Kinda neat. In the season 4 trailer we saw a lightning strike that is witnessed by the group but as I recall all the survivors are accounted for in the image? Idk who anyone could be in that depiction the lad did but very nice little callback and tie in, regardless

Spoilers tw criticism

I am rewatching and I am on season 2 on the episode where Javi dies.

The decision to start hunting others was absolutely insane.

I know the show got inspired from the Uruguayan flight 571 case and I watched a movie about it and now watching Yellowjackets I think they made it too easy of a decision to start hunting others.

Atleast in my opinion the show doesn’t really portray the hunger they were in very well. And I know it is a fictional TV show but I would also like somewhat of a realistic portrayal in it. None of them really looked like they were in hunger or acting like they were in hunger.

For an example coach Ben was the only one who had a realistic reaction to the cannibalism. What makes it unrealistic to me is because their hunger didn’t seem loud enough to commit cannibalism or hunting others. They were way too casual about the cannibalism aspect, and how they reacted to it made the characters kinda unlikable to me.

Idk I explain this very poorly but

Edit: and I know they were in some sort of mass hysteria/ psychosis but I feel like they should have done that in a different way, that they would have started going insane more visibly at end of season 1, because their insane visions and behaviors started at like the second they arrived

As the 4th season draws closer

I really hope we get to see some more juxtaposition scenes between the timelines like we did in seasons 1 and 2 as this is Yellowjackets at its best IMO

The Taissa one in 1x03 is CRIMINALLY underrated, the tension , the build up as baby Tai walks forwards, Teen Tai climbs up and Present Tai walks down to a confrontation to death/supernatural

The Natalie coronation spliced with her demise

And of course the unforgettable Lottie Shauna fight/ Adults campfire dance to Lightning Crashes

Really hoping we get to see more of this !

How do you think Gen, Britt, Robin, and Hannah are going to die? I find it hard to believe any of them will survive. Maybe one of them will get left behind, but I just don’t see them surviving and having a tenth person join the group. It feels like there’s too little time left to kill off so many characters, and I don’t think the writers planned this out very well. I just hope they don’t act like Britt and Robin never existed.

Other than the fact that she claimed she was perfectly fine with living her “normal, boring” life and she didn’t send Shauna the tape to blow up her own life. Yeah, OKAY girl. But I am still so bothered by how many details Melissa somehow knew about what had been happening with the other adult women even though she decided to fake her own death and move hours away and never speak to anyone she knew from her former life ever again, parents and siblings included.

How the heck did she know all those details about what transpired at Lottie’s compound when Natalie and Kevyn Tan died? How in the world did she know about Lottie and her compound period when even Misty somehow managed to miss all of that? She was obviously keeping tabs on them, but how? There was someone there at the compound the night everything unfolded that isn’t a Yellowjacket, and that is Walter. This little detail has made me wonder for a long time now if it’s somehow possible that Melissa and Walter could somehow be connected.

Could Melissa have recruited Walter to help her spy on the other adult women so she knew when to make her move at the right time? Or could Walter have tracked Melissa down and decided to recruit her to help him for some reason? I just can’t come up with any reasonable and valid explanation as to how Melissa knew all that stuff without being told by someone who was there. She claimed not to have known Lottie was dead but that could have easily been a lie. Melissa truly is the wild card of the adult timeline as of now.

I've been thinking about what the public is actually going to say when the girls come home, and I think there's a pretty horrible irony waiting for us.

They're a high school soccer team that survived 19 months in the wilderness. You already know what the headlines are going to be. Teamwork. Sisterhood. Unbreakable bonds. These brave girls never gave up on each other.

And technically, that last part is going to sound believable because they really did function as a team out there.

That's what makes it so disturbing.

They assigned roles. They followed leaders. They made collective decisions and convinced themselves that everyone had to participate for the good of the group. Even the hunts became an organized activity with rules, rather than random acts of violence.

The same qualities that made them a successful soccer team helped turn their worst decisions into something everyone was responsible for.

But here's the part that really gets me: Natalie only manages to contact the outside world because she breaks away from the group and acts against what its leaders want.

The person who potentially saves everyone is the person who stops being a team player.

So my theory is that when they're rescued, the public narrative will be almost the exact opposite of what actually happened. The girls will be celebrated for sticking together, while the thing that finally saved them was someone having the courage to go against the others.

And I don't think the survivors will even need to invent that narrative themselves. Reporters, families, the school, everyone will be desperate for an uplifting story about these girls who overcame impossible odds together.

I can practically picture an interviewer asking what kept them alive, one of the girls saying "each other," and everyone applauding.

Meanwhile, every survivor in that room would understand that answer a little differently.

I honestly think a scene like that could be more uncomfortable to watch than another hunt.

hiii ive been dying to watch this show for forever, and finally got around to it recently! ii just finished s2 e6 and i just wanted to say wow. shauna as a character is so irredeemable at some points but she uses her almost midwestern "op, im sorry" sad mom voice in the adult timeline to throw me off and sympathize/make excuses for her behavior. seeing all the things she's dealt with in the wilderness so far makes her an amazingly interesting character study. supernatural elements aside, i love watching these characters cope and process / spiral from their trauma in different ways both in the adult and teen timelines. so very good so far! not sure where it'll go from here but i'm excited to keep watching. thanks for reading! <3

I’m doing a rewatch now and wanted us as a community to create the bible of Lottie day saints.

