Yellowjackets (Showtime) TV Show • Page 29

idk I think it's just terrible dialogue. might be deliberate but it's still bad. in general I think this arc with Kevyn and moustache cop is painful to watch honestly, Lynskey and the rest deserve way better

I don't have any doubt that there's truly supernatural shit going on. the snow falling when Jackie was perfectly cooked, all the birds hitting the house, Javi somehow surviving is all way too insane to happen if there's no supernatural shenanigans lol. and unless all 20 of them had the same hallucination, that stuff really did happen because there's multiple references to it

also just want to say I appreciate this episode going full horror, it's the first time I was really creeped out watching this show. Tawny as Night-Tai and Natalie's vision at the end were fucking scary

 

I have seen interviews with the showrunners where they pretty much say there is never going to be a moment in this series where they explicitly reveal everything happening is supernatural and it's not just trauma. Its always going to be at least somewhat ambiguous.

 

That tracks. But I think it's unsustainable. They keep pulling quasi-supernatural stuff out of their hat every other episode.

I'm getting a bit fed up with all the TV shows ive been seeing where characters spend all the time seeing things or people that may or not be there, as a means for suspense. As a device I think it's being overused nowadays.

 

I just checked it on Justwatch and I see The Watermelon Woman is also currently on Showtime. Definitely going to check it out.

 

Van's living their best life

 

Valid argument for gender neutral categories but I’m also not sure they would’ve received a nomination anyway.

 

The only award show I know of that has gender neutral categories is the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

It's on 5/7 and Yellowjackets is currently nominated for both Best Show and and Best Performance in a Show (Ricci).

 

no new episodes this week?

 

nah it's skipping a week and apparently the season is only 9 episodes. no idea why

 

lame. on both accounts

 

Careful on social media. Some YouTubers that were able to review the first 6 episodes put up E6 recap videos accidentally bc they didn’t know the episode wasn’t today

most are taken down but that spawned random people making videos/posts about it

 

I could not resist temptation and spoiled myself. Someone with a screener should just leak the episode.

 

Shit, I turned on Paramount+ to watch this and didn’t know there’s no new episode :(

 

Started this show about a week ago and caught up fully, love everything about it and can’t wait to start diving into some online theories!

 

There may not be a better way to end an episode or movie than with Radiohead.

 

We finally got the Elliott Smith needledrop. Knew it was coming in this show eventually.

 

This episode was goddamn brutal, holy shit.

 

Yeah…fuck. What a gut punch. I was filled with dread the whole episode regardless, thinking something bad must happen…but that rug pull. Oh my god.

 

yeah holy shit. this was the first episode of any show in a long time I nearly had to stop watching. absolutely gutwrenching stuff from Nelisse there

+1 on the Elliot Smith needledrop though. and not even a big song, an actual deep cut too. great choice

 

Damn, that was tough. Excited to see all the adults together next episode. Curious what's going on with Van at the end there.

 

This is strange but I had a Yellowjackets dream last night. I can't remember it exactly but I know in that dream for some reason a theory popped in my head that whatever is going on with Coach Scott and his staticy timejumpy flashbacks has something to do with the cabin guy and/or the mystery shadow guy Jackie saw at the end of last season I think there is going to be a major mind blowing twist with that character.

 

lost it at Coach Ben being the sex ed teacher and Van listening to Your Woman
half your wardrobe is Sleater Kinney tour tees

 

Please. Can we end this detective, Shauna family murder shit. Its NOT interesting, like at all. You would have thought out of all the stories from S1, TAI being mayor and her wife finding the dogs head in the basement would be the one we continue. Not Shauna having a mid life crisis.

 

Shauna definitely has gone through the most in the wilderness, loving the stealing mini van back type plots with her while all the Adam Martin stuff feels like a drag.
