Yellowjackets’ Big Season 3 Death Has Fans Buzzing

Warning: This article contains massive spoilers for “Yellowjackets”.

On the latest “Yellowjackets”, the distribution of adolescents – stuck in the desert and the 90s – held a trial for coach Ben (Steven Krueger)Accused of having burned their cabin last season. In the chronology of 2021, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) was again haunted by the late Jackie (Ella Purnell) while Tawny (Tawny Cypress) and Van (Lauren Ambrose) tested if the desert is hungry for another profession of life.

Overall, the scenario passed (as usual) seemed to be the highest challenges – until the moments of closing the episode, when Misty (Christina Ricci) sees the last article on her baby -depositive citizen. Lottie (Simone Kessell) is dead, lying at the bottom of a stairwell. Just to convince all the skeptics, the camera persists on her motionless body to show, yes, she is really dead.

This torsion has the hive “Yellowjackets” everything doing everything, and not exactly because they sing its praises. “I understand that they want to make daring movements but killing Lottie so early in the season is a bit … stupid?” A X user wrote. Others have said everything by crying, criticizing writing and even completely abandoning the show. Kessell herself, Talk to the varietydid not seem too convinced by the decision either and outright qualified the disappearance of Lottie as “prematurely”.

“I was quite a broken heart, because I felt like I ended just when I felt that Lottie came to him.

As Kessell notes, Lottie’s death will surely lead Misty to investigate and the list of suspects is long: Tai, Shauna, Walter, The Mystery Stalker, and perhaps more. But trying to operate the story, “Yellowjackets” got into the foot.

After season 1 of “Yellowjackets”, it feels like the writers did not quite take a grip on the character of Lottie. The end of “12 angry girls and 1 drunk twist” is the end of stumbling block.

The first season of “Yellowjackets” passed Lottie (Courtney Eaton) as a villain. We knew from the start that the past scenario will eventually see the practice of yellow Jackets not only cannibalism of survival, but neo-paganism, hunting each other and animals and the sacrifice of blood. The mentally ill Lottie (having missed his medication) was the first to suggest that the desert itself had a will and offered premonitions. Girls, desperate for advice, cling to her as a leader. It is not surprising that a lot of Armotted Lottie as a possible “Antler Queen”.

“Yellowjackets” Final 1 final “SIC Transit Gloria Mundi” finished With Natalie (Juliette Lewis) removed by the cultists. Their chief? An invisible but even more food Lottie, which had also emptied the bank accounts of the end of Travis (Andres Soto). The very last scene returned to the desert, where the teenage lottie placed a bear heart on an altar, praying to her forest god: “Pouring my beautiful friends, and letting darkness free us.” Sinister.

While waiting for season 2, everyone expected that the reintroduction of Lottie increases horror in the chronology of 2021. Did it always practice the brutal blood rituals that the yellow-jacques imagined in the desert? Had she murdered Travis? How had she brought others to her worship? How far has his arrival spread?

Then, season 2 of “Yellowjackets” was not up to these terrifying expectations. Writers obviously decided to rotate and wrote Lottie as a surprisingly sympathetic character. She was not a cult leader in itself, more an eccentric guru of well-being with good intentions. Travis’ death was an artificial accident. Even in the past scenario, the character of Lottie has changed; Suddenly, she was not leading The girls in the dark, it was her supporters who misinterpreted her message and dragging her with them.

Even see season 1 “Yellowjackets”, Lottie no longer feels as scary and the original tension of this season is deflated. I read speculations that the writers brought back to the nasty lotie because they had realized that they would assimilate his illness to evil – but if this is the case, they did not have to write it as a sick person in the first place.

Lottie’s death feels more clearly because the show just made a similar mistake by killing Natalie in the final of season 2, “Storytelling”. It ended the second season of the show on a sour note for many, and the death of Lottie is a refreshment of this bitter taste. There were rumors that the premature death of Natalie was because Juliette Lewis wanted to leave the series; Lewis herself has not explicitly confirmed this, but She said about leaving the “yellow picking”, “ “I think I’m good for a series for two seasons.” But even if that was The case with Lewis was certainly not there! Simone Kessell thinks there was more history to tell with Lottie, and she is right.

Back in “Storytelling”, Lottie became in love with Shauna’s daughter, Callie (Sarah Desjardins). Lottie, once again a fervent believing in the desert, seemed to be indoctrine Callie otherwise something worse. Well, this story has increased like a sautéed balloon, without resolution or catharsis. The past scenario also seems to return to the more -sinister Lottie of season 1, so withdrawing it from the table in the adult chronology is now a confusing decision.

In general, the scenario of 2021 in “Yellowjackets” season 3 gives the impression of trying to take up the spark of season 1 and therefore folds up on the old rhythms of the intrigue. Someone, who knows the secrets of the Yellowjackets, tracks them once again in the shade. Travis’ death was a mystery of conduct in season 1, now Lottie’s death will be one in season 3.

I was hard during this article, so I will point out that I have Above all I liked season 3 of “Yellowjackets”. But unfortunately, Timer Lottie adds a huge asterisk to this pleasure.

“Yellowjackets” is streaming on Paramount + with Showtime.
