Flicks And The City I’m re watching the series and My was the last episode we’re Olaf kiss kit to save her nut then died. I also loved the parts where Violet and Kauls met Fiona and Quigley. 👍

[@jackdonohue7893]

I enjoyed all the flashback parts (opera scenes) and almost every scene in The Penultimate Peril.

[@sunnygirl523]

Olaf interacting with violet more in the Netflix series than in the books and the movie 😁😁😁

[@jbcatz5]

A great theme of the season was everything Olaf valued being stripped away. He loses his henchpeople in The Slippery Slope, his authority in The Grim Grotto, he breaks up with Esme in The Penultimate Peril and by The End everyone sees him for who he is as his bravado and disguises are washed away. He finally has the Baudelaires, but they are useless to him because they’re stranded from civilisation. His manipulations fail because there’s nothing he can work with on the islanders, who don’t have any of the selfishness and desire Olaf latches on to. Over the seven episodes Count Olaf was deconstructed until he was the man he was before the schism, a man who recited poetry and was in love with Kit, the man he was when he died.

I was heart broken when Quigley was only fully in the slippery slope like we got 3books / 6 episodes worth of the others why not Quigley

[@g.b569]

That's true and I believe that's why there were all those changes of who was in the hotel and everything.

[@boiwifeyasmr4U]

I almost agree. I didn't like the Ishmael change at all and the very obscure complete retcon from another Lemony Book that goes into strange explanations about VFD that don't align with the show.

[@Francesca_0]

I don't like how they changed the contents of the sugar bowl, which were mentioned in the LS Unauthorized Bio. Seems like what they chose was redundant, considering there already was a well-planned out cure

I evaded crying several times in the finale but when I saw Isadora's face in Chapter Fourteen I lost it. I love the closure that we got on the sugar bowl, Olaf, the Quagmires, the Widdershins, the hench people and Beatrice Snicket. What makes it even better is that Daniel Handler somewhat worked with the writers so the closure isn't going against his will.

That's another change. There are only vague hints about what happened in the book, whereas the show has a full flashback scene.

[@annaliz1981]

I loved that we got to see the Opera scene!

[@calebsandorf]

The opera scene was something I didn’t really like, because the scene was fine but it made more sense in the books where it made it sound like Beatrice intentionally killed both of Olaf’s parents with poison darts, but in the show it was an accident and it was only Olaf’s dad, which made the references to 2 poison darts make no sense. Also it being an accident made it sound like not as big a deal is it is in the books when you realize that VFD has done some terrible things. But I’m not that mad about it because the changes were overseen by Daniel Handler so any changes were intended by him.

[@ameliadyra786]

There are a lot of differences between the books and the show

[@PokemonkaDub]

My favourte moment in the show must be Olafs death. Not that I was glad he died, no... But it was such a moving scene on so many different and weird levels...

[@shaugherty7953]

It was really well done in my opinion, Olaf got a bit of development, we see real explanation for Olaf and Kits feelings for each other, and it’s melancholy, like the entire series was meant to be.

[@Armand__]

i kinda wish we could get a "Quamires Side Story", "Beatrice Snicket Side Story", and more learn more about VFD and what the Baudelaires' parents did because Olaf kept on saying they're not who they thought they were. I'm not complaining, Im just throwing out ideas.

[@wetsleev3s803]

I lowkey feel like Carmelita Spats' parents are in V.F.D. If you're wondering how I came to this point, it's because almost every child that we know a little more about in the show has their parents in V.F.D, so why not Carmelita's?

[@AkaChibiness]

I think if you want to get into this series, you should read the original books AND watch the Netflix series. They're both fantastic, but the netflix series helps to wrap up loose ends, answer questions that the book was vague about, and give us nice closure to multiple characters that they honestly deserve to have. But the book has its own charm for leaving a lot of things ambiguous and uncertain, just like how life is

[@laycebug3260]

It gave me flashbacks to the Great Cowboy War of ‘04. I had my girlfriend with me, we had almost defeated the enemy cowfolk. My trusty companion, Markus the horse, led us off towards the village. The sun was setting slowly beyond the horizon, my girlfriend was practicing her lasso skills. We were sharing a romantic moment, I won’t be afraid to admit. If only I could’ve seen what was about to happen. By the time we reached the village, everyone was gone. We went to the saloon, leaving Markus outside. However, instead of seeing our associate cowfolk, we were greeted with our enemies. I made to take out my gun, but before I could Jessica Wildesto lassoed my girlfriend and I to some wood chairs. They interrogated us- asking all about our plans. My girlfriend refused to reveal our plans.. so she was shot. Even though she was the toughest cowgirl I knew, she couldn’t withstand a bullet to her head. Admitting to defeat, I gave away our plans in order to save my own life. They spared me, but I was so ashamed walking outside of that saloon. “Yippykayay!”, they simultaneously yelled to me. I rode off to the city, letting go of my cowboy side. By 2007 I had completely changed myself, and I had already gotten myself a city girlfriend. On the news I saw that the war was over. The bad guys had won. I blame myself for this and I don’t think I’ll ever stop.

