WIP WEDNESDAY !! | sneak peak for upcoming posts

Review episode 312

It’s weird because I enjoyed the episode but most of my comments are actually criticism so bare with me 😂

Overall it was a nice episode to watch. The acting was on point especially for Sarah and Poppy imo they carried this episode but also probably cause they’re the one with the most compelling stories on this one. The episode kinda felt like a filler but honestly that’s because the show is focusing too much on the allergy and we know that’s not gonna be fixed til the end so as long as they make that the main story of the sisters, most episodes are gonna feel like fillers when it comes to them. Macy and Maggie had their own little adventure with a ghost which was funny (again kudo to Sarah), Harry and Mel went on a quest for a soul tho we still have no clue what it actually meant and Abigael was going through her own little traumatic hell in the tomb (Poppy really has been particularly slaying this storyline acting wise ).

Screen time

Abigael: 6m11s

Macy: 17m24s

Mel: 11m15s

Maggie: 18m24s

Harry: 11m03s

What I liked

Maggie still got the internship and I’m glad back she deserved it. I really don’t dislike Antonio but I’m also glad they kinda made it clear she wasn’t interested and that she finally made progress with her feelings for Jordan.

Abigael. I liked it because it gave us more insight on Abigael’s past (tho I still think they should have given us this earlier). I always theorised that from her childhood, she was obviously scared from the fact her mom never really accepted her demon side which created her deep feeling of rejection and how she was never accepted and never belonged. But I also thought she had some kind of loving family. Like to me these two things were not necessarily contradictory. Well apparently not. Her mom straight out abused her during her childhood. Which definitely explain why she choose the demon side like that. Both her parents were terrible to them but as she said in the past, at least she can understand demon a little but. She can rationalise it base on their nature. When it came from her mom however, it came fully from a place of dislike which must have been very harmful on a child. So obviously when I say I like it I don’t mean I like what her mom did to her, but I really like the insight and explanation. And again, Poppy did an amazing job. She made Abigael feel so vulnerable and scared, and confirmed that, ultimately what Abigael always wanted was acceptance. Which she first needs to give to herself.

Marisol and Macy sharing a scene. I have my issues with how it went which I’ll come to later. But I’m glad it existed and Mads really showed great emotions.

That was a short list because if I did enjoy the episode and there was some highlights I’ll talk about later, I also can’t really pintpoint things I loved.

What I disliked

Harry’s story. I just really don’t like how they make it all about the relationship when it could be so much deeper than that. I also am not sure I like the length to which he’s ready to go for it. Like the entire soul donation is a bit weird to me.

Marisol and Macy. Listen that one made me angry. Maybe it wouldn’t have if Macy actually had other stuff going on than her relationship with Harry but with the way the show has been writing her mostly around her relationship with Harry, it really didn’t come across well to me. The fact we had for the first time a in present tense scene between Macy and Marisol and all they talked about a man has me fuming. Maybe if they had had a longer time to talk. But they had like two minutes and most of it was about men.

The sisters. I don’t like the fact Mel wasn’t there when they were going to connect with their mom. I feel like that should have been a story kept for all three of them. I’m also annoyed that they once again refused to give us some Mel and Macy. I would have liked to see them a bit. Once again that sisterly bond feels like it’s non existent.

Melby. I cannot believe anyone would actually look at them and think yes that’s good. The treatment is absolutely terrible. The buildup was bad - because it was supposed to last - and the fact it’s all off screen is absolutely terrible. Ruby has been in three episode this season. One of them she didn’t actually share a scene with Ruby. The second episode they were full of drama and jealousy and they were so easily breaking up. And suddenly we jump to the I love yous. And were supposed to find that cute ? Like what are we supposed to think they love about each other? The constant breaking ups ? Cause that’s the most consistent thing about them. It kinda feels cheap in the way it’s done ngl.

What doesn’t make sense

Why was Jordan in the description ? I feel they’re kinda trying to avoid putting Abi’s name in the summaries (or at least it feels like it) but like .... Jordan had not reason to even be talked about. He didn’t appear once. It should have been Abi’s name in there.

The pills falling from the pocket Like ... Harry you had literally one job. How exactly did they fall ??

