the Hargreaves and Klaus scenes in this episodes are some of my favorites in this entire season. it's so freaking wholesome and I can't quite put my finger on why lol ❤

Alison has become some one who should never ever be allowed to be responsible for raising a child.

It is a f*cking miracle that victor didn't freakin cutlet Alison, she basically killed his son and it was just past by like nothing. At this point when I think about Alison, I can only quote Eric: "I want violence!"

Don't apologize Eric, that basement comment was cruel

Yeah, I understood what Allison was feeling to a point, until Luther, and everything after. Her saying everyone (Victor) is always ruining her happiness, but everything that happens/happened to her, is a direct result of her using Rumor, to get whatever she wanted, in her OG life, and because of that, there were consequences she herself brought onto herself. Going so far as Viktor firsts apocalypse, it started with her Rumor, even though she was child then, the isolation and coldness towards her was most of their life. It all boils down to Hargreeves starting the whole thing when they were kids, but a lot of Allisons issues were caused by her own powers, which she realized in s2 then I guess unrealized here in s3. Her breakdown and anguish from the loss of Ray and Claire, absolutely yes, I get it, but when she first tried to make it 5s fault, then how she handled Sloane initially in the bathhouse, was like c'mon someone help Allison, or open up, but from Luther onwards was just no. Thought maybe Rays speech was gunna help ease some of that pain, but then Harlan said what he said, she just forgot all that, and then it just died.

in the umbrella academy ben is number 6, but in the sparrows he’s number 2 so i think feeling second best to marcus in hargreeves’ eyes really influenced ben’s overall demeanor in the new timeline

When calvin points at a character like that , all I can hear is "this bitch!?!"

I figured the Jennifer Incident is just like a Noodle/Jockstrap Incident trope where characters will refer to it, but never explain what they're talking about

How could you guys not include the scene of Five and Viktor talking towards the end of the episode?! It's seriously one of the best scenes of the season imo. A very honest conversation where Five is able to be straightforward with Viktor about how his choices do affect the world while still being able to show he genuinely loves and cares about him. It's SUCH a good scene acting, dialogue, camera work and solidifies Five as my personal #1 of the siblings.

Hopefully, this helps: Alison only cares about getting back to the reality where she has Claire. Therefore, nothing in this reality matters. This is compounded by the fact that she has always been able to get whatever she wants - even Claire - by using her powers. Sure, sometimes things haven't gone her way and she's had to deal with it, but this time she categorically cannot use her powers to get what she wants. It's the first time she's ever lost complete control over her life. As a result, she's doing whatever she can to regain any control. At first, it was things like lying to the Sparrows for little to no gain against the plan she had with Viktor. Then, killing Harlan gave her control over Viktor. She's on a path to becoming a villain and it is supposed to be painful. It's one of the first times I can remember actually feeling like a character is becoming irredeemable. We love to hate her. As for the rest of the group, they've bounced from one apocalypse to the next pretty much non-stop, with only a few of them having some weird alternative lives in the 60s. At a certain point, your brain is going to disconnect from taking anything seriously, otherwise, they'd just go into a stupor. Couple that with traumatic childhoods and a disassociation with society and it all kinda weirdly makes sense. Equally, maybe it's all just written to evoke emotional reactions from the audience and none of it has to make sense.

11:24 “THIS BITCH 🫵”

"Bruttosozialprodukt" was a song I never expected hearing in this show.

Ya know... I adore this show and love this season, and I don't mind that Allison is getting hella dark (the actress is doing a great job), but I think I'm a bit disappointed with *how* it's being handled. In a show full of messaging about trauma they could have done so much more with exploring the idea of black women's trauma being minimized and tone policing and all that in how she feels unheard, overlooked, and constantly grows more spiteful. And especially since Victor transitioned it's a bit of an odd choice to make the only woman left in the family such an angering character IMHO.

Reginald definitely raised the Sparrows differently to how he raised the Umbrellas. They never outright say it, but it's definitely alluded to. The differences in their relationship with their assigned numbers is a pretty big give away. The Sparrows treat their numbers like a ranking, whereas the Umbrellas treat them like their names, which is probably because Reginald refers to the Sparrows by their actual names, whereas he refers to the Umbrellas by their numbers. Also, the fact that the Sparrows refer to Grace as "Grace", whereas the Umbrellas call her "Mom". I think, also, the fact that all of the Sparrows stayed and continued fighting crime as adults, whereas the Umbrellas all left home says a lot.

