Trigger warning -- not directly related but it could save you a buck or two

SIAP but for those of you on t-mobile you might be eligible to get Paramount+ for free for a year.

It's painless if you are on the Essentials (with commercials) plan. I was on the no-commercial sub and it was still easy but had to let my sub lapse and then apply. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

No ties to T-Mobile; I was forced to change a few years ago because work pays for my phone (and tmob offered corp $15 a line for 2000 users vs $100+ we were paying for ATT or Verizon!). Originally wasn't not thrilled with service off the beaten path but been very reliable in big cites and major highways and gotten much better the in the last 2 years.

We get free MLB.tv and free Netflix from them already as well...

That was a helluva episode.

WOW! Agreed.

We thought the same thing. She beats an indian in a race and gets caught by multiple cattle thieves minutes later.

Also, i assume they trying to keep her alive? They switched to trying to hit her with the butt of the gun when they were well within range to shoot her.

sorry

Main Comanche was Chip from Wind River.

That was a great episode! I feel like they're going to easily convince the Germans to change their plans and settle in Colorado.

Ha, I just finished the new episode and came to see if anyone recognized Sheridan as Charlie. Same awful lines and awful delivery.

The tornado scene really made me think what the heck would or could you do at this time if you got caught up in that type of situation.

To be fair, she didn't beat the Indian by a whole lot. That's a slightly faster than average horse. Also, this idea that average horses run for a mile at a full gallop is a thing of hollywood. it makes good tv because people think that the Kentucky derby and every western ever made is standard fare for a typical field grade horse. The scene is pretty reasonable I think.

This may have been one of the best episodes so far.

Love this show.

Surprised to see Comanche using saddles though. Animal rights while filming? Maybe no actors know how to ride without one?

Him and his speech pattern, coupled with Shea being the happiest he's been through 7 episodes to see him, all took me right out of the narrative of that great episode.

Don't apologize. You were spot-on!! I'm having to resist the urge to do it to my husband.

Also was Sheridan doing a Tombstone Doc Holliday accent?

Ha ha ! That's exactly how I figured out that it was Sheridan.

Great episode - maybe the best so far ?

I gotta say that I think the two leading roles and actors in this show are McGraw and Elliott. I'm not intending to put the two ads comparable but they are definitely to me the best two.

Great episode overall..........Three Things:
1.) As far as Elsa's horse...Lightening....we have to remember she rode the horse pretty hard to catch up with the rustlers....and the rustler's horses were resting. Then, she has to run for her life, so it could be that her horse was pretty "spent" during the chase, causing them to be able to catch up with her. I was looking at numbers....13 rustler's when the attack began.....looked like they killed 4 or 5 in the initial rush....then 4 were after Elsa....then we come back to the battle and there are still like 7 or 8 guys alive attacking McGraw and co......but ok.

2.) I'm assuming all of this took place in Oklahoma....not sure what Charlie Goodnight (Sheridan) is doing out there all alone when his ranch is 100's of miles away in Texas.........but maybe he was returning from a cutting horse competition or something.

3.) Really bothered me that Sheridan had a 6 year old boy use/say the "F" word....thought that was totally unnecessary....sure the boy heard it....but he didn't have to actually have him say the word. (I kind of doubt the word was used as much back then)

I pointed out your #1 to my wife as well. "Where the hell did all these guys come from?"

You saw the head start they had on the rustlers. You think it's unreasonable for HER horse to run that fast for that long but not THEIRS? Hence the complaint.

Yea the first one was kinda weird looked like they had shot alot of the guys but seemed more kept showing up vs getting less from being shot.

Goodnight could of been traveling the Goodnight-Loving Trail. It started in Central Texas and ran up to Wyoming.



Far as last one as someone who grew up on a ranch, as kid your going to hear that kind of language when working the ranch. My grandfather would always say this type of language stays in saddle & in the pasture. There's a time & place for it and a man has to know that.
