I think it was always going to be hard to conclude the previous episodes that were so incredibly good. Maybe I lack the same empathy that others seem to have for made up characters, but I felt it ended how it needed to end.
Doris was set up as weak/ untalented from the get go, there was no time to execute a revenge story, and why would she do that anyway? She loved her children so unconditionally she would have done anything for them. It's why she took the pill. C'est la vie.
Alma could have been portrayed more childlike before the pill. I think her post pill transition and ending would have played off more authentically. I hoped she'd not get the first chair job, and then kill the other applicant to get it. But whatever.
Lark was a smaller role played by a supremely talented actor, I think people feel robbed that she didn't have more screen time. I think her role was pretty perfect but I'd like to have seen Doris get her 80's coat.
It doesn't matter what Karen painted on the beach, it's a reflection of what she stood for. She didn't want supreme talent at a price, and she saved Mickey from his own forthcoming demise. It was interesting to see her portrayed in such a loving - albeit violent - way.
I loved the way Ursula went into the woods and rallied up her crew at risk of being eaten.
Belle and Austin got exactly what was coming to them. We knew Harry had to die, didn't we?
The body of the cop was found, and a new cop came to replace her. The knowing looks from the panel tell us she's not going to get far. We really could have done without that scene, but it was a good way to tell us that things will never change in P-town.
I suspected the red lights were simply security lights, after all, all living residents are at risk of being attacked in their homes. And if the resident has taken a pill they might want to be alerted to passing 'food' - would have been nice to get more clarity on this though.
The only thing I wasn't so keen on was the very end. Why cause a huge outbreak of college kid killers? Why do it so openly? Maybe I missed something. I would have felt satisfied with the Hollywood/ killer cop scene as an ending, knowing Ursula and the Scientist had branched out in business together. They didn't need to complicate the ending by adding a new story. Unless this is to feed into another season. We shall see.
