re: Yellowjackets: New Showtime Show

That episode... holy shite.

I also read this on the wiki page:

quote:

In the pilot's opening scene, a flash-forward shows a group covered in fur clothing. Hanratty (Misty) was the only cast member present while the scene was shot and the other characters were played by stunt coordinators. Hanratty says the writers have not told the cast which characters appear in that scene: "We all have our theories on who that is too, and we have a group chat in our cast where we try to come up with theories ourselves of what's going on and who we think is who."

That’s a pretty cool idea. The wiki page has tons of info about the show also in terms of how they filmed it, character selection, direction of the show etc.

What was happening at the ending? My tv was too damned dark to see who was doing what.

Taissa was outside eating dirt when Nat texted her about dropping off the money. So maybe Taissa is the woman the son sees in the tree outside his window???

That was my thinking too. Definitely the best episode so far, as far as blending flash backs and current time lines. I too have so many questions. Where is Shauna's husband sneaking off to? I feel like an affair is too easy. Taissa eating dirt like in Lottie's "vision". I think whoever posted that was spot on about the religious girl somehow egging on Lottie's visions which may play a big part later. However, so Lottie as a kid had powers, just like Taissa's son? They need to release these two at a time

ETA: am I crazy or were there different scenes cut into the intro credits? I thought I noticed new flashes of footage I hadn't noticed last week (as well as from the first episode with it). Maybe I'm crazy.

I think there were. I noticed a shot of the lit motel sign in the credits, and then an almost identical shot was shown during the episode. I don't recall previously seeing that specific shot in the opening credits?

Same, I didn't remember the seance scene being in the credits last time. Which would make sense as that was a pretty big unseen event coming and it would make sense not to ruin it. Then again, I could be crazy as the credits are all quick cuts.

Also, eating dirt if she is doing that, that is very strange in the absence of a supernatural reason. I guess if you had to do it, but I'd think you'd eat bugs and leaves before dirt. It looked like she has blood on her hand in the final scene like she'd been biting her arm, but my tv brightness wasn't super bright, but she was obviously in the flowerbed.

Yep I think Taissa is the “lady in the tree” that Sammy keeps seeing. Couldn’t tell from the scene, did she bite herself and that’s why she was bleeding?

I’m guessing Lottie really did see Taissa in the woods eating dirt

Past that, I have no idea what’s coming next

ETA: I thought for sure Lottie was going to drown Laura Lee out there. Thankfully she didn’t - I like ol Laura Lee

Can someone spoil something? Is there a cult tribe already in the woods?

catching up on this show now, I dig it


“she will never hear wonderwall again”

Everyone is certainly acting like Jackie is dead, so I'm starting to think she actually died in the woods at some point.

She dies in the first two minutes of the show. The girl that falls on the spikes is wearing the necklace that Jackie gave to Shauna on the plane and then shauna gives back to jackie in this episode...so I think we can assume Jackie is dead (unless she gives the necklace away again).
