I'm glad Agnes didn't die or turn into a villain

39:33 That casting of Isac and Francoise is crazy, they look very much like they could be siblings, and they look very much like plausible mother/uncle to Tyler.

In episode 8 the stained glass behind Weems when she was talking to Wednesday and Morticia made it look like angel wings!

I think it makes sense that Thing is the hand of a DaVinci. He's very strong. He packs a punch. And it doesn't make sense that he's so strong while he weighs a single pound at most. But the DaVinci power likely fuels his strength. It's how he moves with such impact.

I kinda feel like part of Ajax's role in this season's plot was originally meant for Xavier. I'm not mad at it though. I loved that when Wednesday interacted with Eugene, he reverted to the Eugene we know from the first season. Nice attention to detail there. Felt very real. Eugene was trying to be someone new, but his relationship with Wednesday remained unchanged.

I seriously hope we don't have to wait 3 years for season 3 but... season 2 was so worth the wait!!

My major complaint about this season was that Sherrif Galpin was killed off too early in the Season. This season was all about his wife his son and his brother in law yet Galpin never interacted with them. I think it would have been really interesting if Galpin was still alive. Would he have reunited with his wife and helped Isaac ? It seems odd that he was killed off so quickly. That said I absolutely loved the last three episodes of the season! The writers knocked it out of the park! 🙂

Just realized that Tyler would have sensed that Agnes was there and he didn’t say anything.
