a) after 4 yellow cards b) the length of the ban is decided by the DFB Sports Court, I believe. Usually just 1 game

I agree, let's skip 2025 altogether!

Bayern 3-2 Leipzig Stuttgart 3-1 St Pauli Frankfurt 2-1 Mainz Hoffenheim 2-2 Gladbach Bremen 1-1 Union Kiel 1-3 Augsburg Leverkusen 3-1 Freiburg Bochum 1-1 Heidenheim Wolfsburg 2-2 Dortmund

Düsseldorf 3-1 Magdeburg Elversberg 1-2 Schalke Hamburg 2-1 Fürth Paderborn 1-1 Karlsruhe Münster 2-1 Ulm Nürnberg 3-1 Braunschweig Hannover 2-1 Hertha BSC Lautern 1-4 Köln Regensburg 1-2 Darmstadt

Yay! Let me know what you think once you watch it...

I think it wasn't reviewed kindly because most people these days do not have the appetite or the attention span required for movies like that - multiple storylines and subplots with a lot of characters that seem to be unrelated to each other (although I am pretty sure they will converge in the future). It is beautifully shot, the landscapes are breathtaking. The casting is spot on, the characters are great, and the storylines are all interesting, and all show a different side of things and events, with multiple perspectives and points of view. The scope is really ambitious, and it almost feels like "a slice of life" kind of movie, with all these people and their tragedies being just a tiny speck in unfolding events. Despite all that, to me it didn't feel convoluted at all; I thought it was powerful, easy to follow, and I wasn't bored for a single moment. Probably my favourite Westerns of all time. Really looking forward to Chapter 2, which seems to be getting much better reviews after the screening!

Yeah, an actor like Costner is always going to be key, but I have to say that Kelly Reilly and Wes Bentley both did incredible job portraying their complicated characters!!! Top notch. I haven't watched Bass Reeves yet... My dad watched the first few episodes, but wasn't impressed, so that kind of put me off. I will probably still watch it at some point, but my list of shows to watch is already quite expansive, so I don't think I will be doing it any time soon Since we're talking about Costner, have you watched the movie he made after leaving Yellowstone? Horizon, Part 1. I really loved it, it's sad it kind of went under radar.

Glad you feel the same about Sheridan's ego trip, lol. And yeah, I completely forgot to mention Colby's death, that was so pointless and unnecessary, and like you said, seemingly only happened to make Teeter move on to the 6666 for the new spinoff show I mean, I will continue watching all these shows too, lol. That's very much a guilty pleasure at this point, but there are some good things along the bad ones, for sure!

Happy birthday!

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.

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!

I claim bragging rights for this

Thank you!
