Spencer and Alex’s journey will continue in season 1923 Episode 2 Episode 4, where Zane received a risk-free medical procedure.
These Yellowstone sequels are big on the journey, but not as much on meaningful storytelling.
It was tiring to spend most of 1923 from place to place. Sometimes it feels like we are crazy, but standing at the same time, it’s like we’re traveling on a treadmill.
But before we get into it all, it’s worth noting that we’re with Donald Whitfield and his crew and short films involving Teonna Rainwater.
The intermittent nature of the show’s storytelling brings us all over the world and a plot from 1923 Season 1 back to a completely different state, with little overlapping stories in 1923 Season 2, which is not my favorite.
The show isn’t enough to make every storyline expire. At least in 1883, their focus was on the journey with a group and what they became. That makes a lot of sense.
Honestly, I still can’t tell how Teonna’s story will fit into the main storyline. It seems Teonna is just in this story because she is rain. I’m not even sure how well she knows about Huangshi.
As I mentioned in the 1923 Season 2 Episode 3 review, I think in the independent crossover series, the experience of Native Americans can be better described. Here, it feels frequent.
I like the idea of them having as many cowboys as Teonna, but like Teonna, we’ll spend a short time with them. While I guess the Cowboys stick with each other, there are enough bad apples that they are reluctant to give up on the rewards.
Have we ended our time with the joyful Teonna? Will she be captured and tortured more soon? She may be lucky with Marshal Fawcet, but only time can tell.
Then we have Donald Whitfield, who has money. He can feel it when others laugh at its thoughts.
Personally, I hate people like Whitfield seeing the rewards of creating a ski resort. I’m happy to say that the first Montana resort was founded in 1936 and run by the Great Falls Ski Club, not by a wealthy person.
I don’t know why this makes me so happy, but given the horror of Whitfield, his sex slave and his second flag, it actually makes me dizzy.
It is not my business for people who have a stomach dislike to do an annoying thing. It’s painful to think that this story will continue to pass the Yellowstone finale. There will always be people crawling on the land and trying to put a damn airport on it.
Interestingly, it was introduced early in the Dutton Saga, but showed it was a solid 100-year attack that never lets go. Evildoers may have changed, but every generation of Dudon people may have experienced the same thing.
In a way, this does link Teonna to the bigger story, because we know it will be the land her tribe ultimately recaptured the land many struggled for. Still, the way they tore it all apart in Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 14 shows the futility of Dutton’s century-long battle.
That battle has just begun.
Currently, Zane and his family are paying the highest price. They were torn and condemned for their love outside the game, and their goal was to go to Dutton.
This kind of attack will never slow them down. This will only make them more determined to win on their own terms.
Bringing colleagues Dutton into the battle ensures they are willing to fight Dutton. They certainly won’t back down. After performing severe surgery on his skills, Zane is ready to start the war immediately.
Even Elizabeth, who lets the bad winter bring her against Jack, comes again. Pregnancy will do this for you.
At this point, Taylor Sheridan just screwed us up. He sets Jack and Elizabeth with Spencer and Alex as the boundaries to John Dutton. It’s aggravating the hell, but it keeps fans on their toes, so he knows what he’s doing.
The fighting spirit is in their blood, so whoever does well at the boundaries of descendants as we know it does well and in raising families. As we have seen so far, families don’t always exercise as you expect.
Jacob and Cara, like James and Margaret, gave their meaning through sweat and tears. They are certainly as enthusiastic and loving as their parents.
When Jacob talked to Elizabeth, he worked so hard that he would still be willing to praise him if his inspiring speech didn’t work properly. Those relaxing moments between Jacob and Kara were very good.
At present, things are fine. Spring is struggling in winter, but as long as winter strikes back, Spencer has more time to arrive at Whitfield and the war before the banner.
They are starting a war. They are actually forming an army. Sure, it was a large army of angry shepherds, but if they chose to align with Whitfield, they had the motivation to do anything the flag felt on the pain flag.
The wife of the banner is the difficulty of that couple, which still surprised me. Banner hesitated to support his family, while taking him away from others for a while until his wife urged him to do so.
In this story, this may not be in her favor, but there will always be other people like her willing to stab anyone to improve their lives.
Of course, Spencer traveled longer when the police wanted to use him as a Trojan horse to remove anyone who was buying pirated whiskey. These scenarios go a long way to show that people will easily occupy each other.
If someone makes them feel like a bigger person, always willing to be on the nose of the neighbor.
Whether it’s the police drinking, feeling good to knock down the institutions that use it and make it or sinners, these people are packed with the messy feathered sinners, the mainstream culprit, there will always be someone ready to throw you under the bus for your own (virtue signaling) ass.
It’s great to see Spencer being underestimated by the police and making a joke. He is at his best in adventure mode and while it’s not fun to fight for your life all the time, he’s good at it.
He ran from one bad situation to another. From police to rail, everyone was hit at Spencer Dutton. They can’t be sure his ability in the survival department is worth the pain, and with his frustration, we know Whitfield and Creton will be the first to bear the brunt when Spencer finally returns home.
At this point, he didn’t even know everything he was fighting for because he lost contact with Alexandra, who was convinced and determined to attribute it to Montana.
I shivered and thought of any situation that one or the other did not return, especially because it was most likely that Alex would be missing. She was alone, no one else in the world knew about her trip.
She is writing letters, but I don’t know if she is posting them. I hope she will at least send a letter to Spencer’s family telling them she is coming and Spencer is on his way. Some things tell me that emails are faster than their journey, based only on how often they are distracted.
Spencer and Alexandra both drive the iron river separately, but always together, which is great. Even if they are physically far apart, they will never be far away from each other’s hearts.
My heart longs for romantics until they finally reunite. I long to see how Alexandra feels about the ranch as Elizabeth, or the adventure of embracing it with open arms.
Will Elizabeth try to go to Jack like Alex? If she was forced to stay just because of her pregnancy, I doubt it. Alex will be the real companion on the ranch, though, walk into Kara’s shoes and never let fear drive her.
Will the journey end soon so that we can focus on the family and save the ranch, at least currently defeating Whitfield and his relatives?
Of course I hope so, there are only six episodes left in the season. I need more to satisfy me, not obstacles. And you? Are you ready to let this family reunion and the real battle begin?
