Why does the Dark Lord even want a half-witch by his side to reign over hell?Īlso still totally unclear: how magic works here. The fact that she’s a half-mortal/half-witch is all very cool material for her own soul-searching journey, but that alone does not explain why everyone is so obsessed with her. But I am still very confused about what makes Sabrina so special, beyond the accident of her birth.

It’s still unclear what the big mystery of the show really is - is it whether Sabrina’s parents were murdered or died in that plane crash? If it’s obvious to us, mere mortals watching from our couches, that no one “just” dies in a plane crash in this world, why don’t Sabrina’s aunts have any suspicions about the circumstances of Edward and Diana’s deaths? Or are we supposed to be most invested in whether Sabrina will choose the path of light or the dark? Is light synonymous with mortal? Or is there a way to be a witch, in service to the Dark Lord, without going full evil? All of this is - still! - extremely unclear.Īnd look, I’ve been team Kiernan Shipka since she put that dry cleaning bag over her head during a poorly supervised playdate in Ossining.

Quests that could have (really, should have) been episode-length escapades are over seconds after they begin. Sweet suffering Salem, we need to talk about pacing.Īfter an episode in which a whole lot of nothing happened, we get one in which so much everything happened it was just about impossible to process or follow it all.
