Wednesday: 25 Things You Missed

As Morticia caught the Gaze of a young Gomez Addams she knew that he would be trapped amongst her throned roses for the rest of his unnatural life. Years later they would begot a child of woe. With an affinity for fire, a knack for lobbing heads off of dolls like aristocrats, and inky black pigtails which will inevitably tightena round the world to make it hers. This my frightful friends is the ever wrathful Wednesday Addams. An eldest child tasked with torturing her younger brother, Wrdnesday found herself acting out a little too harshly. Netflix has made the grim mistake to undertake telling her story of redemption at the boarding school known as Nevermore. A school for outcasts and outsiders. But amongst the cast of creepy crawlies exist a dark truth scratching the surface of the ice, begging to be seen. And who other than our titular tormentor to plunge into the cold deep waters of history and mystery to resurface with profound truths regarding her parents and Nevermore Academy. So grab your fingers, less they crawl away. Hold on to your heads, sans them and your vision would become very difficult. Because we’re about to detail only 25 things in Wednesday you missed.

Jenna really slayed this role, I hope that it gets a second season!

[littlepixieme]

Grandmama is Gomez's mother. There is a grandma frump as well who is morticia's mother, but the one that lives with them is Gomez's mother. It's very explicitly stated in the 60 show. Not to mention, morticia's older sister is named Ophelia. So the naming of the dorm is both a nod to Hamlet as well as to Morticia's family

[knifetoucher]

Hope to get more seasons of this show, was great

[sabatasmia]

The hypocrisy on Thornhill's part was she hated outcasts for family reasons due to some of them having the ability to do magic. But she interestingly used magic to resurrect her ancestor who hated outcasts and their magic so much, that he carried a magical staph to fight magicians.

A small detail I noticed was during the cello scene. During the scene you hear the cello play but you can also hear the two fingers snap in the beat (not sure how to explain). You can hear two finger snaps at the exact moment when Rowan walks into the Nightshade secret room, a small hint that you need to snap your fingers twice in order to unlock the door leading the room. I am not sure if that detail was on accident, but it's really cool.

[nmhg]

Ophelia is also probably a reference to the 60s show and Morticia's sister, Ophelia Frump, who was supposed to marry Gomez

[DanPuleo]

Missed when Tyler responds to Wednesday's ringing the coffee shop bell with Lurch's signature phrase "You rang?"

[tracccy]

Just after the scene of her birthday cake is a "pin the tale on the donkey" style poster but it's Beetle Juice! Did anyone else see it? And did anyone notice Morticia's School Year Book was 1991. From the year the Addams Family movie came out with Christina Ricci

[Anuaiyer]

At the ending of season 1, you can see Lurch looks completely different than he was at the beginning of the season. His eyes are black and not white. It may be possible that Principal Weems is alive and probably shape shifted into Lurch to take Wednesday away at somewhere safer as Tyler is still alive!

[natfoote]

A couple of notes about her dance: You can, very briefly, see her doing "The Droop" which young Wednesday did in the original TV show while teaching Lurch how to dance. When she is flopping her head side to side that resembles the distinctive dance of the oddly-named twin sisters "3" and "4" in "A Charlie Brown Christmas Special."

[HumDog]

Maybe it was too obvious for the list, but the monster Tyler turned into had similar eyes and teeth to Beetlejuice’s snake form in the movie, which was also directed by Burton.

[RikFTK]

The rowing team dressed as jesters is a referrence to Fortunado, one of the characters from The Cask of Amontillado, an E.A. Poe story. The Black Cats are a referrence to the story of the same name. The other two boats reference The Pit and the Pendulum and The Gold Bug. It is not named the Poe Cup for nothing.

[christinblair]

Grandma Addams is Gomez's mother in all versions of the family. This is very clear in the OG series. Morticia's mother is Grandma Frump and is played by the same actress who played the wicked witch in the OG Wizard of OZ.

[lindsayschuster]

Origin lore says that Fester was hit by lightning but not killed because the lightning never left his body.

[N_]

The tree in the middle of the quad is a reference to sleepy hollow, which also had Cristina ricci in it

[Sarah_Chapman]

Monday’s child is fair of face
Tuesdays child is full of grace
Wednesdays child is full of woe
Thursdays child has far to go
Fridays child is loving and giving
Saturdays child works hard for its living
and the child that is born on the sabbath day,
is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

for if you wondered what the poem was when Morticia said “wednesdays child is full of woe” !

[lindsayschuster]

It wasn't that her girl scout cookies weren't made from real cookies. They weren't made from real girl scouts. A witty comeback to Wednesday being asked if her "lemonade" was made with real lemons. Wednesday doesn't have a long history of not liking girl scouts, she has a 2 movie history of not liking Amanda.

[kevmagill]

Spoiler for the probability of a season 2....Remember when Wednesday stabbed and killed Crackstone and as he disintegrated we saw his ring hit the ground....and then no more about that ring.
I mean it had to be pretty important to make a close up shot of it hitting the ground, right?
I say whomever picks up that ring will be posessed by evil and will be Wednesday's foe in Season 2.

[happychaosofthenorth]

Um, the Poe Cup, the teams weren't referencing Batman villains, they were referencing stories by Edgar Allan Poe, lol.

[eyeless_sinner]

I can guarantee there will be a second season with how popular this show is.
