00:00Sabrina 90's show, Bunt Friday.
00:04How is magic too hard for Sabrina?
00:08She just made wishes and pointed last episode and it worked.
00:12Zelda tries to give her an easy spell and she reads the spell with some obscure words
00:17like she somehow is stupid enough to have either thought that was easy to understand
00:20or she didn't read the spell before saying its instructions out loud.
00:25And shockingly, Hilda knows what the book's trying to say.
00:28To put a camel's tongue in your mouth.
00:32I thought the show was trying to establish that Zelda's the super smart one for the first time.
00:37And eventually Zelda reassures Sabrina with her arm around her she'll get good at with practice.
00:43Hilda calls her out on sucking the fun out of magic, which the writer should realize is also calling out the show.
00:50And she shows her a spell that's fun at parties.
00:54Zelda says that's how old mortals are doing it.
00:57And Sabrina eventually pulls a rabbit out of a hat.
01:01It's weird that there wasn't a special effect or ding sound.
01:05The rabbit says he wants to get back to his wife.
01:08So I have to assume he was a warlock transformed from being evil.
01:11And like a normal person, Sabrina says sorry.
01:16So when she said mortals are doing it, she's just being metaphorical.
01:20Otherwise it'd be a stupid line.
01:23It's nice of Sabrina to pet Salem.
01:25Salem says he come to sleep last night and he tried reading the most boring thing he could find, but not even her diary did it.
01:32I like that line.
01:35This would only risk her abusing magic on him.
01:37Not in a violent way.
01:39I mean like turning him into a pineapple or make him float.
01:43Since he knows Sabrina's a softie who just showed him she's still attached to him,
01:47it makes sense that the kind of guy who took the risk of trying to take over the world would also take the risk of not taking Sabrina seriously.
01:54He was right because all she did was look annoyed with him.
01:57And then since he asks who Harvey is, the story wastes my time.
02:02It's also a little amusing that Salem sings Harvey and Sabrina and Sabrina carries him out of the house.
02:09Hilda surprisingly brags to her family about going out with the head of the Witches' Council tonight.
02:15I like that she creates a neon arrow to do that.
02:19That's definitely what witches would do.
02:21Zelda and Sabrina are as confused as I am.
02:23Surprisingly, it doesn't explain why Hilda's happy about this.
02:29Last episode, she was disgusted at the idea that Drell liked her, and she grabbed his mole when she saw him again.
02:35It's explained that Drell canceled his dates with her a thousand times.
02:39But he always sends her a pot roast to make up for it.
02:42So now it makes sense.
02:44She's only looking forward to the pot roast.
02:47She should have been written to say that instead of making a fool out of herself in front of these two witches.
02:51One of which should have assumed that was the only reason she was happy.
02:56Hilda has a good point that flowers were wilted, so beef is better.
03:01When Sabrina leaves the house, Salem taunts her again, and he meows like a cat in pain.
03:06That's creepy.
03:08It makes sense that she thinks her aunts won't really care, since they can heal any injuries.
03:12Logically.
03:13The cooking teacher tries to teach the students how to fold napkins for fun because it was a hobby in the 19th century.
03:21I took a home ec class, too, and never got taught about this.
03:25I wonder how different Canada's schools are from America's.
03:29Jenny being written to lampshade being taught something completely worthless and not related to food doesn't justify it.
03:35Jenny complains about Libby making jokes about the two of them, and Sabrina reassures her, but it's not successful because they started pointing at them.
03:44You'd think the still-talking teacher would punish them.
03:48She didn't even care about Sabrina talking, thankfully.
03:52Eventually, Sabrina gets the treat of Harvey chatting with her.
03:55He explains that he's only in the class so he could get to eat during class because Couch said he needs to bulk up.
04:01It's nice that at no point does he get mistreated for being a boy in a cooking class.
04:06The story wastes time for a long time after this.
04:10Jenny wonders what's on Harvey's mind because he's staring out the window and baselessly assumes that poetry's on Harvey's mind, as if she has a crush on him.
04:18So at a time like this, I don't know why Sabrina tells Jenny that she just likes Harvey as a friend.
04:23She's too optimistic to think there's no point in dating any mortal because it'll only lead to divorce and her being separated from the kid.
04:31She uses magic to make a red napkin in the shape of a rose, which is good because it makes a teacher happy.
04:38There's more time wasting that's no fun at all aside from the bittersweet moment of Sabrina lampshitting that Libby should leave her alone because she's not doing anything to her.
