Synopsis:

Spoiler:
In the third-season premiere, Tara decides to go back to college, which Max doesn't think is a good idea and frets that the stress may conjure up one of her alters. Meanwhile, Kate contemplates her future; pregnant Charmaine still won't commit to Neil; and Marshall and Lionel go in on a video camera for their filmmaking class.


Episode 1 of 12

Season 3 Trailer:

I guess there's still only a few people on this forum watching this show.

Decent start to the series so far.

I hope Kate (Brie Larson) isn't leaving the show. I like the character and she's pretty cute too.

I'm still watching, just not much to say.

The son looks and acts somewhat differently this season. It's the same actor though, right? Must just be normal changes at that age.

Also, have they dropped the main titles/Poylphonic Spree theme song? I know sometimes they skip them in premiere episodes, but I don't remember seeing it in the second episode either.

Yeah, I don't want her going to Japan, I just want her being around looking hot.

It's a good enough show to follow, but Brie was what really pushed me all the way over into wanting watching it by paying for Showtime for 3 months when I already watch too much television. If she goes, I'm not sure I'd keep watching.

I'm watching

I'm liking the addition of Eddie Izzard and I'm really happy with the increase in screen time for Patton Oswalt.

I'm the same as windom. Enjoying the show, but don't have much to say. On that note...

Personally, I think the addition of Eddie Izzard is just godawful, horrible, atrocious. And this is from someone who thought he was genius on The Riches. Bottom line, it's such a freaking TV show cliche. She's taking more than one class, right? And this is just an undergrad course on abnormal psychology, which might have one lecture out of an entire semester in multiple personalities. Then add the fact that it's a class of 50-60. Meets two times a week. And yet all of a sudden the good old Prof is playing such a vital and important role in Tara's life? Wtf? Like I said, it's just a cheap, poorly written and cliched way for a TV show to add a character.

Further, disappointed they went all out about Tara's past at the end of the season, and now it's been put on the back burner for her new best bud forevah, the Prof!

Positives, I agree, Patton Oswalt getting more screen time is a massive plus. Loving the plot and scenes between the sister and Oswalt. Brie is so damned hot it's insane. If she goes, so goes this show for me, she's 99% of the reason I'm sticking with it this year. She is just incredibly beautiful. She can sit on a cake any day of the week. Not enjoying them taking a step back and regressing on the "I'm a gay kid in a small town with all of two other gay kids." crap. Move the plot onward and upward, don't tread water or regress the way it seems they are about to.

And did I mention Brie is insanely attractive? Yowser.

I've been a fan of Tara since day one, but part of the fun for me was always tuning in to watch the alters. They're hardly around anymore. Don't get me wrong, I understand you have to focus on the actual characters but it was fun to tune in and guess which alter was going to come out this week.

I read somewhere that this season we'll be seeing three new alters, which would bring the total to...ten, I think. Wow, that's a lot.

I'm quite interested in having a character who says "rubbish" in response to DID. It's at least interesting to see how outsiders, and even Tara herself, can disprove his thoughts that's it's just people with severe psychological issues looking to hide from things. Of course the show has taken a stance on the issue, complete with sounds effects, etc. to let us know a change is occurring, but I ignore all that and focus on the underlying issues. How does one prove DID?

You can't. Many psychiatrists don't even believe it's a real condition.
