Thank the seven gods for the Tale of Iroh
I didn't believe the reviews that it's crap and had hopes that maybe there is a new interesting sci-fi franchise being born (finally, right?). But my oh my! It is a pile of crap indeed, unfortunately.
The story itself is very "second hand", fights are weak and not believable, ears of the Star Wars & Dune are sticking out from everywhere, and - oh my freaking god - so much pathos in slow-mo it's unbearable. I don't know how they didn't eat soup in slow-mo too.
Oh yeah, and don't worry he didn't forget woke agenda too. The main protagonist is a very strong female lead, the party is very inclusive and all the bad guys are white men. We're good on that side.
Can't wait for the second part! (nope)
First episode looks like crap.
Beth is extremely annoying. Beck brothers definitely went too easy on her.
With this episode they went full on with the woke trash. In addition it was excruciatingly boring. The only skill the Hollywood hacks has nowadays is to take a show with potential and totally ruin it... every f... time.
My first thought when finding a fire extinguisher in a burning building is to use it to actually extinguish some of the fire, but not Michaela, she'll use it to break a lock, then throw it away. WTF! Olive tripping while trying to leave the club was cheesy as fuck, too.
WTF, they butchered the characters and the family dynamic. Is it too much to ask to have a family that isn't totally f***ing dysfuncrional on TV these days?
You can easily skip this episode. There's absolutely nothing going on in it.
Am I the only one who is irritated by the silliness? The whole town evacuates, 30 people. Big ass war ship with dozens of fighters, easily defeated by a small ship and transport. Radar, never heard of it. Defenses, never heard of it. Somebody shooting from above, if only we had rockets on our backs.
This is really the a-team/macgyver equivalent of Star Wars. Low quality entertainment
Damn, it took till now to show a gay scene. Really surprised it wasn't within first five minutes of episode 1.

Do yourself a favor, read the wonderful world Tolkien left behind instead. Many interesting stories and lore Tolkien left for us, only to be forgotten.
Man, Saundor gave off a lot of creepy vibes, almost like an animated Vecna from Stranger Things.
Also, if I could regain my strength by stimulating myself I’d be so happy.
Somebody. Please. For the love of God. Kill Beth Dutton.
This episode felt a little meager for an episode close to the end of the season.
Monica has to be the most annoying, aggravating character in recent TV history. She’s a damn buzzkill every episode. Always annoyed with every member of the Dutton clan. Was back on the ranch a day and is already wanting to leave. Her storyline/character development is pretty bad. She has zero value to this show, even if they cut her now she would not be remembered by the next new episode, that's how boring I see her character.
The reveal of what Jamie did to Beth better be mind blowing because I've had enough of them beating around the bush about it.
Black vikings? Never seen that before
[Netflix] As subtle as a reggaeton song. A road-movie that does not move from the same place, stretching the excesses with unnecessary flashbacks, determined to construct supposedly impressive dialogues that are actually road bar phrases. It offers a message of denunciation that is lost between tits and buttocks, a cynicism that claims the empowerment of women while it brings her to her knees.
Every 3 minutes something goes wrong, every 5 minutes the mom has a solution, every 2 minutes after that the problem is solved. Rinse-repeat.
The dialling down of the violence and darkness that made earlier seasons so good continues here, and it's a shame.
Maybe it's a result of Sheridan taking on too much with the amount of spin-offs in the chamber now, but I get the impression this is an intentional gameplan to make the show more accessible to a wider audience. The end goal? Serialization. Everyone complaining about the show becoming too "soap opera" has hit the nail on the head - I think that's exactly what they're aiming for now.
What would I like to see in the second half of season 5 - Beth to die at the hands of Jamie, or by his order, and the resulting fallout. John, Kayce, and Rip have all become somewhat complacent since season 4 - all for different and very valid reasons - and Beth's murder would light a fire under each of them, ushering in the return of characters that made this show so great to begin with.
Bring back the unapologetic Yellowstone we loved.
4 episodes in and I'm still unsure if I like it or not. It moves along at snail's pace. Bass Reeves doesn't believe in wasting time talking, so he doesn't say a whole lot.
Update: Watched episode 5 and that's me done... can't take it anymore
3/10
MODERATION EDIT: Be respectful.
I'm not feelin it. From the opening scene where the girl discovers her superpower via her period to the bulimic shrinking girl the show has all the creativity of a bologna sandwich. Forcing current teen issues into storylines to make it seem relevant and topical. The same as "The Boys" and "Supergirl" went. Television writers who force pablum on viewers like this should have been left on the Picket lines and Studios should have hired more intelligent and less sensitive, less emotional and less fragile writers. It's a wonder they can get any writing done at all since I would imagine they rarely leave their apartments and spend most of the time crying over "mean" people. I think that not every form of entertainment needs to be a lesson to society and should not be a form of social justice. They are just perpetuating the stereotypes of the depressed, anxiety ridden teen and the cruel, cruel world they think they live in.
Come on use some imagination. As soon as someone has power, the first thing they want to do is destroy the world/universe/everything. That’s just boring.
So the Dutton ranch is basically just the mob and I love it. Rip sticking up for Jimmy was great. It feels like some plot points aren't being fully fleshed out but overall this is a good show so far. Also poor Tate keeps finding himself in danger lol.
Worst episode by far and is every character in a show these days homosexual?
Too much hype and too much feminist content. Good way to waist half and hour of our weekend :nerd::ok_hand:
So, the casting is on point and some of the visuals were decent but overall this felt very average and I have no desire to watch any further. You're better off just rewatching the original show.
This season was way less what if? And more captain Carter saves the multiverse. I’m not mad at it but just give the character their own show and stop hiding it behind the what if tag.
Get more crazy with the what if ideas in the next season please.
Please kill Debbie off already, I can’t stand her moping.
