Yellowjackets (Showtime) TV Show • Page 44

Yup agreed, it allows for this specific kind of stuff that we're seeing. Expands beyond what we already knew and breathes new life into the group dynamic.

 

It's Nikki and Paulo all over again

 

Finally watched the new episodes. Overall I'm a little disappointed so far, but part of that is how slow moving they felt compared to the first two episodes of S1 and S2, and that I personally have set my expectations beyond pure entertainment. Some thoughts:

- I love how the show nodded to fan speculation that Mari is Pit Girl by having her fall into a different pit
- Also, solid reference to Melissa being a peripheral character until now by Shauna remarking that she actually has a personality
- Is is just me, or does the season not look as good compared S1 and S2? Maybe it's just the colour grading bothering me, but the resolution seems less crisp for some reason
- I suppose this is an evergreen statement, but poor Jeff lol
- Sarah Desjardins is so good as Callie and I'm happy that she's been promoted to main cast
- I'm intrigued by the pairing of Callie and Lottie. They're both among the show's most capable manipulators but in different ways and it's tough to guess how their dynamic will play out
- I'm here for the duo of Mari and Coach Ben, too. Would be surprised if either make it to S4, though
- I didn't expect to miss Juliette Lewis as much as I did. I'd really underrated her Natalie as a foil for the other characters, especially Misty
- Where is Lisa?
- THAT KISS!!!!!

 

Just watched the two new episodes. Still somehow convinced they are just winging it with this show lol. There’s this constant sense of “where is this all going?” Like no narrative urgency at all and every scene feels disconnected. Still weirdly enjoying though? I guess I would just like some sense of purpose or drive toward a destination.

 

I think there's a vague destination, Tai and Shauna ignored their trauma for decades and it finally caught up to them, and when Shauna becomes an empty nester soon it will just be worse since being Callie's mom has been her identity for so long
