Reply to comment by SQUID_FUCKER in 'Tulsa King' Premiere Review: Stallone Rules All in Taylor Sheridan's New Show by CorporateSympathizer
The reason he stops at the dispensary is because he knows that operating a weed shop has vulnerabilities that make it susepftable to exploitation and protection. Hes a wise gangster and this is revealed as he talks to bohi. I think viewers and some reviews are not getting the pace yet. They want huge returns in the first episodes, but it feels like the writers strategy is figure out how to grip emotions as they go. The violence seems campy for some because he's not really contested when he knocks a dude out cold with a metal mug or punches the air out of a coyboys stomach at the strip club, but hey he probably looks like he could call hit from the bosses back home but wouldn't. Well just have to see if it gets anywhere emotionally. Sly has Golden Globes and Oscar's so well see if Sheridan can get us in the blood pumping cowboy masculine mood even in these changing times. A good artist can create the nasty red tone regardless of whether there are is any trumpish masculine sincerity to question left.

Yeah, I obviously understand why he chose the dispensary, it's just the way it happened that felt a little rushed. With him pointing at the building, asking the driver, 'what's that?' and then going, 'stop there' It just all felt a little random.
