    Just learned Kevin Alves was in a few Degrassi episodes in 2012. I can’t believe I didn’t notice the last time I rewatched them

    Rewatching the most recent episode, did anyone else catch that they’ve hinted a few times now that Van is counting cards? Once the finale airs, I wanna go back and rewatch the whole series. Seems like there’s a bunch of stuff from season one in the adult timeline that hits different after this season
     
  4. They definitely suggest she's been practicing with them in some way, whether it's dealing from the bottom, false shuffles, etc.

    Doesn't Teen Tai also throw that in her face during an argument or something too?

    When Tai pulls the card to kill Ben, Van tells her “I wish I could’ve told you not to pull that card.” Adult Van also stops Shauna when she’s shuffling in the season 2 finale. So there’s definitely something there

    what exactly would that indicate or matter if she was

    not trying to be snarky or a dick i just don’t get what the significance of that to their character would really be

    It would mean Van (and possibly Tai) have control over who gets hunted

  10. Yeah, it basically turns Tai into shadow president of the group while Shaunda just goes berserk.

    Granted we still have the season finale to go, but if Other Tai really is vanquished in the present timeline like the latest episode suggests then… what the hell?

    She kinda just screwed around doing light b-plot evil for three seasons without anything really climactic happening as a result. Idk if I’m missing something but that’s so unsatisfying?

    Finally caught up. The season improved a lot since episode six, for sure. Glad a lot more action+consequences take place in the second half of the season. I found myself enjoying everything more once I loosened my grip on any character’s decision-making, and just allowing the stream-of-consciousness storytelling unfold. So much unhinged shit, and I really enjoyed Jeff’s dialogue about loving unhinged women lol. Looking forward to the finale.

    I’d have to watch the scene again, but I thought OG Tai was the one who was gone. I can’t remember if it was a smirk or her eyes or what but I’m pretty sure it was still Other Tai

    Judging from the preview and still images I am seeing we are definitely finally getting the pit girl moment in tomorrow's episode.
     
  17. ppl on tiktok are saying recently the fandom has gotten more toxic? idk bc obv I'm new here. Are there just a bunch of haters now, or is there a lot of infighting in comments sections, or what?

    I guess it depends where you look. My favourite place for Yellowjackets discussion is the comments section of Autostraddle’s episode recaps. By and large, the people are respectful and the vibe is fun

    I don’t visit r/Yellowjackets often but from what I can tell s3 has a mixed reception there, and on chorus.fm this one poster named Orla kinda sucks

    @Orla I was gonna DM and ask if that was you but didn’t want to blow your cover

    Ugh, Van died? God that’s a bummer. They keep killing all the characters I like (other than Lottie. I could do without Lottie).

    I feel like I don’t know too many people irl watching this show. The only place I discuss it really is here and with my family

    Speaking of Autostraddle, they posted a great interview with Liv Hewson today

  23. whoa. okay.

    quick thoughts:
    mari is pit girl. sad but not surprised
    cal killed lottie. also... not surprised
    lottie doesn't get a plane scene
    shauna's gone full big bad i guess?
    holy fuck, thatcher. and liv! damn, this cast

    okay, so they buried van, but mel's wife/kid are still gonna come home eventually. did they clean up any and all evidence of them being there? mel herself's pretty beat up, tho i guess she can just make up a story about why, uh, there's a bite mark on her arm. feels like a lot was skipped over.

    this season was kind of a mess, esp at the beginning, but i wouldn't say it dipped in quality, at least, not as much as ppl made it seem in the other thread. i think my main gripe is only that they've now killed off three main characters in the present timeline, leaving those actresses underutilized. i think each of them has mentioned their disappointment in interviews? it's like wasted potential in favor of a plot that at this point feels like they're making it up as they go. past timeline definitely feels more planned and thought out. present often feels silly and dumb. buuut i am too invested now in the dumb lesbian cannibal show. so i will keep watching it. bc it has lesbians.

    Ok the "Nat saved all of us. We wouldn't be home without her" stuff from season 1 is clear now.
