Two by two should have been an entire episode with that title. there is so many that can be written with those pairings and the challenges of their uniqueness being together in the mission field and what Jesus sent them to do.
I really wish they wouldn't try to pack it all into only 7 seasons. I am in no hurry for it to end. My favorite episode was season 1 episode 3,Jesus with the children. I love the relaxed pace and character development episodes the most, but I love all the episodes too. ❤
Overall it’s really powerful movies, it’s not that easy to be detailed, even the Bible, it cannot be recorded all what happened, this is the reason why I appreciate and thankful to Dallas how he makes these disciples real person, the portrayal of their back story were really amazing…
I thought it was the best season!!! I didn't find it disconnected or lacking in solidity, but I think everybody sees different things. Still love your breakdown.💖
Great analysis, Brandon! Perfect points made, I agree with ALL of them, especially your comments on Episode 4. Very well done!
I have mixed feelings about the Simon and Eden miscarriage plot. I think it took away from the joyfulness of the Veronica and Jiarus daughter miracles. I think the miscarriage plot worked well in the season finale because it was used to intensify the Jesus and Simon walking on water scene. I really like what they are doing with Shmuel.
I think it is the catalyst for them both to grow in faith and for Peter to become the leader he became. I think before it, there was a kind of a type of honeymoon period for Eden. As she said, He did so much for others but not for me. It's like for us at times when we don't understand why for some reason our prayers aren't answered - but there's a God reason.
I hope Dallas talks with you about all this and clears up the timeline for everybody. He's got some explaining to do. Lol.
I agree, Jairus and Veronica are so well portrayed by the actors.
I think the way they did it in the scene where Veronica gets healed was perhaps to know that Jesus knew, but he wanted her to speak up.
Completely agree with the 2x2. Especially when Simon and Matthew were put together with their reluctancy.
I personally was confused with Eden’s miscarriage. It seemed like she gave birth to a stillborn. With my miscarriage and my daughters, it wasn’t that dramatic. Perhaps it was us and perhaps it’s due to medical care now vs then. However, I was confused with who she was initially as we are use to seeing her without her hair down. And given the extend of her pregnancy or the enhancement of it, I couldn’t match up the timeline.
I also feel in the last episode she needed genuine tears as she broke down about her and Simon and losing the baby. It’s just not how someone cries. Matthew and James seemed more upset with tears than Eden during their “cry” scenes Just sat odd with me.
Additionally, I don’t know any woman that would withhold the fact she lost her baby from her husband. He is the first one to go to for comfort since it was his too. For me, I did not like this marriage trial story.
Again. It’s only my opinion.
I think it was all amazing. I’m being picky as we discuss what we would have wanted is all. I support and love this show and all the actors. Dallas is greatly blessed with talent.
Agreed! It's almost like they wanted to squeeze in every conceivable marriage struggle, from lack of communication to something as major as a miscarriage. Thus, we got an awkward blend of sitcom-style punch lines where Simon is walking on eggshells to win back Eden's favor--only to learn that she suffered a terrible loss and we never should have found the situation amusing.
In my opinion, the biggest problem with the marriage storyline is that it stole the spotlight from biblical events. Instead of rejoicing when Jesus heals Veronica and raises Jairus' daughter, the show compels us to be angry with Jesus for helping them but not Eden. Even the feeding of the 5,000 had the life sucked out of it when the show forced us to see it from Peter's bitter perspective. Hopefully in Season 4 they'll go back to using fictional stories to elevate the Bible's accounts instead of the other way around. I understand a good portion of the show is fiction, but this is the first time I feel the fiction is utterly implausible. Would the biblical authors really think that Simon's mother-in-law having a fever is worth writing about, but a life-altering miscarriage is not?
@@wilsonhickman Exactly my thoughts. You worded it much better than I could!
@@wilsonhickman I totally get where you're coming from. I thought it was super odd that Eden wouldn't tell her husband that she had had a miscarriage. And I thought that particular miscarriage was a little dramatic, considering she couldn't have been more than maybe 8 weeks along? According to what I think the timeline is. However--I really connected with Simon Peter's struggle and found it extremely poignant. I bawled during the healings of the woman with the issue of blood and Jairius' daughter. I felt moved by compassion and Christ's grace. But, I have experienced certain trials where I felt not abandoned, but blatantly ignored by God. So Simon shouting that he's always had faith, that's never been his problem, but doesn't understand why some are healed and those seemingly closest to Christ are suffering and struggling...it was profound. I'm glad they chose to have both storylines at the same time. Because being a believer in Christ you believe in miracles but also have to accept mortality and the trials we are given, and it's a tough dichotomy to live sometimes. My opinion and yours is valid, too.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed season three. Your comments at the end about the disconnect cleared up some things for me. I also felt disconnected but I think we were supposed to be disconnected. I kept feeling like I was being placed in Simmons sandals; he was truly disconnected from Jesus this season, and I think that the audience feeling disconnect was in relationship to him if that makes any sense. Maybe we were supposed to feel disconnected because of his disconnection and then we could be reconnected at the end as Simon was. Something to ponder.
