As a seasoned gamer of the Yellowstone saga, I’ve seen more plot twists than a roller coaster ride at Six Flags. But nothing could have prepared me for the shocking turn of events that unfolded in Season 5 Part 2.
Following a long wait spanning nearly two years, the long-anticipated return of Yellowstone’s Season 5 Part 2 has arrived. It goes without saying that not all are thrilled about the current state of John Dutton’s character.
With the high anticipation surrounding Yellowstone’s comeback, the pressure was immense. The absence of Kevin Costner left a void, and Taylor Sheridan had just six episodes to bring his epic Western tale to a close. His approach? Eliminate John Dutton’s demise from the equation first.
At the start of Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 9, events quickly gather pace, with no let-up. Beth races towards the Governor’s mansion, where law enforcement officers and medics are already on scene. When Kayce arrives, they both rush inside in search of news about their father.
In the bathroom, John Dutton lies lifeless on the floor, surrounded by blood-stained walls and a gun nearby. His body slumps weakly on the cold, unforgiving ground, clad only in his undergarments. The scene suggests that Sheridan might be sending a message to John, who left him in a difficult position. However, that assumption would prove incorrect – Sheridan is merely dealing with an unfortunate turn of events.
Taylor Sheridan wins this round
To be honest, I was eagerly waiting to point out flaws in Yellowstone’s comeback more than anyone else. However, it seems that Sheridan lacks consistency. He often drops plot threads, neglects certain characters, and tends to let the arcs fluctuate based on his current interests rather than maintaining a steady pace.
Typically, employing this method often leaves spectators puzzled and overwhelmed by unanswered questions. Yet, delivering John Dutton’s demise in such a manner underscores Sheridan’s brilliance as an architect of his fictional world.
If I were a bettor, I would have wagered that John Dutton’s demise would be peaceful and dignified, happening off-screen. However, Sheridan opted for a different approach, employing resources available to him and plotlines previously established.
In Episode 8, an agitated and vengeful Jamie Dutton ponders if his girlfriend, Sarah Atwood, knows someone capable of destroying their family. Essentially, he’s contemplating hiring someone to carry out a hit. However, Sarah, who has been secretly manipulating him for her personal benefits, views this as the perfect opportunity to arrange the murder herself.
To begin Part 2, we find ourselves in the wake of a murder that appears as a suicide. Remarkably, this turn of events seems to align perfectly with what it would look like if Taylor had deliberately orchestrated John’s death from the start. In truth, the solution to the mystery has been there all along.
Justice for John Dutton
I’ve got to say, it’s disheartening to see that not everyone shares my enthusiasm following Yellowstone’s latest episode. To my surprise, some viewers have taken to protesting John’s demise. In fact, they’re vocalizing their opinion that he should have met a more epic end, one that would truly embody the spirit of a gladiator. Unfortunately, it seems many feel his departure was less than satisfying, even going so far as to label it as “bullsh*t”.
It’s disheartening when a beloved character meets an unfulfilling end in a story. However, some responses appear to misconstrue that John’s apparent suicide wasn’t truly a suicide, and even those who grasp this idea may be overlooking the main message.
With Kevin Costner absent, it’s time to conclude this series. What other option did Taylor Sheridan have? (Informal)
He had it coming
Given the constraints on his available resources, Sheridan did the absolute finest job possible under the circumstances. With the main actor absent, there aren’t too many methods for eliminating his character that wouldn’t face criticism from both sides of the fanbase.
Starting with John’s sudden demise, which neatly connected to the suspenseful ending of the last episode, was as impactful and effective as it could possibly be.
Indeed, it’s reasonable to assume that John Dutton would have retaliated, perhaps even anticipated such an event. However, it’s important to remember that John Dutton was not a figure embodying morality and kindness. Instead, he was a ruthless individual, a questionable father, and a self-centered man who could have cost Montana billions of dollars to preserve his landholdings.
On another occasion, someone attempted to take his life, but didn’t succeed. In the final episode of Season 3, an assassination plan targeting the entire family left John lying on the road, severely wounded by gunshots and unable to call for help. He fell into a coma as a result, teetering precariously close to death, but eventually managing to pull through.
If his fate had been this one, there’d be less dissatisfaction among people. To put it bluntly, what truly infuriates you isn’t that he’s deceased; rather, it’s the fact that you weren’t present when he met his demise.
And that, my cowboy-loving comrades, wasn’t Taylor Sheridan’s choice.
Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 10 airs on November 17.
