The Quandary of YELLOWJACKETS’ Male Characters
Everyone who knows me, knows I love Yellowjackets. In my opinion, the show hits notes that very few others do. Yellowjackets centers women and girls. It rejects society. And there is a queerness in the possibility and the sensibility of the show that is strenuous to get right. This is why, with adoration and respect, I accept the time to regard the quandary of Yellowjackets‘ men and boys.
Unlike the women and girls, who all feel very lgbtq+, the men and boys present as quite normative. And they carry with them the imposition, perspectives, and narrowness of world. Their interjections into the story are thus at odds with the narrative’s overall project. Both because they weigh down the interesting women characters and because they bring an overt heteronormativity to their relationships with them. At best, the men on the show are distractions. At worst, they are detractors.
The Lack of Depth in Yellowjackets’ Men and Boys
There is something absorbing in how Yellowjackets‘ women and girls present as far more nuanced characters than the men and boys. It feels prefer a subversion of how histor
Hi! Welcome to your Yellowjackets 304 recap, where we will be discussing the episode “12 Annoyed Girls and 1 Drunk Travis,” which was written by Julia Bicknell and Terry Wesley and directed by Jennifer Morrison. Yes, that Jennifer Morrison! Of House M.D. fame! Catch up on past recaps (and the comments sections), and buckle up! This is a pretty brutal episode! Remember to bury any spoilery comments by front-loading a couple sentences of non-spoiler thoughts/commentary, as the first couple lines appear in the sidebar on the homepage.
The episode picks up after the events in the cave (which were apparently quite divisive among viewers) from last episode. The crew leads a captive Coach Scott toward camp. Shauna, Van, and Akilah are walking together, and Shauna insists “it wasn’t that weird.” It, referring to the fact that they all experienced a shared nightmare together. I mentioned this in the comments last week, but I really suggest reading Jonathan Lisco’s interview breaking down the episode, which touches on some of the cultural connotations of distributed dreamspace that I also mentioned at the end of my recap as well as the neuroscience of me
🐝🐝🐝 — Reminder that Travis is a deeply traumatized and...
Natalie’s entire life was about giving everything she had to others and getting nothing in return.
She hiked for miles in subzero temperatures just to discover something to track and feed the group, and instead of being met with gratitude, she was blamed when the food ran out.
She extended caring and support to everyone else when they needed it (comforting Lottie in the middle of the night, holding Shauna’s hand and never leaving her side throughout her labor, understanding Travis’ grief when no one else would) and yet she is always completely alone in her own moments of suffering.
She took on the burden of leadership even while still reeling from the trauma of Javi’s death and the cabin fire, guiding the group out of one of their darkest times. She guided them in building shelter and creating a thriving community. And they repaid her by pushing her to the ground, calling her a murderer, stripping her of her leadership role, and forcing her to butcher the body of her only father figure— whom she had just killed out of mercy and necessity for the group, so that no one else would have to
Hello and welcome to your Yellowjackets 302 recap! If you’re actually looking for the recap of the season three premiere, you can find that here. Reach back when you’ve seen the second episode, which also dropped today on streaming. I swear if anyone tries to reveal me the headline of this recap is a spoiler, I will scream! I don’t declare who is gay! It’s a very vague question that could mean ANYTHING! I also strategically picked the featured photo so as not to spoil anything (you already know Tai and Van are gay!!!), though spoilers certainly do abound if you read any further, so you’ve been warned now. Please hop in the comments to obtain the conversation about the episode going! This is “Dislocation,” written by Rich Monahan and Ameni Rozsa and directed by Bille Woodruff.
THERE’S SO MUCH TO Consider BUT ALL I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THAT KISS!
Okay, but fine, I will refrain and save the best for last. Just know that I have bravely had to perch on this reveal for WEEKS since watching my screener, and the whole time I’ve been like “Autostraddle readers are gonna be so gagged.”
“Dislocation” opens with Mari sc
