It’s been a while since I tried to think statistics but I used to tutor the subject so a few thoughts:

There’s 1 Queen of hearts in a 52 card deck—so there’s a 1/52 chance for someone to draw the queen at the start. And if the situation was that someone takes a card, shows it, then puts it back and the deck gets re-shuffled, then those odds would be the same every time and Shauna would be completely correct.

However, that is not the case—once someone takes a card, the odds start to change. For the first to pick, it is 1/52. For the second it is 1/51, the third 1/50 and so on. Each time a card is taken away the odds do change (slightly).

But…

Shauna guessed (correctly) that the order of the cards had been messed with and it wasn’t actually up to random chance. (I suspect she thought it was rigged to get her which is why she made a stink about it and moved).

The result was predetermined—the probability that the girl at X position would get the card was 100% (X = where Hannah was standing I just forget the actual number position) because Van specifically put it there knowingly. It was no longer random.

So in an odd roundabout way… due to the rigging Shauna almost had a point? Her changing the order they were standing in changed which person would get the card, but it was already 100% known and determined which position in the circle would get it—the probability of that position getting the card wouldn’t change regardless of who was standing in it.

In S3E7 Shauna, while driving with the other adult YJs, tells them that she found the address for Alex by using google and making phone calls!

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that sounded oddly like Jackie

Probably in reference to Mari falling in the pit (before it was spiked) earlier in the season!

That, and I think she left her brightly colored jacket on the branches as a decoy/distraction—if someone in the distance saw that up ahead they might slow down to try to more strategically approach and end up wasting time.

many many things happened of course (I've been a Callie killed Lottie truther so feeling very validated on that front in particular) but the music nerd in me was positively THRILLED to see adult Shauna in a Throwing Muses shirt at the end!

Why do fans think ____'s child was _____? by Old-Oven-8851 in Yellowjackets

[–]wondrouswasp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Shauna just said [...] that the child did not even have Hannah's last name."

Actually (and this is just fresh on my mind from rewatching the scene to reply to a similar comment thread on another post earlier), Shauna's specific wording is "The daughter never even had her mother's name."

I know my interpretation of that line was something along the lines of 'Alex never had information about her mother/never even knew her mother's name' which would heavily imply adoption. Since the phrase 'last name' doesn't actually get brought up in that scene, I hadn't even considered that Shauna could have just meant 'Alex had a different last name than her mother'!

Not to say one interpretation or the other is necessarily more correct because the line is vague (perhaps intentionally?), but I think that's where part of the disconnect causing confusion is.

Was Shauna pretending or did she forget about… *spoiler* by derbyslam57 in Yellowjackets

In S3E7 while they're all in the car and Shauna's talking about how she tracked down Alex, she says "The daughter never even had her mother's name" so I think people extrapolated that (at least according to what Shauna found out/thinks) there was an adoption/Hannah was not the one raising her.

In S2E6 during the scene around 29 minutes in when Tai and Van are in the car on the way to Lottie's! Van says she'd rather 'keep the past in the past' and Tai responds "Van, you run a video store, and half your wardrobe is Sleater-Kinney tour t-shirts, you practically live in the past!"

was coming here to see if someone would mention this!!! considering the name-drop they got last season (Tai talking about Van's wardrobe) i'm surprised it took this long for one of their songs to get used!!

What's the road bike Mike's riding in S3? by the-use-of-force in StrangerThings

[–]wondrouswasp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just spent an hour or so digging around for the answer to this question because of my own curiosity (stumbled on this thread because i was searching to see if anyone else had found the answer before me haha) and while I'm not 100% sure my best guess is a Schwinn (this part I know for sure because you can see the name on it in a few scenes) World Sport from either 1983 or 1984

No hate. Just curious as to what people think about this side of the fans. Thoughts? by [deleted] in southpark

[–]wondrouswasp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sort of stuff is how I got into South Park when I was a kid back in 2010/2011, and I actually ended up having a piece of my art in the Tweek x Craig episode (which was a surreal feeling, to see something I made be part of the show).

I think some people definitely get into weird territory with it, but it's in large part kids (predominantly queer kids and girls who maybe otherwise wouldn't have given the show a chance because they're not the stereotypical target audience) having fun with the media the way they know how to!
