Long time no see!
A lot has gone down sinceYellowstonewas last airing episodes.
The stage was set for an exciting conclusion when the show came back that summer.
The show did not come back that summer.
Were coming to season 5B with a very different understanding of its significance.
So, this mid-season premiere has a lot on its plate.
It can be exciting, it can be dull, it can be silly, it can be meditative.
When we do see Jamie, hes deeply distraught by the news, and he sureseemssurprised.
Beth sure thinks theyre crocodile tears.
Most of this long flashback segment is pretty boring, though.
For one, most of the banter just isnt really hitting.
Oh, and you cant say stuff like that these days.
The Texas story has its moments, sure.
Ryan getting nipped by a scorpion is fun.
This conflict has been around since the beginning, but right now it feels too abstract, too static.
Does it fit seamlessly with what we saw in season 5A, though?
The only concern, really, is how to fill the rest of the time.
With the surveillance footage missing, its even more obvious theres something fishy there.
So, uh, is Summer just gone?
Maybe well see her at Johns funeral or something.
So watch out for that.
Yeah, I mean, theres no hiding Tates growth spurt.
Afraid to say I didnt feel much in those closing moments.
