There is a lot of filler this season

• all of the rodeo stuff is just Taylor Sheridan boosting his ego. Most of his scenes are cringeworthy and while interesting I have no idea what the point of the rodeo or horse reading is beyond what we see on screen. There is not enough depth of content to make it interesting
• the Indian mysticism takes up a lot of time and does not make sense to the story
• separating the children detracts from the power of the family on the ranch
• Jamie has become a waste of time on the show. Still trying to figure out how his real dad set up the attack on the family only to have Jamie discoverer he is adopted when he looks for his birth certificate. I guess he never needed a passport or a real ID license.

• after all that Beth has done for John and all that a John has done to others - John kicks Beth out of his life because some one night fling got suckered by Beth as part of a plan to save John's ranch? That is the dumbest thing to happen this season.

Beth is by far the best written character on the show. She's a loyal and fiercely loyal to those she loves. She's so much better than some fans realize because they refuse to see past the book's cover. You miss a lot of amazing stories that way- I'm speaking literally and metaphorically here. Everything has a weakness. Everyone has a button installed that can fracture our lives and break our hearts. Usually it's the people you love the most that know where they live and how to push them because they are who installed it. Beth has had an amazing arc, and I literally felt sick when John pushed hers. This season is definitely a slow burn with too many tie ins, but damn, it feels good to FEEL SOMETHING ANYTHING, and the dinner scene between John and Beth accomplished it. Books open. Reread the first chapters, and I promise you that the cover will melt away.

Sure blame the writer , oh wait blame Travis , no wait blame Taylor Sheridan for poor writing for season 4 to be concluded in season 5 , seems people want shootouts and mayhem weekly , after episode one the show became a late night soap opera.

Now for the real picture in this episode , fine writing as usual , thank you Taylor Sheridan , each episode depicts the wholesome image how ranching is , families appear to be really fighting , talking crap about one another . Life in the country is just as hard as in the city .

Trusting and surviving and realizing that family can really be a major pain in the ass. Everyone serves a purpose including the wolf.

Kelly Reilly is a ticking bomb and yes the old man can't control her actions , they had two squabbles one for breakfast and then one for dinner, she is losing it.

Finn Little's charactor had a sudden change and appears to be human after all and he learns to ride a horse and take all the ranch hands money in 5 card stud.

Jefferson White to me deserves some kind of award , actually a Sag for best supporting actor in a limited tv series. His portrayal of Jimmy is amazing , from the beginning until now this guy's charactor seems to get it . Also he takes some great shots of history with his camera .

Ruby's Cafe from last week filmed in Missoula ,Mt , was set in Belgrade just outside Bozeman , so anybody from Missoula , don't be upset or confused.

Kevin Costner bumps into Will Patton , just could imagine during filming ,wow its been 33 years that they acted together in No Way Out.

Last of don't forget Luke Grimes is on the top of the hill for four days and four nights no food no water , maybe the Wolf may walk on by with a beer.

The Jimmy stuff is somewhat interesting, but this was always a side character. He is getting way too much emphasis and I don't understand why. There's other characters I would prefer to see explored more.

It's nice that there have been additions to the kind of songs added. Having a few lines from John Moreland's "Break My Heart Sweetly" mad me think that there is someone in the crew who knows music outside of that Blackberry Smoke kind of lightweight stuff. There was even a bit of Jason Isbell's best song, "Cover Me Up" a few episodes back. There is some talent hiding among the production crew, not not so much among the writers. The writing is pretty bad in this series.

Jimmy's story has at least included a few lines of humanity from Taylor Sheridan's character, Travis. Travis has been an unlikable character so far in the whole series, since he is such an arrogant, snotty braggart. He actually spoke a few kind words to Jimmy in this episode. That probably won't be repeated or Travis' character will have to be rewritten.

This first thing that I notice about this episode is that nobody sees that big John Dutton did anything wrong. A Sheriff is dead and it's all hunky dory, not even an admission of any wrong doing.

And a protestor is getting 15-20 years for assaulting 2 cops? Ok whatever.

The Jimmy 6666 ranch side story is becoming just a way of showing off fancy horse riding. The kid side story is becoming more and more bizarre. And of course the singing cowboy is always got a chip on his shoulder. This is mostly a daytime drama shown in the evening.

Despicable, worthless creature. This terrible, tedious episode has, once again twirling horses, sad sack Jimmy, little drama, despicable Beth not caring about anybody except for 3 people ( what kind of people champion this character makes me shudder ) and cow hands playing cards. Big whoop. One of the worst lead ups to a finale. Gets one extra star to see Beth's face crestfallen and crying. Well deserved.

Used to love this show but it's been on a slow spiral and this is the end of the line..

The story is so full of holes it just becomes farcical and all we are left with is beautiful landscapes and some good lines that are wasted on characters that have just become one dimensional.

If they didn't walk into the diner then maybe no one gets shot...it's not clever writing just looking for the big moment that always falls flat.

Why would Summer assault a police officer just because she is told to. What difference does it make anyway. Why throw out your daughter now, it's not the worst thing she has done.

Kayce is just left out in the wilderness at the end which seems apt.
