Hey, so I’ve been on Wikipedia and found the list of writers for part 4. So it seems they put 4 new writers who have never written an episode of CAOS before. I don’t know how screenwriting works, so I’m just here to expose the facts.

I observed:

- Part 1: 5 episodes co-written (CH6/8/9/10/11)

- Part 2: 2 episodes co-written (CH13/18)

- Part 3: 1 episode co-written (CH28)

- Part 4: 3 episodes co-written (CH29/34/35)

As for part 4:

- The episodes written by a single screenwriter are with new people.

- The second part of the season is co-written by screenwriters who are here from part 1 (responsible for the good and the bad episodes unfortunately).

- Ep4 is written by a screenwriter who didn’t write for part 3 (and co-wrote Chapter 8, just saying... but she also co-wrote Chapter 18, so stepford-Zelda). So there’s a lot to be expecting for this episode.

- I also remarked that part 1 to 3 had paired almost only writers of the same sex. With the exception of 2 on 8 episodes over the 3 parts. These 2 episodes are in part 1 (CH6/9). Part 4 has teams of mixed screenwriters every time.

- Part 4 new writers are women, 2 worked for supernatural/fantastic tv series before (IMBD). I couldn’t get info on Eleanor Jean. Also only women apart from RAS are lonely writers in this part. For comparison: the episodes written by at least one woman are 6 for pt1; 4 for pt2; and 3 for pt3 (note there are 2 episodes less in part 3, which represents a bit less percentage of episodes written by a woman than for pt2). So for part 4, about 90% of the season is written by at least one female screenwriter. That’s a big change. I wonder what made them change radically from 40/50% to 90%. Part 1 had a good ratio already, but this season will be something new.

Now we wait.

I can’t get over the fact that the Spellmans/Prudence decided to keep the twins away on their own. Like I get it it’s better for them to be away from their brainwasher/brainwashed father but they certainly don’t deserve to be left alone. They were already alone and without any contact to anyone else, they don’t know how to interact with people and the world. They needed support and more protection than just put them away and keep them locked without notion of time and space. Which is, in my sense, also torture. I get they didn’t have time to take care of them in them in the show. I was also surprised Zelda didn’t care about them while she took care of them merely months ago while they were babies.

I’m saying it again, but the way the characters don’t have time to take care of their health is crazy in that show. If they did they would be able to grow from healing their traumas, it would make them more complex, relatable characters. It would be not necessarily darker, and actually there is no much place for comedy in the show which is sad, when they do it’s great.

In my opinion, the writers and show runners want to really make a teen drama with a lot of action and complex plots to avoid having to talk about things that hurt. Even Nick’s addictions were downplayed. It was really interesting but they went through the surface in my opinion. And people such as Lilith/Hilda/Zelda need time to focus on their traumas. And I also think about Ambrose/Faustus should have time for that too. Well, for Faustus it’s another whole deal but anyway 😂. And the mortals are the most chilled people I have ever seen. Like they went to Hell like no big deal, I get they love Sabrina and support her but I mean that’s a lot to take in for them.

Maybe I’m too aware of my mental health to want to see some representation in that kind of show.

Stages of grief

Stage 1: denial

Nah, it’s gonna come back I’m sure

Stage 2: anger

Like who ever does a sick thing like making the two people who can’t stand each other have sex?

Stage 3: bargaining

If only he wasn’t that crazy like he lost his mind long ago. If only...

Stage 4: depression

*stares in the void in the shower, in class, in the metro, in the street*

Stage 5: DENIAL IS BACK

*rewatch part 1 and spends most of my time on AO3 and searching for clues for part 4*
