General pacing:

• Its the biggest pet peeve I had. There was a lot of trimming that could have happened. The prime example was of that long scene of Germain running through the infinite corridor. I admit it was trippy and visually nice, but I get it already that its a very vast open space and it opens to a lot of worlds beyond this one. I'm not saying to delete that scene. Just trim it down a bit. Carmilla's plan being dragged out is another but I'll get to that later.

Isaac's plot:

• I actually like the direction his arc is going. Some of the friendly people he encounters are giving him lessons in the values of humanity rather than all the bad. It did get a little too repetitive with the guards being rude and Isaac killing them all (that happened about more than 2 times). I would like to see him become more wiser on his views of humanity by the time he is ready to fight Carmilla's forces. Him speaking with the fly eyes creature was very interesting.
• Seeing Isaac gradually come to the lower hand at his final fight is what was epic. He had his unstoppable army, only to be gradually diminished until he was on his own against the magician. I thought that he was done for when the halo was on his forehead but nope.

Alucard's plot:

• For the twins, it would have been satisfying if they had a much better reason for their betrayal. The whole "You never showed us magic" reason felt low and pathetic. Yes the betrayal was anticipated due to their disturbing past with the Geisha vampire making them messed up. However I remember multiple people said that it would have been better if they ended up being her follower and want to avenge her. This would make more sense since they said they constantly spent time with her as she sadistically toyed with her prey. I see that the story wants Alucard to become a bit more like his father, but maybe the reasoning of the betrayal could have been better.

Belmont/Sypha plot:

• The twist on the judge was a nice touch. However all I was thinking was "Guys, just storm the church already, its no secret that they are up to no good." Especially the fact that the duo already saw red flags, they could have asked the judge to just go clear the church. A lot could have been prevented. Once you see the people carve those symbols on the doors, it's no longer the time to stall, they should take action. I don't think Trevor is the type of guy who would refuse to storm that church anytime sooner. Sypha knowing that something is terrible about that town would want to do that as well. The judge should have immediately told them to go do that.

Hector/Lenore/Carmilla plot:

• The weakest of them all in my opinion. Season two I had my hopes of Hector escaping. It was fairly predictable that Lenore would do something like give Hector that slave ring. Hector did not have many options because he was up against vampires with superior strength and the security was overly tight. That was the reason why that plot felt a bit forced. I already know he can't escape so he's gonna get himself in a deeper pit anyway. Season three felt like a repeat of season two in terms of Hector's plot. He ends up in the same situation again but worse and no changes for the good.
• If Hector was supposed to end up in that situation anyway, I would have liked the story to be told in Lenore's perspective. She says that nobody respects her because her role is under appreciated, but I would rather be shown that than be told. Maybe seeing something like Carmilla abuse her could help because I would at least root for Lenore.
• For Carmilla's plan being discussed, that shouldnt have been stretched out for the whole season. I would rather see the plan be set in motion but the trick on Hector also stretched too long. We're introduced to the sisters and some new higher vampires but they don't do anything except criticize Carmilla for her ambitious plan. Yes they should call out on her but they needed to at least do more than that. Now that I'm talking about it, Carmilla seems to become just as mad as Dracula who had little plan for his goal. It felt like one long tease and set up for the next season but not in a good way. At least season 2 had a more riveting villain which was Dracula, and the conflicts inside the castle were more exciting.

Giving villains an arc seems to be tricky. Something like the Dark Crystal netflix series did this better, because not only you explored what the villains (skeksis) were like but you also followed the villains (chamberlain and scientist) who suffered a lot by their own people, pushed on their own, and earned their victories that they deserved. That's just as riveting as a heroic quest. I'm not seeing that with many of the villains here.

What do you guys think? Agree/disagree?