04:47I say bittersweet because while it does lampshade the bad writing, it doesn't get to her.
04:51Eventually, Sabrina says maturely that she shouldn't get worked up about what she says because supposedly everything she says is a lie.
05:00Which applies to actual liars, but almost everything she's said in the show so far has been true.
05:07So we're just supposed to assume most of her lying is off screen.
05:11And Jenny eventually says that everything would be better if everyone told the truth.
05:15How could she be so stupid?
05:18White lies exist.
05:20This shouldn't have been a plot because Sabrina would have known it'd backfire horribly on everyone.
05:26She looks up Truthsprinkles in the Book of Magic.
05:30I'm glad it was called Discovering Magic last episode, so there's no reason to be confused if that's not just a book about spells.
05:37Salem says Truthsprinkles for how he got made to confess to his plan to take over the world.
05:43I think this contradicts a later episode where he got arrested when he was pretty obviously planning to take over the world complete with a military uniform in front of a map.
05:52And since he got arrested while there, they would have already researched him enough to know his plan.
05:57And even if they didn't, it was obvious.
05:59It'd have been obvious if the person of science is spying on his magic use, which is the only way it's possible that no witch took over the Earth.
06:07Or maybe it did happen, but time reversed.
06:11So they wouldn't have needed Truthsprinkles for him.
06:14He just lied because it's a lot of embarrassing that way.
06:18It shows Sabrina planning to make Truthsprinkles.
06:21She somehow misreads the recipe as 500 instead of 5,000.
06:25She actually trusts Zelda enough to ask for her help.
06:30And surprisingly, she's just happy she's making them instead of mad because she's obviously only going to make them to use them on mortals.
06:38Because at least she's working on her magic.
06:41So she happily agrees to help her.
06:44I don't understand why a painting talks to them.
06:47If that's a ghost, she'd hate her life.
06:50And eventually, Sabrina explains why she wants to use the Sprinkles and says that Jenny's been upset.
07:00Which doesn't really explain why her answer's still going to let her use the Sprinkles for one person.
07:05Zelda says that it could get ugly if everyone had to tell the truth.
07:09So she knows this isn't going to be good at all.
07:12And she still lets her do it.
07:14Which is shocking and would make her look hypocritical later if she ever did act opposed to her selfishly using magic.
07:20But it makes sense because only mortals are going to be affected.
07:24Sabrina's no excuse for using them now that someone much older than her told her what was going to happen next.
07:30Since it's already going to happen,
07:32it's just redundant to show as Zelda predict how the plot's going to go.
07:36Anyone could see the message of the story coming from a mile away and everyone knows it already.
07:42So the message is worthless for anything but making an interesting story.
07:47After Livy's shown lying to Harvey that Sabrina had a nose job,
07:51he feels bad for it asking why and asking if she's sick.
07:54So she walks away.
07:56The teacher really bores me here.
07:59There's a lot of dialogue I ignore because it's just boring.
08:02Sabrina puts truth sprinkles on her dessert and offers Livy a chocolate snack.
08:08It would be difficult to imagine someone telling the truth.
08:12Because you don't know what truth you want them to say.
08:16So it makes sense that she'd have to resort to potion ingredients for this.
08:21There's a background joke showing that Livy's a terrible cuck so her girls hate them.
08:26Livy's made to tell Sabrina the lies she spread about her.
08:28The good thing is that she's happy when telling her them so it's fine morally.
08:34What's not fine is that she tells Sabrina the embarrassing secrets of her friends which makes them mad.
08:39Eventually Jenny warns Sabrina that the teacher left the room with Sabrina's spiked chocolate snacks and sprinkles to the faculty.
08:46Which causes them all to be honest.
08:49Because Sabrina was too naive to simply put the sprinkles in her pocket.
08:53It's so predictable but at least this means Sabrina didn't intentionally put the whole school under a truth spell.
09:00Like a shitty later comic.
09:04One of the teachers says he doesn't want to be here and would rather be at the race.
09:08Too bad he doesn't have a name so I have no reason to care.
09:11Eventually Harvey tells Sabrina that the real reason he's at cooking class is because he loves to cook.
09:18And soon afterwards Jenny reveals to Sabrina that she wants to date Harvey and Sabrina's nice enough to humor her reluctantly.
09:26Which is nice but stupid.
09:28Then she sees a guidance counselor and tells a student he's got no future.
09:32But at least he's having fun playing the harmonica.
