Title: 1883
Post by: Jack Wagon on January 22, 2022, 08:11:47 PM: A new western on Paramont + is the prequil to Yellowstone. A good old school western with a lot of action. You will see some familiar faces, I like it. Jw

Agreed. The little gal's character a little hard to buy, though. :-\

On the return trip, they stopped in Colorado, cashed in their ticket and bought a wagon and 2 horses and drove them back to Illinois. Family lore says the returned with money in their pocket. I have not seen 1883 yet, but that is a thought.

I did watch the previous incarnation 1883 bootlegged on Movie's on Utube.
I saw all the episodes except the last one, I decided not to watch, as I knew the ending spoilers.

I don't understand how Elsa turns up in the Harrison Ford's continuation, I assume in flashback or narration. :-\

Had to laugh at the season ending of Yellowstone last year when they were taking the herd from Montana to south east Colorado because of the drought ( real world se Co in worse drought than Montana), and they were all wound up about having to live on the range and work the wagons..... Like there aren't ranches, towns and farms all over that part of the world.... LOL
