Is anyone still watching 1923?

There is a Buffalo in SD. I’ve been there. And definitely not on the route between Chicago and Livingston, MT.
If Taylor Sheridan wouldn’t have f***ed around with the stupid torture hooker scenes that added nothing to the story he could have developed some of the other storylines better.
Which is why I thought it was misspeaking. In the show when they were in Buffalo, I thought they referenced Wyoming
I kept waiting for the storyline involving the Indian girl to somehow become relevant to the Dutton storyline. Oh well. 🤷♂️
I’ve been under the assumption that she was Thomas Rainwater’s grandmother. But IIRC, early in the original Yellowstone series Rainwater said he was adopted and grew up thinking he was Mexican. So who the hell knows.
It was definitely Buffalo, WY. The woman at the gas station in Buffalo urged them to stop in Sheridan WY, which was about 40 miles away, and take the train the rest of the way. But instead they kept going and ran out of gas near Big Timber MT, which was about 250 miles from Buffalo and about 50 miles from their destination of Emigrant, MT.
Parts of it I liked. Parts of it were mind-numbingly stupid. I would have liked to have a second season of 1883, but I don’t think there is anything left to tell with 1923.
Sheridan now moves his focus to 1944. They will be in the throes of WWII. Presumably the miracle baby was John Sr, who was the father of Costner’s character. He will be 20 years old in 1944. Will he serve in the war like Spencer did?
*Edit - correction, the baby born in the 1923 series finale was John II. Costner’s character was John III.

They blew it. 1923 could have been epoch. The next season should have been the hot blondes together protecting the ranch. I didn’t like Yosemite. I did like 1923
SPOILERS: Some of the most inane and implausible writing in a series I’ve ever seen. The Banner character outcome in the finale was peak schlock. The Native American girls outcome in the 1923 judicial system was horribly unbelievable. The hey I’ll look out the window and by chance see my wife in rural Montana and then casually jump of a moving train and save her. Alexandra deserved better but hey her 24 month old baby survived easily without NICU. Of course Whitfield got his very predictable end.
She is ginger nuts, too. You will get tired if her act after a while. Promise.
I swear to god they referenced Buffalo SD when they were planning their stupid trip. I definitely could have misheard though.
Ending felt rushed.
I sort of felt like for most of the series that Spencer getting home was just the beginning of the war. Nope Spencer gets home, big shootout, lots of people die and that's it.

You know cause spencer shoots THROUGH walls with his ELEPHANT gun.
Such a dumb ending, with wasted story and characters.
I like the way they had an hours long gun battle then Spencer waltzed in with a pistol and took out what, 6 of them by himself?
He's my hero.
He's my hero.
You heard right, but for some reason I was just hoping he misspoke, from Rapid City to Buffalo takes you by Devil's tower...Buffalo is nestled in the Bighorn Mountains.
There was so much stupid I could write 3 pages on it, but one of my favorites is how you have the biggest shootout in the history of Montana at the Livingston train station, and then everybody just gets on board and the train leaves like no big deal.
2 things. Not a very populated area at that time, law enforcement was minimal. Getting the people treated at the next hospital was imperative.
It was perfectly normal for a baby to survive 3 months premature in 1924, before the development of corticosteroids and without any sort of NICU. Especially if the baby was born as the mother was dying of hypothermia and gangrene. Extra cringe points for having the baby start crying to interrupt the doctor as he was explaining that the baby’s lungs aren’t developed enough for him to live more than an hour. It was the Duttonest way for the baby to tell the doctor to stfu. They might as well have had the baby whip his dick out and twirl it around for the nurses.
Sheridan missed a golden opportunity to bring in J.K. Simmons and David Rasche to play hospital administrators.
“Wait, you’re telling me the baby lived?!”
“Uh…yes, sir. We don’t - we don’t quite know how that happened. It doesn’t really make any sense.”
“And the mother lived, right? They amputated her hands and feet and she survived?”
“Actually no, sir. She refused to let us do that and she died during the night.”
“Well, shit. Where’s the father?”
“We don’t know, sir. He left immediately after the mother died to go murder Donald Whitfield.”
“Son of a bitch. Is there any family member that can take the baby home?”
“Well, sir, there is the father’s aunt. She’s 80 years old.”
“How the hell is an 80 year old woman going to care for a 3-month premature baby?!”
“Well, sir, she has a goat.”
“Fvck it, give her the kid.”

Premature baby John lived because he immediately suckled at the teet of a "shooting star" mom, giving him super powers.
For all the hype of building up Spencer as this amazing war hero, hunting lions, tough guy, he just OP's the whole war in 30 min. Even Marvel fans would groan at that resolution.

Meh. Livingston and Bozeman were the same size at the time. Each had about 6000 people. There were about 20 times during that last episode where I just could not suspend my disbelief.
There's suspending belief for the sake of a Sheridan universe, and just bad story telling. This is was the later.
A few years ago, my wife and I had a fun trip crossing the Bighorn Mountains. Freaking May snowstorms.
Nah, I’m just a fan of the Coen brothers.
So, one of the MILFs at the gym asked me today if I was watching the series. We both loved YS, and talked about it a lot. I told her I was burned out on Sheridan, and was going to catch up later. She said it's good, but there was some really disturbing sex stuff, that she skips past when watching. I made a poor attempt at a joke and asked her if they showed Ford and Mirren doing it, and that was what she found disturbing? I assume this is what you are referencing because she said no, it was some violent stuff.
The thing is, it would have been sufficient to show it once or twice to establish that Whitfield is a sociopathic pervert. But it was several episodes in season one and just about every episode in season two.
So, Sheridan doing Sheridan things? He has good ideas for the shows, but he gets so repetitive. How many times did we see Beth shred some guy at a bar?
It probably goes without saying, but the gym MILF clearly is trying to gauge your level of kink. That’s why she brought up the show, hoping you had seen it so she can talk with you about it. She pretends to be bashful and has to fast forward through those scenes. But in reality she wants you to lock her in a stockade-type device and alternate between fingering her and spanking her.
Let us know how it goes.
Yeah this series sucked bad. Took two seasons for two mains characters to get to Montana experiencing nothing but terrible along the way. So many people killed and tortured, but no biggie. Then in the end the tow freeze to death but she's ok. Husband randomly sees her, jumps from the train without a coat like no biggie. An army of guys all stand outside the house in a group against 2-3 guns vs spreading out or even rushing the house. Spencer kills everyone in seconds. Didn't mind Banner coming around, but it felt lacking. Bradford end was too swift and really... all the torture wasn't even necessary. The Indian girl on the run had nothing to do with Yellowstone... at all. And it was comical to see the priest and sheriff somehow be able to ride around the country locating her when they had no idea what direction she went and were days behind her. Just not way they would have found her. I've come to the conclusion that Taylor Sheridan doesn't give a rip anymore. His writing career trajectory looks about like:
