No Book Club: A Yellowjackets Podcast

Overall an interesting and thought-provoking pod about a show I really like. But I tire of the constant comparisons to LOST, a show I did not watch. I will keep listening for their insight but wish there was less time spent in scene by scene summary and more discussion of themes. Some things seem lost in translation due to cultural references - I am in the US. I also wish there was at least one female perspective in this book club talking about a show that is mostly about women. And guys, it’s pronounced Na Lease 😉

What’s as exciting as a new season of Yellowjackets? Why a new season on No Book Club, of course. These three chaps have the best witty banter. Their discussions are insightful and their differing perspectives only add to this. This is a necessary adjunct to a full Yellowjackets experience.

I am listening to your podcast about Qui and I think the layout of the symbol at Lottie’s wellness center was consciously made by Lottie since she makes her followers wear the symbol around their necks, though I don’t think this is empathized as much as it was at the season one finale, etc. The more I think about it, the more I think Jeff has done a lot to cause all the chaos. He cheated on Jackie, knocked Shauna up and then started the blackmail with the symbol. I can’t believe Shauna’s husband is so insensitive to her time in the wilderness. But I don’t think the problems came back until Jeff invoked them by the symbol, like invoking the symbol is calling It or the god Lottie mentions. I feel this is why it lied a bit dormant for years. I felt Shauna’s birth could have been much more horrific if the child was born and starving and crying into someone sacrifices him. I feel the skull ritual Travis starts is to save Shauna. Mari points out she hopes Shauna doesn’t die. With the use of Lightning Crashes in the episode 7 teaser, it makes me feel that Shauna might originally died with her baby or it Iived and she died. Is she going to see Ghost Baby like see did with Jackie? Will the baby’s spirit haunt them? Will Cabin Daddy change diapers?

They deserve a MUCH higher rating. I love their insights. Excellent podcast.
