re: Yellowjackets: New Showtime Show

Okay, I am caught up.

I'm not sure what to think of the glitter thing...clearly the show is trying too hard to make it seem like Adam. And it being Jeff wouldn't make much sense either. But I guess right now it has to be one (or both) of them. My main issue with it is how much glitter there was...surely neither of them are stupid enough to not rid themselves of glitter before rejoining society in whatever aspect (Adam before going to her house or Jeff before going home). It's just too obvious to rid yourself of the glitter more than just trying to shake it loose from your shirt for 30 seconds.

As for Adam being Javi, I don't think there's any way that is true. Or at least it shouldn't be. Shauna even said "he's younger" or maybe even "a lot younger." I'm not sure a 40 year old would say that about someone only a few years younger than she is, since in the woods they are seniors (17/18) and Javi is like 14. I also agree with the people that said it seems like she/they would recognize someone they were stranded in the woods with in a survival situation for a long time.

Clearly none of the girls trust each other. Tai won't tell the others that she hired the "journalist," and every time they get together there is clear tension between Nat and Shauna, and between Misty and everyone. Although Shauna and Tai obviously seem closer than the others, at least superficially. I can't believe they are so secretive about what happened that they'd willingly give away $50 grand with almost zero forethought. I don't think anybody would think twice about them resorting to cannibalism if the situation called for it (a la the Alive story with the rugby team, which was only a few years prior to this crash).

Misty is insane, but I am not sure what her end game is. She's kidnapped this chick and seems to be all in with her insanity, knowing that letting her go means jailtime. So I'm wondering if she knows or suspects that this chick isn't a reporter and is working for Tai. That would explain her confidence to carry out the kidnapping (and possible torture??) thing.

I find the show focuses way too much on adult Shauna. She just isn't interesting at all to me, yet it seems like she takes up nearly 50% of every episode. And this chicken game with her daughter has to end badly at some point. Not to mention how sloppy she's getting with hiding shite...what in the world would make you fall asleep with your lover not knowing when your husband will be home? And sloppy like him leaving his wallet lying around too? Just seems like those are mistakes you shouldn't make, unless they are intentional (her trying to get caught or him trying to get her busted?). I guess that maybe would make more sense if Adam and Jeff are in fact working together though. Who knows.

If I am Travis, I'm not worrying about who all Nat has hooked up with. That girl has a banging body, and is all about your penis, dude. Man up and go for it. Not to mention that eventually all the girls will want you anyway. Like Jackie said, he's basically Brad Pitt out there. And if I am Javi, I am trying to do as much as I can around the camp to show girls that I'm not some helpless little kid, and to look more "manly." That can only lead to good things for you.
