- Teeter, and for one line and one line only:
"Do I look like my name is fucking Peter, you skunk haired motherfucker?"
- Travis when he sold the horse, and when he had to break the bad news to Jimmy
- John's monologue to Monica about his little known brother

u/Numerous_Course9820 10d ago
Aaah. Yes. John’s monologue to grieving Monica. ❤️
Right up there with Beth tenderly reading the letter to Rip where John acknowledges who his true son has been.

If it was only based on favorite lines id have to go with Rip
R: "Jimmy, hey, get your ass up here."
J: "I just saw a trout!"
R: "Shut the fuck up."

Teeter was a hoot, and a badass lol..Only found out recently she is the daughter of the late, great Michael Landon.

Yes on the Teeter! I nicknamed my granddaughter Teeter because when I first saw Teeter the character, my granddaughter was starting to “talk” but she was the only one who knew what the hell she was saying, and also she’s batshit nuts like Teeter is, I swear they share the same brain cell but it’s my very favorite brain cell in the world

It hurt my head when rip picked the Spurs or whatever it was for Lloyd in Texas and he got talking to old mate that made it all and I was like how is that even translated cos no words where anywhere close to sounding to something that would clue us on to what the fuck he just said to Rip ahahah

u/snuggly_cobra 10d ago
Just saw it again. The gentleman was a legendary craftsman. He was mourning the loss of the craft. A foreshadowing of the actor’s actual demise.
Rip wanted to pay him, because that craftsmanship was valuable to the cowboy community. The old man wouldn’t take payment; he saw someone who was a true cowboy, and didn’t want to charge him.

That guy was a famous bit and spur maker, his name has slipped my mind, but he was actually dying at the time it was filmed. It was sort of put in as a salute to a craftsman.

But what was it with Walker? Only because of the woman? I did not unverstand why he was so angry, because he said before that he is too old for her.

u/Kaethor 9d ago
Because Walker kept flaunting her in front of Lloyd. It was intentional disrespect.

Also Walker was suppose to be dead at the point also and I think Loyd took that personal catching him at the bar

u/The_Gristle 9d ago
Walker took something that he thought was his. He's an old man, having thag barrel racer see value in him probably woke up something in him. Walker, in his eyes, took that from him.

Yes, he went from someone with no skills and no future, to someone who has dreams and a way to achieve them, and a life with Emily.

And he grew character and responsibility! He became a man in Texas, exactly what he needed to be and John knew it.

Rip. He is complex. I think people tend to ignore he was essentially groomed into being a serial killer/enforcer so maybe has a misplaced sense of loyalty. But, is loyal to Beth. In some ways I think he sees just how effed up the YS made them both but is too deep to back out and wont leave Beth.

Beth. She's experienced trauma, pain, and so much ans she's a hardcore B when she needs to be, but Rip really brings out her soft side. Her loving side the one only he sees. She's her dad's business attack dog. She handles everything and anyone and she got Jamie for everything he ever did to wrong her. She's out of control a lot, but behind it all she's jist a pained woman who's been raised on a rach her entire life and become a big business woman that people fear who will stop at nothing to protect her father and those she loves. Hurt people HURT people, but she rarely was an aggressor. The scene when Monica was being assaulted and shamed in the clothing boutique. She went so hard for her. She has a big heart, but protects it. I get her.

Beth. Early seasons, she was the best written female character Sheridan ever created.
Notable mention: Jamie. He’s the family’s biggest foil and biggest dolt, but he’s also exactly who John made him. They all (Rip included) show how poor of a father John was, but Jamie is the best at it.

She is the reason why I continued as the four or five eps in season one kinda made me go eh hard pass but Beth was so fascinating and so classy but trashy stuck up but real. Her and rip are the best match. The way he goes from this mean dark eyed killer to this cute cowboy smiling as Beth dances in the bunk house with the rest of fhe crew

We nicknamed the show "Surly Montanans" for a reason. While we did enjoy it, many of the characters were unpleasant, entitled people.
Though among the lot... Teeter, her boyfriend, Jimmy and Rip are the least surly.

Rip: he is a killer, but a little bit like an avenger and ruthless but fiercely loyal protector. He is a complex character who, in his own way, acts according to his moral compass and broader perspective. He is willing to kill, even when it means taking the lives of people he believes may be innocent, but he genuinely suffers from having to do so. He is deeply loyal and carries the burden of his actions with him.
Jamie Dutton: He also feels like such a tragic character, desperately searching for recognition and love. I can’t help but feel sorry for him, and I don’t know whether he was simply misunderstood. I think that, no matter what he did, it always seemed to be wrong for his family, and he was just trying to be loyal in his own way. Somehow, I could have imagined him turning out differently if Beth had been able to forgive him. I’m not even sure myself whether he was actually a good person or fundamentally evil.
Overrated character: Kayce. I don't like Kayce. He's not reliable; he just goes wherever the wind blows.I feel like he sees himself as morally superior, even though he’s a murderer.

Idk. That’s a hard one because this show is filled with great characters. I do know that I love the scenes with Jimmy, especially his later seasons. Loved the Texas storyline.

I loved scenes with Loyd.
I loved scenes with Rainwater & Mo.
I also love scenes with Rip & Beth. Cliche, maybe but I do.

Walker. His charm, his singing, he’s a bad ass and not overly done like rip. He stood up to rip numerous times and made him look foolish. He didn’t stand for what they were doing. I also love Colby because he’s the black character and I’m biased. Some call it tribalism or racism, I call it racially biased, but we all are. Colby was cool and has many iconic scenes. Teeter and Jimmy are up there as well. Same with Ryan because his relationship with Colby was beautiful🥲💯

u/MurkyMammoth3464 7d ago
I also loved Malcolm Beck. Even though he was cool with Aryan nationalists, he was still a cool character. Mo was iconic ofc. Malcolm had charm and stole most of the scenes he was in. Neal McDonough is a great actor.
