Possible plots of Season 4
Possible spoilers, you may not want to read ahead if you didn't finish The Devil's Playhouse yet.
I just had an idea earlier today that I thought I'd share.
Perhaps now that Sam and Max are in the possession of a Time Machine (well, in one possible ending), the events of Season 4 could play out as the design of the canceled Sam and Max game, "Sam and Max Plunge through Space". (If you don't know about the story of that game, you should read up on it here: http://www.samandmax.net/wiki/Sam_%26_Max_Plunge_Through_Space). I suppose that if Sam and Max travel to the future, they could arrive in the time that they visited in 204. Perhaps they could even replace themselves in the Intergalactic Freelance Police, allowing their future selves to retire. I've thought of a few possible ways to incorporate supporting characters and locations from the past 3 seasons, they are:
*Future Stinky's, run by Grandpa Stinky (in his Gorilla body), and Sam Jr. (Who is now fully grown, taking over Sal's position as the chef).
*Future Sybil's, who is run by Sybil and Abe's half-statue-half-human son/daughter.
*Future BoscoTech Labs, run by an elderly Bosco. (Maybe even possibly Momma Bosco using some sort of Life Support Invention).
*Although I haven't thought of much of a purpose, M. Papierwaite and Dr. Norrington could still be live and running the Museum.
Although it may be a little early to think about a 4th season, I just wanted to share my thought and see what you guys think.
If you think of ways my ideas can be improved on, feel free to correct any mistakes I may have made, or even post your entirely new ideas.

Comments
-Characters from season 3 like Paperwaite, Norrington and Sam Jr. staying as recurring characters (Oh specially Paperwaite/Norrington)
-Finally seeing the child of the Lincon-Pandemik (My bets it's a stone head child with human body)
-New mechanics like we saw in season 3 but withut firgetng the core point and click mechanics.
-Monkey Grandpa Stinky
-Sam having a bit more of focus this time around (Max has been president, the only one orginally inmune to Huge Bliss' powers, leader of a religion, sitcom star and a carrier of The Gift. I say Sam needs more spotlight)
I'm with you on all these points, especially the bolded ones.
The way I see it, Sam is supposed to be the brain. Max is supposed to get all the power, and Sam sees that he at least uses some of it to fight crime. And also, exploit it. I can't imagine Sam having awesome superpowers like Max, anyway.
Sam's awesome superpower is his mind, man.
You mean, the S*** Poppers?
I like one thing a lot about the ending of season 5: Since the New Max is a time traveller from another point and not the "real Max", he could easily be made non-president again, having Superball assume the role. Maybe Superball could entrust a mission of National Security to S&M, maybe working a James Bond angle here? I can see the potential for fun here.
Fresh material for an eventual season four please.
Maybe they could have a short video or something recapping alternate-Max's adventures with Electro-Sam, and then carry on into a new season from the point TDP left off at.
Although, this is the first time that I've said, I'd be happy not to see another season now. Of course another would be brilliant, but TCTDNS had a satisfying conclusion that could simply be left at that if they chose.
Basically, the main plot is that Sam and Max tries to avoid their respective assassins, while also investigating what had happened to them in the future that caused all this, using the Time Traveling Elevator, of course, and try to prevent it, so that these futuristic villains will stop bugging them. Each episode takes place in a point in the future, where Sam and Max tries to stop their future selves to ever start their own evil empires or something, as well as protecting them from futuristic assassins.
There's a shiny future, like the Jetsons, which we saw in episode 204. There's a post-apocalyptic future, where Sam lost his mind and became a vicious beast, with Max riding on his back (think Master Blaster from Mad max), and a future where the world is overrun by robots, all thanks to Bosco restoring the internet's sentience. Also, there should be a Maimtron 9000 sent from the future to kill Bosco.
Sam and Max: Ego Trip.
I'm so freaking brilliant.
Season 4, 5 episodes. Episodes 1-4 are cases that
THAT would be so awesome!!! I would like to play with Max X but i also want the real Max back, and this would satisfy me in both ways!
