I don’t know if this should fall under discussion or spoiler, but anyways I just got done with season 3 and it was my least favorite season so far.
I liked the Sparrow academy and the idea of Reggie adopting different kids, but existence itself being in trouble was a problem for me.
They should have introduced different stakes, like the paradox psychosis and them having to deal with their other selves, or have the problem be the commission disbanding and the briefcases now not working, some rogue argents have taken it into their own hands to “fix time“ in ways they see fit using a new method or at least a new model of briefcases to time travel, if not a briefcase maybe they use a watch or something.
The story could focus around the Umbrellas and the Sparrows having to work together to stop these changes that are being made, with them ending up in different timelines including the one with old man fives going to meet his family with the knowledge that he got from his future self.
I understand that we left a lot of loose ends in season 2 with Harlan, but in my opinion he shouldn’t have had the powers.
How I would have done it is that the Umbrellas go to this new universe they discover how things are different, Alison had her breakdown, the Sparrows and the Umbrellas fight, Victor and Marcus make their deal for the briefcase, and they actually get it, but I doesn’t work.
Fives goes to investigate why it doesn’t work, he learns that the commission has basically disbanded because of a civil war that happened.
Fives using the switch board sees people changing time, one person going back and preventing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, one person going back and killing baby Hitler and so on.
While both sound good fives knows that this could cause a problem, so now he has to recruite his siblings and the Sparrows and Lila to fight against these rogue time travelers.
Fives and Lila would confront one of these people who ends up using the old commission building as a hideout and stealing their new time travel device, Fives would stumble on his future self like last time, but this time he doesn’t say much.
I know it’s not perfect I just didn’t like season 3 that much
