Yellowjackets (Showtime) TV Show • Page 50

Good ep, solid season.

So I’m guessing
Season 4 has more hunts until they get rescued near the end. We know Hannah dies and probably Gen or Akilah or an extra I forgot about. With Nat’s betrayal I think this is where warring tribes becomes a factor, team crazy and team rescue. Should be fun.

Then season 5 is about when they’re back? I don’t know how they’d keep that compelling but I guess we’ll see. I like the theory that the past adjusts to civilization and Shauna drags the present back to the wilderness. But it doesn’t seem like it can last a whole season.

 

Well this season they are two present survivors down and one up, so I am guessing there will be one more surprise present day survivor in season 4.

 

What a fucking finale

 

That scene in the pilot hits way harder now

at the end of the Pit Girl flashbacks in 1x1 the camera very purposefully pans up to the mountains. They fucking had this shit planned out this whole time

 

Just rediscovered this thread lol. Loved the finale even if this season was a little uneven to me. I loved that a few major questions got answered but there are still enough out there yet to come as well! Looking forward to see where they go from here and hopefully it’s not another 2 year wait for season 4

 

I think now that we're in these last two seasons both storylines are gonna be peak. After last seasons drop, this season definitely redeemed itself and I'm all aboard for our spiritual successor to Lost!

Heh.

 

Did they confirm five seasons planned?

 

It was pitched as a five season show and that’s still the aim, but it hasn’t been renewed for a fourth season yet

 

RIP Mari I will miss you dearly

geez this episode was a lot. Both Sophie’s and Liv Hewson are by far the MVPs of the season for me. Wow

 

ppl are pointing out that the show is disproportionately killing off its poc characters, and doing so in brutal ways, and I mean, they're not wrong

 

Based off of a lot of stuff lately mainly Tai and Misty’s convo where they say “Shauna can’t be the last one”, the episode one detail of how hard Travis tried to stay away only to get murdered (which they never solved), how mad they were at Tai for running for office, Melissa’s fake suicide, and Shauna to Melissa saying it won’t be safe until there’s one left (among other little things), I’m pretty sure we’re going to find out that the girls entered into some kind of tontine agreement where no one is allowed to talk about what happened until they’re the last Yellowjacket left alive. Which I guess would guarantee them a bunch of money, and narrative control which I think Shauna really wants at this point.

so if that gets expressly discussed pre-rescue, I think it will make the adult timeline more interesting. And maybe throw in an extra surprise element, like Akilah has been alive still in the wilderness this whole time or something.

 

realized that Melissa changing her name and getting the fuck out of New Jersey is the only reasonable thing any of the former Yellowjackets did, well I guess Val moved too

 

Van moved to Ohio, who are we kidding

 

I didn’t change my name but I did get a gayer haircut

 

I would love to know if there’s any reason they landed on Ohio or if it was just “somewhere random, middle of nowhere” thinking

 

tbf to the best of my knowledge you never murdered and/or ate anyone

 

Only to the best of your knowledge

 

These crazy assholes shoulda died in the forest. Yeesh. (Midway thru ep7).

 

Wild finale that had a lot more “telling not showing” than I would have liked, but still compelling. The second half of this season was vastly better than the first. IMO there’s still a lot of dialogue in this show that feels unnatural and scripted and then there are great scenes like the moment of reconciliation with Callie and her dad. Looking forward to the rescue and reintegration into society arc because the cannibalism / Lottie’s religious stuff is losing its charm for me.

 

I’m obsessed with Sophie Nélisse’s delivery of “bring me her hair”

 

yeah but

they're pointing out how it's racially charged to have Shauna strip Mari's body, drag it through the snow, hang it upside down, then keep her hair as part of the antler queen attire. maybe the writers didn't think of the implications of that; i sure didn't when i first saw it tbh. the actors are consistently killing it, though. i just think the writers don't know what they're doing

 

I think it was probably intended to show Shauna crossing a line and doing something irredeemable. At this point there’s really no turning back for her. Mari was one of, if not the only person left still standing up to Shauna and calling her on her bullshit. At that point she thinks she’s won. But it’s the same thing as 301 and Mari is the decoy. Plus Shauna is still trying to punish Natalie and asking her to do something that brutal is probably part of that. I really think the intention is seeing Shauna do something truly irredeemable.

But the narrative intent of these shows obviously don’t exist in vacuums. I think it gets murky when people dying, often in upsetting circumstances, is part of the show’s DNA. Definitely not trying to argue with the feelings of POC on this because it’s not my place. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the narrative purpose.

But yeah, I’ll miss Mari and Alexa Barajas. I hope she also starts haunting Shauna.

 

You're telling me Tai ripped Van's heart out with her bare hands? Dark Tai is strong AF.
