Feels very “oceanic six” for them to put on a United front of being together and and yet they all know what really went down in the woods

Its a stretch, I just assume they got their story straight since no one has talked to the media and they made a point to bring Jackie back to the airplane to make it look like she died in the crash.

Also, as already posted, what was up with the moose? I know they are all sort of loosely tethered to an animal but is Nat supposed to be a moose?

In an article posted on Screen Rant, they said:
quote:

In some indigenous Canadian First Nations tribes, such as the Mi'kmaq, a white moose is considered sacred and lucky due to its rarity, signaling that the creature could be representative of a stroke of luck for the survivors.


So, that's at least one theory.

Also, no idea how I missed this, but at the end when Adult Lottie had a vision of all the blood at the beehive, she hallucinates that the cult member says, "Il veut de sang" (It/he wants blood), which is what Teen Lottie said during the seance.

Anyone get the sense that Walter knows Adult Misty is lying about knowing Adam's mom? I have a feeling that one Walter finds out what really happened to Adam, Adult Misty is going to murder him

Always up on this Sloth. I dont have as much time to deep dive as last season but that its all the fun.

I did catch the bee thing, which surprised me because Lottie always seemed unsecured of all of that so imo it sort of short a crack in her character.

I think Walter immediately saw through that, but I think he really likes Misty and they are both crazy as shite so they fit well. I was waiting on Misty to find out about the blackmail so I was surprised that never happened with the Randy interrogation. Then again Misty is crazy af, but at this point she probably needs Walter for his "skills" and "boat in case she needs to leave the country without a passport."

Alright, Episode 4...

-I guess we finally found out the white moose was real. Seems to be pretty symbolic that they weren't able to retrieve it and it sank into the lake.

-Everyone complains about the Callie character, but GOOD LORD, Mari is by far the worst. I'm convinced she's Pit Girl because who wouldn't want to kill her and eat her. She's so fricking annoying

-The shot of the coach reading The Magus is an interesting reference. Curious if that's a bit of foreshadowing. It seemed somewhat intentional since the front cover was clearly captured for a few seconds by the camera. I really hope the ending of Yellowjackets isn't as ambiuous as that book's ending.

-JAVI! Welcome back bro! Good thing you didn't witness everyone eating Jackie because you were traumatized enough at the Doomcoming when everyone did shrooms. I imagine he was the one stealing bear meat?

-Jackie not being at the table in the mall during Lottie's hallucination gave me the sads.

-I didn't like the Alanis Morisette cover of the intro song as much as the original.

-So Shauna has no issue telling Callie she murdered Adam, yet she can't tell Callie what happened in the woods because they did bad things? Pretty clear that eating Jackie wasn't the worst thing they did out there

I keep seeing ads for this. What’s even the premise of this show?

A girls high school soccer team is flying to nationals when their plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. The survivors are lost in the woods for 19 months and an indeterminate number of them survive. No one exactly knows what went down during those 19 months, but the members of the team who have survived don't seem completely right in the head.

The show jumps back and forth from the teen girls in the woods to the adult survivors, so you slowly learn what happened in the woods and how that might be influencing the current issues the adults are dealing with.

It's all very mysterious and we don't have a lot of answers after about 1 1/2 seasons.

I thought that too, but Lottie's tunnel seemed like one of her visions. Then again idk how tf Javi would survive outside of something like that. I didnt think of this but saw a theory and it potentially makes sense when they burned Jackie and Javi's pants were thrown on the fire with Nat's blood on them, I guess she may have unwittingly connected herself to whatever it is out there making things weird.

Also to the above, imo pit girl is 100% Mari but then again I feel like they are intentionally trying to not be obvious. Just wonder how pit girl ended up with Jackie's necklace.

I have a very strong hunch Season 3 will surely be coming so I once again am bracing myself for disappointment and another year or two of a lack of answers, by expecting most of the answers from this season.

ETA: I still see theories speculating on who the "antler queen" is but short of aforementioned scripts to throw people off, I don't see how it isn't Lottie.

