Okay, I know I'm like.. REALLY late with this but i honestly really haven't given thought about looking into the [AS] boards.. And again this account was made on a whim.. ANYWAYS! Enough excuses...

The ending of the Third season was indeed funny BUT! The ending of the episode kinda left me unsatisfied.

Unlike the two seasons before it which ended in a huge battle of mass violence.. this one ended with the band causing equalibrium between two nations at war.. not the kind of thing You'd expect from Dethklok seeing as they're bringers of death and destruction..

Anyways Was anyone else disappointed with the season ending or was it just me?

[holkimcardie1]

You really should have hunted for the episode discussion thread for this one.  Can't post spoilers on the boards.  And, yes, even at this late a date, there are still spoilers because not everyone has seen it yet.  There are always latecomers to a fandom.

While you haven't posted any blatant spoilers yet, be careful.

Actually, I was rather intrigued by the ending.  Almost every beginning and ending of the seasons have answered questions and posed them.  So Brendon & Co. were teasing us for season 4.  

[RapeTree]

REALLY Sorry about that, I'll make sure to do that next time..

And i can see that, but the ending was somewhat more disappointing than the others.. (And i say disappointing because you never really want the season to end) they felt.. more fulfilling if you would.. then i guess it's painfully obvious like you said that, that was supposed to be the feeling it gave you.. 

I guess the point I'm making is.. this show is amazing and i can't wait for the fourth season...

Then again the episodes spat out for the ending of season three were too few and left me wanting more..

Anyways sorry once again for not finding the right thread to post this in.. quite embarassing.

That ending showed us how influential Dethklok is and how their actions can change the world as we know it for better or worse.

It also shows us just how dependent the world is on Dethklok and how their own stupid actions can cause some serious trouble.

I loved the ending of Season 3.

Spoiler

I loved seeing the Offdensen twists. We got a bit of a clue as to what happened to Offdensen when he "died". Not too much, just enough of a teaser to keep you interested. The cliffhanger was interesting too. What was he doing with Jomfu? Is Jomfu willingly helping him, or is he a pawn? the episode was a whole side of Offdensen we've never seen. Normally he quietly tollerates the boys' shinannigans, simply passing their behavior off as "well I tried". We saw an angrier more aggressive Offdensen.

I thought all of that made this the best episode of the season.

*******************LAST TIME, BUDDY********************

At first, I didn't like the season 3 finale. As the OP stated, it's not the norm for season finales of Dethklok. I expected the storyline to suddenly come back into play like it does for the last few episodes of seasons one and two. Let's not forget that a secret council exists due to Dethklok's mysterious connections with Sumerian prophecies.

It seems like season 3 forgot all of that.

Until they alluded to Offdensen as being somewhat linked to Salacia in the season 3 finale.

I THEORIZE that for season 4, they will reveal to us that the reason why Offdensen's scar goes missing during most of season 3 is that Offdensen got captured and replaced by NONE OTHER THAN SALACIA HIMSELF. That's why Offdensen's scar mysteriously heals from his face (caused by the man in the mask in the season 2 finale) and is never addressed again. I feel like they have Offdensen held captive somewhere and it is Salacia and the council's ultimate plan to control/harness Dethklok's power of destruction to control the world (or so it seems). 

If this theory is true, then all of season 3 will make sense. I always thought season 3 was just a series of random episodes (following the fashion of Family Guy, where every episode is just random mumbo jumbo that is kinda funny when you're stoned). But watching it again with this theory in mind, it makes a LOT of the episodes make sense. For instance, the episode in which Offdensen isn't spending enough time with Dethklok, so they get all rebellious and run off. Offdensen spends the whole episode trying to find them and at the end, awkwardly apologizes for not "pal-ling around" enough with them. 

Normally, Offdensen is un-phased by their pouts and they ususally have a good balance of spending time together. However, Offdensen just does NOT connect with Dethklok as well as he normally does in season 3, and I believe that's because SALACIA TOOK OVER OFFDENSEN'S BODY!

How **QWOP** would that be if that's where the story is actually headed? I hope Brendan Small brings the storyline back because if this show goes the route of Family Guy where it just becomes random nonsense, then my dreams will be crushed.

Keep it metal.

All well and good, but

Spoiler

you forget how nervous Selatcia was in the season 3 finale, asking Vator Orlaag if he though Offdensen knew about him simply because he lived.  Would not have been that way if he had been kidnapped and NOTHING during the season alluded to Charles being kidnapped.

Besides, Brendon wanted to do some background on each character, which is what they did this season.  The only ones without any detail or info at all where Nathan, Charles, and the mysterious member in Toki's (or Skwisgaar's place- some fans have thought that MH was the lead guitarist until he left/died/kicked out and Skwisgaar took his place.  That is why he behaves toward Toki as he does) place.

