Spoilers follow forYellowjacketsthroughepisode nine, Doomcoming.
Ellie Sattler, sexism in survival situations without treating it like a puzzle to be unlocked.
What is the deal with that monstrous eyeless man and that red glint to Taissas gaze?
Why is Shaunas daughter, Callie, such a brat?
Who dies in that opening scene?
The sequence is all of 90 seconds or so, and its eerie and brutal.
(Its giving, very bleakly,Wind River.)
Then the young woman falls into a deep pit full of spikes and dies.
Is she being hunted?
That doesnt seem like much to go on and yet.
1.Mari, booze-maker and Jackie sycophant
1.
Mari is that No.
If she were, shed probably be a real jerk about it; Im thinking Shannen Doherty inHeathersvibes.
I could see Mari complaining about something innocuous (not getting the fur pelt she wanted?)
so annoyingly the other survivors are like,Ugh, lets just eat her already.
2.Lottie, in a twist!
Yes, we know Lottie is the Antler Queen.
But looks-wise, with her height and her beachy waves, she could be the running girl, right?
Does someone come for Lottie and claim the Antler Queen mantle for themselves?
Eat your heart out,The Crown.
3.The obvious choice: Jackie
3.
This is the easy pick, but lets indulge it.
What if Jackies complete lack of outdoor skills turn her from teammate to prey?
She hasnt been chopping wood.
Shes pretty bad at collecting water.
(Van is definitely the girl standing over the pit wearing that coed soccer T-shirt, right?)
And Jackie slept with Travis, who doesnt belong to her, according to Lottie.
Maybe thats enough to get her on everyones ostracize and eat list?
I do wonder, though: What happened to the necklace the girl was wearing?
Could someone have pocketed it after pulling her out of the pit but before draining her body?
Andif Jackie is actually a time traveler, well, that opens up various other possibilities.
4.Yellowjacket #1, Yellowjacket #2, or another extra?
How many Yellowjackets are there?
But that number certainly shrinks or expands as the series desires.
Remember them, the two on the far right of Shauna and Travis?
Or her, on the right of Natalie?
You probably dont because they havent been given names or screen time!
They certainly seem like theyre just sticking around to serve as meat.
5.No one because the cannibalism is an illusion!
Remember how zealously Misty bit into that gas-station jerky?
There is no doubt in my mind, but only time will tell.
