Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina: 10 Things That Make No Sense About Sabrina

With the final conclusion of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina releasing on Netflix on December 31st, although it’s brutal to see it end too soon, it’s also fair to say that Sabrina Spellman is one of the most spunky, fun, and iconic witches and leading heroines in TV history.

Sabrina is more than enough to carry her own series, as this half-witch, half-mortal, half-angel isn’t just a badass, she’s a very complex and well-developed character. However, not every aspect of her characterization makes sense. What elements of Sabrina Spellman’s character is illogical, contradictory, or just downright hard to understand?

10 She Wants To Go To Two Schools

From a thematic perspective, it makes sense that Sabrina wants to go to Baxter High as well as to the Academy of Unseen Arts. She’s half witch and half mortal, so creating these constant dualities in her life is understandable.

However, from a practical perspective, it’s insane. Most teenagers not only don’t enjoy school very much, but at this point the amount of work that just one school takes is way more than a full time job. Going to two schools would be borderline impossible.

9 She Involves Her Mortal Friends In The Witch World

Actually letting her friends know that she is a witch is something that obviously made Sabrina more comfortable and that allowed her friends to understand her more.

However, clearly things should have stopped there. It makes sense to rely on friends for something like emotional support or assistance with real world problems, but getting a bunch of mortals roped into extremely dangerous magical situations when she knows the risk is nuts.

8 Why Was Her Witch Education So Lacking?

Sabrina is still young when she does decide to attend the Academy of Unseen Arts, and it’s nice that Sabrina’s aunts didn’t put undue pressure on her to leave the mortal world before she was ready, but the fact that the daughter of the devil is so far behind in her magical education is surprising.

It’s odd that Lucifer didn’t intervene or attempt to manipulate Sabrina into joining the magical world a bit sooner than she did.

7 Her Parents Didn’t Think The Deal To Have Her Was Suspect

Anyone who worships the devil should know that Lucifer never makes a straightforward deal. Edward Spellman is supposed to be one of the most brilliant witches who ever lived, but he thinks that making an agreement to enable him to have a child with his mortal wife is going to be legit?

He should have known to tread a bit more carefully when it came to Sabrina’s genesis.

6 She Never Displayed Any Angelic Powers Earlier

Perhaps the devil was fine with keeping Sabrina out of the witch realm for so long simply because it made her less likely to stumble on to her more extreme powers, but it’s still a bit strange that it took so long for her to stumble upon them.

One would think that the difference in power between a witch and an angel would be huge, so it’s odd that Sabrina’s powers never seemed unusual when she was younger.

5 Hilda And Zelda Never Figured Out She Was Lucifer’s Daughter

If Edward and Diana hadn’t died under such suspicious circumstances and Sabrina hadn’t been delivered to them in such a strange way, it might make sense that Hilda and Zelda never questioned it.

But the fact that Sabrina was magically sent to them when Edward and Diana died in a plane crash should have raised some red flags, and two such smart witches would have surely done some investigating or at least thought about why things happened the way they did.

4 And Sabrina Never Suspected Anything Either

Putting Zelda and Hilda’s lack of suspicion aside, it’s also hard to understand why Sabrina wouldn’t have looked more into her weird origin story as well.

The combination of a deal being made for her birth to be arranged as well as the fact that her parents died and conveniently saved her with magic without saving themselves seems like some huge red flags, and it doesn’t seem like it’s ever piqued Brina’s curiosity.

3 The Dark Lord Never Intervened With Her Earlier

Sabrina is Lucifer’s daughter, he wants to marry her, and he was planning on making her queen of hell. So then, it’s difficult to understand why he was such a hands-off parent.

Yes, she’s still a teenager when she finds all of this out, and time probably feels different to someone who lives for millennia, but it’s strange that Lucifer actually enables Sabrina such freedom that she’d grow up into the kind of person who’d do anything to defeat him instead of wanting to rule by his side.

2 She Exists In Two Places At Once

The show obviously took the theme of Sabrina’s dual natures to the greatest extreme it could when Sabrina created another version of herself, and both versions decided to just go on existing and doing what they wanted.

It’s clear that there will be dire consequences for this at some point, but given that this seems to be something that flouts the basic laws of nature, it’s strange that it can even happen in the first place.

1 She Never Expects Consequences

Sabrina Spellman is without a doubt a very powerful and intelligent witch, but her constant downfall seems to be that she overestimates herself all the time.

Or rather, she tries to come up with solutions to problems that always seem to have obvious potential consequences, but she never actually expects herself or anyone around her to suffer those consequences.
