r/Yellowjackets

When will I stop thinking about him? I binged the show all at once about two months back and I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about Javi at least 5x weekly since I watched that episode. from the horror on Nat's face when he first fell in, imagining how he felt slipping under that icy water, Travis' shock when they come back with him. ugh and the song that played at the end of that scene! (I love the band Low so I was particularly moved they used that song) I've seen characters from all types of shows die but this one just took the cake for me in terms of tragedy. He died trying to save someone else and like... when will it end guys? 😭 I want to stop thinking about that scene when I'm just trying to wash dishes.

So early in season 1 we see Jeff and Shauna at therapy and the therapist gives them the homework of sharing an adult fantasy they never have before with each other and enacting it.

Jeff, dear himbo Jeff, wanted to roleplay an erotic encounter at his store. He is so vanilla (there's no book club?!). Later we learned about his reaction to strawberry lube (for goths and bisexuals) and Shauna told him not to be boring. When the therapist gave the homework, Shauna immediately rejected the idea. We know our girl has some wild proclivities, what do you think her desire to roleplay with Jeff would be?

Later we kind of get some insight when they have sex in Adam's studio and she talked about how when she thought Jeff was having an affair she thought it was kind of hot. And we know (at least I believe) her romantic involvement with Jeff started because of jealousy with Jackie, whether she wanted to be or be with Jackie is up for interpretation, I personally think it was a bit of both. Classic sapphic teen experience.

What are your thoughts? How twisted are Shauna's fantasies/desires? I mean, she wanted to date a mime, and was also briefly Catholic because she thought the saints were all "so tragic". She definitely loves some melodrama.

I get sick everytime I think about it lol

How would ya'll feel about the storyline being choice based? I think the episodic nature would add to the tension.

I finished the season 3 yesterday. This is my first post here and English is not my first language, so ignore any mistakes in the text.

So, Walter is a mysterious character. We don't know if he is a Yellowjackets obsessed guy, a serial killer or just matched Misty's freak too hard. When he interacts with her he seems in love, but when she's not looking, his face shows that maybe he's pretending it and has a very different motive to be with her. He's clever, rich, has a lot of free time, sociopathic tendencies and forensic and hacking knowledge. He likes true crime in a seemly unhealthy way, and let's not forget he suffered a brain injury in the past that may be affecting his behavior and capacity of taking good decisions.

My theory is: he saw the connection between the scientists disappearance and the Yellowjackets plane crash and became obsessed with solving the case. He stalked the girls and found out Misty was in the Citizen Detective forum. Since he was stalking them, he knew Shauna had an affair with Adam Martin and killed him, and also that Natalie, Misty and Tai helped her hid the body. He then made that post about Adam having a "lady friend" who killed him to attract Misty (which worked, since she downvoted his post). He then used an excuse to approach her. He made/is making everything he can to convince her to trust him and tell him everything that happened in the woods. He helped Shauna get away with Adam murder, investigated Lottie death and so on. Misty already noticed he is not someone to trust due to his very obvious stalking behavior and is pushing him away. After watching S3, I had the impression that Walter is losing his patience (and mind) which can leads to him doing something really insane in S4.

Now let's talk about Kevyn. My mom suggested it and though it sounds insane, I think it's an interesting theory. Maybe Kevyn is alive.

Hear me out: Walter drugged him and said it was a fatal dose, and Kevyn looked dead, but neither Jeff or the audience can be sure of it. Later, we see Walter shooting what seems to be Kevyn body in the car trunk and threatening to frame Saracusa for Adam Martin murder if he doesn't frame Kevyn, and when police arrives, we are leaded to think Saracusa framed Kevyn. But different of any other death in the show (Travis, Natalie, Adam, Lottie, Van), we don't really see his body in the car trunk with bullet wounds. There was no autopsy or investigation or even a funeral, at least not that we heard of. Adam Martin murder was national news, if a cop involved in the investigation was discovered to be the murderer then was killed by another cop, it would be a press circus, but the show never mentions it again.

So, there's a chance (a small one, I admit it) that Walter faked Kevyn death and arranged everything so no one would talk about it to make Shauna get her guard off and gains Misty's trust, but the two are actually working together to solve all the unsolved crimes connected to the Yellowjackets, or more probably, Walter thinks he will need Kevyn in the future and is keeping him somewhere so he won't ruin everything by showing up before the time.

I don't remember exactly how police discovered Adam Martin's body parts buried in the park, so correct me if I'm wrong, but Walter can have told Kevyn about it before changing plans.

It's absurd, but it wouldn't be the craziest shit that happened in this show.

God is alive playing while the girls get ready for the hunt creeped me out in a good way. And livin on the edge as the finale for s3 was simply iconic.

What are your top moments? And if you’re young enough to not know some of the songs, which songs have you discovered?

So this was really just a brainstorm, but I was thinking about what the reaction would have been like from their families, friends, and entire town after the crash, because that is such a genuinely tragic thing to see—that your child is missing and you have no closure. I was playing it out in my head, and then I was thinking about how that could be a really interesting way to open season four. Like it starts out with a bunch of kids at school before an announcement comes on explaining the plane had gone missing, or the families casually doing whatever at home with the tv on in the background before seeing the story.

I think it’s interesting because the first line ever said in the show comes from Allie in the pilot, who says “I’ll never forget the day I heard their plane had gone missing,” and we know this show loves to go full circle from the s3 finale, so it could be cool.

Either way, I really hope we get to see the families reactions—especially from Travis’s mom, who lost her entire family, and the families of Nat and Van, who we know canonically have frequently incapacitated / distant parents.

Anyways, does anybody have another way they think the show should open? Or things you really want to see? I’m curious.

What are you hoping season 4 covers for the yellojackets in the both teen and adult timelines, before the season comes to a close?

What direction/ending would ruin the series for you?

So I’m scrolling through Netflix looking for something to watch and the autoplay preview for a show called Unchosen starts and… they’re using the Yellowjackets wilderness vocalization “Aahh-aah” in this trailer!? Like I’m sorry what? can they do that? Anyways I’m about to start it, wonder if they will use it in the actual show too or if it was just the trailer.🤔

They are all interesting!

Hive mind makes me think of the bee parallel and Lottie’s speech about bees which I love.

However the one I was wondering what everyone thought about was “she’s made of iron sir” which is a reference to the titanic. Specifically when they are trying to explain the inevitability of the ship sinking, it was a moment of utter despair, nothing was going to fix it.

It also is a form of indictment on the narcissism of the creators of the titanic, assuming it would float in a crisis.

I also think of Jackie’s iron statue!

What do you guys think?
