Do the writers forget what they've written?
Post Body

I apologize if this has been discussed but I'm new to this sub. I'm on a re-watch and it baffles me how many things it seems like the writers just forgot they said in earlier episodes.

1) In the very first episode, John tells Dan that they find rodeos insulting, then they spend 5 seasons obsessed with the rodeo.

2) Beth goes with Jamie to bring his father to the train station, but then seems to be surprised to find out about it when Jamie mentions Rip and John using it.

3) How is Jimmy able to ride a horse again much less ride unbroken horses down in Texas when there was doubt he'd even be able to walk again?

4) How was John only in a coma for 2 months, but Beth's catastrophic burns have all healed? Wouldn't that take more than 2 months?

5) In Season 4 they twice mention that Governor Perry has two years left on her term (once to John and once to Kayce) and talk about how long it takes to do an election, and simultaneously Monica finds out she's pregnant but then in the season 5 premiere John is governor and Monica is still pregnant, so how has it been 2 years?

6) How many more times are Kayce and Monica going to move back onto the ranch only to then have her freak out again and have them move back off the ranch?

There are more, I'm just currently watching the S5 finale right now and these are on my mind.