Klaus, playing catch with Father,has put it on a way different level. LoL 😆

None of them had a mother either just a robot, but at least the umbrellas respected her like a mum and Diego loved her like a mum the most

The comparison is that Five killed the board _to save his family_ It's never been about saving the world for Five, it's been about his family. He's killed innocent people, he slaughtered the board, he's fucked up the timeline, all for his _family_ not for the greater good And Allison killed Harlan because she lost Claire

4:25 Love the laugh, Aaron 😂 😂😂😂😂

I think that one of the telltales for the change in Hargreeve's behavior with the Sparrows as opposed to how he was with the Umbrellas is right there in the name.. If it was all due to Ben dying, why would he not have named the new group of kids he found "The Umbrella Acadamy" as well? - After all, it wasn't (specifically) that he wanted to _not_ get the same kids - they literally were never born to begin with... Aside from that - they call the robot "Grace" instead of "mom", as the umbrellas did, suggesting that the whole _way_ they grew up was different, way before Ben's Jennifer incident. My theory is that Hargreeves very much remembered the conversation he had with the Umbrella members in the 60s, and was so horrified by the outcome of his "first try" he decided to change things up - but seeing as he didn't know which babies would grow up to be the kids ho met (since they didn't know who their birth mothers were to tell him, even if he was willing to give them more than 5 minutes of his times) all he could change was the environment they grew up - which is why the robot is now "grace", not "mother", Pogo eventually left - because he didn't agree with the harsh way the kids were treated and Ben is a nervous wreck of insecurities - as oppose to the sweet shy guy he was in S1-S2

I think it kinda makes sense that they dont make sense. Theyre all worn down and broken kids, with stunted growths, who’ve seen the world end 2(?) times now and billions upon billions of people have died in their lifetimes So i dont really expect their actions to be comprehensive or have much morality behind them At the same time, victor has shown time and time again that theyre willing to sacrifice the entire world for 1 person. He literally did it last season with missy. I dont like allison nor do i condone what she’s done but yea i can see how she’d be mad at victor after everything that’s happened to her. Its not like victor is free of blame

For some reason I never really thought about the perspective of either everyone dies or the whole world is fixed so only trying to stop it matters which makes more sense for character decisions

someone explain why the father and klaus have no destruction where ever they are but everywhere else the buildings are on fire and everyone's dead so who was running over Klaus just doesn't make sense to me seems like a bit of a slip up on the shows continuity

Man Allison makes me so mad this season lol, wish the family would do something about her

43:00 I think the point in the comparison between Alisson killing Harlen and Vanya killing Leonard Peabody was that while both were hurt at the time - Vanya was not entirely in control of her powers at the time (even if we set aside the fact that he manipulated her, betraying her in the most horrible way considering he was basically the first person who, she thought, actually believed - only to turn out to be someone who was just trying to use her). Still, I think Victor, as he is now, would not have had such control issues over his powers as Alisson had when she decided to murder in cold blood someone who _unintentionally_ caused her grief.

I hate Allison so much this season.

My favorite Ep of the season besides the first

Klaus training with Reginald and getting continuously hit by those cars/buses had me laughing so hard 😂 This episode was great! Allison is such a bitch this season. I could barely stand to watch her in scenes by the end of it. They really assassinated her character for whatever reason. That was my least favorite part of the season, which is sad, cause I think they could’ve done something really interesting with her storyline, without making her such a bad person. I was so happy when Victor slapped her.

@ 4:24 have the blindwave crew watched misfits UK? thats some of robert sheehan's greatest work imo xD

100% in lock step with Eric on the Alison front and the no one seeming to care about the world ending part. It was part of the reason I was not a big fan at all of this season. If I wasn't a completionist when it comes to shows, I seriously would have considered giving up on the season/show. It finishes well, albeit confusing, so it will be interesting to see how they finish things up in season 4.

Allison full on villian by the end of this season forsure. Just completely consumed by her grief and guilt. The actress honestly does a great job because you really hate her by the end

Alison tried to do the right thing for about two and a half seasons and it got her nothing in the end, so I can see why she might think being a good person is meaningless. Everything kept getting worse so what’s the point? What did they even save? Harlan most likely wouldn’t have survived anyway. Don’t get me wrong, she is being horrible but I can see how she became indifferent. Now let’s talk about the lack of care from Lila; she brought a boy into a future time line where he was killed at a young age when he could’ve lived more of his life had she not played her little game.

10:40 “A local KZfaqr was arrested today after learning the wrong lesson from an Umbrella Academy episode today.”

Did they not show the reaction to the two speeches? Five & Victor and Ben & Victor

From Alison's point of view (not saying she's right, only offering a different perspective), Victor has had a hand in Alison losing people close to her 3 times now *first was Clair and her husband when Victor blew up the moon *2 was thanks to Victor in both FBI building and the barn, Alison lost Ray *now she finds out Harden killed (not murdered cause i recognize Harden didn't intend to kill but he still did the deed) her mother and also that Victor knew and wasn't going to say anything Each time it happens, her other brothers start making excuses for Victor and tell Alison not to be mad cause it's not Victor's fault. She isn't allowed to express her grief and he gets off Scott free, that's how Alison feels and this episode it finally hit a boiling point. Again, wither or not any of it was intended is irrelevant. Alison blames Victor forher loses with good reason to. I get all the stuff on Victor's side, drugs and Alison rumoring him to forget he had powers. This is only a look into Alison's side of things

You're not wrong. Allison's development feels... Cartoonish and forced? I can see how we could get this version of Allison, it just seems like her growth through season 1 and 2, even a little 3, has all been tossed aside? Idk. I couldn't wait till she was off screen. I just can't track with the character. Every decision up until then, I could at least understand. Like locking up Viktor in season 1, the family finds out Viktor is going to end the world, so they lock him up until they can figure something out. Then they end the world trying to stop the end of the world. Classic tale of trying to avoid a future just to end up on it's doorstep. We can try and see what we were supposed to see, but I don't see that helping the watch through. Pretty much annoyed with her through the end. And not because of a, "what a well written bad guy", feeling.

