I would love this so much.

I really liked the musical number. Someone on another forum mentioned that maybe the aliens were cloning the people that they abducted.

I still don't really know how I feel about this season. There were parts that I really liked about it but I still feel like it was all over the place. I don't think I'm going to be able to fully appreciate it until it comes to a close. I love stories of insane asylums but so far I think Murder House was better.

I think both seasons kind of lose their energy at the end. The original was like that too. I believe there are only two episodes left. Really no more major twists just closing story lines now.

What is going on with the angel of death?

I loved the ending but it didn't really wrap everything up for me. What was going on with the aliens? What was up with the angel of death in the second to last episode?

SPOILERS BELOW


The aliens abducted Kit's partners, impregnated them, and produced the two kids, who in the terminology of the mythology are "star children" - little clues are given throughout the episode that the children are "special." In classic UFO mythology, the aliens came to spread their seed, mix with our race, creating mutations to advance the species.


I'm not sure exactly what you're not sure about with the Angel of Death.

I actually really liked the fact that the aliens' precise motivations weren't revealed. Their basically incidental involvement opens the scope of the show in an interesting way, especially with there already being supernatural-religious occurrences, too.
Overall, a melancholy finale, and it felt like a satisfying end to this season.

I'm going to be honest - for some reason the finale just wasn't satisfying for me, but I can't really put my finger on it.

SPOILERS


I'm fine with where they left the Alien plot - I like the Star Children and how they wrapped up Sister Jude's story (so melancholic)... I was also OK with Kit's demise...

But I feel like it fizzled a bit. I'll have to figure out what I mean, but it seemed anti-climactic overall. Not sure what I would have done to change it, and I think that the subtle melancholy was definitely purposeful... But it somehow was just... unsatisfying. Great season, but I feel maybe the finale could have been two hours instead of one perhaps?

Yes, yes, yes! I feel the same way! I was left feeling VERY unsatisfied, like there could have been more. And, like you, I'm not really sure what I would do to change it. I felt like season one's finale was much better.

Totally - Now, that isn't to say that I didn't like the season... I LOVED the season! I just thought that it really fizzled. It felt like the last episode was more of an afterthought/epilogue than anything else, but I also feel as though the director did that purposefully.

Did anyone feel that way? Wondering what your thoughts were to the tone - Just an odd amount of storytelling and exposition.
