I’m pretty sure even Harrison Ford is weirded out over this 1923 Season 2 plotline. Taylor Sheridan’s pulled off some wild storylines before, but this one might just take the cake. Even for a show packed with drama, grit, and old-school Western chaos, this particular twist feels like it belongs in a whole different universe.
Ford has played some rugged, no-nonsense characters in his time, but how does he keep a straight face through this? That’s the real acting masterclass.
Even Harrison Ford knows Zane’s 1923 recovery makes zero sense
Pretty sure Harrison Ford is just as baffled as we are about 1923 season 2’s most absurd storyline. And who could blame him? Zane Davis (Brian Geraghty) just walked off a brutal brain surgery like it was a mild headache, and even the show knows how ridiculous that sounds.
Let’s rewind. At the end of 1923 season 1, Zane was beaten within an inch of his life, and things got so bad that he needed brain surgery. Without anesthesia. (Yeah, let that sink in.) Dr. Miller (Mark Daneri) literally drilled a hole into his skull to stop a brain bleed. That should’ve put Zane out of commission for weeks, yes? Nah.
Within minutes, my guy was up and walking like he just shook off a rough night out. By the end of episode 6, he was back on security duty at the Yellowstone ranch, ready to throw hands like nothing happened.
Even 1923 itself couldn’t ignore how wild that was. In season 2, episode 6, Zane actually says, “A week’s long enough to heal anything.” Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford), likely speaking for every confused fan out there, shoots back: “I can’t think of one thing that can heal in a week.” A self-aware jab at how completely unrealistic Zane’s recovery was? Absolutely. At least somebody in this show has a grip on reality.
What makes it even worse? 1923 already proved it knows how injuries actually work. In season 1, Jacob got shot several times and spent months recovering. Meanwhile, Zane survives a medieval-level medical procedure and is back in action in seven days. The math ain’t mathing, Sheridan.
But this isn’t just a “Zane has Wolverine’s healing factor” issue. It’s a symptom of 1923 season 2’s pacing problem. Some plotlines (cough, Spencer’s endless detour cough) are dragged out to infinity, while others get fast-forwarded like Sheridan’s trying to speedrun his own show. If he’d just let the story breathe, maybe Zane’s recovery wouldn’t feel like a deleted scene from a superhero flick.
At this point, I’m just hoping 1923 sticks the landing. Because if the finale pulls another stunt like this? I might need brain surgery just to make sense of it.
Harrison Ford, 82, and Calista Flockhart, 60, prove their love is strong in rare NYC PDA
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart are proving their love is as strong as ever. In rare photos from March 31, the 82-year-old Indiana Jones star and his 60-year-old wife shared a sweet moment of public affection while waiting for their trains in New York City (reported by TMZ).
The couple, often spotted apart due to their busy schedules — Ford in California and Flockhart in New York for her Off-Broadway play Curse of the Starving Class — was seen exchanging kisses and hugs on a subway platform.
Amid rumors about their relationship, this tender moment shows Ford and Flockhart’s bond is still alive and well. The couple, married since 2010, share an adopted son, Liam, 23. Ford has four other children from previous marriages, but his relationship with Flockhart remains the heart of his current life.
