Season 3 Episode 1 - "Homo Cantus" - June 21, 2022
Seriously, these girls are idiots. They are hiding with Dodgers and the only rule is to not leave the building but what do they do, they leave the building and that ends up compromising the Dodgers hiding place potentially dozens to hundreds of families, just because tough Abigail needs to talk to mommy.

Season 3 Episode 2 - "The Price of Work" - June 28, 2022
Like seeing the Cession, the area Native Americans/Native people live in that splits the continent. They have their own police force called the Marshalls.
I liked in episode one they showed a group of 6 witches doing a ritual over a 136,000 years ago ... that is how long this story started.
The Camirilla think the Mycelium is the source of the witches power and of course are drilling holes in the earth in an attempt to poison it. They will probably kill the planet. mmmm... is this a dig? Mayhap to the mining and drilling industry, that pollutes the areas they drill in not caring if they destroy the Aquafilter and the local ecosystem.
Is that one character supposed to be transgender? It is very confusing.

Season 3 Episode 3 - "Oh Elayne..." - July 5, 2022
I find it is better to wait and get let 3 episodes air and then watch them one after another, the story is better and if I have to fast forward a bit I don't really miss that much.

Season 3 Episode 4 - "Happy Yule" - July 12, 2022
Enjoyed it, but I did watch 3 episodes in a row so that helps.
I do wonder how the Native Americans/First People do their magic.
I think the head marshal is like General Alder and that his deputies are his biddies as General Alder basically thanks him for showing her the spell.
I like how everyone is freaking out that General Alder is alive.
Nicta is a pain in the ass.
Surprise! The President is alive.
Luv'ed watching the Head Marshal flirt with the President.
That one Camarilla scientist is very sick in the head. I am still not quiet sure what they want to accomplish ... kill all witches yet use magic through mechanical means.

Season 3 Episode 5 - "Cession in Session" - July 19, 2022
The story continues.
I did wonder how the Camarilla managed to create and house an army in the United States but it looks as if much was done in the Session.
Are any of the western states a part of the United States.
It was interesting that the level of technology we see is based on television before the internet. Did having magic means of communication cut the invention of those types of technology.
As much as the Camarilla hate the witches they do study the sonic and subsonic ways the witches voices work to reproduce similar effects.
It was interesting to note that the Session tribes needed all the tribes to agree on a decision. None of them believed in the Camarilla threat and don't think the United States would threaten them or the witches that live in the Session. I do think they are wrong.
The Session Elders so know that Bellweather Unit had nothing to do with the assassination of President Wade as the Marshals told them they had them in custody.
I feel for Talley and her visions, prophecy is inherent on interpretation.
I do wonder how the Camarilla entered the house the Bellweather Unit was staying in? The wards only keep witches in or out? That's what it looks like.

Season 3 Episode 6 - "Book Club" - July 26, 2022
In one sense it was cute to see what Talley's mother's Book Club was up to.
Does the Camarilla want to do a mass genocide of witches? Create a slave race? Or both?
It would be hilarious if the Camarilla accomplished their goals, killed the mycelium and ended up killing the planet. Sounds too similar to certain political parties and big business who only care about power and profit.

Season 3 Episode 7 - "She Returns" - August 2, 2022
As I mentioned before this series is better viewed 2 or 3 episodes in a row as you really get to see where the writers are taking the story because if you view an episode like this one by itself the content is so bare it drags.
Tally is back, whoppee!
One of the Cession council members betrays the council and lets in the Camarilla into the Cession totally believing the Camarilla will leave once they have the Bellweather Unit.
General Alder is in Spain searching for other stewards of the First Song.
Abigail makes a speech.

Season 3 Episode 8 - "Petra's Favorite Pen" - August 9, 2022
Not the best description of the episode.
Raelle, Abigail, and Tarim rescue Scylla from an interrogation center known as The Slaughterhouse.
Raelle and Scylla have a moment.
Tally and General Alder travel to Germany to find a frozen witch hundreds of years old and have her portion of the First Song transferred to Tally.
General Alder dies again.
Abbigail tells Adil she loves him and they promise they will be together.
Raelle asks Scylla to marry her.
General Petra Bellweather kills her minder and goes to the front to except the Bellweather Unit's surrender and stops the Occupation of the Cession.

Season 3 Episode 9 - "But I Don't Even Have a Dress..." - August 16, 2022
Gee, you think the writers knew the series was ending.
We got the girls being tortured but they didn't show it.
We got a weird trial.
President Wade shows up and saves the girls.
There are not one but two weddings...Raelle and Scylla and Abigail and Adil. Please spare me Tally's sex scene and Raelle and Scylla's both I could have done without.
Then they have the Camarilla being rounded up and ex President Silver being jailed and freed and another attack on Fort Salem.
All the storylines are sparse. You don't get a good sense of the time involved. It is a bit of a mess but at least they are trying to plow through two extra seasons of stories into one episode.

Season 3 Episode 10 - "Revolution, Part 2" - August 23, 2023 - Season Finale - Series Finale
So funny, so appropriate that Penelope meets her father again and she kills him with the same virus the Camarilla injected into her to use to destroy the witches of Fort Salem.
Luv'ed seeing General Alder searching for the Abyssinian line in Africa where she finds the name of a girl Oranguise who was sold into slavery in the colonies, goes to America, finds the ruins of the planation, finds books randomly scattered in a room in the house that mentions that Oranguise is now called Jem. Yes, the same Jem Bellweather that is Abigail's ancestor. Abigail's line holds the Song of Earth and Air.
Anacostia tells the Bellweather Unit (Raelle, Tally, Abigail) that they are special, that everyone saw it, they were the perfect blend of talents when they first came together.
Anacostia is killed during the attack on Fort Salem.
Raelle witchbombs the Mother into the atmosphere covering the entire world. Now all people will be able to sing songs and cast spells, all people will now be witches. The Mother speaks through General Alder and tells the girls, Raelle, Tally, Abigail that people will come to regard them as goddesses and that they will remake the world.

When Freeform announced that season 3 was the last season of Motherland: Fort Salem I was relieved it was painful to watch. However fans of the show are attempting to collect signatures on a petition to save the show. Good Luck there are better shows out there.
I liked the premise of a female army and was curious with how that would be handled. Not well, and very heavily handed.
To be politically correct they had the obligatory gay/lesbian couple and they upped their quota and added a transgender, I think that really was not explained well.
Then there were the moonlight orgies to recharge the batteries and lets not forget Abigail having 3 fathers.
The premise of this show was that witches existed and to save themselves from extinction they became each countries weapons of mass destruction and each woman who was a witch had to serve in the military.
There was a secret organization that had been trying for hundreds of years to kill the witches and this organization had infiltrated the government at high levels.
There was potential for an interesting paranormal series that screwed young adult full of angst and drama. Well, they tried and at least they were able to finish the story.
