Series finale?
I just watched the final episode of season three, and it REALLY felt like a series finale. I can't find anything about a fourth season being announced. Was that the end?
share*Spoiler Alert*
If this was a serious show then they would end it but its a comedy so you can do whatever to the storyline and get away with it. The writers have bent the rules the entire 3 seasons. I mean wasn't Thad a mentioned as a "senior" in season 1???
Not sure where they could go with the football aspect of it. I mean it pretty much seems like they have peaked in that aspect. They won the national championship (even though they didn't)...but it feels that way. And it doesn't appear that the director wants to film an actual game being played (based on seasons 1 and 2)so I don't see the season 3 type ending happening again.
A wild idea for Season 4 just for the fun of it....
The football team gets the death penalty...so football is canceled. Thad doesn't get drafted and just stays in school...2nd major? Masters? However they want to do it. The others play in intramural football league to pass time. It would be easy to create an on-campus rival. Everyone in the cast could play again, and if the director wanted it would be easier to film an actual game.
Whatever it is, I just hope they get back to the comedy side of it. The last few dramatic episodes of season 3 was hard to watch.
Well it is called Blue Mountain State, so it could be about anything related to College. They shouldn't give up on the show, they got a great cast, some good writers and directors (known from among others Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the Broken Lizard crew aka Super Troopers etc).
So, do whatever they have to transform the show into something that can persist, there are tons of ideas and ways it could work and as long it is still funny what's the harm.
Otherwise, the season 3 ending is pretty amazing and a really good closing episode for the series.
The way season 3 ended did have a big feeling of finality to it, but I do hope there will be another season. However, with a finale like that the show could go either way; to top the finale they would have to go bigger, because if they stayed the same the show would go downhill.
shareI'd rather the show just went to the pros for a fourth season rather than contrive a reason for Thad coming back to college. As was mentioned before, they get the death penalty, Moran enters the draft as a junior and they all magically end up on the same pro team, with Coach Daniels being an assistant. The college football aspect has been explored for three seasons, but there's fertile ground in the pros. Coach Daniels dealing with swallowing ego to be a lowly position coach, Thad dealing with the increased speed of the NFL and no longer having a huge talent edge, and Moran holding a clipboard or on the practice squad. The loser mascot can hang on Moran, have his dream of being a pro mascot crash and burn.
But, I'm probably asking to much of this show, they'll probably just have Thad's knee explode and have him come back to BMS as a coach.
