I really dislike the "Adam is Javi" theory. When Shauna is googling herself in ep 5 there's a split second shot of a link to a reddit thread asking if any of the Yellowjackets survivors are single so I kinda hope he's like a creepy weirdo into the whole thing and only getting close to her because of it. I think that would be a fun contrast to the way people have been trying to get Tai to divulge what happened-- people who use their influence and power to force you to disclose your trauma vs the people who try to get really close and intimate with you in the hopes you'll open up and spill.

Either way there was a shot from one of the trailers where Shauna is pointing a knife at him so yeah, I think she'll get wise to his tomfoolery eventually.

I actually have a screenshot I can post once I censor usernames lol

IMO there are 2 factors at play here.

Factor 1 is that there are some truly stupid people in this world who can't comprehend what's happenin onscreen unless a Carrie Bradshaw narrator comes on and dictates "And then Shauna and Jeff had sex. And even though Shauna made an elaborate threat about what would happen if Jeff came in her, he still came in her and Sperm A met Egg B and just like that, Shauna was pregnant by Jeff before she even got on the plane 💅" This is also a symptom of terminal CinemaSins poisoning

Factor 2 is a result of whatever the gently caress happened with Lost and Game of Thrones and whatever else-- the writers were mad that fans figured out where they were planning to go with the story so they rewrote it to be entirely unpredictable. Now people watch shows and guess the absolute wildest left-field outcomes because they have no reason to think the writers won't do something that stupid.

Hey now. Don’t discount Jacques. He’s only been specified as missing fingers.

Did I miss why the cabin corpse is French (I’m assuming -Canadian)? It’d actually be pretty in character for a bunch of teens to just make up a name and now that’s 100% deffo the dude’s background now.

Comedy option: Shauna "confesses" to actually hooking up with Randy loving Walsh even though she made such a fuss about the idea when she was getting ready for the party.

Here is the screenshot I mentioned



There is also someone on one of the facebook groups asking for a translation of an article Misty had in her Citizen Detective Expanding File (TM). They will not accept that although the headline of the article is in English, the body is just Lorem Ipsum filler with no deeper meaning.

Also, Nat's boyfriend is a bit of an insecure rear end in a top hat "What number would I be?"

Gave me Vietnam flashbacks to getting an IUD placed. Kudos to them for not only showing it, but for doing a really loving good job showing it. It was exactly as terrifying and visceral as it needed to be, but it never got lurid. The acting was fantastic. Shauna brought Jackie's bottle of Sea Breeze with her for disinfectant.

Misty is so extra. I love her. Tai was sweating bullets when Nat started calling Jessica Roberts, looks like the truth is still going to come out.

I'm really excited for next week, Tai will be assembling her own little Forlorn Hope except the Forlorn Hope actually did succeed in getting the Donner Party rescued. I don't know what exactly will happen but I am pre-emptively dedicating it to all the dipshits I've seen commenting like "if I was stranded in the woods after a plane crash with limited food and water and no sense of where I was, I would simply Leave 😌"

This week's fandom slapfights are:
-Some of the movies in Jackie's journal are from after 1997. Production error or hint?
-Coach Scott having all those condoms means he's having an affair with one of the girls on the team, and not that he was planning to run for Mayor of Pound Town, Seattle Division

(I do think that could be a plot point though-- Nat and Travis discuss the condoms and Misty's "secret boyfriend" and put two and two together. Poor Coach)

ETA: Xiahou Dun I think you and I would both lie facedown on the floor for 45 minutes for Melanie Lynskey

I’m watching it now and I’ll write more later but really quick :

1) “Secret boyfriend”, Misty? Really? In a population of three dudes, assuming we like Voltron Javi and Jacque de Corpse together.

loving smooth. Even if that was fake secret it was too obvious.

2) We need to talk about the real unspeakable tragedy and horror in the show :

Taissa and Simone have a pretty dope kitchen and they aren’t doing poo poo with it. A lot of their stuff is more to look nice than be good, sure, but that range is great and I’ve had apartments that were smaller than that island.

I could cook so much with that set up and you can tell neither one of them cooks! Their knives are trash!!!

I haven’t read the thread yet today so there’s probably stuff to respond to like someone is convinced Mari’s a wendigo or some poo poo, but I had to say something.

PS that island would be so good for making dumplings! You could have like a whole make your own dumpling dinner party around that thing!

ETA: Xiahou Dun I think you and I would both lie facedown on the floor for 45 minutes for Melanie Lynskey

I mean, toss in a podcast and "lying on the floor facedown" is basically one of my top leisure activities. So it's not exactly the biggest compliment to her.

Thoughts and responses :

gently caress yes, looking forward to poo poo just going full-on teen-girl The Terror next week. Merry Christmas bitches. (Yes there's a new episode on the 26th, I just checked. I look forward to trying to sneak in a watch of my murder lesbian cannibal show in between egg nog and playing with my nephew.)

That scene was uh yeah. Oof. Looking forward to all the sex I'm never having again remembering that. Good call on the IUD by the way ; I've never had one because of anatomical reasons, but I've been present during that and yuuuuuup that's probably the closest parallel you're gonna get in a normal lived experience because (hopefully) woods abortions remain rare.

Nocturnal, arboreal Taissa is loving terrifying and I liked the repetition of it. (In the second scene, did anyone else think she was wearing a bone necklace or something for a second? Maybe I'm going crazy but I think there was a trick of the light that made me think.) And the line-delivery when she dismissed Lottie's question was perfection.

I guess she got possessed by a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(disorder)]pica ghost[url]. A pic-ergeist. (Although if the writers have a third of a brain, it's a really natural thing to weave together Lottie's possible "predictions" and a common nutrient-deficiency disorder ; that's money on the table right there!)

Mayor of Pound Town is going on my next set of business cards. Although, just as a funny thing : [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=pound+town+store&oq=pound+town&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0i512l4j46i512j46i175i199i512j0i512l2j46i512.5482j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8]Pound Town[url] is the British equivalent of a dollar store. That's not a helpful fact, but at least now you can try and force jokes about how Brits can't help spending their whole wad when they visit Pound Town.

Please keep posting as much of these idiots as you want, I can't get enough of people being that stupid. It reminds me of teaching, but in a good way cause I'm not responsible for them and can just laugh while they accidentally eat their feet or whatever.

He’s actually been taking dance classes to surprise her for their anniversary.

He’s getting pretty good, and has found that expressing himself in different ways has made him more sensitive to her needs and more willing to try new things.

It’s been a lot of work and he hates keeping secrets from her, but he really thinks she’ll love the surprise and can’t wait to see how happy it makes her. He hopes it can grow and expand as part of their lives and as a way for them to continue to share something as they continue on together.

He loves Shauna so much.
