User blog comment:Corbierr/Season 3 Fun Theory- A different Universe?/@comment-4741712-20140222055729

Another thing I thought of was that in Season 1, the school was founded together by Victor Rodenmaar, Jr., Sarah Frobisher-Smythe, and Rufus Zeno. Sarah claimed it was because all they "wanted was a secret", probably referring to immortality. However, very little of immortality was brought up (plus that tear of gold cliffhanger is driving me insane!)  in Season 3, and Victor said the school's sole purpose of formation was to bring the descendents together to perform the ceremony to wake up Robert Frobisher-Smythe. This poses a problem because  Sarah still thought at the time of her death that Victor, Sr. killed her parents.

And Season 2 has more differences:

1. A whole new set of tunnels were discovered. If they were there, why didn't Senkhara pester Sibuna to explore Robert's Crypt to continue the search for the mask?

2. Speaking of the tunnels; isn't it just a wierd cop-out on the writer's part to have a mirror block the eyes for the very first booby trap. Come on! That was what the amulet was for!! Now you're saying the mirror of our villian can do the same thing?

3. In season 2, Victor Sr.'s ghost explains that the Osirian is supposed to be a protector of the chosen one! Another cop-out writers? Can a LAPD officer protect LA from London? No. So how the heck can an Osirian protect the chosen one when they have to be kept apart?

4. What else? Oh yeah... The stupid tear of gold never came into play!!!

I could go on and on about this! But given what you said plus what I typed above, I can see why you say it's in another universe!!
