Yeah, I remembered that scene of Pugsley shocking Professor Orloff after I posted that. But even the Harry Potter films show kids going to class right up until Hogwarts is besieged.It’s fairly standard in dramatic storytelling to cut out the stuff when nothing plot-significant happens. Having been to boarding school, I can tell you that there is a lot of time you are in school but not in classes.
There was a scene with Pugsley causing trouble in Christopher Lloyd’s class though.
It also feels like this season is skipping over larger amounts of time than the first season did. Like Thing made it back from the asylum to the school "on foot" super-fast, and yet later on, Billie Piper's character is talking about how long the drive out to the asylum is. I'm pretty sure that same episode had Wednesday talking to Thing at night and then suddenly it's light again outside but they're still kind of continuing the same conversation, so I guess they went to sleep and now are continuing their plans the next day?
How much time has passed since the school year started in episode 1?
