Also, nothing special with the daughter? She essentially just didn't like Arkansas? Why not just freaking make that clear before instead of making it an entire red herring.
Yeah, wtf was that about? She just shows up and everything is cool? Also agree with what you said about Amelia. Huge letdown with her story arc.
Wayne fricked over Roland big time in the end, after they just made up for Wayne fricking him over a couple other times. How do you end this fricking show with Wayne keeping that from Roland?
We never found out who Wayne apologized to in the room with the dead people. It definitely wasn’t Harris James. Wayne didn’t kill Harris, and wouldn’t apologize to him.
The Eliza thing just died with no explanation. Didn’t even factor into the finale.
And I agree with the person who said how fricked up it was that the little girl was named after the mother. Seriously? Her dad died trying to find her, and we are left with him being shite on and killed, and the mother being honored.
Felt like this finale shite on everyone who watched this season.

They know the reputation of the show, and that it thrives off of internet conspiracy theories and people trying to put pieces together, and it seems like they used that to toy with people and instead write a basic, straight forward story.

So, did they just skip over what happened to Amelia?
Frustrates me the most. For such a large part of the story, you leave that untied??

The entire episode I was waiting for it to be revealed that this was a repeating cycle. That Hayes' has done this over and over and over again.
Or that they killed all these people in the 90s and he just doesn't know it.
Shite, I even thought maybe the last scene would show him getting killed in Nam, and this whole situation was a bizarre dying sequence.
Nope. Straight up no twists, no turns, just what everyone thought was gonna happen since episode 4.
Also, this all powerful family figures out that Hayes killed their man in 1990, the man that they had murder all of these people, and doesn't frag his arse in the next 25 years? After all the murder and awful stuff they've done? What?
The more I think about the plot of this show, the more and more the straight forward ending makes less and less sense. So you murder a man with your partner, and NOBODY questions you both, or the fact that you know, haven't spoken to each other in 25 years? Come on.

Westworld and True Detective must use the same staff writers.

Did anyone else think about the Lithium when he drank the water? It was like he was checking to see.

It wasn’t a bad ending, it just wasn’t mind blowing. It basically took what felt like was this big conspiracy for 7 episodes and boiled it down to Hoyt was a drunk grieving father and husband (not some pedophile satanist like in season 1), his daughter was insane and classism validated their paying for a junkie’s child with whom to play house, James was the only seemingly evil person of the bunch and he was offed rather quickly last episode, and everyone else got as happy an ending as they could have hoped for.
In a way, I think it kind of thumbed it’s nose at the weekly conspiracy theorists as the ultimate truth was really underwhelming compared to what the reporter was thinking it could all be tied into. What felt like fan service with the season 1 nod now feels like a way of saying sometimes a mystery is just a self contained mystery and it doesn’t have to tie into anything else (which isn’t as satisfying for a tv audience but I digress).

Forgot to mention, the scenario that ultimately gave us the ending of Wayne finding Julie, was a book falling on the ground, somehow falling open right to the page about Mike, then Wayne’s ghost wife explaining it all to him. This literally happened. This is how we found Julie Purcell.
Posted on 2/24/19 at 10:11 pm to landrywasbeast30
Yeah. So Tom Purcell really got just shite on.
His character struggled and overcame the disappearance of his daughter, the death of his son, his tramp drunk druggie wife, his own sexuality, and the constant media scrutiny.
Only to be eventually blamed for the death of his son and daughter, and then being murdered at the hands of the family responsible for everything wrong with his life.
So...he got no justice at all. Also, was the AD in on the whole thing the whole time?
Or was he just an awful, politely scared AD? That was never answered. And I guess the whole case for Lucy being alive was swept under the rug? Like Lucy is alive we have a lawsuit with the Indian Guys family oh look Tom committed suicide he killed the son and the daughter is just somewhere

Was I the only one hoping the owner of Ardoin Lawn Service was this mans cousin and Julie still was stuck in the Tuttle cult. I been hoping they connected the dots between each season some how to give us a wide national conspiracy intertwining the seasons.

Yeh Tom Purcell got corpse raped
Naming the daughter Lucy was the icing on the cake

what happened by episode 3. 4 at the latest.
Yeah Ryno, I’m sure you nailed that Isabela was feeding Julie lithium for her entire childhood.
You’re such a fricking troll on every goddamn board on this site.

Didn’t even think about this. They tied this case to season 1 and this giant conspiracy, and all of that ended up having nothing to do with nothing.

I'm halfway through. So damn good.

Wasn't she fed lithium for 10 years while being trapped in a compound? Perhaps she doesn't know the severity of how screwed up her mom was and maybe only knew her moms name by that point.

Michael Rooker was Hoyt 
He looked more like white trash than a fricking multi millionaire

I don’t know now how the reporter role can be interpreted as anything other than a stand in for us, the audience, given that she was kind of right but also way overthinking something that turned out to be somewhat basic and small scale
