I thought the whole Maryann wedding thing got too ridiculous. But I liked the way that Sam killed her.

The Queen is the best! Yahtzee!!!!!LOL

I loved her and Erik's scene. Hawwwwt!

Loved the scene between the two women witrh their conspiracy theories in Merlottes.

I thought Eggs' death was a bit stupid.

Poor Hoyt.

BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first half of the episode was about a 2/5 but the second half was about a 4/5.

Honestly, I thought that this was Marrianne at her best. But that isn't saying much...
Ben: I was told a lot of things, too, that I was chosen, that I was special. I end up with a tumor on my spine and my daughter's blood all over my hands.
Locke: I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
Ben: Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen, because destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.

Eggs' death was very... unnescessary, but that being said, I am so glad that there will be no more screentime wasted on that annoying character.
And I actually loved Maryann's death. Her death scene was shot incredibly well, and Michelle Forbes was excellent as usual.

Overall, I'd say 3 stars.
A lot of the scenes after Maryann's death seemed a little unnecessary, but I loved Sam confronting his parents.
The cliffhanger was disappointing, and Jason, well I'm not sure what to make of that... Apart from that, it was good.

Yeah, I don't know exactly how I felt about it.

It sort of feels like last year's finale. It was okay, but I wasn't blown away and I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat for S3.

I want werewolves next season.

I would also like to continue seeing Evan Rachel Wood's face, regularly.

I think that the finales were the worst episodes of each season, they just cannot write them.

Season 1 - Extremely rushed, Rene's performance was way off and the dialog was just poor and annoying.
Season 2 - It looked kind of good until Maryann died, her death was badly done (almost like they did it in one cut) and the rest of the episode was a bunch of nothing. Egg's death was rushed and unnecessary. Bill's cliffhanger was a huge cliche, I thought I was watching Twilight for a second.

Agreed. They both seriously failed to deliver, though I think most of S1 was the same quality as the finale.

I really liked Maryann's death scene actually. I thought it was very well shot, but the rest of the episode was either uninteresting and very few of the 'twists' were executed well.

When the bull was shaking her, that part was terrible. Before she got stabbed looked great.

I prefer the first season because of a couple of neat scenes. But it was more rushed than the second season.

Still, the second finale was more uneven.

Fuck all of you. Marrianne sucked this whole fucking season. I wanted somebody to fucking cut her into a million fucking pieces, and then piss and shit all over those pieces. That would be the only truely fitting ending to that absolutly horrible character, but the ending that she did get was at least close enough.

While I hated every other episode with Marrianne in it, this is the only one that actually made me kind of like thayt fucking bitch annoying piece of shit whore of a character. Some of the wedding was stupid, I'll admit, but so was every other fucking moment that cunt was on screen. At least this had its moments, unlike every other second of her fucking story. Her death was good, despite not being the death I wanted for her. And the ending part of the episode, with the whole aftermath of the story finally made the whole fucking waste of time somewhat worth it. I loved the comedy between Andy and Jason, which is the only thing up until this episode was the only thing that made it somewhat bearable, and it was still good in this episode. I liked their scenes together. I liked how the whole town acted after forgetting everything. Eggs' death was pretty good, although it could have been a bit better. I didn't care for Jessica going out at the end like that, though I liked the part with Hoyt coming to her house. The ending cliffhanger was predictable though, and my main complaint about it. But overall it was a million times better that horrible, aweful, terrible, shitty, crappy, feicies-filled, garbarge, annoying, makes-me-want-to-blow-my-fucking-brains-out-to-fucking-end-my-misery storyline that the rest of Marrianne's story was. I'm so fucking glad that she's gone. Now we can fucking move past that stupid pile of crap and hopefully onto something better........................................................

Why so angry? :|

Not even a fan of the scene where Maryanne makes Tara and Eggs eat Daphne's heart? That scene was brilliant.
And I'm the exact opposite of you, I actually thought the scenes with the townsfolk putting their lives back together sometimes dragged and didn't feel necessary, while I loved the first half of the episode. The whole thing was very mixed though.

That scene reminded me of Titus Andronicus. :P

Honestly, I can't think of one thing that I've ever seen on TV, not scripted TV, not reality shows, nothing that I hate more than that stupid storyline. I hate that they wasted my time with it, and I hate that they felt that it was so "good" that they felt the need to dedicate 3 whole episodes to it, when there was a MUCH better storyline goting on before.

Maybe I over did it with my rant :P, but really, it was by far the worst part of the entire series IMO, and I'm glad it's over. Now hopefully the writers do something better with the series, that make up for that worrible piece of shit.

I think the war between vampires and humans, and the Fellowship Of the Sun storyline, is something that is going to be explored across several seasons and it is an overarching plot line in the books. And for that reason, I'm glad they left it where it was in episode 9 so that we can see more of it as the series continues.

She's absolutely horrible, and the fact that all of you, who generally have good taste in shows, actually like that garbage makes it even worse. :|
