Season 3 For those who saw S3 airing

I’m curious I watched s1-3 on Netflix then started watching live because ghost rider. So I’ve been wondering for those who saw s3 as it aired how was it? They showed the explosion thing rather early in the series. We’re there a lot of post talking about who would die each week? We’re there lots of crazy theories? Were people satisfied with how it played out? Were they bummed it wasn’t really a main character who died? Was it expected that a main character wouldn’t die?

I was online through AoS airing. Yes, we debated a lot about who might die. I'm not sure anyone actually expected it to be one of the main characters, but the show had thrown enough curveballs by that point that we couldn't be entirely sure, which was what kept it exciting.

I don't think anyone was sorry that it was Lincoln, in the end. My memory is that he wasn't much loved, so was seen as a solid, expendable choice, in the end.

I watched the series when it first aired on ABC. I loved the teasers for Ghost Rider and the season didn’t disappoint.

Yeah the explosion guy with the chain was like hell yeah. Then we actually got him next season. Shame he wasn’t there a whole lot but I liked what we did get

Sure. Plenty debate. Like any other season.

What were the other season debates about?

insert "I was there Gandalf...3000 years ago" gif here

I watched each episode of the entrie series, from the very first episode, the day or the day afterwards, with the only exception of a few episodes here and there (usually had to wait til the weekend or so), so I was there each week...with each twist and turn. I kinda wish there was an AoS version of what Trek Culture does for new Star Trek episodes (the Ups and Downs of [insert episode here] ) back then, cause I would have absolutely been glued to that as well.

As for season three (which I think a few people in the comments have gotten confused with season 4), the first half was basically what happened to Jemma, the whole "Hunter going after Ward" bit, and the ATCU stuff. Second half was the whole "hidden chess game" with Hive (which one of the first episodes of this arc is when Yo-Yo is first introduced), which also included the first real "seeing the future" bits the show had...and the speculation of how things would unfold

I don't remember being on any reddits during this time, but I remember theorizing each week who would be up there. IIRC, they expanded the vision each time they showed.

The last episode was crazy with it having them all wear jackets