I genuinely feel like the Netflix series is the best version of the story.

[@jadiandangie381]

I love how the show gave you more info about all the questionable things in the books. Don't come and say "but it's not true!" Because technically it us because Daniel Handler, the original writer of the books, helped write the Netflix series.

[@kennell2550]

It is two different canons. This is obvious considering there are characters who are alive in the show and dead in the books. It's like GOT. Following the same story line but not everything is the same and acting like they are the same is dumb.

Ikr! Watching the girl makes me want to slap “Carmelita” but at the same time think, her actress is very talented. Her role in this series is intentionally over the top, so I’m very curious to see how she would act in other types of films.

[@TheWorldisQuietHere3]

There are so many FANTASTIC actors in the series. As a matter of fact, only three people in the entire series disappointed: Aunt Josephine (something about her acting was just over-the-top and annoying) and Violet and Klaus (in every scene they are trying WAY to hard to be melodramatic. They are the only reason I won't buy this series on DVD when it comes out).

[@xiajools6230]

Usually they won’t have someone casted so early in a tv series seeing as you only really see the parents in season 3, there would be no way to secure their role in season 1 (as they were not sure if they would get renewed for 2 more seasons) so they just casted people who would resemble their image for the photograph :) x

[@xiajools6230]

We should definitely get some more scenes during the time that V.F.D. was created. Like so it’s more clear what happened at the opera, some more facts on the sugar bowl. And when Violet, Klaus and Sunny weren’t born yet. Maybe some more of The Snickets, and Beatrice, when everybody was together and still one noble organisation, but then it leads to the sugar bowl being stolen and how it split up into schisms. I feel like that would be more interesting to watch and so you could get some more background and a clearer idea of what VFD used to be.

Here’s the VFD motto if you don’t know the full thing! “When we grab you by the ankles, where our mark is to be made, You’ll soon be doing noble work, Although you won’t be paid. When we drive you away in secret, you’ll be a voulenteer, so don’t scream when we tell you: The world is quiet here.”

[@SuperJhon360]

N9 one talks about all the secret messages in the Beatrice letters book I've found one message that I believe is about Olaf and how Beatrice was trying to recruit him but lemony was unsure if they could trust him. Then I went online to see if anyone else found any messages and I only found one other person who had found a message in one of the other letters using a famous roman Cypher he didn't tell what he found because he wanted fresh eyes looking for the codes because he be level that any of the letters could contain multiple messages overlapping one another so if he showed everyone what was there that's all they would see. But why hasn't anyone but me and this one guy been talking about the secret messages. And after all this time why hasn't anyone solved them.

[@jshanksffemtp]

Things the TV series did better this season -Making the Snow Scouts wealthy children turned into orphans. It shows how Olaf's side of the schism is willing to go to great lengths to hurt innocent people -Having Quigley show up in Grim Grotto, rather than just sending a telegraph. It not only gives such a huge character a role in more than one book, but it shows the Baudelaires having to leave Quigley like they did with his siblings in Ersatz Elevator -Hooky showing Sunny sympathy. While it doesn't make sense at first glance, you can see it as a way of him starting over with Fiona. -Having Babs in the Penultimate Peril -Excluding the ambiguity of the Quagmires, Hector, Fiona, Fernald, Phil and Captain Widdershins. It's nice that not everyone's fate is unknown. -Fully explaining the stealing of the Sugar Bowl and how V.F.D. orphaned Olaf. Things they didn't -Introducing O.C.'s like Larry and Jacqueline and not using them properly. Larry's death wasn't relevant outside of his one scene, and Jacqueline wasn't even present -Making Jerome out to be stupid. In the books he shows remorse and arrives with Justice Strauss. -Under-utilizing Hugo, Kevin and Colette. It was nice that they didn't stick with Olaf, but they could've shown up at the hotel -Not having Sir, Charles, Hal, Mr. Remora, Mrs. Bass (although I did like her analogy with Mr. Poe) in the hotel -Leaving out the Denouement brothers' arc of being orphans.

