Yellowjackets (Showtime) TV Show • Page 28

I kind of want Callie to meet the other Yellowjackets. I hope we get that this season.

 

My only complaint was about facial hair

 

The parallel storytelling persistent throughout this show is giving me some bad vibes for Crystal’s character. Past Misty has made a new friend very much into musical theater through Crystal while present day Misty is forming a new bond with Walter who also has an apparent interest in musical theater. Given that there’s also been no mention of Crystal in the present day timeline, and they’re just now shining a light on her character, my assumption is that she’s not long for this world. Since the timelines always tend to mirror each other in some way, I’m currently out on the limb that something bad is going to happen to both Walter and Crystal on account of Misty. There’s a shot in the season 2 trailer with Misty out in the snow looking down over the cliffside (looks to be the same spot bad Tai was walking to before Van stopped her) and another shot of her looking very upset. My mirror theory at the moment is that Misty will get close enough to Crystal that she’ll let slip to her (because Misty so longs for attention and validation) that she destroyed the black box and Crystal will freak out about it, much to Misty’s dismay. So…she’s got to do something about it before she spills the beans to the others and whoops, cliffside accident. Meanwhile in the present, Walter discovers the truth about what happened to Adam and that will not bode well for him (that is, if he’s not playing some long con of his own and already knows the truth). There’s also the shot at the end of the season 2 trailer where the girls are carrying someone through the woods tied to a stick. Also going to guess that Misty lies and says Crystal had an “accident” so they retrieve her body and…you know.

 

Also Billions is currently in that "it should have ended a few seasons ago" phase that all successful Showtime series go through now too.

 

Homeland has 8!! godamn seasons

Its hard for me to stop watching a show after being invested for 4 years+ but jesus

 

This is how I felt about season 1, think the present timeline is picking up in a lot of ways but still, get me in that wildnerness

 

kinda felt the same way but that five-second glimpse of adult Van immediately pulled me back into the present-day stuff. seems like they absolutely nailed the casting there

 

In season 1 I didn’t care for Misty in either timeline but now I’m like give me that Adult Misty/Elijah Wood spin-off

 

Just started episode 5. Original theme music is back. Alanis must have been a one off.

 

Shauna with the Built To Spill shirt

 

for those who were annoyed/disappointed at the small critcism off last week's episode..... no worries. Episode 5 was excellent. We're back on track. Stuff happened! I'm also just closing my eyes and pretending Juliette Lewis is acting better and its fine.

 

Yeah this episode ruled

 

Loved it

 

She wasn’t bad in this one

 

That Danzig needle drop the moment Shauna starts to go into labor was excellent

 

Samantha Hanratty is so goddamn good.

 

the whole younger cast rocks

 

Per the episode 6 promo we should be getting Shauna, Nat, Tai, Van, Misty, and Lottie coming together in the present timeline next episode

 

Going back to my complaint about Travis’ facial hair: so again he’s always freshly shaven in the wilderness but adult Travis had a styled goatee with stubble growing around it….how!!!!

 

…..Well…..

 

Since there is a week break between episodes, next weekend i might take this episode's 90's arthouse recs and watch Party Girl and The Watermelon Woman.

Also I guess the director of Party Girl, Daisy Von Scherler Mayer also directed Doomcoming and the season 2 premiere. That was them giving her a shoutout.

 

The Watermelon Woman is so good, and it’s coming to Criterion soon! Perfect reference.

 

absolutely top tier episode, massive improvement. Tawny Cypress and Lauren Ambrose have absolutely killer chemistry. also yeah Hanratty might be giving the best performance on this show she's so good

...that said moustache cop is the absolute worst and they gotta stop giving Callie these terrible lines. "i sexually hustled you?" come the fuck on lmao

 

I mean, that's absolutely in line with cringey shit teenagers say. I don't think we were supposed to be impressed by it or anything.

I just caught up on the season. It's so hard watching the girls play by the same high school rules, especially after that playbook got Jackie killed. That whole competition between Nat and Lottie was such a clearly bad idea. I think I may be starting to lean towards there being a paranormal element which at this point is a little less interesting to me. I guess all of the symbols being found could still be hallucinations though. Soundtrack continues to be perfect

 

idk I think it's just terrible dialogue. might be deliberate but it's still bad. in general I think this arc with Kevyn and moustache cop is painful to watch honestly, Lynskey and the rest deserve way better

I don't have any doubt that there's truly supernatural shit going on. the snow falling when Jackie was perfectly cooked, all the birds hitting the house, Javi somehow surviving is all way too insane to happen if there's no supernatural shenanigans lol. and unless all 20 of them had the same hallucination, that stuff really did happen because there's multiple references to it

also just want to say I appreciate this episode going full horror, it's the first time I was really creeped out watching this show. Tawny as Night-Tai and Natalie's vision at the end were fucking scary
