EvilHawk posted:Just got done watching it and yeah this is the thing I enjoy the most about the show. There's nobody where I've been like, you're a dick for absolutely no reason. Everyone has their own motivations and in-universe explanations for their actions. It'll be kind of hilarious if the finale of the entire show involves the Dark Lord showing up in person to defend Sabrina from Lillith's betrayal, and they spend the whole time bickering about the blood contract.

I hope he shows up and is just as disobedient and anti-establishment as Sabrina. That would be amazing. sabrina and her half-goat brother vs hell.

Also I got that last part as Zelda reiterating it for emphasis. "Your parents' death was an accident, so please just stop picking at the wound and move on."

Thought this was amusing: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-...e-a8611441.html The Satanic Temple in Salem is claiming that this show ripped off it's statue of Baphomet for it's depiction of Satan (specifically the statue in the academy, they aren't claiming copyright of the devil, but of that specific statue).

I feel it would be more interesting if (Nick)he were more neutral - he genuinely likes Sabrina and wants her to succeed, but at the same time he pledged his soul in the book so has to follow the Dark lords plan to groom Sabrina for apocalypse stuff. Currently playing both sides but eventually having to choose one.

Biplane posted:I watched all ten episodes from friday to saturday and absolutely loved it. Guess I'll just spoiler the rest of this post just in case To be fair, on that last point getting into heaven generally requires a lot of effort meaning most mortals and witches are hellbound anyway. So why not get a stay of execution for a few hundred years plus bonus superpowers? Maybe he'll go easy on them after their deaths. (I mean he won't but I can see why they'd take their chances)

Biplane posted:Blackwood outright says thats the case but I mean, come on. what possible incentive does the devil have to tell the truth? Well maybe they just know that the devil is a lil' man-kid who can't even handle onions, let alone rebellion, without having a fit and threatening punishment. That was a hilarious part of Zelda's dream, the devil being such a picky eater. What, onions too spicy for the lord of hellfire? He has the palette of a white american southerner. The whole "obligate carnivore" thing has always seemed more childish than anything, given he's supposed to be very powerful yet can't handle veggies or dairy without getting the farts. The show will end with him getting recommended a therapist who'll help him unpack his toxic masculinity.

Strom Cuzewon posted:So Satans deliberately evoke images of "evil" in order to protest religion, and then get salty when people associate those images with evil things? The irony is there are probably more Satanists getting into heaven than christians because their world view is more "Do what you want as long as it ain't hurting anyone" while a lot of Christians tend to be pearl clutching assholes.

I'd love if it turned out that Blackwood isn't as cruel as Zelda thinks, like he finds out she kidnapped his daughter, asks why and when told she feared he'd kill her for being born first his response was just "Is that really how little you think of me  ?" genuinely hurt.

Didn't she tell Harvey that she fixed the situation but had to go away forever because she was afraid of what she had to do to fix it? I thought she at least let him know what was going on.

Biplane posted:I'm sure there were some shenanigans in the judge's "private chambers" or whatever, the end of that episode seemed way more poignant than it deserved to be. Turns out during the discussion the lawyer found out about the whole apocalypse plot and just went "You know what... the worlds hosed right now and needs a reboot, so go ahead."

I kind of hope that the Apocalyptic destiny that the Dark Lord has for Sabrina is an ironically positive one - maybe he's after a half mortal for the job because she'll destroy the world as they know it, breaking down the barriers between the witch and mortal worlds completely. It'd be more interesting than the just standard "Everybody dies horribly because I'm evil" thing. Could be that possessing the one guy, and starting to trigger the supernatural abilities of the mortals, is him grooming them to join at Sabrina's side along with the Weird Sisters. Less Armageddon, more Ragnarok.

WarEternal posted:I vaguely remember something like this from when I watched the sitcom a long time ago with my girlfriend. The dude was born a witch hunter and unaware of it. That plot arc was a shame because after a few episodes him and Dreama just ceased to exist. They weren't written out, they just abandoned them.

I'm actually curious if familiars prefer their disguised forms due to being able to fit into more places more easily, or if they were given then option to hang out in 7-foot tall tree monster form behind closed doors they'd take it.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:I super appreciate how it continued and developed the plot instead of just being a one off special. I am really digging Harvey's slide into distrust and fear of magic, which is sure to lead into some really bad conflict wrt his witch hunter heritage. I like that he appreciates what she was trying to do though, he just put his foot down about "Thanks, but don't do that again, OK?" It seems he still likes her, he's just wary due to how badly she screwed up with regards to his brother.

I'm kind of hoping that the Weird Sisters eventually end up spending more time outside the academy due to Sabrina's influence, start seeing mortals as more than just toys and start feeling really lovely about their prior actions.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Sabrina, how do you go from last season’s necromancy shitshow to “weird sisters lets summon my dead mom’s spirit!” This time she wasn't trying to cheat the afterlife out of a soul, and it was only a temporary contact.

A funny coincidence - My mum took me to a meal because it was paid for by her church group because she was feeling kind of lovely, and I met her at a small party at one of their homes - one of the guests told the actual story of Gryla and the Yule Lads at the party, it was an amusing moment for me.

Mameluke posted:I liked the theory that Kinkle Sr first took to drink as an escape from his own nightmare in the mine and will look to the family tradition of witch hunting now that he can't drink it away I feel it would be funnier if it goes the other way, and that as Harvey is more and more into the hardline Witchhunting thing his dad's constantly trying to stop him going crazy on it. Mr Kinkle:"To be fair, she did cure my alcoholism there kid.. seems her magic's fine as long as she sticks to what she knows.." Harvey: "But after what she did to my brother..." Mr Kinkle: "Well, I wouldn't have done any better..."
