start with we actually need a storyline, connection, framework SOMETHING!!! But for me to say that I was more intrigued by that short lived un-understandable moments than anything else is CRAZY!! I mean even the glimpse of Beth looking at endangered species ranching on line I guess was suppose to forecast to something later…I don’t know but they killed the character and took the leopard soooo…🤷🏽‍♀️…he actually may have been one of my favorite chatacters on the show…yikes that’s not good but since the writers seem to want me to watch a show about young people nonsense I guess I’ll go watch the real life bull on NextGenNYC or if it’s about Drug Cartels and how you really don’t survive this then well I can just pick a streaming service or network close my eyes and click with in the first two or three chances I’m sure to land on something about dealing drugs and probably right in the head with drugs related to South America…come on guys…DO BETTER!!! Just saying

Does anyone else find what the show does with Rip’s hair distracting? I know they dye his natural hair so the character can have the tall, dark, and handsome thing going but it’s just so one-tone and so obviously dyed that it’s a little distracting. He’s 50 and the contrast of the hair with the rest of him has become jarring. It takes away from Rip’s coolness to think he wakes up at 3am instead of 3:30am to get his Just For Men on. Rip’s a guy that would age naturally.

I wish they’d let him have a little grey or at least break up the pure black a little.

These are all good looking people and I am in way commenting on the actor. Just the show’s choices.

A look back at the complicated relationship between Carter and Oreana on Dutton Ranch.

• Apollo 13 star’s concerns are being addressed, and Everett is believed to be front and center in the upcoming Season 2 of the series, from 101 Studios and Paramount TV Studios, which is now being written, with Harris kept in the loop.
• Harris already has been picked up for Season 2, which is slated to begin production Jan. 15.
• Harris has a two-year deal for Dutton Ranch, which I hear includes an option for a third.
• The recent change at the helm of Dutton Ranch, with creator Chad Feehan, who served as Season 1 showrunner, let go ahead of the series premiere, was largely related to how Harris’ character Everett McKinney was utilized — or rather underutilized.
• Harris is said to have been involved in picking Feehan’s replacement, SEAL Team creator Benjamin Cavell.

After hearing Ed Harris’s remarks about Season 1 and Cole Hauser liking his interview on IG, I really wonder what the hell Chad Feehan was thinking, especially when Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Ed Harris were unhappy. Why on earth did he think he could turn this show into the Carter and Oreana teenage drama? He obviously does not know his audience. I’m here for the adults. Season 2 better be about Beth, Rip, Everett, and Beulah with very little Carter and preferably no Oreana. Those two have zero chemistry.
We better get lots more Beth and Rip.

Thank goodness Kelly and Cole had him fired. Hopefully the new showrunner and writers will listen.

Yellowstone ended with Beth and Rip buying a ranch deep in the Montana wilderness, which we got to see for about ten minutes. Everyone involved seems to have forgotten the extent to which Montana itself was a character in this family's story.

So in a way (spoiler), >!that makes two Taylor Sheridan-helmed shows this year that killed off a leading character in episode 1.!<

And... please no hate, I have beloved family in Texas and enjoy visiting there... but the particular landscape featured in the DR show isn't just "not up to Montana standards." I find it positively ugly and depressing. I don't look forward to making weekly "visits" there the way I did during the original series run.

Combine that with:

• The fact that Beth and Rip have become passengers in someone else's saga -- a family I don't relate to and don't care about
• The WB-style generic teen angst distractions... "kid is an ass" is not writing
• Setting up Druggy McTwoNamesChin as the Big Bad, then >!having him die senselessly not at the hands of Rip!<

-- and I'm hanging on by a thread here. We're supposed to be relieved that Sheridan is riding in on a white steed to take over the pen and right the show in season two, but we know what happens when Sheridan gets on a steed and takes a personal interest in a story. Yeesh.

He didn’t hold back at all, and honestly, it was really good to hear his take. What do you guys think?

I’ve just finished the final episode and I find this show wanting. Beth & Rip aren’t the characters we meet in Yellowstone and the plot is all over the place.

Beth may've left Montana, but she has plenty of people to face off against in Texas.

I think the first season of DR painted itself into a corner by not including enough good guys.

It's Rip, Beth, Carter, Everett, and Beulah as main characters, with Azul and Kino in the second tier, and I guess Oreana (she's the dullest character--just a spoiled rich brat). Anyhow, none of these characters are going to be killed off, and so the stakes moving forward are very low for the audience.

Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923 had huge stakes because major characters and second-tier characters (who we knew from early on) were being killed off all the time, which created tension for the audience.

But with DR starting their first season with such a small cast of good guys, there's no one to kill, which doesn't captivate the audience. Sure, they can up the risks by introducing more good guys in the second season but it might be a little too predictable to guess who is going to be killed off--if not in S2, than Season 3.

I don't know who Dutton Ranch should introduce in the second season, but if they want the audience to feel the pressure, they need a few extremely well-written characters--character that we love by the end of episode 2 or 3--so that when they are killed off in episode 8, 9, 10 (so dumb to only make nine episodes for the first season), the audience really feels the gut punch.

We’ve gotten some amazing Beth and Rip moments over the years, but what is the one scene or storyline you’d most want to see for them in Season 2?

A happy moment away from the chaos? A big emotional scene? More backstory on their year in Dillon? Something else?

Ok really hope they don't do a who shot robwill.

Considering the 10p is basicly a front for drugs and has cartel associations. The idea they don't have security cameras when rip has them on all his trails.

Ok can be argued Joaquin would know where they are.... it was the front door. Like they wouldn't have coveage of the front door.