If you want more vfd, read the "All the wrong questions" book series. It's about Lemony as a kid, and is really pog

[@ali_m_]

You have to agree with me the series has a very catchy theme song.

[@esmenavarrog]

The ending was so emotional

[@aradiagonzalez7703]

Don't forget about the show completely cutting Geraldine Julienne, the Daily Punctilio reporter

[@mikec4931]

Mrs. Poe took that role over, so that character wasn't really lost. At least it gave her more to do on the show.

[@Luka1180]

@@mikec4931 I don't mind cutting sometimes, but combining characters I HATE.

[@svefish9028]

I love this entire thing! I’m so mad when people who have only seen the series and think they know everything.

[@Renee-mc7xl]

I think the one mayor difference between the Netflix series and the books is how dark it is. In the book it was always dark with Count Olaf being a little more menacing and as well as his troupe. In the Netflix series they are seem to be more silly which make you wonder how they were able to do anything. Another thing is just the mystery. In The End we were left to wonder if The Quagmires, Fiona, Fernald, Justice Strauss, Jerome, and Hector were to survive

[@dylantd9189]

Only Hector, Jerome and Justice Strauss are a mystery. The Quagmires and Fiona & Fernald survive

[@Renee-mc7xl]

Dylan Thomas Maybe Fiona and Fernald survives but the quagmires were seen to be shot down by the crows and Quigley was seen to Die in the great unknown

Why did Kit know the Carnival Freaks names and stop to light a fire for them on the Mountain?

[@mattattack10100]

Because she was the previous Madame lulu before Olivia took over. It was mentioned in the carnival episodes

[@dieynabatalla7517]

Delia Christy because she was the previous madame lulu

[@rwdypiper3622]

She was Madame Lulu for VFD

[@wilhelmbruserud4942]

Delia Christy She was madame Lulu

[@yeritzavega6377]

She was madame lulu before Olivia came. They hint to it in season 3 when the freaks say " Which Madam Lulu, the one that got eaten by lions (Olivia) or the one that drove away in a taxi (kit Snicket, since she drove her brother's taxi)

[@scarygelatin506]

I still LOVE the 2004 film, and I always will. But my god, this is a masterpiece. I couldn’t get used to it at first and I didn’t give it a chance, and I always wrote it off as “well it’s corny the movie is better.” But now that I’ve given it a chance, I prefer the show, it represents the books so faithfully and so well

[@BeatrizSantos-jj3zp]

I love that the TV show gives us way more backstory/insight into VFD, and all their personal lives

[@NY-or5hh]

I love this show but the only thing i hate about it is that it ended

[@jackdonohue7893]

Why!?!?!

[@TCO_404]

I think the ambiguous ending makes it even more powerful though. I've been continuously thinking about everything that happened since I saw the final scene four days ago. It leaves a lot to the imagination and forces you to imagine what you think happened.

[@lwaves]

@@TCO_404 They didn't hate the ending, they hate that it ended, i.e. they wanted it to go on for longer so they could see more. At least, that's how I read their comment.

[@stefantudose7880]

That's how the story goes.....

[@emmasalmon185]

The scene in which sunny says she’ll stay to spy on Olaf and then Violet says how will sunny escape and then Sunny ties up her hair and says she’ll invent something is probably my favourite moment in the whole show cause she sees her older siblings getting out of trouble and she knows she can too so she does what her older sister always does and ties up her hair. That is the best scene and always makes me cry

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

The only change I didn't like was revealing whats in the Sugar Bowl. For such a fascinating Mistery, they should've kept it. The others like the Quagmire and the Baudelaires are a nice happy ending, but the Sugar Bowl should've been kept, as said by Snicket, "in the dark".

[@aegistro]

The show was Very Fantastically Done, wish they could've added more like a special part showing Violet, Klaus, and Sunny grown up doing something as to where they ended up and what happened to VFD and stuff

[@jeremygrimmer5890]

I'm going to miss this show, it was a very fun drama to watch, I think the actors did a vocally fantastic delivery of their lines. I am glad the vague final days from the book were vamped for determined endings for all of the characters.

[@dmitri9042]

My favorite characters are Kit, Lemony, Jacques, Violet, Klaus, Sunny, Dewey, and Jerome.

