I wonder if AR will read the spoilers for a show he hasn't watched yet. I bet he does.

Ugh you know he is going to!

He's such a poser. :shake: I bet he never reads or watches anything, and just reads and watches things about things. Like he's reading our spoilers here so he can go to his fb Sabrina group and act like he watched everything and gets all of their inside comments. Such a poser!

No I won't. I won't read those. And, completely random thought, I'm not a poser.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

I'll be interested to read them.
Spoiler:
Especially since AR won't know that you're just putting made up stuff in there so that when he goes to put it in the Sabrina group everyone there will know he hasn't watched a single episode.

Again, one of my biggest issues with Sabrina is more with her human side and those people, than the witchy side (although I feel they are not immune to some criticism this time around). I guess I should get into a Spoiler block so I don't ruin this for AR.... So don't read this one dummy.
Spoiler:
AR is dumb
Ok really don't read this one...
Spoiler:
So the fact that her "human" friends fucked her over so hard in the first half was kind of crazy. The leap that Roz and Harvey made was so weird and out of left field into blaming her for shit. And the fact that Theo was so on her side was odd too because I feel like last season she kind of wasn't. So I found that confusing. Also, her transitioning felt a little shoehorned in there too.

The witchy "friends" was also crazy town. The weird sisters seem to either be friends with Sabrina or hate Sabrina depending on what is needed in the script, which is just kind of annoying. I wish they were more grounded. I get that the main girl was going through some shit with her daddy issues, but the pendulum just swang way too far back and forth with her IMO.

Also. Again Sabrina just keeps make the DUMBEST decisions that she can. Its literally whatever Sabrina thinks should be done should actually be the opposite. It's crazy. I loved the imagery of the St Sebastian stuff but I felt that was a huge leap without much build up into it. And everyone was kind of just too accepting of it all too. I mean, I know they were questioning it and such but overall it was just like "oh yeah, this is happening now."

I did not see the twist coming with Nick. So that was interesting... also his whole wolf familiar storyline was just weird and felt really out of place. The lying he did there was odd.
There is more... I need to just put my thoughts together a bit...

Overall I did like the season a lot and am looking forward to more.

I agree with everything you put there.
Spoiler:
But at the same time, I'm really happy just to be like, "It's a TV show" and leave it at that. Because if I thought about it too much, all the criticisms you mention would be too much for me. Yeah, a lot happened really fast and a lot was just oddly accepted or shoehorned in at the last minute, but I'm okay with that. Maybe that's just how life is when you're a teen witch?

I think they're still kind of finding their steam here. I think the first series moved fairly slowly in a lot of ways and the second series moved too fast in some ways. And I forget actual examples but they did something I hate in TV and books, a couple of times I think. I'm talking about when they set up a rule that says Doing X is impossible/forbidden and they make a big deal about it, then someone is forced to do X and now doing X becomes normal/not impossible.

And yeah for the Weird Sisters. Sometimes they're friends sometimes they're enemies and it makes no sense.

Burgess Meredith's glasses are going to seem like nothing when there's the end of the world and you can't stream anything because there's no more internet.

I am too. But I'm not some pollyanna thinking I can have both the death of 95% of the world and the internet. That's really a one or the other thing. So, today I'm going to marathon Sabrina. When we meet up in Las Vegas next year, I'll tell you about it.
