Adding it into my list! I have so many series I like, it is really impossible for me to choose a Top 5. I think only LOST and Dark will always be there, the other 3 spots are not fixed.

Never knew it existed till last week

Soooo, there's a lot to discuss there. Overall, I enjoyed the show A LOT. There's a lot of valid criticism, especially for Season 5 (Part 2 after the hiatus, in particular), but overall, it was a really really fun ride. I think Season 5 really suffered from the change of pace after Costner left, and they kinda had to finish the story faster and differently than it was probably intended. Some people complain about it being unrealistic, having a lot of plot holes, etc., and yes it is true, but come on, it's literally a modern western soap opera, what do you expect?... WARNING TO ANYONE WHO HASN'T WATCHED IT YET : MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD First of all, my main issues/disappointments. Hands down, it's the penultimate episode of this season; thought it was by far the worst and cringiest one in the whole series. You know, where Taylor Sheridan basically decided to spend most of the episode trying to show how cool and important his own character is, and how good he is at riding horses, playing strip poker, and wooing women. Just a complete douchebag with a massive Napoleon complex Related to that, I didn't like the very obvious product placement, resulting in some totally unnecessary scenes or even plotlines - the whole 6666 thing in particular, as it was mostly unnecessary filler material, and once again was just used to promote the upcoming show and the actual 6666 ranch that Taylor Sheridan, of course, has bought with his buddies in real life I thought the whole Part 2 of Season 5 was rushed and not written or executed well, overall. Some of the character development went to shit, too. So all that out of the way, I have to say that I still really loved the finale, and I liked how they wrapped it all up. Thought it was very emotional, and the outcome of almost everything was really satisfying. The ranch and the land going back to the Native Americans was not only what I predicted, but also what I was hoping for, so I am obviously very happy with it, and I loved the little monologue about the land at the very end... especially being delivered by Elsa, from beyond the grave, again, which I thought brought it all full circle. Jamie finally getting what he deserved, Beth and Kayce gaining the freedom to live their lives with their own families the way they want to, not being chained to the ranch anymore, the cowboys moving on with their lives to new, better things. The tribe getting their land back, and saving it from the greedy developers and politicians in the process, so John's wish also came true, albeit not the way he envisioned it. Very satisfying, and provided perfect closure. I think the series, with all it flaws, had a lot of soul, and it was especially visible in all those nature scenes, romantic cowboy life musings, criticism of the modern way of life, and the Native American parts. Definitely my favourite thing about it. Ending it with a Willie Nelson's My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys was kinda perfect!

Never.

There are persistent rumors that a Sainz move didn't happen because there is some beef between the Sainz and Verstappen camps. Red Bull also appear to look for a driver that is either young and can use some time to grow into the role, or a more experienced driver who will accept a clear number 2 role. Sainz fits neither of those descriptions. That's probably why they hung on to Pérez for so long. He was the clear number 2 and the Verstappen camp was happy to keep him in that spot as it wasn't at the time costing Max in the WDC. With Tsunoda, Red Bull appears to have doubts not so much about his driving ability, but about his mentality. They suspect he will easily crack under the pressure when driving against Max and potentially cause a lot of drama within the team. This was reported by Ronald Vording, who talks to Helmut Marko almost every race and is usually very well informed on Red Bull. In any case, I expect Tsunoda to head Aston Martin's way in 2026 when they get Honda motors.

I claim bragging rights for this

Done! Give it about 5 mins.

Was smart for him to play poorly so nobody would suspect he was doping