Why did they seem lost until their realised Jordy was a descendant and they could use his soul. Did I miss something saying it needed to be a male descendant ? Cause like ... Gil (Jil ? Idk) was literally right there. (Nevermind apparently I missed them saying « male descendent » my bad dkdjd

How did abi know she was in the tomb. Like I know my girl is smart but like ... she has basically no contact with the sisters at this point so how on earth did she learn how the tomb works and what happens inside ??

Highlights

The hammer. Listen, don’t ask me why but this picture of abi has been sending me for weeks now and I’ve been wondering the context since I’ve seen it. Like it gives me the biggest dumb bitch energy ever. The fact that abi is a very smart person and just thought a hammer would get her out of the tomb just has me laughing like it’s just too funny to me 😭

“The British hot lady” Swan I understand You

The way Maggie calls for Abi and gets into her apartment. I don’t know why I just love it.

Macy trying to lie to Antonio. Macy’s face when she lies is always a delight.

No but do any of these older generations know what not having an affair even mean? But I mean like father like son I guess.

« Who footnotes a spell » Macy’s face was so funny 😭 she was so done with it.

Theories

Not gonna lie. I’m a bit scare about next episode. I think it might be really interesting but also I’m very scare of the execution especially when it comes to Abigael and Macy. I do believe Macy has valid to distrust Abigael. However the show has been terrible at portraying those. And ultimately, especially lately, the sisters and Abigael have barely crossed paths. They’re barely in each other’s lives. All the do is coexist in the same city and interact when demons are involved which isn’t really the case. So right now all abi is doing is keeping the demons in lines. So I’m scared that Macy’s rightful dislike and distrust is almost gonna come across as pettiness or jealousy. But I also think that there is a difference between not trusting Abigael and say she deserves to be in the tomb. Cause at the end of the day past episode 4 what has she really done so terrible that deserves eternal suffering/delusion or whatever the tomb actually does. She’s manipulative and self serving sure but she also helps more than anything. The sisters have actually nothing to win have having Abigael stuck in there. And more to lose.

One theory is that the perfecti are trying to isolate the sisters. Putting abi and Jordan in the tomb is separating them from their allies and helping Harry to lose his powers is taking their guidance/healer away from them.

Another is just that really just have a very strict black and white vision and Abigael being a demon and Jordan helping them makes them automatically in the black category. Which the title seems to be referring to so it’s probably this.

I think the upcoming episode might be a way to introduce the whole controversy around Macy’s demon powers. And slowly bringing up the story of Abigael giving them back to her.

I think it also might be a way to actually have the show approach the wrongs Abigael did in the show. But also the rights. After all, it seems like they’ll need to prove she doesn’t deserve to be in it. Which I personally don’t think she does. Though she definitely did wrong things in her life. So I think they might actually use this as an occasion to have the sisters talk about what she did do that was wrong. And hopefully also highlight that she did help them on multiple occasions.

With the “previously in charmed” it makes it feel like they’re still going with Maggie not knowing Jordan can actually touch her and this doesn’t stop confusing me. But I can see the show have them hug once he’s out of the tomb and then kinda admit their feelings finally and Jordan say something in the lines that he kept it from her because he didn’t want to put pressure on her or that him being able to touch her didn’t change the fact she wanted to focus on herself or something on those lines.

One thing I want to talk about is Abigael. Please don’t read this paragraph if you haven’t heard about the rumours going around. //// The fact is, there is a very strong change Poppy is leaving the show. And the way they made this episode made it very clear Abigael was abused as a child. But that she is also absolutely craving love and acceptance. And that she does love her mom and always wanted her love. I’m very scared that if they make Abigael leave (better than die) they’d make her go back to her sister and family and try to fix their relationship. Which would absolutely be terrible message to give as we literally know now that she was abused. And making a character go back to their abusers because of the trauma it caused (her fear of rejection and inability to actually accept herself) would just be disgusting. But I’m scared that’s the road they’re gonna take.

