Hey Peaches! With Dort out of the way it's time to finish this whole Slurp thing. What is the link between the Addams family and Issac Night? And will every member of the Addams family survive?

Wednesday S2E08 Watch Along

In hindsight, we really should have known which one was the main plot. The one that got the Tim Butron stopmotion animated intro. I get that the pacing in the middle is a bit muddled but think it comes together well at the end. We are with Wednesday thinking it's all about herself, which is her problem. But made it a bit confusing to follow at times. My only actual issue with the season is the missing Wednesday/Enid dynamic. Wednesday keeps her away because of her prophecy, it makes sense in character. But their relationship to me is what made S1 so good. Also not being much into horror, I felt like I missed all the references.

I enjoy your reactions. But you keep going on like you can do better than the writers stops being fun, or snaky and just embarrassing

Well getting away from the school is a good move (not that we spent much time there anyway) and there is a plot i can be interested in now (I really think all the Hyde stuff sucks, very been there done that. want something new now, Tyler can be done.) lets save Enid and find a New bad guy away from nevermore. We also don't have to see so much of the Adams'. I rate this season 1 out of 1 Wednesdays on a Tuesday that I wish we had more of. You guys RULE!

Doubt anyone will read this long comment now that it’s been awhile and people have moved on but here we go: I’ve now watched the whole season on its own and then as a rewatch with you guys, and I really encourage you to rewatch alone (if you haven’t already) outside of the content videos and on a slower cadence. There’s a lot that you can miss while reacting and commenting, including some of the threads you’ve criticized. (Literally just finished the season finale tonight with my family and then watched the last three episodes with you immediately after.) THAT SAID, I definitely agree that this suffered a little bit from both trying to tie up old plot lines while world building and setting up the next season(s). Morning Song should have been this whole season and the Galpin storyline the next, if we are keeping with an eight episode season run. They spent time setting up both last season, but with Tyler in confinement it would have made sense to leave him there for a bit while they finished Morning Song off with a full season first. They also set up the Galpin storyline, which would have made sense for season three. I have a few guesses and overall thoughts on why this felt so rushed or smushed while still being overall a good and entertaining season: 1. Filming schedules for Ricci, Christie, and Buscemi (and possibly Zeta-Jones). Severance and Yellowjackets both had filming during this time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2. Pugsley and Eugene’s encroaching puberty making the zombie storyline necessary to fast track after Buscemi signed on for the morning song storyline (couldn’t wait any longer for pugsley to join nevermore) 3. Filming issues for location, as their location is in Croatia (serving for Vermont, as it’s a similar landscape but has the castle that is Nevermore and the fake town they built to be Jericho outside of it). It’s… a little tense there at the moment? 😬 They may have had to speed up any Nevermore-based filming due to that whole pesky war thing happening nearby. Which also explains school-based storylines being smushed together. 4. There was an actor and writer strike in the middle of the two seasons. Hence the sped up puberty and also the escalated war situation. 5. While it did get a bit muddled in the middle, in hindsight after two viewings, it actually all did come together pretty well at the end. We also have a pretty killer setup for next season, with some clear threads to follow that we know in advance: Enid, Tyler and Capri coming to terms with Wednesday saving him and his existence as a Hyde (he has never gotten over his feelings for her) + his mother’s betrayal & sacrifice, the fact that the birds are still surrounding the gravestone of an Addams + that crow showing up again at the end, and of course Ophelia. All of these are now storylines we KNOW have to be addressed, so there’s no surprise on any of them next time. 6. This entire series overall suffers from the dumb thing television seems to have defaulted to these days of only having 6-10 episodes total. This show would do so well if we had a good old-fashioned 20-24 episode season like we did back in the days of Xena and Buffy and Supernatural. Frankly: bring back the full season so you don’t feel like you have to tell a whole year’s story in half a year.

Also - Tim Burton has a thing for the mad scientist oeuvre. The clockwork heart and stop motion in the first episode was the clue to the main storyline. Look at Edward Scissorhands and Frankenweenie. Look at the dude from Nightmare Before Christmas making his creations. Heck, most of his stuff has some mad scientist in it somewhere, even if not the main plot point. He was gonna put one in there somewhere, gloves and goggles and crazy machine and all!

I also watched BOTH seasons with you guys all in a row THIS WEEK, so it’s all super fresh in my mind. The first season actually didn’t do a convergence and wrap-up until the last two episodes, either. It also set up more things than we thought, including Enid’s peculiarity in her wolfism, but were hard to remember. Having watched all 16 episodes in just the last few days, the two seasons are more alike than you think! There were even multiple plot lines being woven together in the first season that wrapped up early or misdirected! The threads were just a bit larger and more obvious this time, I think.

Maybe I’m just simple but I liked this season also and am looking forward to the third season.😃
