What we saw at the sink was a separate occasion to the time he actually stabbed himself; he was conscious of what he was doing this time.

Allison would have either assumed Noah told Helen or that Helen would never go to the cops to own up. Scotty kind of deserved to die from her POV. Either way she's not expecting to have to deal with the consequences now that time has been served.

I'm not convinced about the stabbing entry wound , he should have been doing it with his left hand , anyway the knife was in the sink did the cops really miss that ?, anyway as far as Alison goes she can still be convicted of manslaughter , I don't think helan cares but I'm sure Alison would like not to go to prison

Is Noah suffering from schizophrenia?

Paranoia I would think.

I'm about halfway through the episode. What's going on, why is this a season Finale

I really enjoyed it! I even thought the french professor's storyline was interesting and the actress who plays Whitney really upped her acting game tonight.

I also like the ambiguity at the end - where can this go in Season 4?

Because that's not how tv shows work.

So many things wrong with that episode as a season finale but the time of year it was set is not one of them.

Finale was ****e. Could not care less about Juliette, and she gets more than half the screen time, with zero Cole or Alison?

Think the writers have forgotten what this show is about. I understand keeping it fresh but come on. Also, Noah was a psycho a couple of months ago and now he's totally grand and able to rescue Whitney? :rolleyes:

I was wondering if this was another fantasy of Noah's and start of next season we'll see him shored up in a mental institution...

It can't have been because we got her perspective of it also

I was talking to herself about this last night and I think I've figured out what's wrong with the show or at least why I've hated it so much since mid season 2
In season 1 we had the cops asking questions about something we did not find out about until later , so everyone was telling their story to the detective and putting their memory's forward in season 2 it had a trail that we never really got to see and that's where it falls apart because now there is no end point that the characters are at and telling their story to someone so there is no point to the different perspective
Also there are some bits where the characters remember stuff in completely different ways , I honestly can't remember an example but things that were minor were nice touches like different clothes , who initiated what but this season has seen some things be too different that their story's can't match up
It should have been put down at the end of season 3 , there is nothing connecting Noah with allison anymore so what's the point ?
It's like it's 2 separate shows and how many episodes is it since we saw allison or cole ? 4 I think , bit silly to spend so much time away from them
Anyway that's my opinion

Unearthly

The finale was a mess. It was like as if they originally planned for 12 episodes but had to cut 2 so instead they just time jumped and now Noah is back to normal etc. Doesnt feel warranted.

And then focusing on Juliette. Poor choice.

I think Showtime might be doing a Dexter with it

I'm pretending I didn't see Juliette's perspective as I can't believe they introduced it! And in a season finale no less No interest in her at all

They had her perspective in episode 2or 3 I think when she discovered Noah stabbed

Must've blanked that one out too! Can't say I've been very engrossed this season, didn't really do it for me

Come on now. Lots happened.

Alison brought Cole donuts and coffee
Cole had words with some local Bord Pleanála head
Joni fell off a pony
Cake!
Something about custody
Oscar became an adult
Helen stood up to her lunatic parents
Alison cycled a bit
Vick's cactus got knocked over
Noah over-medicated
His first book was translated into French
Paris looked grand altogether

Not a huge fan of this season either. Really enjoyed season 2 esp the finale. Bit of a damp squid ending to season 3. Was Gunter actually terrorising noah in prison or was the whole thing in his head? I'm assuming some of it was true since he had the dodgy shoulder and Helen commented on his bruises.

Don't forget Furball and his oh so arty fanny pics.

Dr Crayfish

It was an awful season overall, a shame because I really enjoyed the first two. I'm glad I watched season 3 just because of Furkat though. Can we please get a Furkat spin off???

Armchair Andy

So the Paris episode was the last in the season? If it was it was a letdown.

The Black Oil

I too thought it was pretty poor for a finale.

Foggy Jew

And, as in all bad TV shows & movies set in Paris, the Eiffel Tower was visible from the hotel bedroom window. That disappointed me far more than it should have.

fin12

It was very strange the last couple of episodes I thought I had missed out on something because they was no continuation to them, the last one started with Noah and the professor being properly together the last time I saw him pushing her away it's just weird.

Decent season...garbage finale. Really soured my like for the show.

I was actually wondering if I skipped an episode when I saw Noah was in Paris. Didn't realise it was a season finale either as it was pretty dull. Noah is the only interesting thing about this show and I'm not really sure what the other 3 characters can offer to the show for the next season. I also want to see more of Furkat, he was the best thing about the last episode.
