This is where I am as well.

I really enjoy the show, and I've liked both episodes so far. But this season seems like it's going to get weird as frick. And based on the little snippets after the show of the creators and actors talking about it, it's only going to get more and more weird. Which is fine as long as it makes sense. But my concern is that it will dive head first into being weird just for shock value and not because it is logical. Shocking things that make sense within the story are fine; shocking things just for the sake of shocking doesn't usually resonate with me too well.

For example, in the little blurb after the show the producer was talking about the scene where they cannibalized Jackie, and he was just so smug about it, and the cast was too. "Our fans are gonna lose their shite and freak out!!" Just stuff like that. And the way that scene was shot was just trying way too hard to make something artsy fartsy that didn't need to be. They're stranded in the frozen wilderness with minimal food. Cannibalism may be necessary to keep themselves alive. But instead they tried to make some huge deal about it, and it just was weird for me. I mean shite, we just saw Shauna eat Jackie's ear raw at the end of the last episode. But now that everybody else joins in they try to church it up and dress them up in nice white clothes like it's some hugely symbolic thing instead of just starving kids in the woods. I don't know, it just was off to me for whatever reason. Maybe I'm alone in that regard.

Them burning Jackie's jacket was egregiously stupid. In the dead of winter in the wilderness, you're going to choose not to keep something like that that will obviously help prevent people from dying?

It's pretty crazy that Taissa has not only lived her life this long with insane "sleepwalking" issues, but that she's managed to be as successful as she is. It almost doesn't make sense how she could get that far in life without killing herself (or someone else), or without being diagnosed with something preventing her from holding public office.

The whole Shauna thing with eating Jackie'e ear was stupid and weird. It doesn't even make sense why she'd do it. Even if you're hungry, eating a frozen ear just doesn't make sense. Throw that shite into a fire for a minute, or into some soup for frick's sake.

I think I saw it mentioned that they end up stranded for like 17 or 19 months? So at some point the group is gonna have Shauna's baby in the wild for damn near a year?

Am I the only one that thinks the way they flash forward and backward feels sort of disjointed sometimes?

It's amazing to me how sloppy Shauna is with just about everything in her adult life. And she's so smug about it too. I can't stand her (although I don't think we're supposed to anyway

). And it's almost inexcusable for her and her husband to leave a piece of Adam's license unburned, especially one showing his face.

And the Callie character is awful.

I'm really interested to see what they do with Javi. Dude has been gone for two months in the snow. I like what Nat tried to do for Travis, but the whole Lottie "He's still alive" thing likely means that he's gonna randomly show up one day out of the blue.

I'm surprised they haven't killed the coach yet.
