0:34: "Something wicked this way comes" is from Act 4 of MacBeth. Why she is Morticia reading from the very beginning of the book? 2:10: "Your hubris has yet again made you the architect of your own demise." I think that was the tagline for Season 2. 5:44: We definitely got to eliminate anyone who implicate Gabrielle Barclay in her crimes. These darn sirens and their ability to force people to act against their own will; so many people are trying to take advantage of them. 7:28: "You can't do everything on your own. That's not how the world works. Even for Wednesday Addams." This entire episode is the Roast of Wednesday Addams. 13:25: "I commend you on your ability to appropriate with such... pizzazz." The writing in this episode is on fire. Also, love the subtle implication that Gomez Addams' lineage has been revised from Spain to Latin America. 15:54: "What is she just walked through her?" Would Weems even notice? Wednesday is approximately half of her height. "Ooh, I just felt your pigtail tickle my spleen, Miss Addams." 20:18: Listen, abominablita, if there is any cryptid who is believed extinct but is just in hiding, it would be the Sasquatchian genus. This is a pretty great lore-heavy episode. I also am waiting on the Ophelia twist, and it cannot come soon enough. Also, not a great episode for anyone not wanting their flaws to be eloquently articulated. Are you also getting the impression that they did not have Billie Piper for more than a week or two? She gets this tiny little scenes of high-density aura but not enough time for her performance to breathe.

I’m really really enjoying your Wednesday reactions!!♡ As someone who loved this season, I can’t wait to see your reactions to all the twists and turns!😁 Btw I know you said you purposely avoid zombie content, buuuut have you by chance ever seen the movie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? I love the book Pride and Prejudice and originally thought that the concept of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was blasphemy, but my friend showed it to me and I have to say I really really liked it!😅 If you end up opening your heart up to zombie content, that would be one I’d definitely recommend!
