Yellowjackets Recap: Where the Wild Things Are
In the opening scene of “Yellowjackets,” the new season offers a fresh beginning, depicting a solitary frog hopping about. It eventually settles, inflating its moist sac and emitting an eerie cry that echoes across the landscape. As the camera pulls back, we see numerous similar frogs in a pond, engaged in mating calls, creating a cacophony of noises. This unsettling sound, it’s suggested, is the same one the Yellowjackets have been encountering in the forest. Sometimes, what seems terrifying or ominous is merely wildlife doing their part to survive and reproduce according to their natural instincts.
