I'm still on episode seven but I swear the writers were like, "how do we make the whole Elliot Page thing a nothing burger? Oh, I know, let's make Allison's character so bad that everyone wishes they could go back to scenes with Viktor"



They actually made viewers feel sorry for Viktor, after all she'd done. Imagine that.

Exactly my point. Vanya had a cuteness about her, in her own tomboyish ways. Viktor? Looks like someone left Justin Bieber in the drier for too long. Seriously, what grown woman could be attracted to that little 'boyish' physique?

We finished it last night.

Robert Sheehan's portrayal of Klaus is phenomenal. A lot of great stuff going on with this show, but he's the one making the absolute most out of his dialogue.

The Ellen/Elliot stuff was minimal, and a missed opportunity to make Vanya into an interesting character.

Making Allison a villain worked, because we hated the shite out of her.

I liked Diego and Lila this time around. I think I liked everyone except for Allison and Vanya a bit more this time around.

The Footloose psychotropic dream was the highpoint of the entire series.

Robert Sheehan is basically the breakout star of this entire series. He is awesome.

Just finished season 3. I'm left with more questions than answers. Kept thinking everything would come together and Reginald would at least give an explanation of what his plan was or what was happening but he never really did.

His plan was to create a group of powered people who were capable of defeating the guardians of Oblivion so he could hit the reset, awaken his mate, and rule the world.

So he's responsible for the sudden pregnancies or did he just take advantage? I just wish there was some backstory to how everything was built and made concerning the database or whatever they were in. Most stories have a higher power that keeps responsibility for such things but I thought Reginald was just an alien, not necessarily a person who would know the workings of the universe and/or resetting of it

Just finished season 3 and was disappointed for the most part. The Victor tranny thing was a distraction, but she/he is a terrible actor as well. Ben is the worst actor on the show and his entire character was just stupid. Allison is a trifling bitch and her back and forth with victor just seemed like filler. On a positive note, Klaus was amazing and I can see him getting some big acting jobs for n the near future. Sloane has nice big fun bags and had a pretty good character and story with Luther. The Diego/Lila story was pretty good and Five was awesome as always.

Watching Episode 4 now.
Apparently, besides gravity, Sloane’s powers also consist of making her nipples poke out of a tough, leather uniform.

***SPOILERS***

I really enjoyed this season as they fleshed a lot of the characters out far better than they had previously.

Klause was the breakout this season, by far. His character gained more depth and the actor nailed the shite out of it in every scene.

I thought they moved a bit fast with Luther and Lauren, but considering the timeframe they were working with I can let it go. I was disappointed she didn't make it through to the end though.

Allison's turn was solid. I think it was made better by the stark contrast of her not being able to accept the new reality while her siblings (even Vanya) were just the opposite.

Vanya/Viktor... Meh. She played the character with the normal, depressive stance she's used for the entire series. The character had lots of potential but her portrayal was just so single-dimensional that she never seemed to grow beyond her emo-ness.

Five. The only real complaint I have of this season was that we needed more Five sarcasm.

Overall, it was a fun ride and well worth the time.

I still would have liked to know what Hargreeves was and where he came from.

Finally getting back around to finishing this season after my daughter was born 3 weeks ago and while I was busy getting used to that... Stranger Things wrapped up and Westworld started having new episodes.

Needless to say - Episode 8 and that remake of "Teenage Dream" - this has actually been a pretty good season so far, I like it better than Season 2, we shall see how they stick the landing.

ETA: Episode 8 "Wedding at the End of the World" is the best episode in all 3 seasons, holy cow (slightly beating out "The Day that Wasn't" from season 1)

Last 3 episodes sort of redeemed the season. I'm still curious about Hargreeves and his goals or did he possibly get everything he wanted right now?

If it wasn't for Klaus and 5 I don't think I would continue watching this show though.
