Man this is awful. It was going so well up until this last episode.
Totally disagree. This is genius.
Look at these wrong opinions.

I think it's utterly perfect and brilliant. I was so sure it was Grace hahaha. Hester and Chanel No5 were my runners ups, but I am still slack-jawed at the stupidity and fun on display. This is amazing hahaha.

I agree. I loved his character. The Radwells were awesome.

And lol at 4 of them surviving.

So, the question must be asked: Now that the season is done, where do you guys sit on Scream Queens?
And would you watch Summer Camp if that actually goes through?

Pete and Boone killed shit tons of people, and Hester walks free. It's goddamn chilling and evil as fuck hahahaha. Goddamn what an ending.
Agreed 150%.. so much lost potential.
Prior to the finale, the doofiness was mostly contained to Chanel #2's death.
Went from being a must see to garbage for me.

I've loved almost every episode, but didn't enjoy this finale. Grace's dad and the dean was amazing, but the complete lack of tension combined with the lack of laughs in the second hour just bored me.

Loved it, I'll be crushed if we don't get more.
Well, I've loved the series overall, but not a great fan of the finale. Some good-great bits here and there, but a bit of a fumble for me. Not really interested in a continuation of the series without the Chanels, to be honest. Grace was the worst thing about the show, Zayday might as well have not been there, and Hester was only fun when she was completely over the top.

It's who I was expecting since episode 4, wrote on why a few weeks ago here:
(some of that didn't fall through but some of my reasons for suspicion, especially the last few, were justified it seems.)
On-top of this, in the Ghost Stories episode, in the scene where they're telling the ghost story of the woman driving home with the killer in the backseat, the song playing on the radio is literally singing about, "Butcher Pete." And how he, "Kills all the women meat."
But I thought he was the sibling, not he took up the role, though that fits with the theory some had someone else became the killer when the killings started.

Well I sure didn't see it coming haha. Bravo. Seriously I never truly suspected Pete. But I expected that the female baby was the other main killer. I didn't think that Boone AND Pete were the Red Devil murderers all along. We were so hung up on the sister, that we thought about every girl's whereabouts during the killings haha...Except we weren't looking at the right place.
Seeing Chanel #3 with the actual earbuns instead of the head phones was the icing on this awesome cake of a series.
Really enjoyed the finale and the series as a whole. Hopefully they make another and its at least as half as good as this was. To be deprived of more #3 and Emma Roberts would be just too much to handle.

Have to admit I was a bit let down that it ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger. It felt anti-climatic and wasn't quite the bang I was expecting but then again, the show has always been subverting expectations.
At least Chad got some screen time and a hilarious last laugh in the memorial. The show's zaniness and tongue-in-cheek characters is what keeps it going. If there's a Season 2 and the remaining Chanels are killed off, it's going to be a bit of let down going forward. I have faith it'll be good either way if it keeps the self-awareness and ridiculousness. Gotta wonder if they're gonna wrap up the Red Devil half way through a Season 2 and introduce a new masked killer in the second half.

Oh yeah, the summercamp stuff you guys have been talking about! Interesting. I expect plenty of Friday the 13th references and a Jaws reference.

The things we know if a second season happens is that it will be summer camp themed, and the main cast will be more varied in age... The said summer camp would include things like tweens, adult consumers, and the like as part of the camp roster. And we know a few survivors from the first season would be in it as well, at the very least four of them.
I'd assume the returning cast would be counselors for the camp. More Chanel and Chad would be great.
This is what I'm assuming as well which would be fitting for the setting since it would set up some hilarious rivalries and prank scenarios. And Jamie Lee Curtis has been hilarious so hopefully she returns to be a foil.
Holy shit @ Chanel's email rant. LOOOOOOOL
Apparently this is the real life inspiration for the rant

Well, all of the characters I wanted to survive, did survive, so I suppose I'm satisfied. It would have really bothered me that the real killer didn't get brought to justice, but that last exchange between Hester and Dean Munsch is worth Hester getting away with it.
Pity about Sadie ending up in an asylum along with the other Chanels, but at least she seems okay with it. I would have thought that at least her rich-guy-who-thinks-he's-her-father would have bribed her out of it, though. Maybe she didn't bother asking him.
But that last scene... definitely a poor note to end the season on. I hate it when horror movies play that trope, and I'm not happy about it here. But at least it confirms once and for all that Chanel was the main character, since that sort of thing only ever happens to the main character.
Notes for the next season: More Chad Radwell. I don't know how you can possibly justify someone as rich as him having any involvement in a summer camp, but there needs to be more of him.

After Thanksgiving she wanted nothing to do with her family.

I totally fucked up tonight.. I watched 13 before 12 due to me thinking 12 was last week episode...
No wonder I was mad at the way they reveal the killer in episode 13

Ep 12 was the best of the series and 13 one of the worst (while still entertaining), but the whole reveal while funny killed any tension for the episode. I'd have been ok if it wasn't for that cliffhanger button as the whole court room scene on was hilarious and I kinda liked that the Chanels looked like they were going to get a happy ending of sorts. The button is lame in most horror movies that play it straight it's worse in horror movies that are so brutally self-aware.
Though as I typed this I'm kinda ok with revealing Hester the way they did because she was so obviously the killer that that was literally the only thing that made people guess anyone else, so having her just monologue it is kinda cool because a shock reveal would have been a lame well duh sort of thing.
I think the biggest issue I have is that the two honestly lamest boring characters ended up being just that lame and boring. Neither Zayday or Grace did anything remotely entertaining and them having some sort of darkside would have been the only thing to make them worth it. Especially if they become our main characters for season 2 (That may never happen, all the more reason that button on the end is fucking lame, though I suppose that can easily be undone in season 2).
All the Pete stuff was fucking brilliant though. As were all the Hester flashbacks.
Also needed more Chad Radwell.
Also it's funny for a show that promised a death per episode the finale was super bloodless (honestly did anyone actually die other than the cut to black maybe kill of Chanel Oberlin?) and in the end none of the actual main cast died, like none of them. Not even the Dean or Grace's Dad, nobody we actually spent any real time with actually fucking died.
Weird finale in that I can't hate it because it was hilarious but that I can't love it because it was largely unsatisfying.
Plus who actually killed Gigi (they made it sounds like Hester only killed Pete) but maybe she meant specifically on the memorial.
Highlight was Chanel #3 just immediately accepting that she had a split personality with a ridiculous name, totally explains why she just believed Boone was a ghost. Other highlight was the reveal that even Neckbrace Hester was a character, the behaviour shift when Hester was her real self and not either Chanel #6 or Neckbrace was beautiful acting. I dug that a lit and made her being the killer more enjoyable. I like that she turns out to be kinda brilliant instead of just crazy
In the end great series and nothing the finale did made the rest of it not worth it and I think maybe even rewatching the series with that ending in mind will make me enjoy the finale more. I guess I was just expecting something a little bit more batshit.

I'm amazed how misogynistic the rant was. But then again that's been Chanel all along.

I think I have to look at this show like I look at Lost, great character stuff with unsatisfying answers to the big mysteries.
