Hard to remember that when Ledger was first cast the majority opinion was it was the worst choice possible. Now all Jokers before and since pale in comparison. Have always been a Buffy fan, even after we learned just how horrible Joss Whedon was, and it still doesn't do anything to diminish the magnificence of Gellar's work. In all honesty all of the actresses in the first season of Yellowjackets were perfectly cast and in some case it resonated more than others. I thought Juliette Lewis is perfect: "Misty, you crazy bitch' entered the lexicon the moment Lewis said it and considering that Melanie Lynskey started her career playing a teenage serial killer (see Heavenly Creatures if you haven't) perfect. Lauren Ambrose was just as perfect in Season 2, consider her first major career was growing up in a funeral home. Show's already on my list as one of the best of the decade after just two seasons.
