User blog comment:SibunaSeason34/House of Anubis Blog: Season 3 - Which part was better?/@comment-4816103-20140805175202

The reason I think I enjoyed the first 'part' so much is because during it, everyone seemed so important to the story. Patricia and Alfie, who seemed a bit useless to Sibuna during the second season (I mean, you guys know I love those guys, but Nina, Fabian and Amber did a majority of the work. Patricia only got blinded and tricked Eddie into helping, while Alfie just figured out one or two clues. Both were just more useful in the first and third seasons) seemed much more needed this time around, with Patricia helping Fabian at the beginning and Alfie risking even his breakfast to save Amber, then both being descendants. Joy was in a very good position even after she left Sibuna. Jara had it's drama, but seemed relatively stable and reedeemable. And so on. If you've read any other blogs of mine, you know that I love when each character seems important to the story. Now, over all, season 3 didn't do it as well as season 1 did. (Just another reason why nothing tops season one.... I should make that a blog). However, they still made it seem like each character was at their high point in the beginning...

...This of course didn't stick in the second part. Little things we were promised- like Palfie being important in Sibuna and Jeroy rejoining Sibuna- failed to happen, (at least with the former, to the degree we were thinking). Jara had unravelled and, suddenly, was completely sunk after TWO SEASONS of build up. Frobisher was awakened now, and was a bit too over-the-top for my tastes. It soon became obvious that Fabian, Eddie and KT were the centers of the mystery and Palfie were once again just kind of... there... until they became sinners.

I did love the sinners. I think everyone here knows that I found them fascinating. But did I like their plot? Umm...no. I found the characters themselves to be great no matter how evil they were, but in the end they were utterly useless to the story and only served to make KT and Eddie the heroes and nobody else. Not cool writers...

And you know why I think it happened that way? THE PLOT. If you've read any of my past blogs, you know what I mean- that the characters were used as tools to further the plot, and not the other way around, making them start off in their best positions ever and slowly ruin that aspect...

Now, I mean, I did enjoy all of this season. Despite the flaws, I didn't hate it. But the second half, while it had great ideas, unique situations and okay buildup, just failed to deliver.

So, I agree that the first part was better overall, as you can see ~
