I was so ridiculously excited by this...

[peachmangosteen]

Does anyone know if it'll stream on Fridays every week or is it just the first? I seem to recall it streamed early every week last season but I can't remember for sure.

Speaking of, Showtime has a deal currently that goes until January 24th at 3am est where you can get 1 month free and then 6 months at $3.99 per month.

I have that deal. I was going to cancel, and forgot in December, but I might keep it for this. As long as it's at $3.99.

Omg, S2 looks amazing and that No Doubt cover is so beautiful. 

It looks like we're going to see the aftermath of when the girls get rescued and I can't freaking wait. March 24th just needs to get here already!

What does that mean, I wonder? A summer episode?

[One Imaginary Girl]

I feel a little worried about this review's line that it seems like "the writers aren't sure where their true destination lies." Ugh. Please don't turn out like Lost, where it felt like they were just winging it.

Do we know what time the streaming episodes drop?  

[paulvdb]

I think midnight Pacific time, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Different streamers drop their episodes at different times and sometimes they change those times.

[peachmangosteen]

This is awesome!

Simone Kessell posted this picture of a billboard on her Instagram. Who is the guy on the left?

Why does it say "streaming now"? It's only wednesday, isn't it?

I remember learning how to make basic web pages like this.

Thank you! I could not remember who wore that jacket and it was driving me crazy!

[Anela]

I visited the reddit site, and I kind of envy a lot of the posters - the excitement they're showing.

Oooo, when you click on the Click Here button and go to the next screen, don't just close it out right away. Give the page a little time...that's all I'm gonna say.

ok, that was pretty cool. Reminds me of back in the early Lost days with sort of immersive web experience tied to the show. 

[peachmangosteen]

According to Showtime on Twitter, the episodes will drop at 9:01 pm pst/12:01 am est.

[Black Knight]

Why did I have to move to the east coast? LOL Staying up until 9pm to watch is easy for me; staying up until midnight to watch? I'll try, but I'm likely to fall asleep before then!

[Brn2bwild]

Btw., when it drops depends upon the platform you have.  Paramount Plus hasn't dropped the S2 E1 episode, but Hulu + Showtime has.

[Cranberry]

Looks like it's available now on Crave here in Canada. I'm not sure what time it went up.

[Anela]

It's on the showtime app. I'm about to watch it.

It’s also now available on Paramount w/Showtime.

I really like this Slate article about the ways Yellowjackets uses its casting to trigger reactions in viewers. No spoilers if you’re current on the show (S2 E2).

[Black Knight]

Here's a joint interview with Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nelisse on Bustle.com. There are a lot of fun details, and only one extremely minor spoiler. But in a sense the most important bit is this: Lynskey says that in addition to getting a detailed rundown of S1, she was also given a broad outline of the remaining seasons. So the showrunners do have a plan and know where they're going.

(I remember reading an interview with the showrunners where they mentioned that they tell the actors as much as they want to know. Actors have different processes, so some don't want to know anything, others want to know a lot.)

That's true. I remember reading an interview Emilia Clarke did where she said she was dying to discuss the ending of GOT with Kit Harrington, however she couldn't because he didn't like reading scripts until the beginning of production (as opposed to her, who liked getting them well in advance). 

[Black Knight]

Yes. There's video footage of the GoT cast doing the table read for the final season. Kit Harington reaches a certain point and tears up and looks across at Emilia, who of course already knew about it and looks back at him kind of sadly.

Not all showrunners will share advance information with actors even if they really want to know.

Adults vs. teens!

[peachmangosteen]

[Cranberry]

 

[heatherchandler]

I wish they got an actress that looks more like teenage Lottie, to play adult Lottie.  The actress who plays adult Lottie looks nothing like her and it takes me out of the show.

This season is not clicking for me.  Maybe the lack of music bringing me back to the 90s?  There is a little here and there but the first season music was so perfect and it kind of made the show what it is.  We need more music and less dragging out of tangents.

Idk, this season has already included Tori Amos, Blur, NWA, Veruca Salt (Seether!), and Elliott Smith, so I’m very happy with it .

Cornflake girl was good.. the rest did not transport me like the songs of season 1.

lol, Tori Amos was my least favorite. I am still obsessed with Blur, Veruca Salt, and Elliott Smith. And “Angst in my Pants” by Sparks was a truly brilliant choice, imo. Just absolute perfection. Then there was Radiohead!

[Anela]

A song used in the next episode, is one that takes me right back to 1994, and gives me chills. (in the MTV clip, so I won't mention it for those who avoid all spoilers.)
