I know I said I was going to make a post about the American Horror Story season finale last week, but I honestly needed some time to think everything over. So much more happened than usual in one episode. For one, we were fifteen minutes into the episode and Ben already had a shotgun to his head. That was one thing that I predicted would happen. I thought the episode would end with Ben putting a gun to his head, and it all ending before we knew if he was dead or alive. Then, out of no where he was hung from the chandelier, dead before the second commercial. That was something that I totally didn’t expect and had me yelling at my television. I had thought Ben would make it out of the house and save his baby before anything bad happened.
After all the Harmons were ‘dead’ and the second family came in and bought the house, I knew they wouldn’t actually stay. (First off, they weren’t good enough actors to stay on the show in the first place…) But I’m glad they weren’t killed and the Harmons scared them off, which I am assuming they are going to do with any other family that tries to purchase the Murder House. Scaring off the families is definitely an act of kindness: they do not want any other families to go through what other families have gone through by living in that house.
Does anyone else think the realtor is keeping some secrets? She totally knows something that we don’t.
At first, I thought Tate had a doppelganger or some sort of evil twin that was responsible for all of the bad things he did. But I guess since he basically admitted to everything he did in the past, including shooting all of those kids he went to school with and raping Mrs. Harmon, the doppelganger theory went down the toilet. I just wish he could have said why he did all of those things, rather than have us assuming and making up reasons for all of it.
I heard that the producer of AHS said that Tate, Violet, the Harmons and all the other characters will not be in season two. There will be a new ‘murder house’ and a new cast. I have no idea how season two is going to work out. first of all, the end of season one left us all with so many questions that probably will go unanswered if there is a new cast in season two. Since everyone is dead, what’s going to happen next? Will there be some war of good (the Harmons) verses evil (Tate, Hayden, etc)? What will happen to the two babies? Since we already saw the one that is Tate’s son, Michael, murder someone, will he end up just like he father? What will happen to Ben’s son?
I have so many questions that I am dying to get answered and I don’t think I can wait until next season. I really, really hope there isn’t whole new cast. I want the current characters to have a longer plot, but I wouldn’t mind a few new faces. I wasn’t too overly pleased with the finale. I kind of loved it and hated it at the same time.

I guess we will all have to wait to see what happens next…

This TV show is based on the series of books by L.J. Smith. Seriously, I tried reading the first book to the Vampire Diaries, and I couldn’t even get into it. It was kind of boring, and I really don’t like Smith’s writing that much. (And I don’t understand the order of the books, because they all have three parts or whatever. Could someone explain that to me?) But, besides that, I am obsessed with the TV show!
The main character, Elena Gilbert, (played by Nina Dobrev) is torn between two vampire brothers, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). I know this might seem kind of cliché, but that isn’t what the whole series is about. Basically, the main controversy is between Stefan and Damon because in the past, they both loved the same girl, Katherine Pierce, who turned them into vampires. Weirdly enough, Elena looks exactly like Katherine. I don’t understand that, and hopefully they’ll explain that soon.
There are a lot of other main plot points, like how vampires in the city of Mystic Falls, Virginia, date very far back. There are a lot of vampire fights, surprising moments, and huge cliffhangers! I love this show.
I’m super sad though, because the first season finale is May 13th, 2010. I will be waiting for it to come back!!
