S3 was very good. I don’t get the hate at all

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yellowstone does the same thing, Kevin Costner will say something about a horse and then there will be a brief montage with a song called like "My Old Horse." Terrible hack shit from producers who don't have any respect for their viewers' intelligence. I enjoy both shows and look forward to watching new episodes.
Dad Mickey liking Yellowstone is the least surprising thing I can think of.

Wasn't a huge fan of the latest episode but this is still better than most TV right now. Hanging in there. Glad it comes out Friday!

I think alerting fauna is probably the reason. At first I thought it was to save face, like "we're leaving empty handed but only because we got an urgent call to attend, not because we got told to fuck right off", but bears makes (slightly) more sense.

I've also enjoyed reading this thread, too. We have a solid crew watching this.

The "reason" is irrelevant. The shot of the the blue and red alternatingly painting the surroundings was so gorgeous. We needed that. :heartbeat:
