Open Source Idiom posted:Misty's whole arc about wanting to be accepted and legitimised by people who understand where she's coming from. Have to be honest. Misty destroying the black box/locater is such a death knell for any sympathy for character that its all I can think of when I see her on the screen. Another dead girl, you did that Misty. Everyone starving, you did that Misty. I honestly think it was a mistake for the writers to have her do that. It's just too awful, too quickly. Open Source Idiom posted:Oh man, I loved The Wilds -- I think it's better than this show, sorry to say (and I like Yellowjackets!). I noped out of the Wilds after like the first 15 mins when a character was like " you think its tough being stranded, you clearly haven't been a teenage girl in the suburbs" or whatever. Just didn't seem to be my poo poo at all. It's actually worth watching? Shageletic fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jan 13, 2022 |

FWIW, the girl giving that voice over is characterised as being fairly naive and self-involved. You're not meant to read that monologue as a didactic statement about the world, but as a demonstration of her personality and a starting point for her character arc. There's even an episode later in the season where someone rips into her taste in writing. There's lots of clever bits like that throughout. Like I said, I really loved it.

I thought it was good (watched it twice) but the conspiracy angle left me cold. It's interesting than Hollywood (broadly defined) keeps going back to the robinsonnade genre yet never trusts it to carry the whole plot. You never shipwreck on a truly deserted island, there's always a mystery or a treasure or you're being filmed or something stupid like that. Last show/movie I can remember playing the genre straight was Cast Away, more than two decades ago.

I binged watched Yellowjackets over the past few days and am all caught up for the finale. I'm really enjoying it, has enough stuff to keep me guessing. I'm still not sure where I land on "is there supernatural poo poo" going on or not. Also, Misty is the best friend. Who else will gallantly shove you to the side and rail some blow to save you?

I am so excited for the season finale and so sad the season is over.    Facebook reading comprehension and critical thinking showcase:     A lot of people on facebook and reddit have finally figured out that yes, adult Shauna was in fact masturbating in her daughter's bedroom while staring at photos of her daughter's boyfriend. They're really struggling with the concept of why this scene was depicted, and the notion that it might tell us something about who adult Shauna is as a person.

Team members / other young people that survived Shauna Natalie Misty Taissa Jackie Van / Vanissa Mari Akilah Lottie Travis Javie Adults known to be alive at start of series Shauna Natalie Misty Taisssa Travis Unknon status as adults Van / Vanissa Mari Akilah Lottie Javie Opening scene / ending scene Facts about the lady in the pit White dark black hair wearing heart necklace Which eliminates Akilah (black), Jackie (blonde), Vanessa (red head), Mari (darker skin) Lottie 6 people at the end where the eat "meat" All appeared to be walking normally, (so my guess is coach didn't make it to the end) We know there are a few other survivors. Who don't seem to be close or speak to the core group season 1 focused on. I'm guessing they splintered into two groups.

So for next season, the thread title has got to be some variation on : “It’s just like riding a really gross, hosed-up bike” That’s not really a thing I can toxx for, but I’ll post really really sassily if that doesn’t happen. Edit : Lol I see Kevin the Intern’s still doing the cgi for all the animals. I want B roll of him doing a whole menagerie. Give me your giraffe next, Kev kev. Edit 2 : I can’t believe the school kept the mascot the same. loving weird. Free publicity, geh? Edit the Third : God I could not have been more wrong about Jeff taking dance lessons. This is the saddest little shuffle. I was gonna call it white dude dancing, but I’m better than this and I bleed NPR tote bags. Xiahou Dun fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Jan 16, 2022 |

That knife has been taking a beating all season and it’s only gonna get worse. They butchered an entire bear with it when there’s multiple axes just cold chilling around the cabin. There was one on the wall behind Shauna! Edit cause I guess you guys are my twitter now : the French at the end is “Spill blood, my good friends”.

The implication at this point has to be that anyone not explicitly shown in the first season didn't get out on the same chopper as the Final Five and are thus presumed lost. Anyone else would have been a postcard suspect. Though I'm willing accept Coach as an out and proud aging queen, that would own.

It's undeniable that something paranormal is happening, right? I think the show was reverse-gaslighting the viewer into being able to dismiss the teen girls as acting crazy when there actually is some evil spirit poo poo happening. At first it seemed to be disparate elements but some of it is coming together. It feels impossible to not draw comparisons to LOST. In the finale they managed to incorporate the hatch, man-in-the-cabin, and revealed the Dharma initiative. No polar bear (just a grizzly one), smoke monster, time-travel, or "WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!" yet but seems very possible in Season 2 - no seriously. Even though I think Yellowjackets has a lot of parallels and is just as 'all over the place' as LOST was, I think it's (so far) done better in every way. If it all ends up being purgatory again, I'm gonna be pissed. There's always a chance that some kind of unreliable narratorship is happening.

At first it seemed to be disparate elements but some of it is coming together. I think everything so far can be explained by coincidence/mania/trauma/psychosis/idiot teenagers. I wouldn't be too surprised if the show explicitly goes supernatural, though I think it ultimately won't despite teasing it. Anyway, I watched all of this season in 3 days and loved it. So entertaining and so much suspense, plus great performances all round. I have to say I'm a little bit worried about S2 and beyond The scene with Nat being kidnapped makes me think it's going to go off the deep end into cult/conspiracy mystery stuff, which often ends up feeling contrived and a bit ridiculous. I think the 90s timeline stuff will still be really interesting, but the current timeline could get pretty silly if they spend 4 seasons slowly investigating some behind the scenes big bad Anyway, aside from that RIP Jackie  Girl got done dirty. I hope she comes back as a spooky ghost and spooks them all the time

So I was doing a little research and re-watch trying to figure out how many girls were on the Yellowjackets team and what their jersey #s were (the jerseys go to 18 but there are 17 players in the pilot episode, 15 shown in the frame in the finale), and I took a long hard look at the home movies style show intro and found this lol: It's a crystal clear picture of the man-in-the-cabin. He's been right in front of our noses all along!! this is also in the intro  spooky

At first it seemed to be disparate elements but some of it is coming together. I deny it, but it's certainly a valid interpretation. They've set it up so far that either is justified and I can't imagine they'll stop. The bear is the hardest thing to explain imo, but perhaps it got hosed up on leftover berry wine and/or shroom stew. Also, Javi is either frozen or found alternative shelter. I'm trying to figure out how the symbol could possibly be the map to a stash cave. e: it would be weird to kill Javi off screen, but otherwise they're gonna have a Waaaaaaaaaaaaalt problem when that actor grows up during season 2 preproduction.

I keep meaning to actually check, but I remember in episode one there was a shot of a woman who looked like Lottie getting given a pill by a woman in an apron. Which would be open proof she’s alive, but it’s relying on my memory which uh, well, one time I accidentally called a girlfriend “Frank”, so you make your own judgement on how much to trust that. Also there were 20 pictures in the little memorial thingamawhat that Nat and Kevyn were at. Don’t know where the 15 number came from or if that discrepancy means anything. 20 is more in line with a soccer team though ; 15 is comically small, impossibly small. You need 11 bare minimum to just play the game, plus all subs.
