I like Lilith's custom stationary and that she breaks it out to be pen pals with Hootsifer.

Lilith absolutely writes letters like she draws glyphs, with her nose right on the paper.

So this is what Amethyst is up to while Steven's off doing who the gently caress cares.

Well, that and yelling at people in San Andreas

The adventures of "Marilyn" was something I hoped we'd be getting a lot more of since the first episode, so I'm glad we got to see at least a glimpse. We know Eda at least went to the movies some, since her reaction to "Dragonclaw Z" last episode.

It totally is; some of the first character art they produced was her wearing the exact outfit Stan describes. She's never worn it on the show but she does own a cup with that same logo on it, so presumably it's part of a set. Give me a three-way GF/Amphibia/Owl House crossover Disney, please and thank you.

I think there's really no stopping it at this point.

I liked what we learned about Vee. I'm glad that "evil Luz" wasn't evil at all but kind of a mirror to Luz, going into a strange new world because her life in her old world sucked. I also liked Vee upbraiding Luz for leaving what Vee considered to be something like paradise. I suspect that Luz/Vee is more popular and gets better grades that Luz because she wanted to be the best "Luz" she kind to repay Camilla's unknowing kindness

As for Luz it was interesting that the second she established that Vee wasn't part of some evil Belos plot, she was perfectly happy to exploit her shifting ability to keep her mother in the dark for a while longer. Even after she learned that Vee was a Basilisk AKA the thing that had tried to eat Hexside. Also fun was Luz trying to warn Vee away from the "terrible" high school students and Vee just approaching them with no problem (partly because she apparently knew them from that camp). Still, it does make one wonder how much of Luz's social problem was kind of on Luz for not making real efforts to reach out to others because she was more interested in her magic/fantasy stuff.

It was the best of all possible outcomes for V in that her first experience on Earth was going to "how to be a normal human" class.

When they made the Dora the Explorer joke I half expected to see that Flora was actually played by a former Dora VA. Turns out it was only her mom.

Also I am very disappointed with the end of the episode. It was like, the most predictable plot twist and I think literally everyone called it.

I think at this stage the only question remaining, "was it Wittebane or his unnamed companion" has been drawn out long enough.

Just saying, we only have so much time left to pull the trigger on that particular plot point (though I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something that happens closer to the end when Luz finally finds her true resolve)

Kind of curious what animal her palisman is going to turn out to be (something like a chameleon, parrot, or mockingbird could work seeing as her glyph magic makes Luz kind of a jack of all trades).

I thought the Vegas line was on it being a bat, since her phone decor, and all.

I look forward to them going full Gravity Falls in the end and weaponizing the Owl House (Luz, Willow, and Gus already accidentally brought it to life once after all).

Also at the moment I’m assuming the final boss of the series will be either whatever Phillip turns into if he can’t get his palisman juice, the Collector (who we still don’t really know much about), or the Titan itself

I support the use of Hooty in Baba Yaga's Hut Mode.

On another note I wonder if Luz possesses some kind of latent magical ability despite being human as in the episode back in the first season where she accidentally brings the Owl House to life along with Willow and Gus, Eda and King have a discussion at the end about how it’d take a lot of power to pull a spell like that off at which point the former glances directly at Luz

It's possible all humans have latent magic, which would explain some things about how Wittebane operates.

Also the Owl House is apparently his body (or at least the front door is)

Lilith specifically referred to him as a "house demon." It's unclear if that's a type of demon that has houses for bodies, or just any demon you keep in your home.

The new episodes finally hit D+, but you wouldn't know it

Animated shows are at the bottom of the Disney page

I don't want to read too much maliciousness into it but it's pretty hard not to

The entities who designed the UX for Disney Now! demanded that D+ be made harder to use.

Ah, I forgot if the others were implied to have gotten back by the time the Emperor’s Coven found the house or not. Still enough people left to put up a decent fight though

I think they demonstrated that the EC troopers deliberately waited until they saw Hooty leave; as they were packing up, Hooty said something about noticing movement around the perimeter.

I loved Eda's breakdown in the latest episode too where she was freaking out about getting Luz involved with a fight she should never have had anything to do with. That was a cool moment.

A point all too many shows with kid protagonists shouldering adult responsibilities just kind of ignore. It's nice to see it being dealt with.

True, he despises witches after all and his whole plan as I understand it basically involves a complete genocide of the islands. It was likely a “keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer” situation as you said (she’s the only one who got to keep her palisman for example)

Kind of makes me wonder if there will be anyone still willing to stand by his side once the truth is out (maybe Terra, she seems similarly unhinged. I could also possibly see Kikimora adopt a “gently caress you, got mine” attitude if it means a perceived shot at glory, she kind of already does to be honest).

Kikimora being a demon instead of a witch might make her exempt from the drain.

I wonder if Gus's voicework in the flashback at the start was leftover stuff that they had recorded from season 1, or if they had to do some shenanigans in post to get his voice back up to that register (or just had the VA force it for those couple lines I guess).

I didn't look at the credits, I just assumed they'd brought in someone else.

My god that kiss made me want to tear up. :ohdear:


And that twist at the end genuinely got me. The set up for it was so good having Luz whisper her plan to Gus, and then the thing with Amity's dad happening immediately after, you almost forget until the reveal happens. It's so good I don't even really have the words

I was surprised even though they showed "Luz" blatantly do Hunter's flash-step move to save Willow. I was all, "Wait, she doesn't have a power like that," and still didn't put it together before the reveal.

Apparently they had plans on going into more detail on the other covens (Healing for example) but that wound up being a casualty of Disney’s decision to slash the final season down. Given that little psychic gem she has I assume Odalia was part of the Oracle coven

She is. The other hint is that her usual blouse has a pattern of crystal balls on it.
