"Stellar" season 6 discussion thread

Princess Alice ✨

I wish Rudolf would get over himself and just ask Stella out already. They’ve been dragging this out since season 3.

Also, how you gonna bring on Carly Robin Ravenswood for the musical episode and then not have her sing anything?? The even gave freakin’ Xandra a solo number, despite Katherine Lee Hayes’s complete lack of singing talent. Stephanie “Lil Miss” Muffet always did have a blatant contempt for the fandom…

Do we think they’re going to bring back The Professor for the season finale, or what?

“Take a Look, It’s in a Book”

Stella searches the New Salem High library for a specific book needed to fix a spell gone wrong, only to find Xandra had checked out the book minutes before she arrived—leaving Stella with no choice but to try to get on Xandra’s good side long enough to convince her to hand over the book.

“Be Prepared To Stop”

After failing to master her driving lessons, Stella attempts to pass her licensing exam by enchanting her father’s car to drive itself. She successfully passes the test, but loses her control over the spell, causing the car to erratically pilot itself through the streets of New Salem. Stella and the license examiner eventually manage to escape the car, which drives off into the woods, never to be seen again. When Stella’s father reports the car stolen, Stella begins to wonder if she is now complicit in insurance fraud.

“Witch Side Story”

Millennium curses the population of New Salem to sing their day-to-day lives as if they are characters in a musical theater production. Stella and Rudolf determine that the only way to break the curse is to get together enough of their friends to perform an ensemble number that Millennium finds satisfying. Guest starring Carly Ravenswood.

Rudolf: I swear, Stella. This new vice principal is trying to single people out for any little thing just to prove how strict he can be. It’s a total witch hunt!

Stella: glares

Rudolf: Right, sorry. It’s a total…some other kind of hunt.

Naturally, later on in the episode, it turns out the vice principal (who won’t show up again after this) actually was trying to single out witches…he just didn’t notice Stella because she’s too powerful to be easily detected.

I heard everybody on this show is on drugs

Which is ironic, given that extremely heavy-handed episode back in season 3 where the entire student body of New Salem High got addicted to “holy water”

All the subtlety of a sledgehammer

MCMXCIII Adora 🌠 what was “holy water” supposed to be

Carly Robin Ravenswood

That was the same episode where showrunner Stephanie Muffet gave herself a cameo as the phys ed teacher. Even the Tumblr side of the fandom thought that was a little self-indulgent.

Did you know the school they used for the exterior shots of New Salem High was actually South Harmony High School in Queen City? This is mostly notable because that’s where Alistair Ravenwood (who plays Rudolf) actually went to school.

Need to make a note of this, actually, to add to the wiki articles both about the show and the neighborhood of South Harmony.

Anonus Isn’t that the question of the hour. It really seemed like the writers couldn’t decide what Scary Drug they intended the “holy water” to be a ham-fisted stand-in for. You had Stella staying awake for days at a time babbling about how she was perfect and invincible while Rudolf was having what was obviously supposed to be a “bad trip”. Then there was Xandra crashing her parents’ car while driving…under the influence of holy water, I guess??

Season 3 was weird, man.

Stella: What do you mean, my learner’s permit expired?

BMV clerk: You have one year from the date of issuance to take the final test. It’s been 15 months.

Stella: Can’t you make some kind of exception? I feel like I have extenuating circumstances…

BMV clerk: I’m sorry, Miss Winterborn, I can’t make an exception. That wouldn’t be fair to everyone else. Why didn’t you take the test three months ago?

Stella: I was dead. Make a goddamn exception!

BMV clerk: I can’t do that, Ms. Winterborn. Making an exception wouldn’t be fair to all the other dead people.

Stella: Listen here, bub. You wanna talk about unfair? I’ll show you—

Rudolf: grabs Stella’s arm Time to go, Stella. Let’s go get some lunch.

Carly Robin Ravenswood

character who ages in reverse but for some reason they couldn’t get someone like Millennium who actually changes ages so they just cast several successively younger actors who don’t even look much alike

Did you know all of the “magic” scenes were filmed with practical effects? It’s true!

Somebody once asked the crew why they didn’t just film actual magic, and they said the network didn’t give them the budget for it, a thing that totally makes sense to say and believe.
