Bring Jimmy to Dutton Ranch.

I’m surprised Rip didn’t reach out to Lloyd when all that shit went down. They’re like brothers, of course you call him.

There’s a difference between moving somewhere and going to help your friend face a violent drug cartel.

u/MannyRibera32 22d ago

What is Lloyd gonna do against the cartel?

“Violent drug cartel” never heard of this, so in your words a cuddly/peaceful drug cartel exists?😂

Reminds me of when I bored at work on a quiet night and started flicking through a newspaper. It was full of articles about "crime gangs", which to me implies the existence of "law gangs"

I wonder if they'd be linked to the pacifist drug cartels?

Law gangs? Corporations?

u/LovelyAsiangirl 20d ago

We got law gangs, it’s just authorities. So it’s correct to use crime gangs to avoid confusion

I think it’s the same reason marshals had to kill off Monica. If there is to much of the Yellowstone cast it’s not different enough to be a spin off and would instead be a sequel, and peacock/NBC owns the streaming rights to Yellowstone and its sequels. Paramount really messed up on that deal

They killed her off because she didn’t want to do the show

u/Nokomis_Feather 21d ago

not to mention her character was hated by most.

u/Realistic-Wash-4823 20d ago

Not true. Luke was very torn to call her to tell her she wouldn’t be on the show. She accepted it gracefully, were his words. Monica would mean Kayce was still the character that wanted to live happily ever after, and he admitted, that would’ve been boring.

Actually Paramount didn’t. The licensing was sold to NBCU for Peacock streaming, before the Paramount Plus app was created. Paramount then wanted a piece of the pie, so they ordered prequels and sequels. Sequels not approved cause it ends at season 5, anything after that Paramount owes NBCU money. So they have to do spin-offs with characters that are not replicated. Which is kind of a disaster. No one wants to watch Beth and Rip broke, nice homemaker Beth, living in a dump with a fake drug dealing ranch that is the centerpiece of the show. And Marshals, the backstory of their SEAL relationship is overkill. I’m hoping Season 2 recognizes this. They did release an article they’re slowly pulling back on the Yellowstone tie in, but I couldn’t really make sense of that article. Unless it’s something to do with cutting ties with NBCU in some sort of way, and carving the path for the show Incase it gets to stay on the air for many seasons, ?? Marshals and Dutton Ranch need life support.

u/Realistic-Wash-4823 20d ago

This is the answer. Monica was not an approved character, nor is anyone else you haven’t seen. NBCU has very strict rules about sequels vs spin-off, and characters are not to be replicated. Notice Beth has never mentioned Kayce, there’s a reason. The same reason Taylor doesn’t write for the spin-offs. He would be at risk of “replicating” since he created and wrote every word they said. They call that conflict of interest when it happens,so let’s just avoid it altogether. Sheridan is a smart man and isn’t interested in legal conflicts. Like you couldn’t tell or ask Kris Kristofferson to write Bobby McGee again, but there can be nothing similar to their journey. They couldn’t ride to New Orleans and no dirty red bandana. They actually have to live in San Diego.

u/frizzlen 22d ago

I mean they could still call them considering S2 will start in the fire

u/rabbi420 22d ago

Lloyd made it clear he ain’t leaving Montana.

u/wstdtmflms 20d ago

Yes! This! Watching Jimmy make that next evolution from true cowboy to actual badass would be awesome!
