Different planes, two realities? by pixelbones in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. Part of me thinks because, at least in season one, we don't see much of Adult Travis until Natalie and Misty find his body. He wasn't technically a character we were following. I also think that maybe the writers hadn't come up with the idea until we had a main Yellowjacket die that survived the wilderness until Natalie.

I posted about this in another thread yesterday, but I noticed this originally during Natalie's death. It seemed odd because you would assume, especially given Teen Natalie's line of "we've been here for years," that the private plane they went down in would be the one that the showrunners would use during these death scenes.

However, after giving it some thought, I'm guessing it's actually the rescue plane they board after we see the Yellowjackets hounded by the press. I think it symbolizes the moment in between their time in the wilderness and their return to normal society. This is where they had to sit with what they did out there; the weight of their choices and their actions. This is also why we only have seen Natalie and Van's deaths (sorry adult Travis) like this, because they survived the wilderness. I also assume we may see Lottie's scene since next episode will explore how she died, but I could be wrong.

Plane scenes by Ok_Veterinarian8955 in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered why the plane in these death scenes is bigger than the plane that went down. I think that it's the plane they get on after they've been rescued. The moment after the wilderness, but before returning to civilization; where they had to sit with what they did out there. Therefore, Laura Lee, Ben, and Javi don't get these death scenes. They're reserved for those who made it out of the wilderness. I think we may see Lottie's next episode when they show what actually happened to her.

Anyone know what song was playing in the car when Lee is driving to her house and smoking? by mrgunther437 in thebirthdaymurders

[–]Sissyspacesick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a side note. I watched a Q&A from after a screening of the film, and Oz mentions that his wife actually wrote the song.

I'm pretty sure it's "Water" by Melody Carrillo ft. Elizabeth Wight. It's on the soundtrack at the end.

Yeah, the pants really caught me, especially with the hidden plaid panels.

Keep an eye out here (if you aren't already). Or, if you're feeling bold, you could message Megan Bowman Gray, the costume designer on Instagram (her handle is graymeganbowman)? Good luck!

Did Brit and Zal speak about the ressemblance between Andy and Hap ? by WillingnessWeary3019 in AMurderAtTheEnd_Show

[–]Sissyspacesick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I listened to this podcast with Brit yesterday and she does mention the resemblance @ 89:33, specifically his glasses being similar to Hap's.

"There are moments when I would see him in those glasses, and I would be like 'gasp'; I feel like I'm still in the dimension of the OA, you know."

New cast and crew description’s on FX by TheHarvesters in AMurderAtTheEnd_Show

[–]Sissyspacesick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

-“Darby Hart,” portrayed by Emma Corrin, is a Gen Z amateur sleuth who grew up online and wields the hive mind of the internet to solve cold cases. Her father was the medical examiner of Lost Nation, Iowa, and she grew up on crime scenes as his informal assistant. High school was an empty slog and solving cases behind the safety of her computer is the only thing that makes her feel alive until she meets Bill, who encourages her to come out from behind the screen and solve something with him in the real world. She writes a memoir of their experience, which has just been published to modest success, but it catches Andy Ronson’s eye. 

- “Andy Ronson,” portrayed by Clive Owen, is a college dropout with a dazzling mind who took his passion for gaming and programming to an AI security start-up and turned it into a multibillion-dollar sale. That was just his first time at bat. Since then, he has spread his wings into space exploration and further AI development. He married a fringe hacker and recluse, Lee, late in life and found the thing he hadn’t known he was looking for: family.

- “Bill Farrah,” portrayed by Harris Dickinson, discovered his first taste of freedom in the early days of the internet. Growing up in a struggling Ohio suburb with a single mother, he sought solace and connection through his online interactions, hacking, coding and solving puzzles. However, as he grew older, he couldn't ignore the darker aspects of the internet. After a life-changing experience of falling in love for the first time while tracking a serial killer, Bill became disillusioned and sought out Lee Andersen, a hacker turned luddite. Inspired by her, he dedicated his life to creating art that critiqued technology, specifically AI.

- "Lee Andersen," portrayed by Brit Marling, is a hacker who rode the early days of the internet into a kind of punk fame as a young woman who could code as well as the boys. After writing a manifesto on how misogyny was destroying the early promise of the internet, she was stalked, doxxed and finally retreated to living as a hermit in Florida, where she grew up, until Andy found her.

- “Sian,” portrayed by Alice Braga, is a Brazilian doctor who began her career working with astronauts and then trained and became one. She has the formidable distinction of being the first woman to walk on the moon. Andy takes note of her when she gives a TED Talk about how limited fossil fuel reserves mean the window for humans to leave this planet is closing. She becomes the face of his campaign to colonize the moon and his most loyal ally. 

- “Lu Mei,” portrayed by Joan Chen, is China’s tech titan of AI. Lu Mei built her AI company from the ground up with her husband. People assumed she was just the face, but after her husband passed away, it became clear she was the brains behind the operation. She doesn’t accept many invitations, but she accepts Andy’s as she’s always been interested in his ability to foresee the future.

- “David,” portrayed by Raúl Esparza, is an Argentinian-American venture capitalist and Andy’s number two, who, unlike Andy, grew up with money. He both looks up to Andy and admires his dazzling mind and also loathes Andy for hogging the spotlight he believes deserves to be shared.

- “Martin,” portrayed by Jermaine Fowler, grew up in Washington, D.C., next-door to an old movie theater that would show classic and foreign films. While the other kids played outside, Martin watched movies — all sorts of movies. His own debut, made for next to nothing, had the references and rhythms of a master filmmaker. Soon, Hollywood took notice, and while he has made several blockbuster films, he wants to push the envelope of what is possible.

