sorry for the wait! I've been battling a 3 week virus, my antibiotics did their work, but I'm still not back to 100%. glad that I recorded this before it all happened so the "only" struggle was editing it in between coughs and fever dreams. maybe that's why I'm not super happy with the outcome and the way this video turned out, but I'm honestly past the point where I care that much. hope I can bring my a-game for the next one!
There's also the scene where Jackie finds Lottie standing in the lake in her PJs one morning just staring off into the sky. Lottie saw the explosion weeks before it happened.
@@nekrataali also now I’m thinking about that scene again and how jackie and lottie exchanged a few words. correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t lottie say it was colder than she expected? meaning it could also be a reference to what ultimately happened to jackie months later? 🥶🤯
@@PattyBab There's a few lines that talk about what happens in the finale. 1) Tai says it right from the get go in the pilot how they want to "freeze her out" regarding Allie. 2) Jackie says the water is cold the first time they get to the lake. 3) Jackie complains she's cold (I think in 105?) when Shauna is trying to rouse her out of bed one morning while everyone else is already up and doing chores. If I remember right, Jackie is facing towards the door at the start of the scene, which is the same position she's in during the finale. 4) Tai repeats a line about being cold in episode 107: "It won't be 'Oh I should grab my jacket' cold, but 'Dying feels like falling asleep' cold."
I’m not sure how long it took me to realize that Jeff’s actor plays Shelby’s dad in the Wilds. Apparently this guy has the type casting of the white guy in wilderness dramas with gay girls! 😆
16:55 this is one of the main things i love about jackie! she is presented by the show as self absorbed and the basic “mean” popular girl, but she’s never actually mean to anyone other than nat, who jackie clearly envies for nats ability to not care about what others think, and so she’s mean as a defense mechanism because she’s insecure. the thing i love about this scene though, is that she’s really got no idea what she did to nat by telling travis that- she’s literally just clueless and says what she wants without thinking. she’s not mean, she’s just insecure and unaware of other people’s feelings
I dunno, she was deliberately slut-shaming Nat behind her back "Her standards are low" and naming loser guys she has slept with just to make herself seem better than Nat. That is classic Mean Girl behavior. Tear others down to lift themselves up. Also outing Shauna's pregnancy to everyone because she had read the diary and knew it was Jeff's. She wanted to shame Shauna as publicly as possible. Also re-watch the scene where they are working to get the plane ready and Shauna asks Jackie why she did it. Jackie is clearly getting pleasure from Shauna's embarrassment and discomfort.
Jackie isn't consciously malicious (90% of the time), but I wouldn't say she's unaware of other people's feelings. She's an emotionally dependent, insecure teen (who's growing quite depressed too), and therefore can't afford to selflessly care about other people's feelings. But she does perceive them. Her codependent relationship with Shauna is "a coping mechanism" in a sense: dismissing Shauna's opinions and boundaries, as if Shauna were below her, to make up for her own lack of identity and self-esteem. But it's still mean. It's a power dynamic / pattern which can't exist if you're unaware of the other person's feelings. She was aware Shauna felt guilty for voting to go seek the lake, that she was distancing herself (after the pregnancy realization), that she was concerned Jackie wasn't adapting well to their new surroundings. And her first reaction is always to find ways to make Shauna feel inappropriate / humiliated / more guilty, just so it'll soothe her own insecurities: it's pretty mean. (I'm not saying Shauna was blameless in the development of that dynamic or in other aspects, just focusing on Jackie here). And overall, Jackie never apologizes to anyone. Even when it's 100% obvious to her she hurt some feelings, like with Shauna, Nat or with Van (after leaving her in the plane). She only somewhat makes amends when it can benefit her, never to soothe the person's feelings (unless it's Shauna, whose support and love she deeply depends on, and whom she loves). I'm not saying she's a bad person. Considering her parents, the fact that she's literally 17 and is stranded in a forest without any of her usual bearings, I'm empathetic. But it's not that she's unaware of other people's feelings or needs, it's that she doesn't really care unless they threaten/benefit her in some way.
@@Mark-pl3bv You summed it up beautifully! "... it's that she doesn't really care unless they threaten/benefit her in some way." I couldn't have said it better.
I love her! I didn’t realize people don’t like her? she’s a hormonal teenager who helplessly watches her parents go through a little marriage crisis, cheating and trust issues. Of course she’s going to act up a little. I love that she’s so protective of shauna and gave her the nudge to check adam out!
I don't like Callie but I understand her. Her dad completely fails at setting boundaries/establishing discipline and spends most of his time at work. And her mom is a psychopathic, cannibalistic, emotionally-stunted manipulator. Callie never stood a chance.
@@testfire3000 i see a lot of group-think with reactors. it's almost like they all watch other peoples reactions first and then just follow the script. because they all have the same reaction and say the same thing moment by moment.
"the beautiful dark haired girl would tell me 'i saw this in a dream' and i'd say 'yes ma'am' thats how my brain works" GHDFHFDSH WHEN I TELL YOU THE FANDOM AGREES WITH YOU
I watch YJ religiously and hadn't noticed the connection between Lottie's baptism vision and Laura Lee's... um, "big moment". Always something extra with this show I love it!
There's also the scene where Jackie finds Lottie standing in the lake in her PJs one morning just staring off into the sky. Lottie saw the explosion weeks before it happened. The last shot of Lottie in this episode is her standing in the same spot.
@@nekrataali You keep dropping bombs on me tonight! I am what some might consider a superfan (and others might consider unhealthily obsessed 🤣) yet I have never connected those two scenes.
17:57 i (and a bunch of the fandom) headcanon jackie as being autistic, which kind of explains why she keeps unintentionally making things worse, and why she’s struggling so much in the wilderness. she has a strict set of social rules (which is why her influence falls apart when her environment & the social structure change), a strong moral code, but is also socially unaware of other people’s feelings. we’ve seen throughout the show that she cares about people, especially shauna, but she keeps hurting them because she doesn’t understand when she’s doing it. GOD shes so complex it hurts so good
I also think Shauna and Jackie are in love, but don't want to admit it (because 90s homophobia). She's not mad Shauna is pregnant with Jeff's kid, she's mad Shauna isn't pregnant with hers.
Not Patty saying ‘the fuck am I watching’ and speaking for me! I am supporting my friend and also watching through my fingers. This show messes me up man.
so i only started watching yellowjackets 3 days ago (ive finished it obviously, how can u not) but the way you just kept calling it all and i suspected only like 20% of what you said on your first watch?? like the dress?? jeff has money now because he blackmailed?? we stan a genious queen
i absolutely love your reactions to yellowjackets. i only recently stumbled upon your videos (yay! for happenstance!). You're quirky, adorably weird and i am here for it. i've watched all of your S1 videos, and am antici...pating your S2 videos. xoxo d d
Great video! (As always)😊 I hope you feel better soon! If you're looking for another show with wlw representation I'd suggest NCIS: Hawaii. The main couple is wlw and the height difference is chef's kiss (one is 5'9" and the other is 5'3"). And they practically share a braincell

Get better soon bestie, prioritize your health always. We love you.
Hope you feel better soon, love your reactions
I am glad to hear you are feeling mostly better! Thank you for this post, I admit I look forward to every one.
THE REACTION WAS PERFECT!! ur amazing
Not Lottie predicting her girlfriend's death. That scene DESTROYED me, even though I already fully expected it to happen, I wasn't ready.

yeah, christina ricci was pregnant for pretty much all of season 1 and they clearly gave up hiding in that scene lmao
You can really see her baby bump when she snorts Natalie’s cocaine 🍚👃😂