1 - rationing equally
2 - the ceremonial hunt is announced by popular vote
3 - refusing the draw means you are the prey
4 - the prey can be spared by a hunter falling prey to the wilderness
5 - charms and blessing can be bestowed by the Antler Queen or Lottie, Lottie or the Queen can interpret them

What else?

I know Lottie held ceremonies in the mornings, attendance was not mandatory…

I can’t make it out or decide who is wearing what. Sorry if this has been asked and thanks for any help!

Started as a doodle at work. The concept idea behind it is the wilderness overpowering technology. Idk I thought it turned out neat.

I was under the impression Gen died pre rescue, I’m assuming what’s going to happen is they’re going to be screwed since Akilah poisoned the animals they more than likely return to the crash site to be found and they’re waiting longer than expected, boom a hunt. I’m on s3 e7 and now I’m a little confused, is it just a plot hole? To me the way they mention Gen and Melissa bringing the tape home makes it seem like they made it home because how else? I do think it’s likely we may see characters who choose to end their lives post rescue because of the guilt they’re facing and I’ve seen some post rescue hunt theories. Long winded way of saying how would Gen bring back the tape if she died out there?

I always like when both the adult and teen counterparts interact with each other when one is on the brink of death, but I also hope Callie has nightmares about Young Shauna, since she wants to be able to understand her

as in, I know that s4 will show pre rescue, directly post rescue, and adult timeline.

but will pre rescue + post rescue be simultaneously to cause more mystery (I feel like it may be chaotic) or will post rescue happen consecutively once everything pre rescue is wrapped up?

ofc adult timeline is happening in its own scheme but I did think it'd be interesting to get to parallel directly post rescue with adult timeline regarding how they have been coping

does anybody have an idea as to what Shauna is wearing for her necklace/chest piece? it seems to be some antlers tied together with wire, but im not too sure. I’m trying to make a costume.

I literally just finished making the cosplay and was suddenly offered a scare actor gig. They wanted to know if I could provide my own costume and make-up. I sent them a picture of the Antler Queen and asked if something based on that would work.

They said yes, and I am sooooooooo ready!

Maybe I am understanding this show very differently than most others, but to me, it’s a warning against using Dark Magic/Witchcraft at the risk of losing what makes you “Human”.

I keep seeing the repeated theme of those who “kept their soul”/“didn’t bend to the wilderness” with those people being taken out, ended early. The characters who prioritized their physical lives, but not their humanity, are left alive, but only technically. They enter a sort of zombie-ism. Here, but not. Existing only summarily, in the inbetween.

I think this realization came through during the scenes where they cannibalized a certain “young man” (don’t want to create spoilers), and the song (once a poem) is playing in the background: “magic is afoot. God is alive. Many weak men hungered. Many strong men thrived.” It talks about how Magic “loves the hungry”, ie the desperate. But once you feed yourself off of it, it leaves the person as an empty shell of who they once were— their humanity is gone. Now they exist in a half-dead land.

I think the underlying theme is that not all survival is “good”. Not all survival is “worth it”. To me, it gives the message: Fear what can kill your soul, not that which can only kill your body…

Please feel free to disagree. But any thoughts? 🤷🏽‍♀️

So we know that Melissa faked her death post-rescue to be able to survive into the adult timeline.

I'm wondering that because that plot was written after the death of adult-Natalie, will the writers have Natalie help Melissa to set up her new identity? We don't know much about Melissa's home life etc in the teen timeline, so it's possible she might go to Natalie for her old drug connections to find a way to get a new ID.

Melissa wasn't ever mentioned by name in the adult timeline in S1/2, so it wouldn't exactly be a retcon, but it would be interesting to have adult-Natalie knowing that Melissa was alive - or at least that she lived longer post-rescue before Natalie stopped giving a shit. And we know from screenshots that adult-Melissa will be interviewed, so she might namedrop Natalie in the process.

I don't really want this to be a plot point, but it would be interesting to hear about Natalie again in the adult timeline with her gone.

What do you think?

Ive taken 2 weeks off of this show and I have an episode left of season 1. I genuinely can't look at food the same anymore after this watching this I feel like im going to throw up.

The dream where shauna gave birth to her baby traumatized. Its a shame that the show is really good. I dont know whether to keep watching it to enjoy life without it 😭😭

The main plot twist is kinda obvious now (still, dont spoil it) and I wanna watch it but I just cant. How did it make you feel? Did you guys feel this too?😭

Just wanted to share what me and my girlfriend did this year :) it was so much fun to do!!!!! I love this show and it was so cool to be them.

The character on the right is named Taissa

I was scrolling and saw this, currently still giggling at it. Please enjoy.

I'm on a rewatch and I'm struck by how many deaths are have an element of accidents

Travis - presented as a murder or suicide, turns out it was an attempt at creating an NDE that went wrong

Nat - accidentally injected with opiates by Misty

Javi - fell through a patch of ice, allowed to drown

Mari - fell in spike pit that wasn't meant for her

Lottie - shoved down the stares by Callie, who didn't mean to kill her

Crystal - accidentally walked backward over a cliff (thanks to Misty again)

Jackie - froze to death.

Nat's dad - accidentally shoots himself

There's so much sheer bad luck around them
