I have to say that I actually thought the last two episodes were brilliant... I really did like the reveal about Violet (Mark anticipated it but, honestly, I didn't see it coming until she couldn't leave the house).

As for the last episode with the birthing scene, utter brilliance - I like how corporeal, sad, and lonely these ghosts are - Makes it a lot more "realistic" and different than other ghost stories that I have seen on film. And the concept of all of the ghosts coming together to deliver the baby - So incredibly and delightfully macabre. The end itself made my heart absolutely break.

I agree with NE - I think that that's the only direction that they can go in... And I think it's a good direction; I like the idea that next season will bring in a new family. Mark and I have been discussing this possibility pretty early into the show (essentially all I could think was, "Geez! Why the HELL won't they leave the house?! I don't know if I can suspend my disbelief that they would stay in that house." - I figured that the only way they could dispel my fears was to move a new family in... And if they all die, well, there's an avenue for our new family). I think it would be fantastic.

I love this show. I absolutely do. I didn't really feel a lull or lose interest as others stated - I think that it kept a good swift pace and didn't dwell too long... But at the same time it has overarching story arcs. It's an incredibly well-done show. I hope it keeps it up.

Me too, for sure. That scene, despite still being really crazy, showed a level of restraint that is rare on this show, and that made it really powerful.

Great scene definitely. Quite surreal and totally macabre like Chrono mentioned. Looking forward to the finale.

Then another year to wait! :D

Tonight's the finale. I wonder how things will end for this family. I have a feeling, as with most good ghost stories, that a character won't make it out alive.

well.....not sure where this show is going next year. A new family moves in and the "good ghost" will just scare them out. [ Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice] Could get boring....kinda think the writers shot their load already on this one. Will just have to wait and see.

[neverending]

Yah, I was thinking Beetlejuice as I watched it as well...

Well, there is the matter of the child. It could go in a completely different direction. I'm pretty optimistic.
