Woe What a Night

The dance was amazing and wonderfully choreographed/filmed. The drama between Xavier and Tyler over Wednesday however, felt forced and was unnecessary; their feelings seemingly came out of no where. Why were they so upset when Wednesday never showed any genuine interest in the first place? Even Jenna hated the idea of a love triangle for her character, and on top of that it was handled so poorly- both boys were pushy, insistent, and overly emotional which kind of ruined a majority of scenes they were in. While i can understand a love interest can be used to forward the plot, Wednesday never showed much care to their feelings.. She had more worry and guilt over hurting Enid than she ever did for "leading" the boys on.

Wednesday continues her investigations and goes to the Rave'N dance.

This is another solid episode with great visuals and a strong central performance.

The mystery plot moves only slightly in this episode with a few bits of information revealed that makes you curious about various characters and ends on another moment where you want to see what happens next.

A fair bit of screen time is dedicated to character moments, particularly the romances and potential romances of various individuals. I think you have to like them or at least take an interest in these dynamics to fully appreciate these scenes. As beautiful as some sequences are to look at and as excellent as actors such as Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers play the parts, I don't think the writers have done enough to make everything work. Personally, I think screen couplings work best when the characters have gone through something meaningful together beforehand and so far in the story it's not the case. It feels to me like they are attracted to each other just because the writers say the are. (Though, I might just have forgotten what it was like to be a teenager)

This episode has some of the best cinematography, lighting, art design and choreography in the show so far.

For me it's a 7.5/10, but I round upwards.

Episode 4 of Wednesday starts with her sneaking into the County coroner's office with the help of Thing. She wants to learn more about the victims of the monster and examine the body of the latest victim. Her sleuthing is interrupted by the return of the coroner and the sheriff.

She hides in one of the mortuary cabinets and overhears their conversation. The killer is keeping trophies from his victims. The sheriff asks the coroner to keep this a secret and he gladly agrees. He is more excited that this is his last case before retiring. The next morning, Wednesday shares her findings with Edin who faints at the site of the grotesque crime scene photos. Later in class, Wednesday finds Xavier's neck wounds a little suspicious but he tells her that he tweaked his neck while fencing. Wednesday doesn't believe him and spies on him. She discovers his secret painting room on the school grounds and breaks in. Once she is in, she finds drawings of the monster, she takes one of the drawings and leaves. Xavier spots her before she leaves and asks what she is doing there. She asks him the same question and he tells her that it is his private art studio but refuses to give her a tour. She has no valid excuse for being there so she decides to ask him to the upcoming Rave N dance. Xavier is happy to be asked and thinks she is into him. It is a bit sad to see Xavier and Tyler try to get into Wednesday's good graces when she is more preoccupied with finding the monster. She is not going to be able to understand their feelings or even reciprocate them. Eugene should have just listened to Wednesday, it was a terrible idea to go alone into the woods. Ajax and Enid make a cute couple though, and it is adorable that in the midst of all the killings and mysteries they can find love. Edin is also happy that Wednesday has changed her mind and wants to bond over dress shopping. Wednesday however has other ideas and doesn't think dress shopping is their thing. While in town she visits the sheriff and tries to convince him they should walk together. The sheriff is hesitant at first but between the Mayor's constant calls for an update and Wednesday's persuasion, he agrees. He asks her to bring him some evidence and maybe they might work together to zone in on a suspect. Edin left to her own devices runs into Lucas Walker, the mayor's son and one of the three troublemakers. He asks Edin to take him to the dance in her school and lies he wants to make an ex jealous. Edin thinks this is a great idea as she is still under the impression that Ajax ghosted her and wants to make him jealous too. At the dance, Xavier is grumpy to see Tyler and Wednesday together and he asks Bianca to use her siren powers to help him get over Wednesday. Bianca is rightfully annoyed by this request and leaves. Tyler and Wednesday have a great time and she learns that Xavier was once bullied by Tyler but that doesn't faze her. On the other hand, Lucas starts to realize that he has a lot in common with Enid. However, he is at the party to ruin it and he and his friends spray red paint on the students at the end of the party. Enid is disappointed when she finds out that he only used her but the situation gives her an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with Ajax. They kiss and makeup.

What i mean by that is..the Gorgon guy turns himself to stone..And What happens after that? He ignores the girl he was supposed to go make out with...even brings another date to the dance, whom he completely ignores later. We dont even see what happens there.

All so we can have a little buildup of nothing?

Why will they not show a werewolf? All the talk about turning into one and no one ever does it. Again..how do i know the monster is not a werewolf if I have never seen a werewolf? Why is the show being so difficult about this.

Why must there be a short haired black girl in every show these days? Ive never ever seen a black woman go out in public like that.

What the hell. Wednesday is a freak and . From the beginning they want to prove she doesn't like to be a normal girl and she is not interested in stupid things that a normal teenage girl usually likes

But it seems every hero in this kind of stories should have a partner. So immediately they find a few boyfriends for her to follow the cliche of teen dramas.

Suddenly a girl that always kid her friends for buying clothes or talking about boys go to a party with boys and showed up as a dance star.

That is really disappointing. At least let it happen after a while that she get familiar to those boys.
