It's too bad they didn't use Ford as the wagon train master in 1883, and kept Sam Eliot as Jacob Dutton in 1923. As far at one of the cliff hangers, I'm assuming Jack Dutton survives being shot at since he's in all 8 episode of the season.
I was a bit surprised they had Elsa Dutton narrating the opening of the first episode of 1923, seeing as she died in 1883. It's amazing what Hollywood can do.
I noticed that intro narration too. Maybe it was a nod to her performance in 1883 which was quite good.
Jack Dutton is in all 8 too. Maybe he gets wounded. Either way a range war between the sheep ranchers and cow ranchers has started.
I’m guessing the sheep ranchers end up relocating. It would be a waste to see all the sheep killed. They were warned though.
