So now Shauna's the scariest in both timelines. Christina Ricci's performance making that phonecall to Walter though, brilliant. And very telling that the worst thing young Misty could think of to say about Ben is that he's gay. Worse, apparently, than trying to get all the teenage girls pregnant. That's the nineties for you...
I think Misty was just throwing everything she had at him to stop him jumping. I like the way that though she's done terrible things, they're making it clear that Misty probably isn't a psychopath in either timeline. The girls randomly talking about eating Crystal was icky, and after thinking I had a handle on how many girls there are I'm back to not having a clue. Shauna beating the shit out of Lottie was horrifying, Van's depression in the past about not knowing why she kept surviving dovetails neatly with the fact she's dying in the present, and clearly still feels she hasn't justified her survival all those years ago. There's still time, Van! Not one but two Twin Peaks inflected scenes. Misty's wonderful song and dance routine vision, and Ben being heartbreakingly thrown out of his alt-history fantasy. I especially liked the shot of him with the antlers behind him! I wonder if there's more than one supernatural presence at work here? The bit that shit me up however was Lottie's therapy session, that was really nicely done!
You can call Lottie's landline. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment...ber-lotties-223000323.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
I'm loving season 2 but I get bummed when I realize that we're approaching the finale and then even more bummed by news like this: https://www.indiewire.com/news/breaking-news/yellowjackets-season-3-writers-room-strike-1234851859/
2.8 - I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom so much in the last week that when Ben found the tree cave I expected "discovery" and the cave name to flash up on screen. Poor Javi. He'd only just started talking again.
Just found this thread. Not much I can add to the details. It is a great series with horrifying and heartfelt moments. I have never really gotten the impression that there is a supernatural element to what is going on. I am expecting Shauna to go Daenerys by Season 5 if it lasts that long. I am sure she's manipulating everyone at this point, and will be surprised if that is not the case. Lynskey has already shown she can do a great job playing a duplicitous character back on Two and a Half Men. One thing I am uncertain of though. Did they eat Shauna's baby. I'm assuming they did, but it may also have been just a vision.
Good ep. One more to go? It's very tightly done. Jeff is just great. Everything is horrifying. Frodo's massive house !
So Frodo turned on Misty? I liked those two together. Maybe he didn’t get her voicemail? Or maybe something else is in the works (maybe he’s going to try and divert the authorities?). When Travis finds out what happened to Javi it’s going to get even uglier than it already is. Is he going to help eat his own brother? I constantly marvel at how people come up with this shit and write it down. The writers deserve a fair shake.
Most of them. Here's an exchange from the latest FAST AND FURIOUS. ''What are you looking at?'' ''You.'' But it is shit; that's undeniable.
Interesting that Jackie's necklace clearly forms part of their ritual and thus part of the hunt, nice that we now know what the queen of hearts in the titles related to! Shame about Javi but of all of them the actor was going to struggle to stay looking remotely the same age so it makes sense to kill him off. Travis is not going to be happy, only the fact that in dying Javi saves Natalie might keep him sane. OMG the mouse! I can't believe Walter is dropping Misty in it, suspect he's going to misdirect the cops somehow. @theenglish they didn't eat her baby. Shauna was able to bury it (could they not have eaten the placenta though?) Shauna is most definitely the scariest one of them all.
I miss the 22 minimum we used to get pre-SOPRANOS. 22 may seem like a lot, but there once was a 38 minimum pre-my birth.
Well turns out episode 9 was the finale, which feels like a weird length for a season of tv (season one was ten episodes, wasn't it?) The whole season felt a bit weirdly place: the first five episodes were really slow (did we need so much of Natalie in the cult?) and the last four had tons of stuff happening. I enjoyed it anyway, it's fun. FINALE SPOLIERS Did not see Natalie's death coming. I do have to say though that Sophie Thatcher has been excellent all season and I think she's already a better actress than Juliette Lewis (nothing against her, really, she's just a bit...cartoony?), so we're still going to get the best of Natalie in season 3. Walter is either a complete genius or really incredibly lucky his insane plan worked. Did he research moustached cop and know he'd be exactly the kind of creepy it would be easy to manipulate in such a way? Seems unlikely! I'm pleased they've completely moved away from the supernatural element. In season one I thought Lottie's visions were getting so perfect that it was becoming hard to explain them rationally, but in season two it's very much all just a belief system the girls invented for themselves. "It was just us." I'm happy Jeff can go back Googling himself now.
Well...that was something. Hunting Shauna, that was pretty messed up for a minute. Frodo to the rescue! I hope that puts that whole story-line to bed. I was a bit confused by the whole Misty syringe thing. Was the plan to sedate Lottie or kill her? That whole scene was kind of awkward I think. I did like the plane scene as she died though. Coach has lost his shit. Methinks Coach Burgers are on the menu next season. Poor Javi, and poor Travis. That was so brutal.
I am still watching the season finale. I realized one thing I cannot stand about some of the scenes in this show. There are too many shots filmed on a stage during the wilderness scenes. This is particularly obvious when there is absolutely no wind, the snow does not even look like it has any moisture in it (should be powdery if they were really far north, or crusty/icy further south in Canada--and it should melt and make things wet--also, it never falls from the trees when they are walking through them!) Also, the effects of snow in the cold on bare skin are never dealt with. It may be nitpicky for some, but these hugely important details and omitting them in the context of the show is irritating.
The irony is that they filmed those scenes in Canada—but on a soundstage in Vancouver. https://www.indiewire.com/features/...tion-design-filming-location-snow-1234821811/
