SO. i was on a five hour long flight and naturally i spent that time watching tua s3 because.. holy fucking shit it’s finally here. i wasn’t able to post the whole time so now it’s time for an obnoxiously long not-actually-live liveblog of episodes 1-3!!!!!!!
episode 1:
- there were only 16 women??????? that’s. suspicious.
- oH i love the parallels between this opening sequence with the sparrows and the same sequence with the umbrellas from s1
- fei you are actually so cool holy fuck
- the sparrows are so much more successful than the umbrella lmao rip
- the simple swap between “number X (name)” and “name (aka number X)” is so telling of how the sparrows are humanized where the umbrellas were not
- i KNEW jayme was my favorite for a good reason- she beats up racists!!!!!
- klaus going “ben 🥺” made me s a d
- good god i missed these idiots <3
- the “everyone else can see ben, right?” was. oof. the implications. (also klaus’ little hat tip was so cute)
- luther you’re an absolute sweetie and i love you
- “you slay me chris”
- oh no grace and diego angst,, it’s my weakness
- jayme’s power is so cool omfg
- footloose playing within the first ten minutes of the show…. let’s fucking GO s3 soundtrack!!!
- oh my god this dance battle,, i love big dorky men
- it took me so much longer than it should have to realize that this sequence wasn’t really happening and that it was. y’know. the hallucinogenic poison.
- okay but even thought it’s not real,, they’re DANCING :D !! klaus and ben are dancing together! and diego and grace!!
- ben punching klaus :,(
- why can everyone understand christopher???why is this not being addressed???????
- “this was era appropriate 😡!”
- fifteen minutes in and diego is flying around on top of christopher screaming “who’s your daddy”,,, i love this fucking show
- alphonso is not what i expected but i love him
- fei’s powers are SO FUCKING COOL I CAN’T GET OVER THEM
- alphonso’s powers are also so cool i’m obsessed with all of these bitches
- not cgi dolores i hate it here 😩 and five kissing air 😭😭
- obsessed with reginald only remembering the umbrellas as “scruffy, fatty, and sad girl”

- :0 it IS mr. pennycrumb !!
- “the skinny one is their weak link” …is this leading up to a klaus powers arc?? is that what i sense is happening here???
- marcus is such a powerful leader, luther’s gonna be so insecure
- “you’re disgusting” “but consistent!”
- diego getting all soft when he mentions lila 🥺
- “and dad said i’d never go to summer camp :D” luther’s genuinely my fave this season he’s so cute
- allison and viktor talking about ray and sissy :,/
- viktor’s reaction to being called sister…. i sense a coming out arc coming on 👀
- hmm okay i’m assuming lester is harlan… the overstimulation and nature sounds are very autistic of him
- how many fucking towels does marcus go through
- marcus thinking viktor is/should be number one :,)
- marcus pulling the “you’re not even their number one” card not five minutes later ://
- badass viktor let’s fucking gooooo
- the birds materialize from fei herself,, that’s so cool :0
- ahsktjgjskeks obsessed with diego calling five a boomer
- highkey want to see the thirty year old five that would exist in this timeline
- “kill them” “sleep with them” remains the most iconic dialogue
- LILA LILA LILA LILA LILA LILA LILA—
- “hello lover ;)” i’m. gay.
- oh shit the kid is their SON?!?????? damn,, i did NOT see that coming
- HEY GRACE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!!!!!
- hmmmm……. this giant energy wave can’t be good !