Still really curious what “else” the group did that Shauna couldn’t fess up to to Callie.. like something worse than cannibalism, can’t imagine what that could be though.

Like yeah cannibalism is bad but given the circumstances, everyone would give in to that to survive. Something else happened and I have no clue what it could be .

Pretty sure some of them get murdered. That hasn't happened yet.

Guess I’ve been living under a rock. Just finished the first episode of the first season. Definitely not the same ole same ole. I hope it doesn’t become overly far fetched and stays somewhat believable. The music is good!!

IIRC the teaser has a scene that looks like Shauna giving birth. Im going to lmao and be disappointed if that is the end of the season finale but im guessing the only thing worse than cannabalism for survival is: a) them eating the new born; or b) sacrificing the newborn.

I could see Shauna be extra fricked up by that and not wanting to talk about it to anyone, especially her daughter. Then again for all we know they baby is alive, can never tell with this show.

Also to the above, definitely jealous you get to watch most of it in a binge if you want (for the first time), the music has been pretty great for the most part. A few hit or misses but overall really good in my opinion.

ETA: also have a hunch when Shauna finds out about Hipster cop creeping on her teenage daughter he might end up like Adam.

Decent episode last night, but this show seems like it is settling into "meh" for me a bit. I found myself bullshitting on my phone at one point and had to consciously put it down and rewind the show.

As expected, Javi is alive, but I hope we get an explanation as to how he managed all this time (especially with no weapons or real skills to survive).

I am interested to see if Javi was stealing the meat or if it's really one of the girls. I imagine it will be one of them since it would push them further into division and create more tension.

Seems like it's only a matter of time before they kill the coach. He better be careful who he mouths off to. These chicks are crazy and they've already proven that to you several times...a couple of them would kill you in your sleep and not think twice about it.

It sucks to find the moose and then lose it so easily.
IMO they should've tried to find Lottie first, because in a situation like that it should be "all hands on deck" since you literally need every ounce of strength you had to try to get it out of the water (I realize she had passed out eventually, but the group didn't know that). I can't imagine how heavy an overgrown, frozen moose would weigh.

The absolute, sheer stupidity of Shauna telling her daughter everything is mindboggling. But then again, she's one of the dumbest people on the show so I guess it fits.

I don't get the whole cult/adult Natalie thing really. I hope that storyline pans out soon. That was when I caught myself on my phone...when they were at that chick's mom's house.

The whole Taissa thing, with her literally living a double life and not knowing, is super weird. So much so that I kinda hate that subplot and hope she dies soon. Maybe the addition of bringing back Van will help that get better, who knows.


I like the show, but it is noticeable how much better the wilderness parts of the episodes are than the present day stuff. I don't know if it's because most of the adult actors/actresses just suck or what, but it's way less compelling for me. Anybody else?

I find the wilderness parts more interesting, but I don't think it has to do with the acting ability of the adult characters.

Rather, I think it's because there's a big ongoing mystery about what exactly happened in the wilderness. We know they start some sort of cult, dress up in crazy costumes, and start sacrificing/killing each other and eating the victims. It's really interesting to see how that all unravels.

However, we don't have any idea where the adult storyline is going or why it even matters. So that plot meanders a bit and it's more difficult to get invested in it.

Like, is the adult storyline just going to be about how the survivors deal with the memories of all the crazy shite they did in the woods, or is something more going to happen? I imagine it's the latter because why did the survivors all start getting postcards with the symbol after so much time? Why all of a sudden is the stuff from the wilderness coming back up?

Yeah, and part of the problem is that there are SO. MANY. storylines for the adults. You have Misty and Walter, Shauna and her husband, Adam, the police, and Callie, you have Taissa and her mental breakdown, and Nat and the cult.

There's just A LOT going on all at the same time with the adults this season because they're all separated. At least in the first season they were interacting with each other quite a bit, but now everyone is off on their own.

So yeah, much more difficult to enjoy the adult parts when you get really small snippets of so many different storylines. But I imagine at some point the adult storylines are going to converge again, so that should make things better.
