As a dedicated gamer of the Western genre, I have been eagerly awaiting the return of “Yellowstone” for months now, with bated breath and a heart full of anticipation. The recent Season 5B premiere has finally unveiled the fate that awaited John Dutton, though we are yet to delve into the details surrounding his demise.
Major spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched the Season5B premiere of Yellowstone — here’s how to watch — so be warned!
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel like an extra on the set of “Yellowstone” as I eagerly await more insights into the upcoming episodes. Though the exact number of series left and whether a sixth season is in store remains a tantalizing enigma, one thing is clear: The long-awaited first episode after 22 months has shed light on the burning question hanging over the final Season 5 episodes – how will the Duttons’ tale unfold without Kevin Costner?
Riley Utley from TopMob recently interviewed Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly from the hit show “Yellowstone” before its upcoming return. During the conversation, Kelly reflected on Rip’s departure for Texas, suggesting it was a scene worth rewatching in light of the new episodes. They also hinted at Beth’s future journey south to reunite with her man. This discussion prompted Kelly to discuss the upcoming half-season featuring more flashbacks than normal, which has sparked some intrigue. Here’s what she shared with us:
In Taylor’s series, time-travel is a recurring theme and flashbacks are frequently used. However, in this season, these flashbacks aren’t from the distant past but rather from just a few months, weeks, or even days before the current timeline. This can make following the storyline a bit challenging at times because it jumps back and forth. While we haven’t experienced it yet, when filming, there were questions about how the audience would keep track of where we are in time. But this element adds an exciting twist to the show, making it an intriguing moment for viewers.
As a devoted fan, I was thrilled beyond belief to finally discuss the intriguing aspects of the new season without any restraints, as all details surrounding John’s role were tightly guarded secrets until the episode’s release. Consequently, during that time, it remained a mystery to me what the temporal setting was for the flashbacks I mentioned, and how crucial the time gap between six months ago and the day before truly was.
After viewing the first episode and realizing that the narrative unfolds simultaneously in two distinct timeframes, it becomes crucial to pay close attention to the timeline details. Given that “the day before” presumably refers to the day preceding John’s demise, doesn’t it?
Will Viewers Actually See John Dutton’s Death Play Out?
In another words, it seems likely that the response involves elements of both ‘yes’ and ‘no’, and is contingent upon specific details about how John was treated during Sarah Atwell’s visit in “Desire Is All You Need”. If the death scenario had been more straightforward, I might expect that single shot of an unidentified body on the bathroom floor would be the last reference to this event during this season.
Given that John’s fate was shaped by Jamie’s foolish thoughts, Sarah’s relentless drive, an enigmatic assassin group, and Beth and Kayce’s doubts about the claimed suicide, it seems crucial for viewers to learn what transpired during John’s last day or night. It might be challenging without Costner present, but it would offer a more satisfying resolution than just seeing an anonymous corpse after all the recent previews showing John’s face prominently.
Is it possible that if not for providing additional understanding about John’s death, there might be another compelling reason for Yellowstone to exhibit a flashback of the day preceding his demise? In other words, perhaps an event takes place in Texas that warrants either worry or jubilation.
Cole Hauser offers some tips on employing flashbacks effectively this season, and hints at how working at the Four Sixes ranch adds a visually striking twist to the storyline (without revealing any spoilers).
You must pay attention [to the flashbacks]. . . . I mean, it opens up with a bang, for sure. And it’s cool to see a different place too. Texas is its own animal on its own. So it’s a really different look for Yellowstone.
As a gamer, I could really use less of those intense Texas-set scenes with characters being attacked by scorpions. If the creators are open to suggestions, perhaps we could explore new territories and avoid these venomous encounters?
On Sundays at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, you can catch the hit series “Yellowstone” on Paramount Network. Only five episodes remain in this season’s fifth run.
