They don't need all that land

It's not like they are the last building on a block to sell and a wrecking ball is swinging around.

They are the rich assholes too. And the show has touched on that some, but not enough.

RocShemp

That's why I dig the show. It's like Dallas headlined by JR with no Bobbie serving as a "righteous" foil.

So um is there a werewolf or something on the ranch?

Only Beth can try to kill a chic and then play the victim

MrX

I strained my eyes from all the rolling they did this episode.

MrX

Rip knowing what is going to happen and just letting her walk right up to Beth is so dumb

johnnysd

Beth is sort of fun in a campy way. Would be a horrible person to know in real life though. Rip on the other hand is a psychopath that needs to die a horrible death. Sheridan clearly hates Monica. I was surprised she lived to be honest. I enjoy the show but at the end of the day everyone is just so stupid.

stingermck

Monica's arc in the beginning was so strong too. She knew what being close to the family would mean. They could have really leaned into that. But now either have them close and be corrupted, or send them far away. Trying to do both is awful.

johnnysd

Exactly. The problem I have is I think Sheridan actually feels that the Dutton's and by extension/inclusion Rip's behavior is acceptable by his own real world morals. Clearly he would not do the things they do in real life but I think he sort of views it as the Cowboy Way and is moral and correct. So it is difficult to continue the Monica corruption because he really does not view it as such.

John is the worst Governor of all time

MrX

How did no one in the family know Jamie had a kid?

That was a nice scene with John and Monica. The first time in awhile John has appeared human.

The Beth and Summer reunion in the kitchen

stingermck

Someone else must have wrote the Monica scene with Sheridan took a break.

PhantomStranger

Sheridan has gone off the rails with Beth. Her outlandish behavior has gotten so predictable everyone knew she was about to wail on Jamie in the car. It would have been more interesting if she had broken out into tears during that scene.

Sheridan working on half a dozen shows simultaneously is seeping through

DJariya

Caught up with the last 2 episodes.

The bar fight was awesome and I how Jamie screwed over that girl.

It's interesting that Sheridan cast Dawn Olivieri, who was in 1883 as John's great great aunt, and now she's some mysterious seductress here. I know she has some kind of ulterior motive. She didn't bang Jamie because he's such a charming man.

I also really liked John talking to Monica. John's not as awful and evil as he's shown a lot lately. He can show that he has some humanity. I do like his scenes with Lynelle. They do have good chemistry and she helps lighten him up.

Can't wait for more with Beth and Summer

johnnysd

"With your bi-polar psycho daughter"

John not even reacting to that description: " Well she is not there a lot"

That was awesome. John/Monica scene was really strong.

Sorry not a cowboy. Felt bad for the cows.

Rob V

This show is still fun as hell to watch but John firing every single person on his staff and canceling every single meeting is pretty stupid. I get he has a single agenda... but come on.

I thought it was bullshit, but what she said to Beth is legally verbal assault. Teasing, egging somebody on. She would have gotten bail and allowed to leave state. Unless local judge and lawyer were corrupt also. Bail would have been higher and may have had to post cash instead of bond. The idea is to make not returning to state for court financially punitive.
Probably would have plead guilty, payed a fine, and on her way (in real life).
Remember now, if you say to some guy in a bar, "Didn't know they allowed assholes in here", and he breaks bottle over your head, you're going to jail too because you assaulted him first.

stingermck

Yup, dumb as hell, should be impeached in a week or two

John’s weekly attempt at political suicide is becoming my favorite part of the show.

stingermck

there's no functional government in Montana now.

Monica cracking up about the whole situation was mood. I felt that.

jpcamb

Beth is quickly becoming the weakest link in the show. Her going crazy on Jamie while he was driving over the son was just too much. She dresses like a cheap hooker and has far too little self-control for me to see her as any kind of boss-bitch, that said I came across her talking in an interview and her British accent is lovely and miles removed from this character so she has to be a somewhat gifted to pull off this role.

DJariya

The Beth and Summer beat down. I almost felt bad for Summer getting her ass kicked so bad. The insults and tension at the dinner table that led up to eat had me chuckling.

John canceling all meetings forever. Why did he take this job? I like how his assistant just says okay, whatever you want.

For those who aren’t aware Piper Perabo’s husband is an EP and Director on the show. Likely the main reason why she got cast.

PhantomStranger

I'm fairly sure Perabo's character was introduced so Beth could have another woman to wail on when she gets moody or angry.
