Spoilers for Doomcoming, the ninth episode ofYellowjacketsseason one, below.
Doomcoming feels like a significant turning point in the evolution of Lottie.
The party, the shrooms we called it the orgy.
Losing Laura Lee is kind of her breaking point.
At the party, she is obviously grieving and has been pushed back to the edge.
When you add psychedelics to someone who is already questioning their reality, it can go south pretty quickly.
Lottie is at the center of that.
Theres so much stigma around that topic, and its been portrayed negatively on film many times.
What role did the baptism have in Lotties character development?
She doesnt tell anyone that she had a vision of something bad happening to Laura Lee.
With the other girls and the river … maybe its a collective kind of PTSD thing.
Almost like a collective imagining like theyre feeding each other.Yeah.
Thats whats so interesting about the seance.
Part of me wonders, why are you having a seance?
But its another huge moment for Lottie in terms of a spirit, or demonic entity visiting her.
The way I looked at it was more of an accumulation.
The way I approached it was a building up of fucked-up shit.
It was a big team effort to choreograph how we would all come together.
She feels like everyone has moved on pretty quickly from Laura Lees death.
Then you add shrooms to it, and shes gonna go find answers somewhere else.
But I think they at least Lottie, probably would have gone through with it.
I think Shauna also would have gone through with it.
They are the ones leading the charge in that scene.
I sort of anticipated Lottie, but not Shauna.Yeah, definitely Lottie!
I think it made sense that the two who are struggling the most are leading the charge, weirdly.
All other characters wereplayed by stunt performers.
But it was kind of insane.
Is it actual antler?
Is it plastic?They said it was real antler horns, but they shed them usually.
We had that and a headpiece covered with earrings and leftover pieces of T-shirts and things like that.
It was hard for it to stay on your head while we were fighting.
This show has been very rabidly consumed in terms of theories.
Do you have a theory group chat?
I didnt even think of that!
It will be interesting to see who the audience thinks is on the good side or the bad side.
Do you think theres any possibility that the deer headdress changes hands?I think it naturally fits Lottie.
No one else has that way of thinking that surrounds the Antler Queen.
But Im not sure.
I troll Reddit and its interesting to see other peoples picks for who it is.
And I think shes an empath and worries more about what other people are feeling than herself.
The characters for whom theres a younger version andan older version, those performances play off each other.
But we dont yet know if there is an adult Lottie.
She would be a lot different in the adult version.
It gave me a lot of freedom and ease to figure out my own world.
And if someone did come in later, we could pick it apart.
Do you have anyone in mind to play the adult Lottie?
People love fan casting for this show.I would love to see who people are casting as older Lottie.
Everyone on set was talking about everyones different versions if we had adult counterparts.
Who have people been saying?
One of my colleagues said Jordana Brewster.
I thought Fairuza Balk, give you some strongThe Craftenergy.
[Musing] Okay … Yeah, Im not sure.
The show is known for its excellent 90s needle drops.
And I think I could do pretty good out there.
I also just yearn to live in a forest, in a hut, away from everyone.
When Laura Lee was alive, I think she kind of looked after Lottie.
And then I think from then on, it just grows out.
She doesnt give a fuck anymore.
Were not hunting them, per se, but I think you would end up eating human.
At least one, if you have no other options.
