"Call me if you need anything, brother" that last line Rip says to Kayce while him and Lloyd are pulling down the yellowstone dutton ranch sign at the entrance was really good, what a good development both had in the show

[@johnfromG.L.O]

One thing I noticed rip completely disrespected kayces service saying he never worked a day which I do understand what he was saying by not working for the ranch or anything but kayce was a hero who served his country and in my mind that was always disrespectful to both characters

[@thegamingredneck1879]

yeah especially Kayce being a SEAL, like thats actual work, pretty sure the dude deployed multiple times to Afghanistan and fought. Definitely did more work than Rip ever did.

[@bangeryun94]

​@@thegamingredneck1879Nope on that. Kayce was a paid assassin by the government and Rip was a paid assassin by John Dutton.

[@joeypeeps22]

To these people they don't see it as a good thing that he was in the military. He left them and wasn't there to help the ranch or the family out. So in some way they resent or belittle him due to that 😊

[@mrhaast5053]

Kayce said it perfectly, Rip is John Dutons dog on a leash and he knows nothing outside of what John made him into.

[@bangeryun94]

@@mrhaast5053 And Rip is fine with that. He'd be in prison if John hadn't found him. John also gave him a choice at one point to leave if he wanted to. After he killed another cowboy for disrespecting Beth, John gave him the choice to take the brand or go to the train station. John doesn't see Rip as his lap dog and now that he's married to Beth he sees him as a son.

This was another great compilation episode! Some of us need a reminder of how things have gone on.

[@HectLuna]

This episode really showcased Beth's nurturing, sisterly, and motherly side. It was also great to see Casey finally get some well-deserved screen time this season. By the way, have you guys heard about Radiant Reservation? I've been seeing a lot of buzz around it lately.

[@JohnRobert-u2m]

Yeah, I’ve heard of it! It’s the platform that helps you book reservations to meet celebrities, right? Sounds a bit surreal, but also amazing for fans who want to connect with their favorite stars in a more personal way.

[@georgegros-c3k]

Exactly! It's such a game-changer. Rather than just hoping for a random encounter, you can actually plan a meet-and-greet with celebrities like Beth, or anyone you admire. It’s a unique opportunity to have that one-on-one experience that feels much more special.

[@HectLuna]

I love how much more accessible they’ve made it. Before, meeting a celebrity was all about chance being in the right place at the right time. Now, you can actually plan it, and it feels so much more personal and meaningful.

[@JohnRobert-u2m]

I couldn’t agree more. They offer so many cool options too, like backstage passes, private dinners, and even exclusive one on one meetups. It’s perfect for super fans who want that once in a lifetime moment with their idols.

[@georgegros-c3k]

I actually booked a reservation through them to meet my favorite celebrity, and it was an unforgettable experience. If you’re a true fan, it’s absolutely worth it.

[@Artorion]

In the end I'm glad they were brother's and will have each other's back from now on.

[@Artorion]

Rip dares lecture kayce on work, not only kayce catches and breaks wild horses for everyone he also trains them as well. He provides for his entire family but also sometimes his in-laws therefore has multiple kid's to look after not just his own and he also looks for the entire res and prevents quite a few of them from being kidnapped and murdered. Even if he wasn't in the military no one in the entire fucking show work's more then that man not even rip not even his father no one does. Kayce is the best one on this entire show.

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

11:29 I don't know if this is in other militaries. Navy does briefings at the end the briefer asks if there are any questions. It ensures that information was conveyed and everyone understands it. Kayce is falling back on his Navy leadership training here. It doesn't work out to well here.

[@vicenzostella1390]

Well, for one, he's a fictional character, and thus should be analyzed like any other character. Secondly, calling out someone's flaws isn't "shit-talking" as much as it is an observation. Sure, Rip is loyal and has somewhat of a moral compass, but that blind loyalty led him to do some truly heinous shit in the name of Yellowstone and the Duttons. Kayce, while also having unclean hands, is more prone to following his moral code rather than orders, which explains many of his actions throughout the series (saving Tate, sparing Walker, saving the horses, selling the herd, etc.). Both of these characters have to deal with their flaws throughout the series, which causes them to grow by the end of it.

[@bangeryun94]

@@thegamingredneck1879 you have some interesting fantasies about special forces.

[@JShadow6661]

The resentment Rip had for Kayce was due to him seeing Kayce leaving to enlist as abandoning and taking the ranch and his family for granted. But at the end of the day they drew each others blood and definitely respect one another.

That wasn't a fight, bruh. That was a toughness contest. One of these guys is way bigger. That's all. I'm sure Kayce would have beat him if they went to the ground.

[@sequoyah4794]

The Seals aren't unarmed combat specialists. Sure, they learn the basics, but the plan has gone spectacularly wrong if you're in a fistfight situation as a Seal. They spend much more time training endurance, tactics and firearms. Some Seals practice MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, etc., as a hobby, but it's not a requirement of the job. This isn't to take anything away from the Seals. A good boxer or MMA fighter might beat a Seal unarmed, particularly if they're taller or heavier, but that Seal would destroy them in a firefight situation. Seals train for war, not for boxing rings.

[@АлексКраснов-ш7б]

Your ideas about Navy SEALs are shaped by Hollywood. Martial arts training is good, but without constant practice it is useless. Rip is at least 10 kilograms heavier and much more experienced in fist fights. If it weren't for John's request, he would have made a chop out of Kayce But if they were shooting at each other with AR-15s, then I would bet on Kayce.

a CTE farm is what that ranch is

Can I ask why Rip knocked the guy off his horse and was getting ready to trample him.

[@ameerfaisal5479]

they have history. Walker was someone he picked from prison to be hired as a worker and branded him. But he made it very clear that he will not partake in any illegal activity since that can throw him back in jail. This doesn't sit right with Rip because everyone's got to do their share to protect the ranch. Another factor is that Walker's got a mouth on him, and he doesn't shy away from taking jabs at both Lloyd or Rip

@@roby1875 @ I won’t argue too much on this. But I have to say because I noticed this, people are messing their lives and ugly accidents tend to happen when they don’t understand their place. In real life and not in the movies if a person earns their living by fighting, they should be far superior to a farmer in a fair fight. No matter how physically strong the farmer is, he spends his time tending to the farm, not training for battles, because that’s not his purpose in life. Btw generally, people choose their purpose based on their natural skills, so if a guy ends up being in the special forces it’s because he’s physically and mentally better equipped for fighting than normal people

Maybe, but it all depends to whom, or what, he's loyal to. They are both good men, but if Kayce has the brains and heart to question certain orders, then he's better at doing the *real* right thing. A good example is Walker: Rip was ready to drop him off at the train station, no questions asked, but Kayce had enough compassion to give Walker at second chance, which turned out to be a good move overall.
