"I feel like I got run over by a Prius" Beth Dutton, Yellowstone

[444 Magnum]

Did anyone see the cat fight on Yellowstone last night?

The family dynamics/social interactions of the Dutton family were on full display.

I kept waiting for Rip to say, "There's no fighting on the ranch...if you want to fight, you'll have to fight me."

That would have been interesting.

 

[rkwood]

Yes. Last night's episode of 'Yellowstone' was perhaps the best episode ever. Great writing, classic Beth scenes and lots of good cowboy stuff. The wife and I absolutely loved it.

I'm sick of Beth, a psychotic, bitter, drunken hag with a superiority complex. I'd like her to spend about 30 seconds with my ex wife and Beth would be running home, crying!

I thought it was a great episode, and it was about time for Summer and Beth to go tete a tete with each other. I was semi-surprised with the martial arts moves Summer used a few times. I wonder, with what Beth told her to do while everyone was out on the ride (walk around the property and learn about them), and the fact that Monica is also staying behind, will Summer learn what she needs to know to make her blend in better and maybe mellow in her environmentalist frenzy?

One question for viewers, unrelated to the show content: was your episode 5 in widescreen or 6:9 format? Mine was in 6:9. like watching an old-style TV. All the rest of this season's episodes, as well as the previous seasons, have been in wide screen. It's not my TV, I tried changing the format, and it didn't change the picture.

I really like the show and have watched it from the beginning, but a little of Beth goes a long way and her role has been too concentrated lately. If someone would find a subtle way to take the Beth character to the
train station, it might improve the series.

I thought the girl in the bar was going to the train station for sure. She was very lucky.

Hey, no hating on Beth, she the best character on the show! I really like the dynamic between her and Rip.

After 4 seasons I wish Kaycee would get a shave and a haircut and show more than one emotion.

Best regards

They haven't jumped the shark yet, but the show is definitely on the surfboard paddling out.

I blame the Beth-o-sphere for it. Enough of the fake-tough "I'm the tornado" stuff. If she took that many punches to the face she'd be a black and blue mess getting more than one tooth replaced.

It was bad enough the season when she somehow made a conjugal visit appointment with a prison lifer to kill him with her magical hair comb of death (which was rendered invisible by her hotness) and then somehow left unconjugated because the lifer (who had absolutely nothing to lose) chose not to conjugate. C'mon man!

I still like the show, but its starting to get that Walking Dead stayed too long feel.

Having participated in a "punch-for-punch" contest I enjoyed the knock down catfight much more. I bet the wife Beth would win, she don't know much else. That show is so popular because everyone thinks: "That's the way it should be." Joe

Currently my favorite show. Maybe because some gets what's coming to em. Cat fight was good, but not quite up to the horse trough scene.

FWIW, I think the sharks are already in the rearview. Yet I keep watching anyhow. I swear, if they don't take Jamie to the train station this season, I'm going to have to do it myself.

As far as the California girl in the bar, she got off light. I can't speak of Montana, but here in Tennessee there are a lot of bars where if you said something like that to a man's wife, you'd quickly find yourself in the floor bleeding out with no chance at all.

I think Summer will eventually come around. Or at least get to a point where she can accept the opposing point of view. But remember, her job is to explain to John how the other side thinks.

The person I felt sorry for was Gator. He was just trying to serve supper and it was obvious how uncomfortable he became.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Great show. We watch every episode. Have first 4 seasons on CD.

 

[SMSgt]

Beth got run over by a Prius? I feel badly for the poor Prius.

 

[CH4]

Better than a trip to the train station

The Duttons mistake was settling
in western Montana.

They could have become the barons
of Miles City and no one would be
trying to take their land.

Heck, they could have had all of
North Dakota too.

 

[wood714]

It was probably my favorite episode, next to season 3 episode 2.

When or if Beth leaves the show, I won't watch it anymore.

My mom hates her.

 

[UncleEd]

Jamie is the pivotal danger
to the Duttons and Beth
in particular.

I found it interesting that Jamie only had one scene in the episode, where Sara comes in and lets him know he's compromised himself professionally by their little locker room tryst, then starts stripping in his office. That's going to be interesting, to say the least. I also wonder that they never show his private life, where does he go after work, where does he live now that he sold his ranch after killing his biological father, and most importantly, his baby mama and young son. They only seem to show up to get something else started.

I agree that Beth has become too much of what she is. Maybe this fight scene with Summer, along with everyone's reaction to her and Summer's conversation during dinner, and Rip setting the game rules for the smack-down, is a means of toning her down for a while, at least.