BTW, notice my spoiler is placed under the spoiler tag. See that icon with the hand over it's eyes up in the tool bar when you post?  Use it!

[mikerhoa]

Holki!

I thought you said it was Salacia, not Selatcia like I had originally thought!

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!!!!

[holkimcardie1]

Nope, it's been either Selatica (most fans think that is the spelling) or Seletica.

[AgentZ12the2nd]

Maybe his name is like Ofdensen's and Rockzo's. Ofdensen/Offdensen/Offdenson, Rockzo/Rockso, Selatcia/Selacia.

[holkimcardie1]

Yeah, I don't think we have ever seen Seletcia's name spelled out.   I think  Jon Schnepp said it wa Selecia.

Rockzo has been with both a "z" and a "s".

Charles' last name has been  both Ofdensen and Offdensen on screen.  The first time it appeared anywhere was on the Pain Waiver that came with the first season press kit and it as Ofdensen then.

[AgentZ12the2nd]

I've always spelled his name as Ofdensen. It seems... cooler. Somehow. Like, more unique.  And I've always seen Selatcia's name spelled on the closed captions on my TV.  Actually, I never even figured out how to pronounce his name until Crozier said it in Religionklok.

[the-rebel-angel]

This ending was my favorite so far. Let's face it, as a sign of the apocalypse, peace in the middle east is a very epic way to end season 3! Not to mention the riffs in that song were absolutely gorgeous.

[klokateer513]

Been thinking about this since the show started re-runnning eps:

Methinks CFO could possibly be a G O D...he 'died', but he has been reborn, which could explain why he was gone for 9 months: it takes 9 months for a baby to develop.

If you read mythology books, there were some g o d s who ate their children so they would not usuarp them...when the children became adults inside their parents' belly, they revolted and freed themselves from their parental captor (I think Hercules was one of those gods who freed brothers/sisters from his dad's belly, and they all went into battle.)

And, of course, I also stated that Seletica could have possibly transfeerred his power to CFO on accident a la Voldemort to Harry Potter.

I think salatcia is offdenson.

Impossible.  Remember that scene where the Tribunal was discussing Offdensen's faked death.  Salacia and Orlaag had a private conversation where he, Salacia, was worried that Offdensen knew who he was.

[klokateer513]

TOKI: (Usual confusion) Charr-relles ams not knows who's he is?

NATHAN: Our manager's got that SOAP OPERA DISEASE...that disease where they forget who they are and they don't remember anything 'til 'SWEEPS WEEK!'

PICKLES: Doods...Char' L's has...AMNESIA!

SKWISGAAR: I ams thoughts amm-nees-shes-a's is that froots salad Jean-Pierre makes forrs us.

NATHAN: We've got to get our manager's memory back...but HOW?

MURDERFACE: Don't you know anything about (Expletive censored by guitar iff) TV? The person who loses their memory ALWAYS gets WHACKED IN THE HEAD...that gets them their memory back.

TOKI: Buts we's kant's hits Charr Relles in's the HEAD...his heads ams will HURT!

MURDERFACE: Aw, don't be such a (Another expletive censored by guitar riff) Our manager survived getting whacked an' he'll survive gittin' whacked again!

TOKI: What's ams we's whacks Charr Relles with?

MURDERFACE: We'll whack him with....(Holds up a HUGE roll of 'Hickory Farms Beef Stick')...THIS!

PICKLES: We hit Char L's with 'SLIM JIM?'

MURDERFACE: NO, (Yet another expletive censored by you-know-what)!!! It's 'Hickory (Expletive...blah-blah) Farms BEEF STICK! We whack O'l Charlie and he'll be knowin' (Expletive...you know the drill) and smelling SPICY!

NATHAN: (Whispers to Pickles) As opposed to NOT smelling like Murderface's FEET!

(Later...much, much later)

(The office of Charles Foster Offdensen...NOT 'Poindexter!' Everyone's 'bread 'n butter' feeds his hybrid spider plant, the Audrey 3, raw meat...and the blood that came with it.)

CFO: Yum-Yum...fresh from the high school prom....extra pig's blood!

(The door to CFO's office opens...Murderface raises the beef stick and is about to whack CFO, but, suddenly...)

MURDERFACE: (Gets tackled and grabbed...and nearly eaten by the Audrey 3; he sprouts a string of expletives)

CFO: (To Murderface) You know Audrey 3 WON'T have her beef stick WITHOUT cheese balls!

FINIS

[AgentZ12the2nd]

And also, as we saw in the flashback, Ofdensen saw Selatcia taking control of General Crozier's mind during the Mordhaus attack.
