THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA part 4: ep 2 and 3









 

SABRINA part 4: ep 2: chapter 30: THE UNINVITED

 

“More importantly have you seen him shirtless? He’ll give me great looking grandchildren.”

 

Well that’s more like it. The start and the whole aspect of the Unvited Eldridge terror being reminds me, oddly of the more human serial killers from the 1990s MILLENNIUM TV series. At first, silent, and brooding, he kills with reason and horror, ripping out the hearts of anyone who rejects his smelly presence. And I mean who would let that into their house? Maybe feed him but let him sit on my furniture?

 

A great villain, a side problem the incubus in Dr. Cerebrus—and it gets out and goes into Theo but that subplot goes nowhere---and the wedding of Hilda. Did I miss an episode? How is Sabrina, last episode arch enemies with Caliban, now ready to marry him? He takes his clay balls off himself---why did it seem so awful to him before and can he return them, will he have as Lucifer wants, great children and give Lucifer great grandchildren?

 

Also: did I miss an episode, how is the real Miss Wardwell working for Blackwood? Sabrina’s double act in Hell and Earth is caught out and she has a terrific solution in stopping the Uninvited who kills Dorian (NO! no more Jonathan Goodacre?!!!) at the reception.

 

I love Sabrina’s look of hesitation before she shuts the door to the space time trap doll house trapping the lonely Uninvited forever (“You broke my heart!”). While this episode feels a bit awkward at times, it is far better than the last episode and one of the better overall episodes that moves the characters along. Well done and entertaining but really, start getting those prolonged sex scenes back. I love Nick! I love Harvey. I love Caliban.

 

Is it any wonder Sabrina will combine the best of Nick and Harvey to make her own fun? An unexpected but natural progression of events.

 

Love that Hilda’s chatty romantic speech made Zelda cry while stating her love for Cerebrus (long winded though it was and tediously schmaltzy too). 

 

The main villain Blackwood (the excellent Richard Coyle of the unfairly short lived STRANGE) has overstayed his welcome IMO but the promise of more Lovecraftian monster things that are pure horror themselves is

 

 

 

Chapter 31: THE WEIRD ONE

Well, isn’t that special? This one was weird. Not that it was boring but it was weird. Octopus get such a bad rap in film and TV shows. They’re rather kind creatures, shy and retiring. Fraid I don’t’ remember much about this other than…I don’t know, it’s my own fault. I skipped ahead and watched large bits of later episodes so I guess that says something. The Weird wants Sabrina’s body so it goes inside her and Ambrose and Nick have to get it out. Lilith is pregnant and it’s painful to watch her birthing. Fraid I skipped that, too. Not a bad episode at all but I was glad when it was over. Fraid that’s all I can remember. Do they have to make Salem whine so much?

 

Oh and I liked Logan Hunt: was the innocent or what? The dream seemed to imply he was the Weird but then he wasn't? Then he moved to...Riverdale?

DOCTOR WHO-BOOM spoilers

  DOCTOR WHO-BOOM  spoilers Hmmm. Let’s see. SWAT is looking really great tonight. High stakes, intrapersonal relationship issues, huge action, realistic people and characters, and followed by FIRE COUNTRY and then the always excellent BLUE BLOOD.   After last week’s two episode disaster, if this week’s DOCTOR WHO is awful, I have some tough choices to make about giving up on 2024 DOCTOR WHO and a character I’ve followed for five decades (and not just on TV: in comics, books, audios, and role playing) and an actor I really admire and love. Let’s see if this is written by RTD if I should go into it wary. Oh, wait, this is Moffat’s? Gosh, hell naw.   Okay, it looked more serious and I can’t deal with the 6 minute to 8 minute of advertising on watching live TV so I guess I’ll give this torturous Doctor Who show another go, another try. If it’s bad, it will hurt. It will hurt giving up a show that once gave me so much gratification. Please, be good. Is that t...

Things new DOCTOR WHO fans think that are sort of wrong and my response to the TEN MISTAKES video. What and why do new fans think these things?

 Here is my response to a video "THE TEN MISTAKES OF DOCTOR WHO by show runners who admit them" or something like that. Good editing on the video but this lady and her mistakes irk me. She seems to think that Time Lord is something that was always a part of DOCTOR WHO> it was not. Regeneration, 12 lives, the planet Gallifrey, two hearts, and most of the current things most fans think are and have always been a part of Doctor Who most didn't start until SIX years after the show began and a majority didn't start until the 11th season, 11 YEARS IN. New fans need to get their history right.  First more history:  At first, the Doctor wasn't touted as a Time Lord or even an alien. Nor was Susan. Sort of. The first "regeneration" wasn't called that. It was called a rejuvenation, suggesting Troughton was a younger Hartnell.  The second "regeneration" was just a forced change by the Time Lords who made the Doctor change his appearance. Neither of...

  UNNATURAL HISTORY Unnatural History: The Most Underrated Cartoon Network Show That's Been Forgotten Story by Liam Gaughan   Cartoon Network is responsible for airing some of the greatest animated programs in recent memory, such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Adventure Time, Teen Titans, The Power Puff Girls, Regular Show, and Johnny Bravo. However, the network ventured into live-action programming in 2010 with Unnatural History.   The adventure series combined influences such as Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and National Treasure for a show that combined humor, suspense, historical lessons, and lots of action for young adult viewers. Unnatural History was created by Mike Werb, who also wrote both Face/Off and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. The series follows the teenager Henry Griffin (Kevin G. Schmidt), who has been traveling the globe with his archeologist parents for his entire life. However, Henry is told at the beginning of the series t...
