"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" Coming to the CW - Page 6

Yeah, Ambrose is a cool character. Haven't given much thought to favorites in this, but he'd be one of them.

I also like the addition of Robin. Knew something had to be a little "different" about him. Thought they might just throw it in there that he's trans, too, but...

Spoiler:

Yeah I've not got a best to worst character list but Ambrose would be a fav of mine.
Also thought Robin was nice addition, I didn't imagine he was what he was either

but he was among magical people so....

Although those two are starting to have issues now. Though I didn't quite catch what Prudence is mad at Ambrose about? Something to do with her "sisters"? This show is so full of relationship problems...and people mad at others for allowing them do things that caused their own hurt or suffering after.

edit: Can't remember if it was the last ep or one just before, but was Salem really sitting in Prudence's lap or was he edited in? I honestly could not decide. lol Was leaning toward real, but that is one well trained stage cat if so. But something felt off.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-01-2020, 11:49 PM

Wow, Salem finally shows up in episode 6. Why didn't he change into monster form at the carnival? Yeah, he's clearly either greenscreened into things, 2nd united in for certain shots, or straight up CGI.

6 episodes in now. The stuff with the pagan witches is neat, though I kind of wish they'd hurry it along.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-03-2020, 05:06 PM

Finished it off. Really good! And a vampiric Vlad the Impaler comes to her aid? lol... I'm a huge Vlad the Impaler fan. It seems like they kind of went the route of "Dracula 2000" in giving him a Judas connection. I'm not sure how a guy who was born in the 1400s could be "the first vampire," though, unless they're saying that's when they first appeared.

Good stuff, can't wait for more. They did a LOT in that finale.

*newfan* · 07-09-2020, 03:08 AM

So, it's ending... official twitter account announced that the final chapter is coming later this year.

We don't want things to get stale but I didn't feel it was going there yet, I've enjoyed the 3 seasons over all and they are only seasons, I guess it either wasn't doing well or they have told the story they wanted to tell maybe? Looking forward to what they do at least, maybe they would do a longer last series to finish it off (they were going to do that with Lucifer until they decided on doing another finale season instead)

*Andrew NDB* · 07-09-2020, 03:34 AM

What? Why? How stupid. This could go on and on for many more seasons. And it's definitely "doing well."

I did a quick browse for articles but didn't find much. There was just speculation that Netflix seems to do this often after 3 seasons, a guess that it's down to shows becoming more expensive. I don't know. You are right though, with only short seasons it's really not that much when you think that shows on regular/commercial tv get 20 something eps per season

*ZariusTwo* · 07-09-2020, 04:07 AM

Seems all the Archie-licenced shows are drying up except Riverdale.

I suspect a combination of COVID and Kiernan wanting to explore other options is behind this.

Damn. Very stupid, though. Now we can't even look forward to a Riverdale crossover, unless that just happens on Riverdale. But seems unlikely.

Oh? Did they kill that Kathy Keene show or whatever, too?

In the article I read (there are more up now but with no more info) it talked about Netflix general contracts preventing their shows from airing on other TV networks for something like 2-7 years (this statement was speculation in the case of hopes CW could pick it up) but I am not sure how using the characters as guests in a cross-over would work (if someone wanted to do that)

Feels like it only just started still to me. Also, apparently there are only 8 episodes to come, which is disappointing when I think of there being a fleshed out conclusion.

*Andrew NDB* · 07-09-2020, 05:01 AM

This whole notion of a "conclusion" seems awful to me. We weren't spiraling towards a "conclusion," they've been world building little by little. Introducing this, introducing that. Setting the stage for many seasons to come.

Yep, it's gone.

Agreed, it still felt on the up at this point and not winding down. Makes the conclusion feel all the more abrupt.

*Andrew NDB* · 07-12-2020, 08:44 PM

Looks like the rug was definitely yanked out from under them. They were already planning a season 5 and it would have been the "witch war":

*newfan* · 12-31-2020, 03:52 AM

Last part starts today, I'm planning to start tomorrow though Cobra Kai starts tomorrow too so bit of a Clash there.

*Shark_Blade* · 12-31-2020, 05:59 AM

Yes I’m excited too.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-31-2020, 11:23 PM

Saw the first of the new season. Nice enough. Fun. I guess this season will be like Father Blackwell's terrorization of Greendale of the week, kind of a thing?

Definitely a lot of CGI/rotoscoped in Salem. Which is better than nothing. At least they're trying.

*IndigoErth* · 01-04-2021, 04:54 PM

Finished it last night... So that is really how this ends...?

IndigoErth Team Blue Boy Join Date: Jun 2014 Location: U.S., East Coast Posts: 16,296	Finished it last night... So that is really how this ends...? Spoiler: A little flat of an ending, imo. She dies, none of these people with magic powers can resurrect her or even try, and then the ex/rekindled-30-seconds-ago boyfriend shows up in the same "hereafter" room like, 'Oh, yeah, I just died too,' the end? They retrieved her body from the void the first time, after already getting her soul into her "twin," so why the heck couldn't they just try to do it again and put her soul back into her own body before she died? And the struggle for who is ruling hell just remains a plot hole? Among other things. Although I love that they got the tv show aunts from years ago for a couple of episodes. lol
