1883

[doublesharp]

I loved episode 7 but I'm not one to try and find fault when I'm watching obvious fiction. Now if Elsa starts herding cattle on a Kawasaki Mule I might say cool, she's got a time machine

Where did Taylor Sheridan say that this was a historically accurate documentary, anyway? It's escapism entertainment, just a notch or two below a super hero comic book. Guess y'all haters thought Kid Colt Outlaw was real, too.

Better be plenty "Boss of
the Plains" evident or else!

And then some modified to
"Montana Peaks" or else!

Just looked at a series of
still photos from the show.
A lot of those boys need
haircuts.

Well, The Lone Ranger was real wasn't he?

I did like how Taylor Sheridan inserted himself as Charlie Goodnight.

 

[Old Arkansawyer]

Quite a few, what look to be, pure bred Herford cattle in the herd being
driven. First Herford bulls arrived in Texas in 1876 to cross with Longhorns.

 

[BAM-BAM]

Reason enough for me to watch it!

He's cool and she's most pleasing to look at.

110 years later we get Dana Perino........Montana !

Oh man! So many sharks jumped, and its only Episode 8!

 

[Old Arkansawyer]

I see a new series is coming called 1932, about the family during the
great depression.

What we have here is Hollywood applying 21st century liberal culture to a 19th century situation. As I think on it, anything else I might say would be considered racist in modern context so I'll just leave it at that.

I have heard the comparisons calling Yellowstone a western Sopranos. Will this the western Boardwalk Empire?

 

[Faulkner]

1883 showed a lot of promise for a good western soap opera, but I don't think it's living up to the opportunity it had bestowed upon it. Shame too because the cinematography is really good.

Elsa is the "Debbie Does Dallas" of the plains, with her chaparreras and vest done by Yves Saint Laurent. This series started off pretty good and has now turned into ridiculous garbage.

 

[peyton]

Yep, ole Elsa was really rockin the vest!! I recall as a young sprout in cub scouts my mom sat and patiently made indian head dresses for us. The one thing I recall vividly is the bead work and the number of hours to create an authentic (by Texas standards) head dress. Secondly, I remember the smell of going to the turkey farm to get the feathers, what a stench!! So it would be hard to believe that vest can magically be created overnight!!

Maybe it was from his 1st wife that was killed?
I did not like the events in this last episode.

 

[Puller]

Telling her momma, "I'm 18 years old and I know how the world works . . . ." after spending the night on a blanket in the grass with an Indian in 19th century Victorian America. In reality, that Tennessee girl is lucky she wasn't married off at 13 to some 30 year old feller.

I worked MULTIPLE construction jobs before I joined the Army (speaking of place where foul language runs rampant).

I even used to drop F bombs in every sentence. Then I grew up and realized how uneducated it made me sound.

Have you ever heard the saying "You are what you eat"?

You're also what you hear and what you watch and what you read.

I watched part of the first episode and decided I didn't want to be that.

You do you Boo

 

[sigp220.45]

This show has become so stupid I feel my already low IQ dropping with every scene.

Sorry. I was all in at the beginning. I'm still paying 4.99 a month, and soon this show will make me so dumb I may forget how to cancel my subscription.

 

[Kevin J.]

Why, in all the battles and horse chases with gunfights they never hit a horse, not even by accident? Hell it's the largest target on the field.

I also agree it has gotten real soap opera. The best characters on the show are the herd cowboys. The one with the long beard really fits the part looks like a real cowboy, IMO.

Hope the writers learn and adjust in the next season and get back the western cowboy base. A little soap opera drama keeps a lot of people watching but it needs to be toned down. Rather they focus on the strong pioneer mom, less on the rebellious daughter. But hey…it seems like the Dutton men always have a wild daughter problem.

Just saw Elsa drops a running buffalo with a single shot of a .45 long colt revolver and it drops in its tracks. Ok…..

No spoilers but this series has become all about the cute cowgirl Elsa.
