re: Yellowjackets: New Showtime Show

It is annoying that they haven’t answered basically anything at this point, including the symbols on the trees. But that could actually be something simple like the previous cabin owner put them all over to help him find his way around the woods.

I fully expect to be let down by the finale. But I hope they at least advance the plot a little bit.

The last few minutes was wild

Jackie’s banishment and the result of that… sigh.. hated that’s how that went down

Natalie getting kidnapped by the people with the symbol in their necklace

And the banker chick saying Lottie had emptied travis’ account

Solid finale overall

Wild finale, but still have so many questions. And Ricci was incredible this episode. That Jackie cabin scene was creepy as hell. Is the guy in the shadows maybe the guy with the long hair and hollow eyes? He looked to have shorter hair in the cabin.

Ghost in the cabin could point to some supernatural elements but likely not the center of the plot. Jackie thing was just sad and well handled. Lottie on the other hand just hasn’t played enough of a role so maybe that’ll change next season.

The fact that the bank lady mentioned her name indicates she survived but this show thrives on misdirection so you never know. Also, the point of showing Jackie as a “ghost”, I wonder if that’s the supernatural angle go forward and her role?

All these questions are a good thing for the show. We’re all engaged by it clearly LOL

Nobody cares about poor Javi

Holy Chit baws. I liked the episode even though it made for more questions. Jackie's death was just sad. Died from a broken spirit (even though she had her issues). The symbol of the people from the cult was as good as any indication that there is one out there. I'm guessing Lottie kept it going and the others went back to their lives and Lottie found new followers.

Jackie's dream/vision the man in the corner honestly looked like Jeff to me (but I don't think that is who it was). Laura Lee was there, among others, are those supposed to be the people who didn't survive? I thought I saw coach and Travis there.

The Tai shrine has me wondering if she's never stopped the cult, because running for office it would be pretty easy for the cult to ruin her or make contact.

I had a feeling that cigarette was going to be laced, but Misty did it perfectly. Damn I wonder when the next season will come out. I can't imagine they have that long with the ages of all involved, to make it look coherent.

ETA: Also, Javi being gone is interesting. Was that the bear heart that Lottie gives to the tree or Jackie's (someone else's like Javi?) lol

Based on its size, it had to be the bear heart.

Yeah that is what I was thinking, then I was thinking maybe it was some glump of organs just mashed up being offered. But I think you are correct. So many questions and so many ways for this to go forward.

ETA: the fixer lady and why Tai never revealed that she hired her. That has "cult" contact sort of written on it, imo.

Jackie had airs about her but Shauna to me is the most despicable character on the show. Nobody has more blood on their hands and yet still gets to play victim. It’s a well done character.

I agree they did a good job of making the viewer sort of have empathy or like her early on and show her progression to becoming a vile character. Misty was always crazy. Natalie had a really bad upbringing and was always sort of lost. Tai always seemed like a realist with ambition, but Shauna is in my opinion the one we really see deteriorate.
