EL OH EL.

She's gonna be like "Didn't you get my note I was going? Where the hell have you been?! Oh, and WHO IS THIS BITCH carrying a baby up into my house?!"

I am sticking by my original assessment that the show should have ended last week.

Last nights episode was such a waste of everything.

It seems to be ending so slowly too.

Last season, Vivien died in the second-to-last episode while giving birth. I think that's also when Ben found out Violet had already died and was just a ghost. Then, the next episode, Ben died really early on. It felt like the rollercoaster of a season was ending with loops and corkscrews.

This season, it seems to be dwindling instead of shocking, you know?

I still think that the season would have been even better than last year, had the aliens never been introduced. Everything else seemed so cohesive (except maybe the zombies, but at least they were connected to Briarcliff so heavily).

Eh...I didn't have a problem with last night once we got past the whole Three's Company with axes part. Boy, Janet really hated Chrissy this time around, huh?

And I don't mind the slow wind-down. It was a ****-ton of crazy, and now we're moving towards the end, which is really just about F*CKed up mothers and sons. What DID happen to Ryan Murphy when he was in diapers?

AHS Season 3 should just be about Murphy's childhood.

Maybe Sondheim could put it to music. He's just as bad with his Mommy issues.

Ooooooooh...all the bad kiddie movies! The Omen...The Bad Seed...Tomorrow, The World!

I'm ALL. F*CKING. FOR. IT.

So...what did people think of the grand finale.

I thought it was pretty terrific, and I actually gasped a MeeMaw Lana's last moment with Dylan McDermott.

I found it very satisfying.

That's exactly the word that I thought at the end. There really is something to be said for stories with closed endings.

I wish they had explained why the aliens ever showed up, but whatever. I loved how Kit's kids took in "Nana" like that.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Right?? Even with the open-ended alien issue, I felt it resolved really beautifully.

And Sarah Paulson was truly marvelous.

I loved the flashback ending, especially after Lana confessed to Johnny that it was her fault. After what Jude said, it really did feel like Lana actually brought it on herself. If she had left Briarcliff alone, Kit, Grace, the devil in Mary Eunice, Dr. Arden's nazi ways would have all still happened. Lana's story happened because Lana insisted that something, by golly, had to happen.

I enjoyed it, even though the show mellowed out the past few episodes. I appreciated Kit's character the most, quite a humanitarian act with what he did. And I was not surprised with the ending at all, but still thought it was good.

I thought it was a very fitting conclusion to a season that really threw a LOT at us - aliens, Nazis, fake Anne Franks, the devil, the angel of death, crazy Santa Claus, amputations, bloody face - it was a wild thirteen episodes.

I wish they had gotten a bit more into the aliens (something that was a little short-changed) but overall I can't say I wasn't satisfied by what we were given.

[Jordan Catalano]

I was satisfied with the ending. I can't say the same about the season as a whole, though. Hopefully next season Murphy looks up the definitely of the word "horror" and applies it to the scripts written, sine the past two seasons haven't been anything even close.

[FindingNamo]

I just looked it up on Merriam-Webster and I would have to say "the past two seasons haven't been anything even close..." is a stretch worthy of a taffy pull.

[Jordan Catalano]

Lol. Well, the show should be called AMERICAN SUSPENSE STORY.

The human experiments struck me as pure horror.

[Reginald Tresilian]

I have to say that I didn't like this season as much as the first.

Of course, "horror" is a pretty broad rubric, but I prefer the supernatural to the merely horrific.

But I'm definitely looking foward to season 3.

"The human experiments struck me as pure horror."

In theory, I agree. But as executed (no pun intended) they just didn't come off that way. BUT I'm fully aware that I watch way too much horror in general and might just be "desensitized" to certain things on screen.
