They Adopt Superstition Over Common Sense Way Too Fast

Within a year, they’re full-on sacrificing people to “the wilderness.” Realistically, some might lean into mysticism out of desperation, but all of them? Not a single one questions the absurdity of it? Even Taissa, arguably the most logical of the group, doesn’t do much to stop it. The shift from “we’re starving and scared” to “let’s let the wilderness decide who dies” happens way too smoothly.

Where’s the fishing? They’re near water, yet nobody seems to even try building traps or fishing properly.

Why not establish real food storage? Instead of preserving food or rationing, they just eat it all and then whine when it’s gone.

Why do they give up on organized leadership? It’s understandable that Lottie’s cultish influence grows over time, but most of them were rational before the crash. Would they really throw away all logic and follow her so blindly?

I get Yellowjackets is a heightened, dramatic show, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept that these legally adult, college-bound girls would suddenly start thinking like medieval peasants the moment they crash. Shauna was set to attend Brown, an Ivy League school. Taissa was a highly ambitious and disciplined leader. Van was sharp and resourceful. These weren’t clueless kids they were intelligent, capable young women. And yet, the show treats them like they completely lose all critical thinking skills the moment they hit the woods.

I’m going to watch the show to see how it ends because I need to know how this all fits together and makes sense. Which I doubt it will.
