"Stellar" season 6 discussion thread

Millennium 🌠

Rory: What’s up with Rudolf? I haven’t seen him this down since that one time Stella died!

Stella: Why does everybody keep saying it was just the one time?

Millennium 🌠

Imicow this show is full of obnoxious people

Specifically, I’m drawing from the Whedon/Buffy tradition wherein every character has to be Deadpan Snarker®, because nothing endears your cast to the audience more than them constantly being smug and sarcastic to each other even when it’s really not warranted.

Xandra meets up with her old friend, who hasn’t seen her since elementary school

Friend: Lexi! Oh, it’s so good to see you again, Lexi. Did you bleach your hair?

Stella: ”Lexi”???

Xandra: What? There’s more than one way to shorten my name.

Stella, to an Elder Witch: You won’t give me the reagents because I’m “underage”? What kind of sense does that make? I’m trying to brew an invisibility potion here, not build a bomb!

Xandra: Yeah! None of this stuff is anything like what I’d use to make a bomb!

(Stella and the Elder Witch both turn and stare at Xandra incredulously.)

Xandra: What? At least I passed tenth grade chemistry.

Production error: In the episode “When You Wish Upon a Farce”, there’s a scene where Xandra, who’s just wished for unlimited money, is excitedly showing off bundles of 🍭100 bills to Stella. At one point, she fans one of the stacks, but the camera is angled just such that you can see that only the top and bottom of the stack are printed with fake 🍭100 bills, and the rest is blank paper.

This goof actually was caught during editing, but they decided it was still the best take, so they kept it in and just hoped nobody would look that closely. Fanning the bills wasn’t actually in the script—Katherine Lee Hayes just kind of improvised it and C. Madison Ravenswood liked it.

Millennium 🌠

The prop 🍭100 note design is pretty convincing, though. Hayes swiped one from the set and posted pictures of it on Blathr.

It looks a lot like the real 🍭100 bill, but the portrait of Princess Alice has “evil” eyebrows and a mustache scribbled onto it, and of course, some of the text is different.

Real money:
WITH IMAGINATION, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
ONE HUNDRED LOLLIPOPS

Prop:
WITH IMAGINATION, THIS IS MONEY
A HUNDRED SUCKERS

(Stella and Rudolf, staring at a map on Stella’s phone)

Stella: The school. They’re heading for the school. Rudolf! We have to get Laura out of there.

Rudolf: I’ll bring the car around.

(Later, Stella runs into the library at New Salem High School in a complete panic)

Laura: Stella…you seem to be quite animated this afternoon. Is something wrong?

Stella: Don’t worry about me. We need to get YOU out of here as fast as we can.

Laura: Very well. I shall start packing up. I anticipate being ready to depart within 15 minutes.

Stella: No, no, no, no, no…we can’t wait that long.

(Stella grabs a cardboard box that conveniently happens to be nearby and shoves everything from Laura’s desk into it)

Laura: Some of that is school property.

Stella: We’ll return it later. Come, this way!

(Stella leads Laura to a door at the back of the library)

Laura: This egress is to be used only in emergencies.

Stella: Well, this is an emergency!

(Cut to Stella, still carrying the box, and Laura, looking as composed as ever, running out the door at the bottom of the stairwell, where Rudolf has his car idling in a loading zone, ready to receive them)

Laura: Rudolf. Your vehicle is parked illegally.

Rudolf: I’ll leave as soon as you’re in the car.

Stella: Hurry, hurry, get in already!

(Once everybody is in, Rudolf hits the gas and speeds off)
