#yellowjackets showtime

LIVE

Ok, admittedly, yellowjackets was very good. Very accurate portrayal of teenage girl dynamics, relationships with eachother, religion, and just what isolation can do to a person

But god I am frustrated. They built up so much. We still don’t actually know what happened to Travis. From the first moment of the show, they built up the cult. They built that scene around the fire, eating someone, wearing creepy antlers and animal furs. The scene where someone, we don’t know who, falls into a spike trap and is then strung up and bled out for that ritual. But we never got to see the ritual itself, or the cult in full force, we just got to see the weird shit they got up to while on Shrooms.

And there’s other loose ends. Lottie is alive? Travis’s death? That alter in Taissa’s basement, with the symbol and the dead dog? Callie knows about Adam, and probably suspects that her mom had something to do with his disappearance?

I get that the show is designed to have quite a few seasons we have yet to get to. But this is too many blank spaces. It felt underwhelming to spend a good chunk of the show building up to the cult and its ritual, and then only including that scene with Lottie, Van, Misty, and the bear heart.
