I was born and raised in a small west Texas oil town. Billy Bob reminds me of several men who spent their lives in the oil fields. Some of his "sayings" are right out of west Texas and the oil patch. So his character is very real.

The rest of the show, not so much.

Episode 7 won't be liked by people that appreciate good writing, and the storyline shift leaves me scratching my head.

Seemed like a filler episode.

I enjoyed the episode. It definitely feels like theyre building towards Jon Hamm having a stroke and the company being in a limbo with the $300 million dollar deal in the balance
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Angela's character is seriously starting to get on my nerves. It goes far beyond unredeemable. They try to mitigate it some with the old folks home scene, but it didn't work. Need to pull her character back into the galaxy of normal.

Rebecca is just a smoke show. The last scene seems to be taking a turn where Cooper is about to try to burn down the company.

Once the lawyers saw him there going over the documentation, Coopers ass needs to be fired.

Not really. People always ask someone else to go over the documents for them. Even other landmen or someone in the industry. It happens a lot.

BBT getting a call from the cartel: "now you wait just a god d*** minute. If you so much as touch a hair on her head, I'll be frying your f cking cojones in coyote grease and I'll feed em to your wives for breakfast while they celebrate your deaths because they don't care for your sorry asses in the first damn place."

Cartel: "Senor, why do you utter these threats when we have your pobrecita. It is us who call all the shots, comprende?"

BBT: "I'm gunna need proof of life, need to hear that she's ok and you and your hombres haven't hurt her."

Cartel man hands the phone to an armed guard while he ungags her mouth. The armed cartel guard holds the iPhone close to her face.

bimbo daughter whose name I don't know: "Dayahddy these mex cans got me in a rayel dirty barn or sunthin. I'm so skay-errd. Please tayel Mama not to worray."

BBT: "you're gunna be ok, sugar. Just do what they say and they won't hurt cha."

I'm trying to decide if this show is more stupid, less stupid, or the same level of stupid as Yellowstone.

The ex-wife is the most detestable character since Janice from the Sopranos. I cringe every time Ali Larter is in a scene. The accent is just so bad.

In real life, that son's girlfriend would weigh 250 lbs. I'm surprised they didn't go with an actor that was at least an average looking person.

Lawyer chick is good.

Yellowstone was legitimately good in the first season or possibly 2 seasons. Then it got full of itself, had insane fans who wanted everything Beth and Rip turned up to 11 so Sheridan delivered fans what they wanted +spread himself thin with other projects +nboigh a famous ranch, became a quarter billionaire, feuded with the shows patriarch and decided to just drop his nuts all over fans and critics by showing them just how much he could do whatever he wanted because it was his show. Quite the roller-coaster.

Landman started as an unmistakable caricature and continues to be one. I'm enjoying it for now but I also know and am very comfortable with what it is, which is TV porn. Similar to succession. I wasn't into that one after 2 seasons and it'll probably be the same for me here.

Some of the writing is over the top but not as bad as Yellowstone (so far...and I stopped watching Yellowstone a couple seasons ago). It's worth it just to see BBT, he's been awesome. I was impressed with Demi Moore's drawl in the few lines she spoke in the recent episode, she got it about right without overdoing it. I'm sure her character will become more prominent soon.

Now I know in this show anything can happen when the mom or daughter are on it but the old lady in the old folks home telling the daughter she should be on all 4s with the QB at this time was even more shock value than I expected from Sheridan. Well I guess earlier in the show she asked for a dick in her face. Golly, do all grandmas talk like this one or just Sheridan's?

Also laughed at the national guard showing up the same day Monty talked to the governor. Dang that was fast work. And them doing some random blasting blew up a cartel van. Go figure.

Can someone who has worked in the oil fields explain why they were using a metal hammer on a metal wrench vs a rubber mallet? To me that seems like a "duh" kind of thing especially when working around natural gas

Should have been using Brass Hammer. Brass is non sparking

nobody really uses a rubber mallet for something like that, like the above said, they would be using brass to not make a spark

but they would probably also use a cheater pipe or a longer wrench instead of whooping on it

but also there wouldn't be that much pressure in the line because otherwise they wouldn't have to pump it out of the ground

so yeah..... don't dwell on the little things

If you just accept that nothing is going to be realistic, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more.

Rebecca needs a little lesson in manners and basic human decency. Her ego is out of control. But then this would be a boring show.

I don't have any thoughts about the second part but as soon as they had Monty go to the hospital I figured they were setting him up to die before the end of the season. Demi has basically been a background actor this season, that would be an easy way to get her to take his place in season 2.

No one acts like that in real life. But it adds drama to the show

I can assure you, there's no shortage of accidents envolving hands doing something they know they shouldnt be doing (including ignition from steel hammers). The accident itself is not unrealistic. Where it occured or what they were actually "working" on, perhaps.

Sheridan wanted the pump-jack as a backdrop (iconic imagery) and seems like he wanted to use a runaway well for the accidient itself (also iconic imagery). Does'nt change the fact that people have been, and will continue to be, injured or killed by scenarios very similar to the one he put on screen.

8 episodes in and Sheridan hasn't made an appearance yet right? Anyone want to take guesses at the role he writes himself into? I assume he will either come spinning into a scene horseback or be some national guard officer. I'm surprised he wasn't the helicopter pilot at the end of the episode.

No appearances, but the 4 6's have been in the background at the bar each epi

He'll be White Sicario when the daughter is kidnapped.

Ok nothing has really bothered me about this show until the national guard shows up and starts setting off HE on private land, within a few days more or less.

Any military exercise especially a live fire one takes months of planning and even longer to certify a live fire range.

Saw that too and laughed. I'm a near 20 year reservist and we can't plan a day at the range without 3 months lead time. He made a call in the morning and had a national guard unit called up, outfitted, rolling, and on location by the afternoon? lol. The 82nd would have a hard time pulling that off.

Still enjoying this show, but yeah, that was pretty insulting to most peoples' intelligence.
