i’ve always loved the scene with valentine and clary. the fact they don’t treat her like a ‘typical girl’ and have her just outsmart him or be the damsel in distress until someone else came in at the last second. loved that it was just straight up violence lmao, her stabbing him over and over again is how people want most villains do die, a satisfying end. kat mcnamaras acting definitely sold it for me too, felt her rage
She definitely got better, season 1 her acting wasn't super good, there was a lot of moments where I was rolling my eyes or cringing, but she really got better as the show went on, and even in her next couple of shows that she's been in, Arrow and The Stand she did a great job. I loved seeing her glow-up.
i still love this episode so much. clary stabbing valentine to high heaven is sooo satisfying and then that shot of her from below right after is just *chefs kiss* idk if anyone has told you this but at the time of filming, dom (jaces actor) was dating sarah hyland so that’s how her random cameo came about. and anthony head voices the angel if you were wondering why you recognised that iconic tone.
yoooo anthony head voices him?? why did i not know that it makes so much sense. also another reason for merlin to be the next side show it’s just too good ahhhh
LOVE this finale so much, sets up such an exciting season 3 and just shows how far the show has come! Jace and Clary were never the main reasons I watched the show, but their moment when they think they're about to get executed, and when Valentine stabbed Jace... OOOF the emotions!! As with happened to you, you do end up realising pretty quick Clary will use the wish... but the emotional hit lands! Having Clary and Alec hurting at the same time was powerful too. Also yes I think what you said about Alec and the parabatai reaction would have been so powerful as well. Can't wait for you to see what's to come!
7:41 - you have actually watched that in a tribute video 😂 i think it was one of the first ones too.... maybe The Shadowhunters-Unstoppable video or The lightwoods one....😂😂 Really been enjoying these videos thanks Jer❣️ EDIT - Yeah i checked 😂 its in your second ever Shadowhunters reaction- Shadowhunters,Unstoppable .
22:43 I agree that they could’ve shown more of Alec’s experience of Jace dying. I liked your ideas! 23:55 I didn’t realize Raphael wasn’t in this episode. When you mentioined that I also realized the Lightwood parents probably should’ve been incorporated into the ep. somehow. Especially since the showdown against Valentine happened in Idris. For that matter, where is Lydia and real Sebastian’s cousin? 25:57 I’m glad you liked S2 better! That’s the general consensus in the fandom. I think S3 is also better than S2, but the jump in quality isn’t as dramatic. Excited to see what you think!
This episode is SUCH a good finale, I love it!! I honestly don't remember if we saw Raphael lol, but I feel you. You just want everyone to be there :). We also didn't have much from Izzy, interestingly. I mean, she was around, but she had most of her closure (for the season) and was mostly just trying to get everything taken care of. Still, she was great :). Simon and Luke going after Maia!! Icons. The way Luke just takes down Meliorn is so funny lol. Simon does seem to have made a deal he may be shouldn't have though 😬. I love Maia but the Seelie Queen is so manipulative, and Simon also didn't tell anyone where he was goinggg xd. Agh, gosh. He and Maia are cute though :). Also Maia looks amazing in that party scene (she always does but you know) 🥰!! MAGNUS AND ALEC ARE BACK TOGETHER 🥳🥳!!! Honestly the best/most important part of the episode for me lol /hj. The nearly shutting the door and "Shadowhunter" from Magnus is crazy and hurts 😭 xd. I'm glad he agreed to help anyway though. Also Alec asking if he's gonna be okay :)), but him saying he's the high warlock of Brooklyn 😌. Icon. Also, I think I remember you watching a best of Magnus video, so that shot might've been in that? Idk though, I feel like that was mostly season 1. I have no clue, but I feel you xD that kind of thing has happened to me before. Honestly I started watching Shadowhunters sometimes after seeing Malec in a best couples video thing, so I have that deja vu type feeling every time Alec hugs Magnus in 2x10 lol. Anyway! Magnus saving Alec and still closing the portal, Alec immediately going to Magnus when he drops, and "You can't get rid of me that easily" 🥰🥰. Also seeing Alec use his bow is great!! He's amazing in the scene in the city with the "I've got this". Also, speaking of lol, Jace: when am I ever not careful? Jace literally 20 minutes/like 8 hours later: 💀 XD he was not careful lol. Anyway, not gonna talk about the parabatai bit till I'm talking about Jace and Clary so we'll get there in a minute. The heart eyes Alec gives Magnus in the bar are insane xD. Anyway, their making up scene is literally the sweetest
"If it doesn't come around to them being good again and kissy kissy, throw the whole show away." I think a lot of people agree with this sentiment. If Alec and Magnus are not happy we aren't.

Yes season 3 has a nice ending, it's not left unfinished or someting, it's actually a pretty nice closure for the show, don't worry !
Such a good finale....so many things happening!
Here comes Lilith...
Season 3 is freaking awesome.

They need a repeating video of Clary getting whacked by Valentine cause that was funny.
This episode is SUCH a good finale, I love it!!