in your opinion, who do you think would eventually start liking their bff out of the boys? i always see kuroo as a big on ngl, but who else? 🤔

spent a good while thinking about this answer, so here it is (in no specific order):

kageyama tobio — for the majority of his life, he hasn’t really had close friends (like close close) so i think finally getting a best friend and seeing how close they treat him, his feelings will def get confused. lowkey, i think he would most likely suppress his feelings if he did catch any and simply classify them as just being homies lmao

bokuto koutarou — this guy is a literal sunshine and is really affectionate even to his best friends. i think a main component to why i think he could potentially catch feelings is that, he may be used to the amount of skinship he does that he doesn’t even notice until you’re suddenly close with someone else (that makes any sense)

semi eita — i think it’s because this guy is just so competitive and gets kind of jealous in certain cases, i feel like if his title of being your best friend is being tested, there’s def a change in his actions towards you and he might even acknowledge the fact that he might’ve caught feelings that caused all the jealousy

yamaguchi tadashi — i don’t really know how to explain this one, but yamaguchi just gives me ‘best friend of the protagonist who ends up falling in love with them’ type of teen indie film character vibe and i’m honestly living for it

i thought this shotgun wasn’t dropping until next week so i am pleased!

um they gotta updaate the opening credits with white version jayfk

oh and NOT CHAMPION ANDY

hi can we not keep talking about the LAST SHOTGUN EVER you’re making me sad

espe XXL shotgun cause it’s basically shotgun with less plot

at least we’ll still have plot segments on road to shows

ivan! wrestling!

we better fucking get a rise plot segment

it’s silly when dudes wear their merch as aprons

WELL HELLO PETE BOUNCER IN JEANS

ivan is so lucky

“ivan kiev, representing rise, versus julian pace, representing cars’ omg alan

tfw when someone accidentally zooms imn the hard cam

julian not happy that ivan basically sat on his face for that pin

ohhhh vollgas like ‘full gas’

listen german is hard

does ivan seem a little off in the ring to you guys? or maybe something about the pace is off?

nooo my boy :(

ngl i kinda worry about ivan because lbr pete is pretty enough to stay over even if creative has nothing for him

i wonder if this is before or after walter’s jealousy

‘veit i like u but ringkampf isn’t for babies’

i only just realized that tim has half of his head shaved and i hate it

why does this boy hate having hair

wowwww marius you really saying veit doesn’t hit the gym?

“looking at my awesome belt because i am an awesome guy” wowwww he’s just andy jr now

oh dammit i was hoping to see that match at broken rules so marius could lose, but it’s been a long tim since the shotgun title has changed hands on shotgun

precious moments :)

so andy’s shoulder will be ok by next week?

oh no ivan’s hair is long and i don’t like it

like, it’s actually awful

bobby hanging out with rise is kinda weird but i can dig it

i actually really like bobby and lucky, whether they’re allies or foes

so is fred yehi going to get to win a match

we had him and lucky being bros and that was special, but of course the tarkan storyline took over

lol apparently this is the last match we’ll see of him on the tour, so i’d be honestly be shocked if he wins this

it’s odd too because commentary always really talks him up, so it seems like the office likes him

oberhausen y u boo

well no i know why bobby is beloved

awww monster consulting :( they were so sad

avalanche looked like he wanted to cry i wanted to hug him

aww but they’re still happy for their friend!

i only pretended to be interested in roh when new japan  guys came around

ali has a ghostbusters tattoo

god please let us get a pretty bastards segment

the one they had forever ago was hilarious

lol tommy just called lsg ‘lsd’

no ali not in the face! ahura’s too pretty

i do really appreciate how commentary always introduces and really talks up new people

they put a lot of effort into telling you why you might want to care

that was a fun match!

but i still want more of our pretty narcicissts

oh man i forgot if lufisto is sticking around or not

i still maintain that was not a good distraction spot

YES LUFISTO IS STILL AROOUND

aww mella’s singing isn’t that bad

hahahahaha that was fucking great

tfw people are getting in line to come after your baby

*toni voice* i woke up and immediatly had to tell you i hate you

HERE’S THE CHEATING ANGLE

i mean what more can i say

*gasp* andy and marius on the same side of the ring again???

ringkampf need some couples counseling...perhaps monster consulting could help????

omg veit has his shirt tucked into his trunks

bb no

i mean i get he’s trying to avoid the ‘just took off my pants’ look but honey you look like a nerd

oh this is a bald boi fight

wow i really like this match

i think veit needs a little more to his character but he’s really starting to gel with me

and not just because i have a newfound appreciation for meaty men

LMAO THAT MELANIE PORTRAIT

woman laughing with championship

i wonder if destro (and his car battery) is coming with him