09:34Eventually Sabrina doesn't tell Harvey why she can't make it to the party tonight for no real reason.
09:41It's a shame he tells Sabrina she runs funny.
09:45Well I say that but that'll teach her to stop embarrassing herself.
09:48So that's actually worth it in the long run.
09:51Eventually I get to see Hilda change her outfit with magic.
09:55And soon afterwards Zelda feels bad for Sabrina for going home sad and Hilda shows her affection.
10:00And eventually Zelda tells her that true sprinkles wear off after 24 hours.
10:06Sabrina admits that she was too stupid to know that ignorance is bliss.
10:10And eventually the date goes bad for Jenny.
10:13Harvey treats her like a friend.
10:15And while she likes poetry and he doesn't, they both like nature.
10:19So overly prematurely, they get awkward enough that Harvey forgets he didn't order pizza and asks when he'll get it.
10:25It's nice of Zelda to comfort Sabrina in her room and gently coax her into opening up about her problem.
10:33This caused her to leave to get Harvey back.
10:36It also caused her to tell her that it would dress ugly.
10:39That's sad in the short term, but it'd be worth it if she stopped wearing it.
10:44It's too bad we're never told the good long-term benefits of the truth speaking in the story.
10:48Because that would have nuance to the message.
10:50When Sabrina ends up telling Jenny the truth, it's fine.
10:55And they're fine with each other even after Jenny tells Harvey that he's a bore and he tells her that sometimes he puts little pieces of paper in her hair.
11:02Which is bad, but barely.
11:04When it's all to tell her she was wrong to not trust Drell before Hilda went on a date.
11:10She could still get disappointed at any minute.
11:12Eventually, Hilda goes from going towards the closet to happily getting the idea to stand up Drell for a change.
11:20I guess because she assumes that every other time after this, he's going to stand her up.
11:25So it's either now or never.
11:27Somehow, Zelda's just happy about the idea instead of worrying her that it's a bad idea for her to get the leader of the witches mad at her.
11:34Because there should be consequences.
11:37Unless he's a better person than you'd think.
11:39Again.
11:39Hilda tells her to lock her in the closet before she changes her mind.
11:44But she'd need a magical spell to actually keep her from going to the date.
11:48I guess she used one.
11:50Eventually, Sabrina tells Harvey he's got the most perfect sideburns, but doesn't like his onion breath.
11:56So that explains why they don't hold up right away.
11:59It's still a shame, though.
12:01It could have easily not been written to like onions.
12:04So he wouldn't have had this padding.
12:06And eventually, Sabrina finds out that Zelda didn't actually give her truth sprinkles to make her open up to her.
12:13But it's all fine, and she shows her affection and she says that now she knows the truth can be a good thing to open up about.
12:20When she says she should never be embarrassed by the truth, even though that's not always true, so that's a bad message.
12:26I'm glad Sabrina gets to ask her why she changed out of her dress then, so she won't get embarrassed by it again.
12:33Eventually, Libby gets complimented on her outfits by her friends, which causes them to walk with her, and they put their arms around her.
12:40She's awful, but I can't help but find it kind of sweet anyways, and she appreciates it.
12:45Maybe it's because literally all she did to Sabrina was spread lies that didn't backfire on Sabrina anyways,
12:53that she didn't know about until she forced Libby to tell her about them.
12:56So she's not nearly as unsympathetic in this episode.
13:01Also because her gossip was ridiculously PG-13 and weak sauce compared to real bullies.
13:08Which implies that she has standards.
13:11She didn't, like, lie about her streaking or something.
13:15I just wish it was explained why they would ever pretend to like her when it's not shown she's buying things for them like Jem.
13:21And the principal blatantly lies over the intercom that yesterday a thief talked over instead of him.
13:28And the tone he uses is funny because it makes him look pathetic.
13:32I would have said it was unrealistic for him to even bother lying about this, but politicians are like that.
13:39And I could have been assuming that after he lied, the students would believe him that the Mike Thief perfectly impersonated his voice.
13:46And would doubt their own memory of it.
13:48But the rest of the story is boring.
13:51The actual plot is over at this point.
13:54So I don't get the point of the credits scene.
13:57This nuanced story by Norma Safford Vela
14:00is about Sabrina's attempt to get Libby to tell her what lies she's been spreading about her with true sprinkles
14:05to result in the teacher giving everyone working at the school chocolate snacks that have her sprinkles on them
14:10because she stole the sprinkles thinking they were normal ones.