I hadn't thought of other that way! But wow that's a great way to see it
It was mentioned during the Eden intervention that it’s been two years of change for them with Jesus. So, they will be dealing with one more year of ministry in four more seasons. Maybe the series will go into Acts.
Those characters are a backdrop to why Jesus is there. Example: the broken cistern brings Veronica and Eden together. I love how they show us how they're watching Jesus. 🙏🏽
Why such an unhappy face in the thumbnail after all the positives you have communicated about the chosen? Just clickbait?
I agree with you. Season 3 was amazing and best season yet. But it did feel like, except for the Eden/Peter storyline, everything else was a series of disconnected stories. Some of that could be the Covid issues, and maybe Jonathan’s scheduling. He had just come off filming Jesus Revolution and he may have had some simultaneous obligations. But, I really did love the season. I also liked that in the healing of Veronica, they made Jesus look sort of hazy and glowing. It’s time to see the divinity of Jesus a bit more. That’s why I think they really need to rethink NOT doing the Transfiguration. I think it has to be shown.
Thanks for your overview. I agree with the timeline disconnect, but I still loved every bit. And I think the disconnect with Jesus was probably on purpose to show sometimes in life he may not feel like he's there, yet he is always with us. And in life we have struggles, and it was so emotionally real to me. And gave me courage to trust God in my own bad situations 🙏 💯 🙌. Praise God! Thank you Jesus!
We did get the "Peter" confirmation in season 3. You just need to turn the subtitles for that scene and you will be WOW'ed. 😉
Yes, I saw it in CC too!!!
We looked at that during the livestream. They fixed it and Dallas said it was a mistake. 😅 we have confirmation of how and when they’ll change his name. We talked about it in another portion of the stream. Stay tuned to see that.
I appreciate you sharing and breaking down each episode in each season (BLESS YOU), it was your excitement that gets people excited about the show as well. Overall Dallas did a great job filling personal storylines in between the areas leading up to scriptural scenes. Season 3 episode with Little James is me I can absolutely serving the with a sickness Good job Brandon hang in there
It did not bother me at all! It was a beautiful season!
The bones would have been placed in an ossuary but probably kept on a shelf inside the same tomb.
The timeline was a little wonky for me, too... especially Eden's miscarriage. I work in health care and it didn't seem like enough time had passed for her to have even known she was pregnant (without modern day home pregnancy tests), much less have a life-threatening miscarriage.
Agree one-hundred percent.
It almost seems more likely it was an ectopic pregnancy.
You forgot Ramah so minimum 18 major characters. Just saying. I really liked your detailed and honest review. Very thorough and presented well. Keep up the good work!
A TV show like Lost had about as many main characters as The Chosen, and Lost has as many episodes in their first season as The Chosen has had in three seasons. Both have superb character development, and both juggled that many main characters pretty well.
Not much mention about the transformation of Yussef (Joseph of Arimethea)--a very key person
I think the bridle is the one Jesus uses riding into Jerusalem, a week before He is crucified. "Soon."
Lest we forget, since Dallas and the writers are working from the end, first, there is much more that will eventually make sense of all the confusing moments. Just my 5 cents 😉☺️
I realized that the timeline for Season 3 can be figured out best by the Holidays celebrated in the order in which they are shown. If we begin with Sukkot from season 2 (the end of September), the next holiday celebrated is Rosh Hashanah ( the beginning of Season 3 when Jesus goes to Nazareth - it is apparently almost a year since it is the earlier part of September); Then the return of the Apostles (and the trouble in the Decapolis, which Andrew & Philip go to try to smooth over, and fail) has these 2 apostles returning to Capernaum at Purim - which is in March, so at least 6 months from Jesus'visit to Nazareth. Now we can see that enough time has elapsed for all of the events of season 3 to make sense...
Correct, but they also mention things in episode 6 like “Andrew went to go see John a month and a half ago” so there’s things that seem off to me. I’ll do a deep dive and figure this out soon.
