Yellowjackets (Showtime) TV Show • Page 11

Man i feel so bad for Coach Scott lol. just being completely aloof of the weird shift in power dynamics into spooky cult shit going on around him until the very last minute, and just being completely physically unable to do anything about it

 

Also what do ya'll think is going on with Javi being MIA. Dead or nah?

 

I think it speaks to maybe some room for improvement heading into next season within the writer’s room that literally nobody seems to care about that plot line lol I’ve read like 3 reviews of the season finale and no one has brought him up.

 

Thinking about it now he is probably one of the least developed and least interesting characters in the entire show.

 

They prob just find the dad’s ring in the bear’s stomach or something and realize he got got

 

they’d probably find some bones

 

There are some truly incredible That 70s Show memes going around for this episode, but I don’t want to post the spoilers, lol.

Enjoyed it a lot overall. A bit disappointed that my theory about Jackie being alive and unknown to the rest of the girls didn’t pan out, but I also thought it was equally likely they sacrificed her early on so I wasn’t completely shocked. I guess the theories about her diary were just a prop mistake after all instead of hints, but theoretically something weird could still be going on there.

And the very first foreshadowing I was completely sure would come true was the language of “freeze her out” in the premiere, so that clicked early on for me when she left the cabin.
The only thing I didn’t like was Natalie’s kidnapping and the cult reveal. Just seemed kind of cheap and like something out of a lesser quality show. I’m so glad she didn’t die though, that would have been a huge loss to the show as a whole.
Definitely looking forward to how it goes in future seasons. I’m exhausted by the idea of a huge commitment at the moment, but it will be fun to go along for the ride and rewatch for more clues.

 

Just fyi the creators already debunked the theory of the first scene being in the present.

Loved the finale. Answered some questions but created new ones that didn’t feel forced.

 

I’m also not a big fan of Lottie being the big bad as far as how it relates to the portrayal of mental illness, but I’m hopeful that the writers can handle it with more tact than other shows have used.
Allie being the girl who said it could have been her was another fun moment of a little theory I had coming true. I’m sure I’ll find a ton more as I go through again.

Oh and Shauna threatening Randy was hilarious. Such funny scenes with useless goober men in this show.

 

Do we think there are other people out there?

 

Also, who is the man with no eyes?

 

I get real LOST vibes from this show (just look at all the “what’s up with ____?” type posts in here) and the one thing I’d say has been missing is clashing philosophical perspectives. You see a little of it develop throughout the season, and i think the return of lottie could drive that home further next season.

 

Truly wild that Showtime’s official store has zero Yellowjackets merch.

 

Lol it’s literally like all I do

 

That last 5 minutes really escalated 0_o

 

they're encouraging Etsy very progressive of them

 

Currently going through literally dozens of "Yellowjackets is the new Lost" pieces written the past few weeks. It's like we all get it, but you could think of a more interesting less lazy take for an article.

At least they are not as bad as the "Yellowjackets is the prestige Pretty Little Liars" piece from Vox.

 

Next season we’ll see someone doing chores in a cabin listening to Mama Cass only it will turn out to be a current day cult member instead of one of the kids.

 

they fucked up so bad

 

lol at Misty registering to vote to get jury duty
you believe that Sporty Spice is the most underrated Spice Girl you believe Scully is way too good for Mulder, wait how did they know the Spice Girls in 1996 Jackie time traveling again

also Lottie said she wants someone of Asian origin to play her

Yellowjackets’ Courtney Eaton on Lottie’s ‘Doomcoming,’ Cast Theories

 

Jordana Brewster could be good

 

Van was right about all those things. Especially Scully.

 

Go get the sheriff from Dexter

 

So then I have another question: There’s a scene when Shauna is at Jackie’s parents’ house and she sees these journals we assume are written by Jackie, that refer to movies that came out after the crash. Were those supposed to be things Jackie had written? Or is this, again, a perception thing?

A.L.: They were not meant to be things that Jackie herself had written.

Okay. Can you say more than that?

B.N.: I think we’ve said it other places — again, it’s just so hard, because I don’t think we want to tease it as a secret, because it’s not necessarily a big plot reveal as much as it is a character piece idea, but it could be distracting to leave it.

A.L.: I will say, we did not necessarily anticipate people screen-shotting that the way they did. So to our minds, it was a character Easter egg, and not a plot Easter egg.

Shauna at some point does return from the wilderness, as we know, because we see Melanie Lynskey. So we felt like we could potentially dramatize her initial experience of that survivor’s guilt, and we thought there was something really compelling, to us at least, about this ritual of having to go to Jackie’s parents’ house every year and be this surrogate daughter figure to them, while having this intense feeling of complicity in Jackie’s death. What would that be like for her? How would she manifest those feelings of guilt? And so again, it’s something we didn’t fully dramatize this season, and we did not necessarily anticipate people locking onto those very, very tiny details and then assuming Jackie’s a time traveler.

 

Yeah I have full faith in them.
