Has Yellowjackets gotten to weird to be good?

Also Natalie's heroic attempt to save them!

At least we finally know who pit girl and antler queen are.

Are we in for a showdown between Callie and Shauna next season or are they going to team up - or both?

I don’t think mom or daughter have the capacity to surprise at this point, do you? Shauna has been a villain and manipulator since the pilot. The reason grown women insist otherwise is because they empathize immediately with “fat smart coulda woulda shoulda been at Brown girl” and as a reflex insist Shauna has virtues that she’s never been shown to have.

Shauna is the “curvy” manic pixie dream girl as envisioned by women. She writes in a diary! She was Ivy adjacent kind of! Her kid is a dick and her husband’s dumb! Diets are hard! Life is most unfair to her!

The best part of that finale was Natalie escaping and getting help. I love a survival show and the idiotic “IT” business is just awful. For the life of me, I don’t understand why they didn’t all gang up on Shauna and kill HER. I can’t stand seeing her ordering everyone around to do her bidding. Talking about teen Shauna, of course. I want someone to wipe that smug look right off her face.

As for adult Shauna, wtf. I have no words other than this cesspool needs to end.

The intro is one of the worst I've ever seen. I always skip it. I just want to see how they were rescued and then it needs to end. Though I have to say, my favorite character is the young Natalie. She's a true hero. Older Natalie was beyond annoying.

It’s like how people are so obsessed Pierce Brosnan’s wife for being “real”.

Very astute observation. I've always heard people raving about her acting, but have yet to see her play something outstandingly well.

Try Away We Go. Great movie and she plays a small character, but brilliantly.

Sophis Thatcher is a far better actress than Juliette Lewis. The young cast is excellent across the board, the older cast quite uneven in comparison.

Totally agree. The young cast really is fantastic. Misty is so annoying I want to smack her!! But she's acting the part brilliantly. And Shauna is truly unhinged.

+2 I'm always glued to the screen when the young cast is on, even this season. Young Van and Taissa were so great together, but I didn't think the characters/chemistry was remotely the same with the older versions. Older Lottie is just not a good actress. Juliette Lewis is just so...Juliette Lewis. Shauna and Misty have the best synergy between the younger and older characters, even though the discrepancy with Melanie Lynskey's baby voice bugs me a little. Hilary Swank was a complete letdown as adult Melissa, but maybe she'll improve in Season 4.

Yep. It would have been so much better to show how they are rescued and then END IT. Ridiculous.

Its painful. Dream within dreams. Hallucinations. Gas poisoning hallucinations, horrible writing and story lines. Science fiction crap. Dreams more dreams. The afterlife. Killings. Reviving dead people. Insanity. Time wasted on this garbage 🗑️. I'm done. Not watching another season.

Yes, fully concur. And yet, I know I will hate watch another episode. Just please let it be the last.