It's awesome that they try to make things as historically accurate as possible, but they also have to make it understandable for people who don't know jewish burial practices. So I don't think the scene by the toumb was that big a deal. The main point is that people understand that Jesus is standing outside of what people can recognize as a grave/toumb.
I agree!
Great video
Brandon, the olive Grove is symbolic. Plus you get to see group dynamics between Judas Iscariot and the disciples with his business skills, and how that plays into his future betrayal. I like to think that they have a master plan in the scripts, but perhaps there are some unintentional gaffes. Or maybe intentional ones. Lol. 😉
Veronica is the name attributed to the one wiping Jesus' face in the Passion of Christ. I wonder if the Veronica in the Chosen will be her?
I reeeeeeally like Veronica. I hope she ends up following Jesus. She already has a tent and is used to that lifestyle...and can wash all the laundry. 😁 but seriously,great actress. I want to see more of her.
Yes, I believe they chose that name for her, because she will be the one doing the wiping of Jesus' face during his Passion. When you watch the interaction between Jesus and Veronica in episode 3x5 you can easily see the roles will be reversed when she gets down to a kneeling/fallen Jesus to 'clean' him and show him mercy. I was astonished to see that foreshadowing!
Atticus will be the roman who says surely this was the son of god
Overall best season yet, but the two by two was also a let down for me because we didn't have those connection moments, or even a conversation between Matthew and Zee . I am still really waiting for some expansion on big James and Thaddeus as there has not been a Big James or Thaddeus moment yet- we don't really feel emotional connection with them yet- so would love that for them!!!!
Absolutely, yes. I mean, the show is called, “The Chosen” meaning the disciples. ;). Let’s build their characters more and relationships
I agree with you so much.
Hey Brandon, make sure you watch their after-shows where they may talk about some of this stuff. May prove helpful. I'm looking forward to their roundtables with Dallas and the bible scholars. 😊
Hello Brandon 👋
We'll probably see more of the camaraderie in later episodes. I heard they filmed more than they showed in this episode or season, and they wrote more than what was filmed. I hope they do get a chance to show more of the bonding. And I'm thinking that they were gone for more than a month and that would explain the time jump with Eden's miscarriage. But yeah, I agree the timelines were unclear. But overall, season 3 was powerful.
That montage at the beginning of Episode 4 was one of my most disliked moments of the whole series thus far. It was underwhelming, hyping up those pairings and then skipping over all of it. I almost quit the show lol
I’m wondering if we will see anything of James and Jude - they are mentioned in Season 3.
That would be. Wry interesting for sure.
I can't remember whose channel it was on, but I could've sworn that I saw a comment from The Chosen that the disciples going out two by two took place over a period of about 6 months. If that's the case, it would make the timeline a little more likely, especially in terms of Eden's pregnancy and miscarriage. 🙏✝️❤
Mary made the comment that Jesus had to grow up faster due to losing his father! I think Jesus was younger than 30! Doesn’t make sense that a grown man needed to grow up! He’s not mentioned in scripture after they find Jesus in the temple at 12 years old
I remember this comment from Mary, and I completely agree with you
I respectfully disagree with your comment of it being disconnected. But I do understand why you feel this way. A lot of people want relationships and the need to connect. But we must realize this is not an Hollywood production and is not funded the same.. I think Dallas and the others have done a fantastic job. We do get to meet the characters (maybe not in the way we want) . Again I want to say, I think the writers are doing a great job. That's just my opinion. For all it's worth!! Blessings
Dallas has said that season 5 is Holy Week, so it makes sense they are about 2 years into His ministry.
You are now at the end of the 2nd year of Jesus ministry. 70 and Salome’s meeting with Eaton, Salome says things have been a lot different these last two years, I believe referring to the time that Simeon’s been with Jesus.
I think she was referring to her and Simon being married. But could be either I suppose.
Small note: Judas theme is heard in Season 2 Episode 8. In the official soundtrack he has his own entire song called The Apprentice and later in Multitudes you can hear his theme when he first introduces himself at the end of that episode, his theme melding well with the quiet staccato excitement of the music.
A random side note: I would say this season has the worst overall episode and the best overall episode.
The women and the olive grove set up and show how women were helping in building the church and supporting the ministry of Christ. It’s the start
I think you're being a little picky. Afterall, the woman with the issue of blood is mentioned for one to two versus in the scriptures if I am not mistaken and Jairus has little page time as well. So the fact that we got as much as we did was phenomenal in my opinion. In the end I think you're focused too much on the characters that have less influence on the narrative of Christ and his ministry with his apostles. The show is called the Chosen, and so I think that really is meant to focus on Christ and his apostles.
