Poor Joseph though, he lost his hot wife and now has to build a shelter all alone with one leg.


I like though he was continuing his dream and we him going out to stake his claim on the land he wanted.

I also with the 2 cowboys would have ended up with the them at their new ranch. Not to mention 30 head of cattle would have been a nice way to start off.

Crazy that out of all those immigrants, only 4 survived.


Sort of expected with the way it started but was still surprised with only one making it to Montana and 3 making it to Oregon.

As annoying as Elsa’s fake accent was. I still didn’t want her to die.

I’m sure she’ll be prominently featured during flashbacks in season 2.

shite, they could do a prequel to the prequel to show life in Tennessee and why they left.

Terrible writing. Fort Caspar was abandoned 16 years before this took place.

I personally loved how all the Indians in this episode were fat fricks back in 1883.

Kicking Bird been eatin good.

You’re telling me the wagon can’t keep up with Tim walking his horse? His whole reasoning for going ahead was they wouldn’t be fast enough? What an awful reason, what if they got up there and she lingered on for a week or two.

Overall a pretty damn depressing show

You can make it over rougher Terrain on horse back and possibly more in a direct line, where a wagon may have to take trails around the terrain.

We also learned that the 10 episodes spanned a period of 6 months.

The downvotes speak for themselves, but they very clearly explained this.

Overall I thought it was a solid finale. The only thing I wish we could have seen was Thomas and Capt. parting ways.

I’m glad she’s gone. Don’t need her narration . And she became a frontier whore.

fwiw..Yellowstone is named after the color of stone on the side of the canyon the Yellowstone River runs through.
What a beautiful picture, scenery is breathtaking. I bet with all of the shite contaminated rivers in other states that Cowboys had to drink out of, they musta thought they were in heaven drinking out of a river like that. Lol

I’m glad the series went the way it did

SPOILERS















Idk what was supposed to be so amazing about the girl. I’m not normally this guy but I just flatly didn’t care for her and didn’t really give a damn what happened to her. I of course felt sympathy for her family and for her for enduring death but I’ll never understand why someone like Sam Elliot’s character appreciated her so much. Sure she was all “wild and free” and that’s wonderful I guess but more often than not she was completely reckless and made terrible decisions. I just don’t see it

Anyways, I wasn’t real happy with the show midway through the season but It started and finished well so I look forward to the next season

Also I believe it said 10 months passed before showing Josef with his crutches. Somebody really should get the man a fake leg. They had them then, they were crude but they existed……

Q- are we to assume Elsa’s husband was dead too, and that was them in the afterlife or was it her envisioning what the perfect heaven would be?

I kind of think it’s like the LOST ending where everyone dies at different points but they eventually all end up together

is this really the ending of the series? IMDB shows a season 2.

Also, we don't see the part where Tim shows up at home with a gun shot wound.

After the credits, there was a splash that said " The Dutton Story will Continue in the Fall". If they are referring to a season 2, or another show, I don't know. I assumed a season two.

she reminded Sam Elliot's character of his wife/children/etc.

made him appreciate life again and had something to live for. reminded him about his commitment to see the coast.

makes me wish though that he would have gone back with the Dutton's or his friend, instead of dying on the beach. but they did it well enough i guess

The Captain’s soliloquy to Dutton symbolized her as the “young, adventurous free spirit” that drove people to experience life while on the move to a new home…that itself a symbol of stability, putting down roots, tampering down the restless, adventurous spirit. The girl, he said, “outloved, outfought, and outlived every one of them” up until the end…then her burial spot became the stake that started the Dutton turf in Paradise.

With her death and burial, the transformation of the Dutton family from an adventurous, westward-moving group without a real identity (but changing with everyone they met) was complete. From here on out they will be shaped by the land, locale, and their travails to hold on to and expand it all.

I hated that the Captain took his own life the way he did, tho. While it’s sentimental, I think they could have done more with who he was.

Agree 100%. Didn’t make sense to me. Came all that way, endured all that he had endured, and just offs himself when he gets where he’s going.

He made it known quite often that he wanted to go out. However, he stated that he will get to the coast to show his wife the ocean, through his eyes. That ended his journey, two-fold....to Oregon and his life.

Even though i want to see more of Sam Elliot in season 2, the captain killing himself on the beach was the only way for his story to end.
