brake alert: This contains spoilers from the movie’s 5th season premiere.Yellowstone”, which premiered Sunday, November 13 on the Paramount Network.
Yellowstone is back, and John Dutton (Kevin Costner) wins the governor’s race. But don’t worry: he absolutely hates it! The position is entirely in the service of preserving his family’s land, despite the efforts of Market Equities and all the enemies the Dutton family has made along the way.
Along the journey are John’s children: the famous Beth (Kelly Riley), who rides or dies for the family; Weasel Jimmy (Wes Bentley), who is neutered by Pete’s extortion after he murders his biological father; and Livestock Officer Case (Luke Grimes).
This season’s epic double-episode opening left us with many burning questions and loose thoughts, which are outlined below in real time.
Episode 1: “One Hundred Years Is Nothing”
* Has anyone had such feelings about being elected as a Governor like John?
*John is not in any way interested in acting All From the people of Montana. At least he is honest when his opponent, whose name I believe, Mr. East Coast Liberal Venti Latte, invites him to abdicate.
* Is Jimmy the slightest moment when everyone ran out of the campaign war room to celebrate and turned off the lights on him while he was still there? embarrassment!
*Beth Death stares at Jimmy while the scraps are falling off..how did that not directly puncture his head?
* Shout out to Caroline Warner (Jackie Weaver) as she tossed not only her glass in disgust but her entire liquor bottle as well. she very crazy!
*Is Jimmy stupid enough to work with the stock market now? His family will be very skeptical about anything he has to offer.
*Young Beth has expertly played Kylie Rogers. Maybe Taylor Sheridan’s next project should be Gossip Girl—inspired by the tiny house.
*The big romantic scenes with Beth and Rip (Cole Hauser) are great, but…Rib right? It seems that Beth has apologized several times in the past. Everything is good! Let’s look to the future.
* Random idea: if Chris Pratt dressed up as a rip for HalloweenWhy didn’t his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger wear Beth’s clothes?!? The fashion opportunities are endless and, frankly, more attractive than A fairy garden. And yes, before everyone else gets upset, the fairy outfit is in the park I was Bound by their two adorable children, whose costumes were a butterfly and a bee. But let’s dress these kids up like Lil Jimmy and Lil Dutton Governor and we can All celebrate!
*Beth’s sentence “Vodka makes me happy”…is this finally the season when the Duttons drunk have to get help getting drunk? This is a very frustrating line in the context of a “finding your happiness” conversation!
* Honest question: Should Casey and his family participate in their own show? Beginning last season, they looked increasingly out of place in the ranching and political intrigues of the main show. Maybe just give him a “Walker, Texas Ranger” – an innovative show where we get to know more about his family, his law mates and the real laws of livestock agents. These vignettes—like seeing these borderline healthcare-loving, free-of-charge Canadians abandon jurisdiction because U.S. prisons are notorious for cracking down on lawbreakers from our crime-loving neighbors to the North—look increasingly half baked.
* What was John’s handicap when he was asked to recite his name? Haunted memories? Underlying medical issues? stage fright?
*Judging by this swearing-in ceremony, Jimmy’s best way to move forward in politics is simple: wear. a. big. Cowboy. hat.
* Totally here for Jamie and Beth bickering. His grumbling “we’re all going to jail” is one of the best lines in the episode.
* The driver is very sycophant outside the gate. He would definitely betray the Duttons.
Welcome back, Teeter (Jennifer Landon)! Your cool accent steals every scene.
*Shane Smith And The Saints’ performance is a good reminder that “Yellowstone” has one of the best alternative country soundtracks in the game. He appears Official Spotify playlist full of cigarettes.
*All this Talking Nero…a way to kill the party vibe, Rip!
* What a terrible car accident! Monica (Kelsey Asbille) seems to have the worst luck of any character on TV. She just can’t get enough rest!
* Monica lost the baby?!? And they named baby John?!? Heartbreaking!
Episode 2: “The Sting Of Wisdom”
*Brecken Merrill does a great job in a claustrophobic scene as Tate struggles to get out of a car wreck, as well as his subsequent shock and hysterics while searching for his mother.
* Send a pin to 911 with your location… Very smart move, Tate!
*Things are getting heavier…let’s check out the tasseled Rip patches and oversized belt buckle.
* Perhaps Chief of Staff Jim Roberts should have introduced himself to Governor Dutton earlier in this transition…
*Goodbye Jim!
*It’s fun to watch John get confused once he realizes that his dream of having Ron Swanson for the Forever Backward Meetings won’t get him anywhere politically.
* Ouch, Beth! Her catchy words about parents to Jimmy… YES!
* What a sad episode! If you need some emotional rest, click here A collection of pictures of dogs dressed as cowboys. Yellowstone Farm might not run efficiently if they were in charge, but how beautiful is it?!?
* While the cowboys try to fend off the wolves around the farm, John tries to fend off the political wolves. Allegorical alert!
* Market Equities’ new secret weapon, Sarah (Dawn Olivieri), looks like a Beth impersonator. Oh, the battles they will fight!
*Ah, Jimmy is going to fall in love with Sarah, right?
* Don’t worry, valet character with just a few lines: borrow Beth to drive the car I was very baffling.
* As if this episode wasn’t tragic enough, should Rip shoot a horse? jeez!
* It never occurred to us that we’d see – Examine the notes – mountain biker Trying to hit Beth, but good luck!
*Ah, nothing quite like Beth’s classic five-degree burn. Magnific!
* Another Yellowstone Special: Go up to someone and punch them in the face when they ask, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
* Rip’s intimidation and manipulation skills are unmatched. Although none of his schemes this season can match Put a poisonous snake in the cooler, shake it and throw it in the man’s faceDriftwood fulfills a very clever wolf collar scheme.
*Maybe this isn’t the vibe they want to achieve, but will John join his new assistant Clara (Lily Kay)? He likes younger women, but that would be too much. Related Topics: Will he formally pardon the protester that Samar (Piper Perabo) has left, or will she be allowed to sit in prison?
Phew! That’s it until next week. In the meantime, check out diverse‘s Season 5 previewincluding interviews with Hauser, Riley and Bentley.
