I'm only about 20 minutes into last night's episode, but no wonder When did the acting get so bad? Dion nearly left teeth marks in the set.

Everyone on this show sucks. I wish I could be deeper, but lord. This is interminable.

I usually don't mind Tom, but all his talk about "helping out" and "watching" his own kids annoyed the hell out of me.

Before the pandemic, I booked flights for myself and clients most weekends of the year. You can't just cash in airplane tickets nowadays. It's like the writers haven't actually booked their own flights since the 80s.

Anyone else weirded out about how the show has just completely swapped out Doris and Angela?

Holy Mother of All That's Holy, who told Swoozie Kurtz all that work was a good idea? I've loved her since Sisters, but I just turned on the show and had to come and confirm that it wasn't just me. I can go either way on the fourth wall and laugh tracks, but opening with a spit take, the fourth wall, AND Swoozie Kurtz's face number lower face being held together with overpriced spackle? WOW.

But what I don't get is they already HAD Misha up there. They had brought people up, had them quarantine, etc. But this is what we got.

I get the idea that after all the fighting these two have done, all the huge battles they've waged against the worst of the worst, that going out with something mundane would be seen as something poetic, but in that case, I would have rather they picked cancer, or even COVID-19. Not some rando vampire in a rando barn and a rusty old nail in the middle of nowhere, a few days after they took down GOD and replaced him with their own kid. That all just made no sense to me. I think we all kind of accepted Dean to fall in battle, but like that? And then to TELL us about all the people in Heaven, but to show us JUST Bobby? Seriously, did they run out of money? They couldn't put a trenchcoat on an extra?

I've chosen to mentally reject this and accept only the season five finale as the finale.

SERIOUSLY, DID THEY RUN OUT OF MONEY OR SOMETHING? Did Misha have somewhere else to BE that last week? The actual HELL?

WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE HELL WAS THAT??? It's like the writers wrote the season thinking there'd be 19 episodes, they got done with last week's, presented it to the network and the CW was like: "Great! Can't wait to see what you have left for the finale?" Writers: "Uh, this is the finale." CW: "You better come up with something for the 20th episode, guys."

I'm utterly bored without much new entertainment lately, but holy mother of all that's holy, what is wrong with these writers? I've fast forwarded every episode this season. If this family actually acted like this in the 80s, they should have all been institutionalized.

So, uh, what's left for next week? Also, I had to laugh at all the shots of everyone very definitely 6 feet away from one another.

I took Henry's double as a manifestation of guilt in the form of what his brother accused him of really being: An evil little shit. I know abusers can be quite charming with everyone, but Peter didn't work for me. He didn't seem charming enough for a woman to let him possess her forever after a few months or a year or whatever of dating. Really? That was her long-term plan? And I know Miles was likely starving for male attention, but, really? This guy? Also, Dani following up seeing her dead fiance (and who else laughed at him going SPLAT all over the roadway immediately after getting pissed when she came out to him) everywhere with seeing Viola everywhere a decade later makes me think they should have at least tried to get her some psychological help before she just immediately jumped to drowning herself in that lake.

Goodness, this was sooooooooo slow. The Craines had a lot of kids, but at least they helped move things along. Also, the actress who plays Adult Flora not even bothering to try to adopt a British accent, unlike all the others and their wide array of accents, made me laugh.

LOL. Excellent point. "Wow, this area was overrun with creatures, who we've just figured out were humans who have devolved, and the kids are going to be left with one human woman on the run from their cult, but Campian's got this! Time to die."

I'm a smart person, but here are my questions: 1. Did I miss why Mother and Father didn't just kill "the baby"? 2. What's the ship that went over MarCaleb toward the end? 3. So did the ship basically come out the other side of the planet? Is that why the "voices" told them the temperate zone wasn't safe?

Uh ... what just happened?

Hi. Is this where grown adults admit they thoroughly enjoyed Julie and the Phantoms? As has been mentioned, it's just so shiny and happy and the world kinda isn't right now, that I got sucked into this show. It helps that the actors don't have that Disney Show SCREAMING AND MUGGING FOR THE AUDIENCE! vibe, and they're allowed to just "be" and act. I particularly enjoyed the reaction scenes and interplay among the boys in the band -- they really give off that vibe that they're ride or (literally) die, and supportive without being judgmental. If you start to think too much about this show, it all falls apart -- like how they can pop in onstage with not just their instruments, but also speakers, lighting, etc.; how they make a HUGE deal out of the show at the end, play one song as an opening act, and then just up and bounce? What happened between taking the stage at Caleb's and popping into the performance with Julie? But this isn't the year to blow holes through one of the few things to give me hope for a few hours, so I just ignore all that and wait for season two!

I feel like there would be less confusion among us viewers if the show had been called "Tales from Lovecraft Country."

Yeah, I think I have the same problem that you all mentioned -- I hate Cousin Oliver-like characters added in. I love shows changing, but sweet-as-pie little kids in a show like this just throws me.

I hate the addition of Dorothy. It makes no sense. "How about when my 11-year-old daughter is in the room..." She's like 95, bro. Also, she's just ugly to look at. I'm sorry, but she's just homely and disturbing to watch. Just me?

Yes - and I think there was a reference to the other Alexander Koehlers in Germany when the inspector was interrogating Alexander.

I just rewatched it over the past two days. Germany is specifically mentioned as the location. I can't recall which episode, though.

I always thought they should have recast Michelle with another woman who was on another ABC show in the 90s, like Danielle Fishel or Christine Lakin.
