‘Landman’ Fan Shares Jaw-Dropping Theory About The Season 1 Finale

Billy Bob Thornton

Spoiler alert... well... sorta. Not really... but kinda. You'll see... It seems like just yesterday, Taylor Sheridan was wrapping up his flagship series Yellowstone, and introducing fans to his latest television smash, Landman. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Ali Larter and Michelle Randolph, as well as a few Taylor Sheridan regulars like James Jordan and Robyn Lively, Landman is a riveting look into the world of big oil in West Texas, something that most of us probably know nothing about. Which is sort of why I find it interesting... we all use oil and gas products every single day, and probably in WAY more ways than we actually realize. Billy Bob's character Tommy Norris actually has a great rant about it early into Season 1. Of course, big oil and energy is always part of political conversations, whether it's in regards to the environment or foreign policy. Hell, most people think many of the United States' wars, especially in the past 40 years, have essentially been fought over oil (although Emily L. Meierding's book, The Oil Wars Myth, disputes this commonly held belief... it's an interesting read). Many also think the US is so heavily involved in Ukraine right now as part of a decade-long effort to undermine Russia's energy dominance in Europe. And yet, most of us have no idea how the oil and gas and/or mineral rights business works. And don't get me wrong, you're not gonna learn it from watching Landman, but it's a Hollywood peek into the industry... which, like I said, I just sort of find interesting. But with the Season 1 finale just hours away, set to premiere January 12th on Paramount+, one Landman fan thinks they might be on to a bit of a spoiler. Landman fan @newYOLO shared this possible "season finale leak," so keep on scrolling if you don't want to know the glorious ending: "Landman and the boys all wake up and eat their fruit bowls then throw them in the trash and decide to go to the strip club to see some morning strippers and get Pop-Tarts and canned raviolis. Landman's wife and daughter are already there with all the old folks by the time Landman and the boys arrive. The quarterback chickened out so Taylor Sheridan comes in on a horse to save the day and they go on the stage and spin in circles, visible in some portion of the screen for the entire episode. While the horse spinning continues the cartel come in to kidnap Landman's wife and daughter but get so annoyed by them that they decide to just stay and watch the horse spinning instead. Landman's son comes in and convinces the strip club owner and cartel guys to invest in his oil company, they point out that he does not have an oil company, but invest in his idea anyways because they can tell that he has the making of a proper landman. Horse still spinning, we see mean lawyer lady and heart attack owner guy come in and tell Landman's son that he cannot do an oil company because they are the oil company people here, but the cartel guys kill them both, and Landman and his son become the two largest oil companies in the world. The screen fades to black, but you can still hear the sound of a horse spinning in a circle." I mean... sounds pretty spot on. Admittedly, I like Landman. Is it going to win any awards? Nah, but it's a lot like Yellowstone in many ways, but instead of ranchers and cowboys, it's about oil. It's a far-fetched, overly dramatic, soap opera for men. I wouldn't quite say I've reached the level of "hate watching" it yet, but there's definitely some corny writing. And the creepy stuff with his 17-year-old daughter is pretty nauseating. As the father of a young girl myself, their highly sexualized conversations makes me shudder with horror. Men, pray for your daughters... continuously. Nevertheless, this "spoiler" gave me, and a number of other Landman fans, a good laugh. The comments were almost as funny: "You forgot to mention that Taylor's schlong is bigger than the horse's which is evident while both spin." "So the weekly dinner scene traditional is over? I’m actually surprised here." "It just feels.....legit." "The only thing you skipped was Gator's restaurant delivering the pizzas to the strip club. Teeter was the delivery driver, and she got into a cuss filled catfight with Ainsley and Angela." "Be great if TS stops spinning long enough to shoot the cartel up from horseback with an M-60 in one hand, a grenade launcher in the other and the reins in his teeth." "This spinning horse. Is there a topless Taylor Sheridan on it, flexing his HGH pecs for the senior women from the home?" "There has to be tier one bearded special forces guys in there somewhere." "Will the Latina single mom whip up some spicy dishes for dinner?" We'll know soon enough... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zxh49-bsIk
