I don't get the Casey narrative. He wanted nothing to do with the ranch, but then ended up taking over a large chunk of his families land to start his own ranch? Am I missing something here? Was it just because he wanted to start something that was his and not just take over the family ranch? I didn't really enjoy Casey's story arch, he went full "anti-Dutton" this entire B season. Only cool part was when he tracked down the hitman. Otherwise they made Casey's character very weak.
I don't get why Casey would give the main ranch to the natives. He should've kept that part with 1000 acres to preserve his families history. Even if he didn't want to live there, he could've left it for Rip, Beth, his son or others to use if they wanted. I hated seeing it being torn down. That part I did not like at all. The Natives would've still had over 400k acres in the deal. So that part was frustrating. Even if Casey was worried about the tax implications on the main ranch, he could've just gifted it to Beth or sold it to her for pennies. Either way, it should not have been torn down.
I did enjoy the Elsa narration at the end. That was nice they brought her back in at the very end.
Now looking ahead, Beth and Rip have their new ranch. They are far away from society and seem happy. What is this potential new show with them going to cover? I think it's a stretch, even for Sheridan. I personally don't think it should be a show. End it like it is and don't continue.
Sheridan needs to focus on 1923 season 3, Season 2 of Landman and season 3 of Lioness. Leave the Yellowstone stuff for another 5-7 years and focus on other material.
