Since I couldn't start this review where the show began, I decided to start at Episode 8: Flight of the Bumblebee. Besides, I love the name, and it was a really great episode xx.
I've been keeping up with this bone-chilling show since day one. It has an all-star cast with a few familiar faces. A storyline not only intriguing but deliciously addicting and at times quite creepy, which I love. So with that said, I'll keep this review short and sweet. In Flight of the Bumblebee we finally get our first visual death: Laura Lee, played by Jane Widdop. The poor religious, hopeful girl, thought because she read about flying planes that actually doing it would work. Just like coach Ben, played by The Originals own, Steven Krueger, I had my doubts. But not with what happened with the plane. More like treating it like a car. Yes, you may read about how to drive but actually doing it is two different things. I promise.
Now, Laura Lee is dead. Gone. Parished. And not because of an actual plane crash, which would have been some serious Final Destination shit, but because her freaking teddy bear caught on fire for no apparent reason. What in the paranormal hell was that?
I'll tell you what it was. This eccentric, phantom wolf-infested island is possessed by a couple of (dare I say) shamans. It just has to be. Noticed how I used phantom before the wolves? Yeah. I still don't believe they were real. I just don't. But I do agree with this: There is something malevolent at play here, and whatever it is, it is out for each their souls. Like Annabelle, attached them to like lent.
Think about it. This unexplainable mess was shown in the first episode when we see a girl (who I think was the empath Lottie, played by Courtney Eaton) running through the forest surrounded by echos of creepy bird calls, and then BOOM, she falls to her death and is eaten by the girls dressed as a tribe or maybe tree people? Who knows.
But with episode 8 we are finally at a point where some questions are finally getting answered. One, Adam, played by Peter Gadiot, is from the past, but who? Two, Natalie, played by the legend Juliette Lewis, is haunted by whatever happened out there and continues to turn to drugs to ease the pain. Three, Misty, played by another legendary actress Christina Ricci, is all kinds of crazy. Four, and not really an answer but another question: did only four girls really survive out there? We'll see.
In the meantime, tune in to
YELLOWJACKETS
if you haven't. This show is insanely good.
