We finally found a character we genuinely liked besides the Baudelaire kids... and then the show immediately took him away. We were NOT ready for that.

And can we talk about Count Olaf? Somehow, he's still the only one whose plans keep working! The Baudelaire children are incredibly smart and always figure things out, but nothing ever seems to go their way. It's so frustrating to watch because they deserve at least one win!

My favorite letter to Beatrice opening.

Yeah you can skip the intros, I wanted you to see the unique ways they tell you the bad is happening but I forgot they spoil uncle Monty in the ep 2 intro.

michael watt

yes gustav is the name of guy who died in last episode

michael watt

note. there are some differences from the book, but the spoiling later parts of the story is actually something its dping ciz it was done in the books. lemony snicket would break off into narrations in the book telling or hinting at events that will happen later in the books. i avree it would be better though to not just 100% adapt the spoiling of later events just to be true to the book. because they change some other things

michael watt

opaf plans and schemes but it many waxs hes pretty unintelligent too. the only reason why anything he does is successful or he evades capture is because literally every character other than the baudelaires and maybe a couple others we will meet later are so ridiculously stupid that he looks like a genius in comparison. this is a weird world where people dont really act like real people act and its kinda a parody on some parts of society

Lemony Snicket explicitly spoils Monty's death in the episode, so skipping the intro wasn't going to help.

I do like your idea of calling the Baudelaires book smart and not street smart. They are still at a point where they want to trust/rely on adults. They likely believe that they should trust/rely on adults because of how their parents were like. They do grow over time, as you'll see in future episodes. In comparison with Wednesday, I would say that from the beginning Wednesday already seemed to want to do everything on her own and didn't trust anyone, adults and other children. In A Series of Unfortunate Events (ASOUE), the children still have faith in some adults/think that they can rely on and trust a few of them. Give them time! The books the show is based on also have a very similar style to them. Lemony Snicket, the narrator, defines a lot of words for readers to learn, and also foreshadows or completely spoils major events of the book. In a way, the main story of the Baudelaires isn't really a mystery, since Lemony is clear from the beginning that it is an unfortunate story throughout and he even repeatedly mentions ahead of time some of the unfortunate things that are going to happen. It goes with his warning in the beginning of the series that you shouldn't read/watch the series as it is going to miserable time for the Baudelaires. He tells you the bad things that are going to happen to get you to "Look Away". If anything, the mystery element actually comes from the things going on in the background. They connect to the Baudelaires, but isn't the focus of their main story, so it hides in the background. Here are a few things to note: The father and mother were in prison and have now ended up in Peru. What are they up to? Count Olaf took a picture of the Baudelaire's parents in the piano. How did they know each other? Jacquelyn (the secretary) and Uncle Monty have both used a spyglass. Jacquelyn and Gustav (Uncle Monty's former assistant) were in communication. How do all of these people know each other and what is their connection to Count Olaf? The mysteries in the background are developed, and that is one of the most interesting parts of the show. It is a very slow build in the first season, but you definitely get more in the second and third season. You'll also get more actors you recognize in future episodes. In this episode Aasif Mandvi, who plays Uncle Monty, was briefly in Spider-Man 2! He played Peter's manager at the pizza place in the beginning of the movie. I do think one thing about movies/shows with villains is being able to enjoy the villains. One of the big reasons I enjoy the Spider-Man and Batman movies/shows is that I enjoy their villains. I enjoy Neil Patrick Harris' performance as Count Olaf, so I definitely think he makes the show more enjoyable.

Oh your right I forgot, I skipped straight to Stefanos intro. "And poor sunny still only has 9 toes lol."

Ricardo Chavez

I understand your girls criticism, but I disagree with dumb kids, they are underage orphans with no money or home they have no options

Julie Alfa

Yeah, we finally get it now! 😂 We were expecting the adults to behave like real people, but now we understand that's the whole point of this world. We're definitely starting to get the show's vibe!

Julie Alfa

Ohhh, I see! Thanks for explaining! 😂 We're finally getting the vibe of the show, so now those little spoilers feel more funny and intentional than confusing. Haha!

Julie Alfa

That's a great point! We definitely want to see more of their character development. We actually felt like they grew a lot even in Part 2 of this episode, so we're excited to see where their journey goes from here! 😊

Julie Alfa

Yeah, that's fair! Our reaction came from pure frustration because we just hated seeing everything they were going through. 😭 We're starting to understand their decisions more now that we're getting the vibe of the show and the characters. It's just so frustrating watching these kids suffer over and over, we just want to see them finally get out of these unfortunate situations! ❤️
