Episode 8: very good acted with lots of felt emotions, a more thrilling and engaging atmosphere, starting to build momentum, but still suffering from the horrible past - present switching.

The last minutes, though, were very well made, if you put logic aside and suspend your disbelief.

I think we knew what was going to happen at the end of this one, but it was still an edge of your seat moment.

The drama is there, but I don't know, there's just something missing about this show. A lot of these characters are hard to root for.

The opening of this episode was so random, caught me off guard. I liked Laura Lee as a character as she barely spoke and when she did it was something to help someone else and something to aid survival. That being said, her death didn't do much for me. Perhaps it's because of my losing interest in the show and never really connecting with any of these characters but she was flying above water...why didn't she just jump out?

This episode follows Natalie's relapse, and continued investigation of Travis' death. It follows Shauna and her continued affair with someone she realises she knows nothing about and then is implied that he was the blackmailer- so by my theory, is he Travis's younger brother? It then follows Taissa and Shauna's friendship which featured some OTT acting I must say and enlightens us that the bad person Sammy is seeing is in fact Taissa eating dirt. Where has the eyeless dude gone? They introduced him but haven't seen him since. Finally, we follow Misty, still holding the journalist hostage. I still don't understand her or her motivations in this show. Even in the wilderness, she's been sidelined as a character, but we have to remember she ends up being the leader of the group as we see in the season opener. I hope this isn't an arc we uncover over multiple seasons.

Overall, this episode doesn't do much in the way of acting or plot. It doesn't progress anything in the wilderness, they're back to square one and in the present day, we are pursuing a case that I am no longer interested in.

Please can we just get some more progression for characters and the story. I'm glad Van is alive but she can't really speak and she's the only one that commented and vocally believed Lottie's visions but now she's out.

P. S. What's with this show and when something violent happens giving off a massive shriek into the distance.

P. P. S. Confirmed that Coach was indeed lying to Misty just to get her off his back.

I was watching episode 8 of Yellow Jackets, 51 minutes in, when I realised that I've cooked dinner, had a chat conversation with a friend, and have been shovelling food into my face, at a worryingly and suffocating pace, for the past 51 minutes (after a little smoke), and I have absolutely no clue as to what exactly is going on. I've heard words spoken, and regurgitating noises, and some women laying in bed and talking. I'm merely filling this silent space, with a television show that I've since lost interest in.

I love this show, actually I like this show, but I love the cast, so I look forward to it every Sunday. Last week's episode was my favorite episode since the very first episode. It was thrilling, answered questions and moved the story forward. This week's episode was unnecessarily insulting to Christianity and inserted too many flashbacks and cutaways to the present just when the plot was advancing in both timelines. Why does Hollywood have such a hard-on for Christians? I knew it was too good to be true that the devout Christian teen girl was written in a respectful manner for Episodes One to Seven. That ended tonight. In the opening scene, a lifeguard saves her life at a Christian summer camp, mockingly called Lady Magdalene. Really? She looks up at the lifeguard, his cross dangling from his chain, and says "You saved me", and he responds The Lord saved her. Come on! I went to a Christian summer camp and the lifeguards never wore crosses and one saved my little Brother who was being held under by a little girl who couldn't swim (my Brother could swim), and when we all thanked him, he responded like a normal human being. At the end of the episode, this same Christian girl tries to fly a charter plane to get help. It's her "purpose" she says, so she flies off and as the plane catches fire, she just sits there with her cross as if she's accepted this as The Lord's plan for her. What?! She doesn't kick or fight her way out of a window to fall to the water below. Again, what?! Christians believe God gives us freewill. We wouldn't just sit there and burn alive and then explode! There is a certain religion that does believe in martyrdom, and believes being a martyr is a sacrifice that will land you in Heaven with dozens of virgins as your reward, but Hollywood would never dare to mock that religion. While Christianity is mocked and shown in a negative light, an affair (Shauna's) is romanticized and justified. Call me crazy but if your Husband is cheating on you, I think you should file for divorce and move on from the cheating loser, not disrespect your body and vows like him, because now, you're no better than him. Just two cheating losers.