14:13All because Sabrina was too stupid to keep the sprinkles in her pocket so no one would borrow them thinking it was fine
14:20because it was only a brief borrowing she wouldn't notice.
14:23I said that because that's the best case scenario.
14:27So even someone idealistic could assume that would happen.
14:30But the pacing was fast enough that I didn't immediately catch that.
14:35It should be shown the whole reason the plot progresses as it does.
14:39It shows both the good and the bad results of the truth spill.
14:43But despite demonizing honesty at one point,
14:46it immediately glorifies it by having the honesty and Sabrina's friend group be just a good thing.
14:51It's easy to understand why based on the context.
14:55The moral is that honesty's got no consequences between good people or a mature where it counts.
15:00So of course it was fine in Sabrina's circle and between her and Zelda when she was trying to help her.
15:06It's not contradicting itself.
15:08It's establishing the real exception to the rule that ignorance is bliss.
15:12Having nuance.
15:13The story still should have had selved to explain this in case some idiots didn't get it
15:18and went on to be honest with oversensitive insecure hotheads.
15:22Which are the people who can't handle facts.
15:25To horrible consequences.
15:28Whenever honesty was given to people who don't appreciate it,
15:31the worst that happened was Livy locked her friends,
15:34which we had no reason to be against anyway.
15:36It didn't show the full extent of it and usually just showed people making a face because of the truth.
15:41It really downplayed what I thought would be a lot more dramatic.
15:46With people we didn't already know to be evil shouting at each other and hurting each other.
15:51It shows that sometimes it's not the right context to give hard truths.
15:56It's obvious kindergarten messaging.
15:59All of it.
16:00But it doesn't explain that the truth can lead to self-improvement and a better life and a better world
16:04if people give certain truths out in a different context where people aren't expecting nothing but courtesy and help.
16:10So in some places, truth sprinkles are good.
16:15Zelda gets insulted for a dress and changes it,
16:18but we never get shown that most people who saw her dress look down on her for it.
16:22Because she never seemed to leave the house.
16:24So we're left to either assume that's the case,
16:27or assume that Sabrina was the only one who hated the dress
16:30just because she's literally the only one we are shown to hate it,
16:34and conclude reductively that Zelda is just being weak for caving to her.
16:40At least Sabrina's aunts supported her on her goal instead of being the fun police.
16:45And this is not annoying and more realistic,
16:47because of course most witches wouldn't care if mere mortals got fed truth sprinkles,
16:51which just had minor consequences anyways.
16:54And the only major one was temporary.
16:56It didn't show us any terrible long-term consequences, unrealistically.
17:02Like someone admitting a secret that'd make him a pariah unjustifiably for years,
17:07because of the 90s.
17:09Which is good, because it's supposed to be a light-hearted comedy.
17:12But it's dangerous for a story with a message about honesty,
17:16which just shows how bad it is to have Sabrina be wrapped around
17:19telling you lessons every episode for the first time,
17:22because it makes the show be at war with itself.
17:26I guess parent groups and executives are to blame,
17:29because the creator of the series would have to be out of his mind to have this as his own idea,
17:34because it's such a lazy idea for how to make episodes.
17:40It's supposed to be a comedy.
17:42I also suspected that Zelda let her go through this so she'd learn a lesson,
17:46since she already knew the consequences.
17:49I guess this wasn't really a bad episode after all.
17:53Because the worst I can say is that there were occasional pointless moments in the episodes.
17:57Jokes that didn't land.
17:59And the pacing wasn't literally as fast as possible.
18:02And that's every story.
18:05And because I felt bored when talking about it.
18:08Because it wasn't something that was getting me emotional.
18:11Hilda's subplot was a complete waste of time
18:13that makes me wonder if she made a stupid mistake at the end.
18:16But at least it was short.
18:18I'll be right back.
18:18I have a good question.
18:19I would love it.
18:20Because she was a short dur�.
18:21To see it.
18:21But at least she had it.
18:22But at least we were perfect.
18:22I know that there were some powers being at the end.
18:22But you need to wait in some fancy.
18:23It doesn't risk of finding it.
18:23Even if we can't continue to have change,
18:24But I don't really have everything with people.
18:25Because the path of a Dazu and fewer be a bore.
18:26But at least it is really not.
18:27And it's not a bit boring.
18:28It's not a bad act.
18:29It's a brilliant story.
18:29But I ago,
18:30it's not fucking an option.
