re: 1883 started today (season long thread, spoilers)

The whole Comanches being friendly and trading with whites is extremely inaccurate. It’s well documented that among all other tribes, the Comanches were the some of the most violent and refused to cooperate with the whites and other tribes.

Yes as the settlers move west and claim more of their territory.

His mention of Quannah Parker was accurate

I have more of an issue with Sam saying he had to stay and help his people fight for their land when in 1883 the Comanche were only living on a reservation. Quanah Parker a decade earlier surrendered and with the remaining few thousand Comanche left moved to the reservation at Fort Sill. So Comanche were not still roaming the plains and attacking people.

There may have been a few Comanche running rogue with bandits and whatnot but for the most part they were little worry on the plains.

That last episode…….man……the ending with them saying goodbye was nearly enough for me to quit watching

That was wild. It took like 2 days for Elsa Dutton to get to same level of Indian as it took John Dunbar many months to get to in Dances with Wolves.

Bitch was conversing in perfect Comanche in 48 hours.

Possibly more impressive than the Germans that couldn’t speak English in Fort Worth, all of a sudden had an opinion after a few days on the trail.

Really good episode. Best of the series IMO. I don’t see this going more than 2 seasons though.

Not sure if the cook is a good guy or a bad guy.

He’s clearly the only person there who knows how to survive on one of these trips. Keeps clear or ahead of tornados, Indians, and bandits. Have to respect that.

But the cook is clearly out just for himself. He’s going to protect himself and his wagon first and foremost.

We also have a pretty good idea how the ranch "Yellowstone" will get its name.

With a spoiler warning, can you splain this?

****SPOLIERS****















Upon realizing his daughter would die from the arrow, Dutton told his wife the they will make home at the place that Elsa dies so she can be buried with her family instead of a grave on the trail.

Well, since Elsa has Yellow hair, it seems pretty obvious what the ranch will be named when she dies presumably in Montana.

We get to see how the opening scene of Ep 1 played out after Elsa was shot with an arrow.

I almost wrote a post a couple of days ago because I couldn't figure out why she was in her dress when it happened. She had put on jeans, chaps, and an Indian vest and I didn't see her going back, at least on the trail. I got my answer.

If the arrow nicked her liver, she’d prob have some significant internal bleeding on top of possible infection.




ETA: was this the finale or is there an episode 10?

So, is this the season finale? How many episodes are there?

Edit***

There’s at least one more

I'm trying so hard to stay locked in. The story has so much potential.

I'm easily entertained but the blond hair and brown eyebrows, the Dances with Wolves bullshite, and the laziness on the historical stuff has me not wanting to continue. Its a show written for historical retards and those that ignore the obvious... and hair colorings. I've watched all 9 episodes but I'm not proud of it.
