It says nothing about me. Cable shows have been replaying Maverick. That says more about them than me.
But he sets up Maverick with the Russian and all the while lies about the money he's earned. I just think it's comical.
Sorry. I still have satellite tv. I don't stream. I've rewatched or caught in the middle Maverick too many times the last few weeks. Not a coincidence.
Agreed…simply horrible casting!JCA1 said:
And if we're gonna critique the casting, having the Bosom Buddies guy as a union general was clearly the worst.

I'm waiting for one of the Encyclopedia Browns of the thread who hate the show (yet continue to watch it and post here to let us all know how bad it is) to chime in on the fact the Eurasian Collared Doves weren't in The U.S. until the late 20th century. Because you know, that's super important to the story.
I thought it was a good season finale and am excited about Season 2.
Dances With Wolves did the same thing, My wife and I joked that maybe that movie was how they were introduced into the wild. I chuckled again when we saw that last night. Great show. I'm going to miss Elsa.Quote:

Didn't she marry Sam? That makes way more sense than EnnisBighunter43 said:
So no one but me thought it strange when Elsa returns to Indian "Sam" when she dies, but not her first love cowboy Ennis who's already dead.....wouldn't it make more sense for them to reunite in the afterlife?
He also just announced four more new shows he's developing (in addition to 1932):cypress-ag said:
So is 1883 returning for year two ? I guess there's a lot of story to be told but isn't a new series coming out called 1923 or such which tells the story of John Dutton's dad and him as he was young ? Sheridan is staying busy with Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor Of Kingstown, 6666 series ...... that's a lot of irons in the fire.

Not at all. As I clearly said in my post, I realize she was the central figure in the story (and a good one). But IMO, the relationship with Sam was forced and a distraction from the overall story.ChoppinDs40 said:
it's like people forgot she was the first face you saw in the opening, and voice... and narrated the whole thing.

Seems pretty clear that one of the main points of the show was to create a deep connection between the Duttons and the land that would become the Yellowstone. Having Elsa die and pick her burial plot on the land certainly advances that narrative.

Loved the show. I had high expectations given the subject matter and I would say those were met and exceeded.
My only nitpick -- and it's a small one -- is that the timing of Elsa's love affairs with Ennis and Sam seemed unrealistic and turned the middle section of the show into more of a romance than an honest look at the journey. In fact, Elsa's whole romance with Sam seemed forced; a too-easy plot device to showcase the native way of life more and keep them from always being bad guys.
I realize she was the central figure in the show, but the focus on her love life turned attention away from the struggles of the wagon train and the immigrants -- which had made the first few episodes so powerful.

I'd agree but I also remember the Crow Indian telling James that in 7 generations his people will come back for the land and James said "In 7 generations they can have it."
Sounds like 1883 is done and there won't be a season 2.Quote:
Any 1883 viewers who are eagerly awaiting another 10 episodes in the life of the post-Civil War-era Duttons will be waiting a long time, the series creator says in a new interview.
"I created this peek through time to show you this one specific journey," Taylor Sheridan tells our sister site Deadline. "I'm not someone who likes to tie everything up in a bow and explain how everyone lived happily ever after, or didn't."
He adds: "On to the next peek through the window," a reference to the Yellowstone franchise's recently announced 1932 prequel spinoff, which will move ahead several decades and follow the Dutton family during the Great Depression.
1883, "for me, as a storyteller it feels close-ended," the EP also said. "I'm going to peek through the window of a different era and see what I see then."
my wife and i both commented wow that was quick when she fell in love with Sam. i think they did a poor job giving us a timeline. maybe it got cut in editing. we'll never know.amg405 said:EclipseAg said:

Agree completely. I thought that they actually did a good job with the first boyfriend… only to turn around and have her feel the same way about another dude shortly thereafter. I think it's a legit gripe. I also thought the show was pretty good overall despite some iffy stuff.
Oh I know. We binged the last 3 episodes up until last night.EclipseAg said:Not at all. As I clearly said in my post, I realize she was the central figure in the story (and a good one). But IMO, the relationship with Sam was forced and a distraction from the overall story.ChoppinDs40 said:
