Editor’s Note: Do not read on if you might be triggered or offended by references to auto erotic asphyxiation, don’t want to read about former James Bond actors in villainous TV roles, or read about celebrities who met their demises while in the throes of auto erotic asphyxiation. In fact, you probably shouldn’t read on at all!

Also, “1923” spoilers ahead…

if you thought that the Taylor Sheridan series “Yellowstone” got a bit dark when characters would be driven to the “train station?” For those not in the know, “go to the train station” means getting killed and then uncermoniously dumped at the Wyoming border.

Think that’s dark? Wait’ll ya get a load of the “Yellowstone” prequel “1923!”

Don’t get me wrong. I can handle dark subject matter in TV, movies and real life. But some lizard brain part of me wanted to know what the safe word was when Timothy Dalton’s sinister robber baron character Donald Whitfield ordered a flunky to transport a dead woman (who died guess how) to a territorial “no man’s land” and dump her body there. When the flunky who was carrying the naked dead woman like a rag doll asked if he could wrap the dead sex worker in a blanket, Whitfield said “No, I rather like that blanket.”

What a sick mother f—er!

He then tells another female sex worker, the one who accidentally killed her (guess how), that she’ll need to find a “replacement.”

Somewhere David Lynch is writhing in his grave and wondering why he didn’t go there (wait…maybe he did cover auto erotic asphyxiation)! 🤔

AND IT GETS EVEN BETTER (or worse) – Whitfield orders the sex worker onto his bed so that he could show her the “right” way to presumably, choke out someone else enough to get them to orgasm without killing them in the process. By using her as the test subject. It’s not shown much on screen, though you can hear her moaning in what sounds like ecstasy. Is there a fine line between ecstasy and death? Is there a YouTube video to teach this very valuable skill? No, I’m not going to look!

Where was Whitfield to guide the way when David Carradine and Michael Hutchence reached for the strangulation implements – and other things before they died? 🤔

On a lighter note that has absolutely nothing at all to do with choke sex or safe words – will Spencer and his wife have to spend a whole season finding their separate ways to Yellowstone Ranch? 🐴 🗻 🤠
