He got the best ending he could under the circumstances he’d backed himself into, but I don’t think that’s really a “happy” ending, even from his character’s perspective. His chance for what he’d consider a happy ending disappeared when he lost control of Grey Matter. There was no redemption for Walter White, and he…

She made a country pop album once, and it was actually really good if you like that sort of thing. And it seemed to be a reasonably succesful debut all around, so I have no idea why she didn’t stick with that over films like this.

Yeah, I loved Angel season 5 and I’d definitely agree that they should be basing Sabrina becoming queen on that kind of dynamic rather than treating it like a subplot on par with cheerleading.

You’d still always have to pick and choose, because people would still be creating new things and ideas. A billion people could be writing novels while you can only read one at a time. More people join every day. They make new buildings, come up with new ideas, create new relationships, at an exponentially larger rate…

That would have been neat, but it also sounds like the sort of good idea fans think of when the writers stop doing their jobs.

The entire carnival plot felt like a one-off villain of the week bizarrely stretched over the whole season. Aside from introducing Robin, it doesn’t seem to have even had any consequences.

I am utterly mystified by these. If they want to do a musical episode, do a musical episode. But they’re just randomly slipping in these supposedly in-universe songs that feel exactly like music videos and everything stops until they’re over.

We’re all talking about how much of an idiot Sabrina was with the Judas switch, but that was the most insanely risky plan Caliban could have possibly conceived. It also basically ensured one of them would be trapped forever, which doesn’t really fit with his previous swooning.

I loved the show’s first two seasons, so I’m not coming from the same place you are, but this season’s a frustrating mess by any standard and the characters and themes have lost almost all their nuance. Think c-list Doctor Who.

Ah, I thought you’d meant the Season 2 finale when I said the plotting had been good until then. But that definitely explains how everything became so messy so quickly if they’re making things up like that. Avoiding direct spoilers so people won’t have to scroll past too many messages in a row, but this finale…

Do you have a link? I’m having trouble finding it. That makes a lot of sense, except for the question of why. Until that point, aside from some occasionally shaky world-building and an unfired Checkhov’s gun or two, everything was working really well.

Yeah, and beyond not making sense on a plot level, most of this stuff has nothing to do with the show’s themes and character development. Pretty much everything in the first two seasons critiqued either gender relations or organized religion, usually the intersection of the two, but neither the pagans nor the…

You’re not alone siding with the adults over Sabrina on her queenly duties. It’s a really frustrating hole in this season that Sabrina doesn’t seem to understand the stakes despite being the person in the position to understand them best. I know she always wanted to split time between the mortal and witch worlds, but…

Does Sabrina seem a bit oddly written this season to anyone else? Yes, she’s always been proud and impulsive. But she barely seems to care about being Queen of Hell, one way or another, and until now she’s always cared. She was willing to strip herself of her powers and die a mortal to prevent Hell on Earth 3 episodes…

I agree. It seems odd to me that the reviewer thinks Chidi should be cured of all his flaws just because he’s learned to put them in context. There’s no magical cure for all your problems and being a considerate person takes continuous hard work, which is the exact point the show’s been trying to make.

I thought the same thing, and I still kind of feel like it would have been the better direction to take that beat.

I want a Vicky spin-off of her running the new afterlife. Besides being hilarious, there’s also a lot more depth to her character than they’ve ever had the chance to explore. And I don’t want to leave this universe, I’d admit.

It was in our Janet. She’d just hidden it as far away in her void as possible.

Mindy didn’t get more points than anyone else. Her death fell into a loophole because she died in the middle of doing a good thing and they weren’t sure what her points total should be as a result. It’s a bit unlikely that she’s the only person to ever fall into that situation, but you could say it was just a…
