Yellowstone's Finale Fell Flat, but They Steered Clear of Wokeness

Paramount Network via AP

Let me preface this, I'm a huge fan of Yellowstone and all the various franchises. Also, this is full of spoilers so if you haven't finished the series, stop reading

I've watched 1883 more time than I can count and I'm anxiously awaiting season 2 of 1923 in February. The characters all feel like friends. My Dad and I would watch it together before he passed and I'm so sad he didn't get to see it wrap up. I had to sit with the ending for a bit because I was disappointed initially. I wanted the family to stay together and find a way to make the ranch profitable. I always thought it would go to Tate as a compromise since he was both Dutton and First Nation. I'm glad he did get to keep a piece of the ranch, but it isn't the same. I was most sad about Lloyd going off on his own and seemingly not having a home anymore. 

My sadness about the ending had nothing to do with believing the show went 'woke'. I think it was a hard ending to craft because Kevin Costner left the series before it was over and they were kind of out of ideas of what to do. There was way too much filler in the last episodes with all the horse dancing and raunchy parties at the ranch in Texas. That was more disappointing to me.

People who watched 1883 saw this ending coming from a mile away. The Indian Chief that gave the Dutton family the land to bury Elsa, said they could have it for seven generations and then the land would be returned to them. Time was up.

It's fine to acknowledge tradition and leaders of the First Nation made it clear to their young people they were not to desecrate the graves of the Duttons. They sacrificed for the land, as well.

The government was trying to take the land from the Duttons. It wasn't the First Nation trying to get it back (although they wanted it back, they knew they had no way forward without working with the Duttons). The government was the ultimate bad guy. They were going to inheritance tax the Duttons into the poor house and then take their land by eminent domain. The government was the evil entity wanting to develop this land the Duttons had protected for generations.

The deal was the ultimate middle finger to the government who was attempting to steal land. It was perfect. If you really want to be 'anti-woke', your reflex should be to distrust the government every time. If you want to be subversive, encourage individuals to own land and not corporations. That's how you rage against the machine.