Id agree I’m being picky, but I’ve spent the last year saying everything I love about this season in every single detail of every single scene 😂. These are just my unfiltered thoughts about some things I had issue with or my overall feeling of the season. I hold Christian media and especially The Chosen to a very high standard, so if I feel something’s off I want to start that conversation at least. Even if it is a bit nit picky. Hope that makes sense. 😅
I do agree with your analysis of the two-by-two episode. It would have been nice if they hadn't fast-forwarded through that and really focused an episode or two on the trials of the apostles, that way when we get back to Jesus in Nazareth it is more of a special treat and we also know the 12 better. I feel like I don't know anything about Thaddeus or Nathanael.
I actually think it wonderful to see real life issues in all of their lives that emphasizes how human they were, and how much devotion they had, to give up their lives to follow Christ. All the human frailties, jealousies, pain, confusion brings it all to life because we know so much of living is more like this. Such flawed creatures, such needy creatures, all following the holy lamb.
In addition...the juxtaposition of Human / God they do wonderfully.
I felt like a some plot threads were played up too much and wasted time, like the olive oil business. At the same time, other plot threads were under-developed and didn’t hit as hard as they could have, such as the tension between Mary and Tamar, the jealousy James had for John’s and Thomas’s relationship, a resolution to what happened with the crowd in the tent city after Quintus told Gaius to shut it down, Thomas and Ramah trying to convince her father, etc… all seemed to end a bit abruptly. I wonder if they got a bit too ambitious with the sheer number of subplots this season. Maybe some of this will get tied up in Season 4, but it seems like it’s time to move away from Capernaum and the associated plot lines and expand into different cities we know Jesus and the disciples traveled in.
I think we're seeing the disciples' developing their own characters / taking more responsibility. In the first two seasons they were being shaped by Jesus, but as they grow in ministry and responsibility we are seeing them take a lead, we are hearing them express their weaknesses, questioning and trying to work things out without Jesus in the driving seat to "nanny" them. I agree it does feel a bit disjointed without him, but I saw that as indicative of this development.
I wonder if Simon won't get his new name until the end of S4, maybe into S5. Although it comes halfway through in the Gospels, that is also the point where Jesus sets his face to Jerusalem. Maybe The Chosen will use it to set up season 5.
(Do we have an inkling what the season 4 theme will be?)
I agree about the 2x2. There's the James, John and Thomas story which made a start before, but when Jesus starts taking James and John (and Simon) into his inner circle, it's like Thomas never happened.
Stay tuned we had a whole segment in the live stream all about season 4 and what that holds!
Juseph
It is an osuary
I hope we get to see more of Jairus and Veronica in later episodes. Yes the festivals get confusing. Jesus seemingly being gone alot represents some people's walk with Christ, even in today's times. So I like how some of the disciples suggest to others to talk to Jesus when He gets back. Like what we're supposed to be doing also. 🙏🏽
May become relevant post resurrection
Joseph was said to have died of old age. He is the patron of a good death. He went from being with Jesus directly to the presence if God.
Sources? I'd like to know more.
When will they start shooting season 4
I believe Dallas said at the end of March, if all goes according to plan.
You know the characters far more than you knew them prior to The Chosen. Plausibly.
I think we may see that Veronica may become one of the women who follows JESUS, so her Character development may yet grow...
You did say the show isn’t a Jesus show.
This season had the best highs and the lowest lows. Just from an entertainment value. I feel that severely over hyped the 2 by 2, just to finish it in a montage. Super disappointing!!! But little James, Veronica, Jairus’ daughter, and of course Simon’s story, were the best scenes/moments of the series so far!!!
Always hard to top original seasons everyone with every series sadly. Dallas keep up the impossible feet lol ppl are reading the bible watching
😉
Is there a reason I don't hear audio?
I hear it
Close UA-cam and open it again. This happens to me a lot in the last weeks. Seems it always happens when UA-cam is initiating/changing settings.
Turn up the volume
Regarding the 2 by 2 it had already been stated in the aftershow that they had to cut out a lot of the 2 by 2 stories so yes, it was disappointing but I think they had to make choices what to leave out. I guess they cannot include everything in only 8 episodes. I am not that interested in the timeline aspect, I think its just best to focus on the biblical aspects of the show and just focus on that. Overall still the best season so far.
I agree for sure. I think that’s why I had struggles with the timeline because biblically it changes a lot to skip around time like that. And just as a story overall it makes it feel not as solid or grounded in reality.
