Okay then. (All of these are so fantastic!) How about the escaping-Hotel-Denoument-scene? Gotta love the medley of everyone's leitmotifs. …you… er, you did an amazing job and all, but you do realize this one was one of the few tracks where we already had the clean official version from Jim Dooley's website, right?

RIGHT, that's it. Dooley uploaded it here under the title Village Escape. (By the way, while we're discussing Season 3 music, I still wanna know what the score from the trailer was…)

After watching the show; I have come to the conclusion that The Man with a Beard and No Hair and The Woman with Hair but no Beard are siblings. The series; both book and TV revolves around siblings primarily; the Baudelaires, Snickets, Quagmires, Anwistles, Denoument's, White Faced Woman etc. Due to their similarities; with the pale skin town and their hair; plus that they show no 'love affection'; I think they are brother and sister who decided to work in the judiciary and the Fire Fighting side of the schism. This makes sense, although it has slightly alarming implications. After all, siblings in the ASoUE world tend to come in sets of three...

I certainly believe it for the show. It is however unlikely for the books, as I've argued elsewhere: Lemony mentions, when he says how he investigated the Sinister Duo's childhoods to try and figure out how they turned out so rotten, "the Man with a Beard but no Hair's childhood home" and "the Woman with Hair but no Beard's second-grade math teacher", as though match teacher and home weren't shared.

Apologies deathtentaclesandpip and imlarryyourwaiter , due to a number of unforeseen circumstances (a series of unfortunate events?) I've not been able to access my computer for the last couple of weeks. Now that I can again, I'll get right on extracting those tracks from the show. And of course, if anyone else has any requests please don't hesitate to let me know.

One thing that's just occurred to me: where is Hector? He's not seen or mentioned throughout the season, not even when Kit says the Quagmires are fighting the eagles.

All in all, I'd say that this is the best season out of the three, but it also has the most flaws. Or maybe that's not fair. I'm not sure it has more flaws than the first two seasons, it's just the ones that are there are higher-impact.
As people have pointed out, it is difficult to reconcile the contents of the sugar bowl with the way characters other than Esme are after it prior to the end of TGG. It falls into this sort of adaptational no-mans land, where they change one thing from the book, but then they don't make other changes that become necessary based on the solution they've decided. It's annoying because there aren't very many of these moments in the adaptation as a whole. I mean, I guess it can be explained by saying most of the sugar bowl's importance lies not in its contents but in the way it can be used as leverage to lure people places. For instance, Kit might only have removed it from the hospital in order to lock it in the Hotel Denouement, meaning that Esme would come there and bring Olaf with him, allowing him to be put on trial. The problem is that Olaf and Esme do not know the location of the Last Safe Place until Fiona tells them. It's possible Kit could have told Fiona to do this, but that implies a level of communication between them I'm not sure we see in TGG (they do send each other dispatches, but they don't seem to be that detailed). Also, in TGG Esme and Olaf seem to have no idea that the sugar bowl will be brought to the hotel, but they know exactly how it will be delivered fairly early on in TPP. Well, I guess this is a problem in the books, too. Maybe Frank/Dewey disguised as Ernest told them in order to get them to stay at the hotel until the trial. I think we also have to assume that Beatrice and Bertrand were unsuccessful in making the apples immunise against the effects of the mycelium, in order to resolve the plot hole of why they didn't make it widespread after they returned from the island. I suppose it could be said that after the schism, VFD was in such a fragmentary state that its members were not effectively able to collaborate to recreate the contents of the sugar bowl. There's also the possibility that certain characters were interested in growing more Medusoid Mycelium. If you do enough mental gymnastics, you can just about get it to work, I think, but one of the main functions of the adaptation should be to streamline inconsistencies from the book so we don't have to do this (as they do successfully for many other plot points).
With all that said, though, the writers must have had a lot of difficult decisions to make when scripting this season - much more than would have been the case when adapting the first nine books IMO. Although the Baudelaire storyline itself isn't that much more complicated, this is where Lemony's backstory, such that it is, comes to a head, and the show cannot really rely on the veiled hints and half-reveals present in the books. These books are also the most philosophical, yet halting the narrative in the way that would be necessary to completely facilitate this would not make for a particularly dynamic TV show. Finally, these books seem to be the most popular among fans, which means adaptational changes are likely to be under the most scrutiny.
There are certain aspects I wish were wrapped up slightly better. I've already talked about some of these, but I wish the Baudelaires' morality was brought to a conclusion a bit more. They cut out Dewey telling them they were 'noble enough', which would have been fine if the children themselves had come to a similar decision in The End, but this doesn't happen.
Still, all things considered, I think they did a really good job tying up the story. It definitely had its problems, but I would say that under the circumstances, it was the best for which I could hope.

As I am about to fall asleep, I would like to comment upon Season 3 as a whole. I took a break spanning several months after watching the first season, then recently watched the second and third back-to-back. If I am to be honest, the entirety of Season 3 felt like a conclusion to me, wrapping up some loose ends, and making some more. Season 1 was like na introduction, whereas Season 2 was a reveal of information, and change of character. Season 3 really did a good job of finalizing everything, which makes me sadder each time I hear it, as it just serves to lower my expectations for more work on this.

Jacqueline being the new Duchess of Winnipeg is a nice fan-friendly way fo getting rid of her, if they must. I loved that because I totally didn't see it coming, and I was glad they incorporated the Duchess of Winnipeg, although Jacqueline's initial isn't R. I honestly think Esme was mainly concerned about the bowl being taken than the contents that were in it. Agreed, she wanted it because it matched her tea set. One slight grievance is that the series nor the show portray Bertrand in any meaningful way. How did he and Beatrice get toghther? I would have loved for them to portray more of that, as well. He was her costar on stage, and I was hoping they would go back to the stage at the opera and show him singing. I loved the opera music. I'm actually wondering how an adaptation of ATWQ spun off from the Netflix series would even work. It would need some serious retooling to make the plot of ATWQ make sense within a paradigm where Lemony was part of the first generation of Volunteers… I don't know if ATWQ has as strong or memorable of a storyline as ASOUE, but I would watch it. I agree with your point, though. I liked that Ishmael was the principla of Prufrock Prep, because I've always wondered who the principal was, and he fits the bill, but I don't like his being the "founder" of V.F.D. Season 3Things I disliked:- Violet's actress (one-note performance, namely whiny during everything) There were times where I agree, she was just too angry sometimes. I always imagined Violet more calm and in control of her emotions. One thing that's just occurred to me: where is Hector? He's not seen or mentioned throughout the season, not even when Kit says the Quagmires are fighting the eagles. He was probably on the self-sustaining hot air mobile home still, but maybe the actor couldn't return to play him? I loved the music this season. I hadn't really noticed much of it the first two seasons I watched, but I watched the last season with my husband, and he pointed out a lot of things to me, like how Count Olaf had a theme. I never noticed that on my own! And I loved those bell sounds at the beginning of the theme song - it always made me smile. And I loved the kid's theme song, and how each episode had its own theme song, too. And I loved the ending. I know it didn't fit the books, or the theme of the entire series, but I love happy endings. The world is depressing enough, there are enough sad stories every day on the news, why not have a surprise happy ending?
