Billy Bob Thornton on “Landman” Season 2 Finale
In the finale, Tommy, played by Billy Bob Thornton, deceives expectations by securing funding from Gallino for Cooper’s wells, diverging from MTex. This marked a pivotal moment as Tommy created a new oil company that centers around the Norris family, incorporating ex-MTex employees into the fold.
Character Developments and Future Prospects
One of the pressing questions lingering among fans is the fate of Cami, portrayed by Demi Moore. Christian Wallace, co-creator and executive producer, addressed this uncertainty without giving specifics. He emphasized the opening of new opportunities for character dynamics and ambition in subsequent seasons.
The shift to CTT signifies starting anew, which Wallace believes injects excitement into the storyline. This change allows characters like Tommy to operate closer to their roots rather than navigating the complexities of a large, established enterprise.
Noteworthy Moments from the Finale
- The season culminated in a dramatic car crash scene that served primarily for comedic relief, showcasing the show’s flair for over-the-top moments.
- Tension builds as Tommy navigates his relationship with Gallino, questioning if his collaboration with the crime boss is wise after a season spent avoiding him.
- Tommy’s newfound happiness is intricately tied to the sense of familial support from colleagues who joined him in this venture.
Complex Characters Set for Exploration
Gallino, portrayed by Andy Garcia, has undergone an intriguing transformation from a violent antagonist to a sophisticated businessman. His dual life in the drug trade and oil industry adds layers to the narrative, inviting exploration of the intersections between these worlds. Wallace suggests the two spheres, although distinct, rely on one another in many aspects.
The Cattle Connection
The addition of “& Cattle” to the company’s name hints at potential expansions in future storylines. The show has roots in the reality of how ranchers incorporate oil business into their operations. Wallace acknowledges that the intertwining of cattle and oil industries is a notable trend within the Permian Basin.
As “Landman” gears up for its next season, fans can anticipate new challenges and adventures as Tommy and his team forge their path in the complex landscape of the oil and cattle industries.
