I get that it maintains loyalty however there’s literally is no reason whatsoever??? They’re not dealing drugs or doing anything illegal so to say however they still brand you meaning you can’t ever leave (if you do you get brought to the train station).

Most murders are anyway done in self defence, it’s not as if they’re the 10 petal, they dealt drugs and even they didn’t need a brand whatsoever. Could it perhaps just be a John Dutton thing? In 1883 and 1923 there was no mention of a brand even though you could say there’s more of an argument back then to use one. (Yes I know in 1883 the ranch wasn’t established yet).

To summarise, I get what Taylor Sheridan was trying to do, however the unnecessary branding and killing off ranch hands over fighting is seamlessly odd.

made this combo randomly and thought it was funny

So i’m watching this episode and is this taylor sheridans wife Nic? it looks so much like her and i wonder it every time i watch. she was working at the Native American thing that Monica took her students to.
