Damn allergies. That was an excellent finale! TCG thinks the Dexter writers should be forced to watch it, so they can see what a series finale should look like. Kristen, I hope you land on another excellent show (hopefully with better ratings).

I want to watch the whole series in one huge binge, now. I bet that would be really satisfying.

Me too! Especially since I think I missed a few episodes from S1 before I realized what a good show it was.

I started re watching on Netflix. A well-done finale, although I am sad to see the show end.

We're ringing in the New Year by watching Coven. We're on our eighth episode tonight, and then we'll be all caught up.

These witches are a hot mess.

"She's an innocent. Mostly. She killed the neighbor lady, but she had it coming."

Nan was pretty much the last person on the show that hadn't killed someone prior to last night, wasn't she?

So this story just completely fell apart and is now a hot, hot mess, no? I mean, I did enjoy the appearance of Stevie Nicks and I'm still enjoying the actors' performances for the most part, but nothing that is happening really makes any sense. Was it really that easy for Laveau and Fiona to forgive each other after all that feuding? And Fiona can't stand to even look at, let alone work with Cordelia, but she's fine working with Laveau, who was the one who actually hired the witch killers? And why would Madison think that stuffing Misty in a coffin and burying her would get rid of her for good when Misty came back from getting burned alive at the stake? Really? And Nan is a homicidal maniac now who makes people stick cigarettes in their vaginas? OK. And I'm not even sure I really care anymore who the Supreme is. These witches suck ass at pretty much everything. It's no big prize to have to lead them. Maybe if it turns out that the new Supreme is Diana Ross...maybe then I'd be excited.

This is my first season with AHS. Is it always like this?

Also, is Madame's head still sitting on Queenie's table watching a fuzzy TV screen and wondering what black movie classic is coming next? Is Queenie even really dead? Maybe she and Madame's head are sitting around eating burgers and watching BAPs. Or perhaps they've moved on to Woo now?

Kind of a waste of some amazing actresses and a lot of potential. The show's not even scary anymore. At least Angela Basset still looks flawless. There's that.

This season is a little more ambitious, plot-wise, than the first season (which was confined mostly to the house, and the people who had lived and died in it), but the second season was just as nutty, I think.

I think with this show, it's like they take Coco Chanel's advice backward -- instead of taking one accessory off before leaving the house, they add three more.

I think the writing this season is uneven, too. Cordelia, for one, sounds like she's in another show entirely, and they're leaving a lot more loose threads hanging than before (although I'd really have to rewatch both previous seasons to say for sure). They do seem to have upped their game every season in terms of shock quotient -- last year was all sex and religion with some aliens and serial killers thrown in, and the first season was mostly shattering the American dream of happy families -- troubled kids, cheating spouses, etc.
