This is both brilliant and really messed up. 💀

Welp. 🤷🏻

Anyway, regardless of how you feel about the finale, I think you can acknowledge that this is just awful:

So, I know some people really enjoyed the #Yellowjackets finale… and some people… did not (is getting death threats a showrunner right of passage? Because i can live without that one!) But I would love to take a moment to thank everyone who came on this ride with us 💛🖤💛🖤 🧵

I don’t know how I feel about the finale and Nat’s death myself — it felt so anticlimactic to me, but maybe a rewatch of the season/series will change my mind — but this behavior is just ridiculous. I should also note that Lyle is getting a lot of support from fellow writers in the comments and quote-tweets.

I don’t know which cast member said this, but everyone’s spoken similarly about the finale, and I really have no idea what they have in store for us. It’s going to be stressful — that’s for sure.

That was phenomenal. Definitely my favorite episode of the season. The adults playing off each other and, of course, the ending have to be the highlights though. Everyone’s said the finale is by far the most shocking and the darkest episode of the season, if not series, so I am scared. My guess is that the cabin somehow burns down.

Ah ok. I assumed it was just on that occasion. Anyway this was my favourite episode this season.

Yeah, I was not 100% sure what to make of it either at first, but I watched an interview with Simone Kessell last night, and it seems like she was hallucinating all this time — which makes total sense considering she’s had other hallucinations this season too. And agreed — great episode. It almost felt meditative in a way, which I loved.

Well, I was not expecting the therapist to be a hallucination…

The Lottie reveal… I was not expecting that.

Next week is going to be insane.

It’s been a while since critical reception to a show has confused me quite like it has with this one. This a perfectly good — and, at times, great — series, and Episodes 4 & 5 in particular were quite strong. Elizabeth Olsen is crushing it — she has such a great Emmy clip in the fifth ep — and, honestly, I think Lily Rabe was fantastic with what she was given as well (no surprise there though). And I’m glad to see Tom Pelphrey, who devoured the fifth ep, getting stuff to do too.

Considering the audience ratings for this are quite high and it seems like people are actually watching it, I think it’s being greatly underestimated. The subject matter is clearly in the academy’s wheelhouse and the show has so many big names attached to it, so I wouldn’t be shocked if this overperforms.

Does everyone else also feel like there was a significant uptick in buzz this week? Obviously the hype for the episode helped, but great to see that the hiatus didn’t hurt it at all.

The amount of hate I’m seeing for this show on Twitter right now after the newest episode is kind of shocking.. I knew some people felt underwhelmed by the season but this is surprising to me idk.

Maybe it’s just my timeline, but I see nothing but love and praise for the episode. (Edit: It looks like some people — stans of The Wilds — decided to hate-tweet, so maybe that’s what you’re seeing.)

I just finished and it’s easily top 3 for me. Nélisse = perfect. Score = perfect. Comedy = perfect

It’s true we will have a 2 weeks hiatus?

It appears so, unfortunately. 😫

Agree with everyone here — this episode was just awesome. I also thought all the comedy in it was A+ (all those scenes between Shauna and Randy were absolute gold). I can’t believe they are gonna make us wait two weeks for *that* episode (cannot wait to see what Liz Garbus has in stone for us). I also agree that the score is underrated — it’s bloody brilliant.

Re: Yellowjackets — I am personally loving this season (Ep. 2 is easily a series highlight IMO), but I think once the adults finally reunite — I am pretty sure Misty and Nat will cross paths in this week’s episode — things will begin to pick up immensely. The cast has also said that Ep. 6 and everything after that is completely wild, so I expect a pretty big climax. I think all the table-setting will ultimately be worth it.

The second episode was a showcase for the directing of the series, one of the best as a whole imo.

The interesting part is that we have three director nominees from the last three years helming episodes this season: Ben Semanoff (who did Ep. 2), Liz Garbus and Karyn Kusama. Curious to see whether all three are submitted (I assume they will be, though, especially since 2 is a big ep and both Garbus’ and Kusama’s episodes have also been hyped up by the cast).

I loved every second of the very unhinged second episode.
