As a show whose timelines are split between the mid-1990s (offering up one of TV’s best soundtracks) and the early 2020s, Yellowjackets perhaps understandably isn’t rife with references harking back to 2005. But much of it does hinge on head-scratching mysteries, from weird weather patterns to the Pit Girl’s identity to the sporadic dripping noises and beyond. Unbelievable as it may seem, it appears as if the core symbology used in the series — the ever-present circle/triangle/curved line/hook design — could be a subtle homage to the Winchester brothers, as it eerily resembles a symbol that pops up during an early episode of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki’s Supernatural.
The SPN fandom is well-aware that many pop culture roads lead back to Supernatural, but I’m not sure everyone was waiting expectantly for the long-running CW hit’s narrative tendrils to show up as an ominous visual moniker on Yellowjackets. However, an eagle-eyed Redditor who happened to be rewatching Supernatural noted the similarity between the horror-drama’s still-unexplained symbol and the one that appeared for around 6 seconds of screentime in an early ep.