[@mirakryln9786]

i didnt know that there was a book called beatrice letters ty im buying it rn

[@kaisipan5648]

I read all the books long before netflix started their series and I would like to say that I liked both, but I was a little mad about some of the things Netflix took out. I actually prefer the sense of mystery that is so prevalent in the books to having everything spelled out for you in the series. Lemony Snicket has a very unique way of writing that kinda forces you to look deeper into the text to try and find out what he's saying. In the book we don't know what Count Olaf is planning until the Baudelaires do. But in the show, we can see exactly what is happening as it's happening, because they show Olaf's plan through the whole thing. Also there are things that can only be captured in writing. Like in one of the books, Lemony writes a secret letter to Kit in the book that the reader is not supposed to see. Also, I really like the ending in the books because in the series, there are 13 books. 13 is known for being unlucky, but at the end of book 13, The End, there's a 14th book. I like to think that the chain of unfortunate events is finally broken, and I imagine that everything worked out fine. Also to those of you who don't know, The Bombinating Beast is most likely the Great Unknown, who is a creature from the Clusterous Forest in Stain'd by the Sea and is quite dangerous. Other things that they changed were that the trial in the penultimate peril didn't go like that at all. The Baudelaires wanted to tell their story and bring count olaf to justice, but they figured out something was suspicious. In the book everybody was blindfolded and Justice Strauss couldn't talk because of Olaf's associates, and the Baudelaires realized Justice wasn't talking so they took off their blinfolds. They never got to have their trial. Next thing they changed was that the Quagmire parent side plot wasn't at all included in the books. In the first episodes they have the Quagmire's parents getting captured and going to peru and all sorts of things, but the books doesn't include that at all. Lastly, (this one is stupid I know) Esme didn't have her fire dress on in the slippery slope. That dress had a mystery around it, as the book said that somebody else had worn that dress long ago, and that the dress had history. Completely removing it made me a little bit sad.

[@cadee_borg]

I wish the Baudelaires and the quagmires reunited because violet had a thing with both Duncan and Quigley and I wanted to see who she ends up with

[@kingphan358]

ikr i was kinda like "but she liked duncan?" and i was hoping she'd be with him

[@niamhrtditchfield2348]

In the books its implied she ends up with Quigley but nothing is ever confimed

[@Vaehlo]

I'll miss this version. I loved it though.

[@kaingates]

I think the changes made sense. There's a lot of unanswred questions in the books which Snicket fixed later down the line but would only be really messy if made into a TV series.

[@jonnybuijze1770]

*Sunny looked adorable in the third season with her hair down*

[@Chun2_1222]

My favorite change is about Madame Lulu. She got a huge character development in the show and unlike in the book, she never betrayed the Baudelaires.

[@diamondlightningg]

Very fine deductions.

[@deletedundinactive]

I like the Netflix Ending. It highlights that the series has ended, as the series of unfortunate events have stopped, giving a happy ending.

[@ethelb6237]

When you defined fantastic, and only used words that involved “VFD”, I got really happy

[@Cbear11205]

Honestly coming into this series without reading the books, the reveal of what VFD is, the sugar bowl plot, and the ending were kinda underwhelming...

[@SkythontheBrony]

@@alexanderduran8982 I think Lemony made it seem really bad because he didn't know the ending yet, and after his own past was inclined to assume the worst. Not until he meets young Beatrice at the very end where she tells him what happened.

The moment the taxi driver said 'call me ish' in the ww episode i was dying to know if he was the ish from the island as well. I guess they just put it out there as an easter egg

Season 3 was the best season I had ever watched in my career of Netflix, especially the ending, well done to the creators of this show and well done lemony

[@knoledge_186]

I wish netflix would adopt the prequel of "A series of Unfortunate Event" the "All the wrong question series" which is really good and it would explain how Olaf and Beatrice are both actors and associate when they were young and how Lemony was trained by S. Theodora who also trained Bertrand Baudelaire. gooooodness how I love those books, and all the dramatic ironies. I wish it was the bombinating beast that was inside the sugar bowl, because it would make more sense, a lot of people and associates had tried to protect it and it would fit perfectly inside a sugar bowl.

[@christinab9590]

Every time Kit looked back at the kids while driving I thought she was going to have an accident!!

[@TheBeccaz123]

I love the books and this series so much. When books get recreated as movies we all have that fear that the story will be watered down and changed but I think the show did a fantastic job at not only staying true to the books but giving us details the books never gave us that still fit in and work with the story. It was a fantastic series and I will miss it.

[@Twedookpop]

Yes!!! I love this! Thank you!

It’s weird how esme never cared that lemony was OBSESSED with Beatrice
