The Weep of Surrender

This episode had its moments, but turning it into a soap opera really dragged it down. This girl doesn't take long to get into these instant relationships does she? Not to mention that this guy is a Comanche for Pete's sake. In historical context that relationship is so far beyond ridiculous it's hard to take it seriously. On one hand you've got a very caucasian, very blonde girl with modern day values, and a dark skinned native Comanche hooking up, falling in love, and pledging their lives to each other in a matter of hours. Let's see. What does that remind me of? Woke sensibility doesn't necessarily translate to good entertainment and in this case it failed tremendously. Get back on track with what this show was supposed to be about.

This show supposedly takes place 140 years ago, that much I can accept and I really like the show. But I don't like at all is the attempt by the writers to bring this show up-to-date with modern times.

Children, no matter if they were 18 or not, would never ever in their whole lives, have even dared to think of speaking to their parents in the way that Elsa spoke to her mother in this episode. The children would never even consider the idea of treating their father (especially if they are folded, is one like Tim McGraw's character) the way that Elsa supposedly three turbulence 140 years ago. The blatant disrespect for parents, delegation of being an adult when you turn 18 and your parents not having a say over you anymore, and the claim to be a woman and accordingly you pick yourself up... that is all 21st century garbage and it would absolutely never have taken place in either the circumstances location or time period that the show takes place in.

I do not like when period pieces forget the period that they are setting and unfortunately for this amazing show that I dish completely forgot that this was 140 years ago. Unfortunate.

This was my least-favorite episode of the series, thus far, but it was also one in which important decisions were made. It was also the first time that I found Elsa, beautifully portrayed by Isabel May, to be annoying. She displayed a sort of naïve arrogance.

Definitely the weakest episode so far. Even though the ending was intense and moving, focusing the entire show on Elsa is not a very good move, it is becoming too much of a love story. I hope Elsa will back off a little and let the other characters flourish.

People are criticizing the fact there are horses with bridles amongst the mustangs. HELLO! They're all horses and horses that got loose during the tornado have joined up with their brethren.