i was keeping up with your reactions for season 3 until episode 6, i really couldn't stand the scene between allison and viktor, like, i hated allison so so much that i really wasn't mentally and emotionally prepared to watch your reaction to it lmao. now 3 months later i'm finally watching it because i kind of "got over it emotionally". idk how to really express it lol, but this a great reaction as always

7:40 i liike how diego was like alright allison this is too far :

u know in the comics he has full control of his powers its pretty sick

Before I start also try and put yourself in Allison's shoes and look at things from her perspective I'm not saying I agree with what Allison is doing but it makes sense for her chacater because she's lost everything first her child then they go to Dallas in the 60s which is not a good time for black people to be in finds love then that's also snatched from her because she thought that she would be able to see her daughter again but it turns out she couldn't then she goes off the rails and tries to get the briefcase and that also fails so when she found out that Viktor was keeping the secret of the fact that Harlan killed their mom she killed him because she knew it would hurt Viktor and it might help ease her pain because she feels like she's getting back at the person that has been the cause of her losing everything

It's kinda funny you guys spent so much time discussing Jennifer when the timeline's very different. Like for one, how sure are we even that Jennifer exists and that there even is an incident.

Did anyone else catch Aaron's Back to the Future reference?

Alisson was very unbearable this season 🤧

Allison has to be the villain at this point because I will not accept any redemption story if they try it. She Raped Luther and killed Harlan she’s done for me.

Hii could you please react and review the british tv show Skins it’s amazing love your work thaanks:)

I've never liked Alyson and I don't think I'll ever like her. If Viktor would've killed Claire just 'cause, we never would've heard the end of it.

Is this show good? I was thinking about starting it

I’m done with Allison after this episode.

I'm actually okay with her killing Harlan and Victor did technically cause the end of the world... twice at this point. This isn't t say that I liked Allison's character this season but she is just stating hard facts in this episode.

I still don't understand why mom-bot when all religious extremist... why was she programmed to do that? Did it (fire ball) reprogram her?

Glad you are quite as clueless as I was watching this season.

...Tschüss

I hate when shows make the best female characters act so horribly to the point I can't enjoy them anymore. It happens way too often. Alison is the worst person in the show after this season. Idk how they'll redeem her.

I really hated Allison in this season!

Its the end of the world, who cares about some random guy in the desert, id keep going too!

As the #1 Viktor Hargreeves defender I do have to say Viktor and Klaus have been the only ones I've ever been 100% on board with. I love Five and I kinda waver with Allison right now but I think they are both wrong in blaming Viktor just because of his powers. The world would be fine if no one was fucking with this guy. I have been pro world destruction ever sense Luther and Diego locked Viktor in that sound proof prison. Viktor has shown time and time again that he will do the right thing and not harm people until they provoke him into releasing his powers. This season has vindicated me in my "Viktor should just kill everyone" stance and if this season ends with Viktor killing everyone I will be happy (except for Klaus because he also has done nothing wrong and gets attacked for no reason).

Totally with Allison on this one, well besides "basement" comment. In any other show we salute people that go with "needed to be to done trope", like, let's say that no-neck meat-bag Amos in the Expanse, yet somehow we shy away from "ruthless choices". Harlan was irrelevant and his death was needed to bring famlies to work together, so she killed him, also everyone should be pandering to Victor's problems except anyone else's like Victor ended the worl couple time, he should definetly be watches and put down if need be. Also Allison is right people taking advantage of apologies, perfectly described, dk why you were making faces, that's the closest to reality argument as it gets

Alison was by far the most unlikeable character this season

Allison is right up there with Amber from Invincible in their stupidity and logic for why they do what they do. Never liked Allison's character from the first 2 seasons ... she's so entitled.

But Viktor killing billions is justifiable just because he throws a tantrum? Allison is right, everyone has faced losses but they are supposed to just ignore it because Viktor's is 'more' important? If it wasn't for a character having a meltdown or a villain era, it would be difficult to humanize them. This is what humanizes Allison. People like to hate on Allison because she murdered one guy, as opposed to Viktor who murders literally everyone. In season 2 Viktor was going to use his power, just because he disagreed with Five. Its obvious Viktor has been and always will be the issue. Even when he slit Allison's throat, she was still worried about him and wanted him to be released. People who are mother's know just how protective they are of their children. Viktor is not a mother, so he cannot relate to Allison's pain being 10x worse. I don't agree with what she did to Luther, but other than that Allison's pain is justified.

Vicktor is not an innocent victim. I can create a list of things he has done in seasons 1, 2, and 3. I don't understand this lack of sympathy for Allison when she has been putting up with that crap for years. Being by his side for years and how fast did victor turn on her? slit her throat?

I thought this whole season was pretty bad tbh. A few cool moments but eh..

I have not seen Eric this mad lol