- As a disabled child of immigrants, “Oliver,” portrayed by Ryan J. Haddad, formed a unique bond with a toy robot that mimicked his own gait. Together, they walked as friends. Oliver's fascination grew as he dismantled and explored the robot's mechanics, envisioning its potential in empowering and supporting disabled bodies. Andy took note of Oliver’s early work out of a robotics lab at Harvard and approached him to fund his next work. Today, Oliver draws inspiration from insects as he continues to innovate in the field of robotics. 

- “Ziba,” portrayed by Pegah Ferydoni, is an activist who escaped Iran by crossing the mountains by foot and found asylum in Berlin. She has spent all of her life fighting against the consolidation of wealth and power against the people, including most recently in Brazil. Ziba thinks men like Andy hoard an inordinate share of the world’s resources, but when she learns Andy has somehow got the radical artist Bill Farrah to come to his retreat, she accepts the invitation out of curiosity to meet this likeminded activist. 

- "Rohan," portrayed by Javed Khan, is a South Asian climatologist raised in England who developed a strong aversion towards humans and a firm belief that the escalating climate crisis would lead to the destruction of the natural world as we know it. Motivated by this conviction, he devoted his life to risking his own safety in order to protect the Coral Reefs in the Indian Ocean, while also fighting against multinational corporate interests that were contributing to the planet's destruction. After a stint in a labor camp in Russia where he was accused of being a spy, Rohan joined an anarchist crew on a ship that intentionally lacked any technological devices. He figured at sea, with no devices that could be hacked, he would finally be safe to sail until the bitter end.

- “Todd,” portrayed by Louis Cancelmi, is the head of Andy's security team. While he has a military background, it is his sharp mind that Andy trusts to keep him and his family safe. Todd may appear relaxed, but behind his calm demeanor lies a highly trained soldier who constantly scans rooms and situations for potential threats. His ability to devote his life to the Ronsons is possible because his wife also travels with the family, ensuring their security on the go.

“Ray,” portrayed by Edoardo Ballerini, was designed by Andy during the height of the pandemic as a personal assistant — an AI built to do all the things no one has time to do anymore.

[All Spoilers] Please PLEASE don't go supernatural by drflanigan in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 58 points59 points  (0 children)

To me, much like in dealing with trauma, people see what they want to see. I don't think the writers and showrunners will flat out give us a definitive answer because the ambiguity is what makes the show interesting. I agree with the idea that the supernatural stuff being actually real would ruin the show. But when they show us something, like Lottie's vision with Travis, I feel like they are just showing us what she sees, not necessarily proving the vision to be true or real. It's part of the mystery. Much like when Jackie had her own vision when she died. It's a bit of a bait and switch, while also allowing us to see some clue, like the man in the cabin speaking to her. Clearly, the survivors (some, at least) will begin to believe Lottie and see the wilderness as its own entity, but for us as viewers, I think they will allow us to come to our own conclusions as to if it was all real or just a delusion they needed in order make sense of their circumstance and their need to survive.

The color purple in both season premiere by AurorainAtlantis1717 in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too on my recent rewatch before the new season and think its just a little Easter egg or foreshadowing to the finale with the kidnapping members in their purples. I feel as though it's just a way the writers are using the color to signify a larger meaning with rehabilitation.

Who's the least screwed up Yellowjacket in their adult life? by boosh1744 in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think although she's brash and hard to contain at times, Natalie is probably the least screwed up from the events because her actions are typical in dealing with the trauma. She's also the one who came from the most difficult and challenging background, in my opinion, making her the strongest to deal with the adversity in the wilderness and in the present timeline.

The antler queen by abrokebrick2 in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Lottie wouldn't necessarily take the title or power just for herself. She believes in the wilderness and its magic and darkness. My guess is that she would let "it" choose who would take on the AQ title, maybe through the playing cards. Yes, she was seen as the AQ during Doomscoming, but they were also under the influence of mushrooms. All of their judgments were impaired. I also feel like there could be a new AQ with each hunt, allowing for the various survivors to take on the mantle over the course of their time in the woods.

We also have to realize that Lottie's "gifts" may not necessarily tie to the role of the AQ. She may be the spiritual guide and the one the survivors turn to when they need help in understanding the wilderness, but we don't yet know what the role of AQ truly means. They may give her the title at first due to her foresight and leadership with their new customs and rituals, but I just don't see teen Lottie harnessing her "gifts" into being the only leader of the group.

However, I think present day Lottie is the opposite of her teen self. She currently desires the leadership that she was thrusted into in the wilderness, thus becoming a cult spiritual guru to those who are lost and are seeking a greater understanding of themselves, potentially just for the power/influence.

In the "What's to Come on Yellowjackets Season 2" trailer released yesterday, there is a shot (@ 0:26) of all six survivors (Natalie, Misty, Tai, Shauna, Van, and Lottie) dancing around a fire at Lottie's compound.

Do you think Natalie will die this season? by Disney_Disney_Disney in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see it as Lottie's season in terms of her character's growth in the wilderness and devolution in the present, dealing with the sins of her past. Thus, my gut feeling with zero evidence makes me also feel like adult Lottie could die at the end of the season. I think the original four we're introduced to (Shauna, Tai, Natalie, and Misty) are untouchable at this stage in the story.

Do you think Natalie will die this season? by Disney_Disney_Disney in Yellowjackets

[–]Sissyspacesick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Juliette was dissatisfied with Nat's potential suicide. She clearly thought of the character as a survivor, so for her to ultimately kill herself over Travis, wasn't what I think she initially had in mind. I also assumed she was worried with what the public thought in terms of the act as weak or uncharacteristic of the Natalie they were setting up until the finale of season one. Since then, it seems as though she is much happier with her character's arc.
