Desire Is All You Need

I have been a fan of the show, this ending is not my favourite though. While they put RIP in texas when he should be where the drama is, there is some truth on conversations had. Not only when RIP talks to Dustin but also to the cowboys. It makes you really think about what society has done and will continue doing to the environment! While shows normally don't have that much meaning, this one is true on why people should support locals and take care of the environment. Making me happy to watch this episode and enjoy it. Not saying that should matter but it does help spread the word to wake people up.

...this episode has some serious narrative/editing issues.

For example, it really made me dislike Beth. Kelly is an immensely talented actress, but this episode takes her character over the edge. She was an incredibly strong character from the beginning with some quirks, but this episode just tares her down to a child and I don't understand why they made the decision to edit the episode the way they did to make her seem this way.

The narrative and editing are just clunky. Incoherent at times. Rather than to serve a purpose, it seems mainly there because they couldn't figure a good way to write of Costner's character. Hopefully it just lasts an episode or two.

First, they committed what, for me, is the cardinal sin. The beginning of the episode revealed a later event in the episode, and then we got one of those "some hours, days, months or years earlier" things before the show started. This technique has become so overused that I just want to scream when I see it happening.

As for the episode, it was pretty weak. I hope the rest of the series will be better, because I hate to see such a quality show go out with a whimper. Maybe if they hadn't tried to spin Yellowstone off into several other shows the team wouldn't have been too burned out to produce a dignified end to the show that started it all.

The magic of the show was generated from the ranch itself. Wasting time with the best characters on road trips is getting old and boring. We don't want to see Rip and the gang in Texas on a campout we want to see the place that is the reason for the show, and we want them all hanging out together. Driving around, and long drawn out shots of herds and riders is getting repetitive, and the show can't get by on flashes of what we fell in love with. This seems like yet another show that can't cross the finish line without falling over its own feet. The last couple of seasons have been the same recipe and it's just not as delicious as it used to be.

Way to drop the ball. This was like a low grade series that writers used a bunch of scenery, landscape shots and cowboy ranch scenes just to fill the time slot.

The acting was off and so was the overall vibe of the show we have become accustomed to. Even Beth's acting disappoints. Like the end. Seriously what was that.

It was a waste of an hour. Did the writers change or something. Like I know that had to deal with a writers string but that sure took their time coming back with the conclusion of season 5. If this is what is to be expected for the rest of the show I'm checking out. So disappointing. It truly sucked.
