I actually think that ended things nicely.
That was the worse chase ever and it totally fit this show.
Will miss this show. So sad.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense.
I thought it was a solid finale. Not a lot of over explaining like S1's finale. Not great, not bad but it did a solid job tying everything with a bow. I wonder what behind the scenes trivia TJ Bennett has to say about this episode.

Denise's explanation for her survival in the cryochamber was hilarious.

We finished shooting on December 6th.
Thanks for everyone who tuned in this season! Our ratings were abysmal and I know season 3 is not in the cards. Oh well, it was a fun two years for me!

I enjoyed the finale. The back half of this season really was a nice rebound from the terrible first half. Lots of funny moments.
I think Scream Queens overstayed its welcome (it's a great example of the "Too much of a good thing" adage) but I will still miss it.
The final moments were good though and I honestly don't see a much room for a third season anyway. Seems like they knew full well that a renewal was a long shot, so they decided to just wrap everything up neatly just in case. Which is very smart (and makes one wonder why more shows don't do that!), not to mention considerate to the fans.
But if the show somehow did get renewed for a third season, I'd like for it to be written as the definitive ending to the series with another reduced episode order (6 sounds about right). There's a lot of potential there for a season centering around Grace as the sole villain seeking revenge against the Chanels.

A true shame as it was a great romp but ultimately I don't think the conceit had legs.
S1 was definitely stronger than S2 but I don't think that was anything down to the cast or crew.
I'm intrigued TJ and you may not feel appropriate to comment - do you think it would have been better to adopt an anthology style approach to S2 where the same players returned as different characters?
Also, and I've not been following the thread so maybe answered, when marathoning this season it was weird in the choice to have many scenes where the cast were wearing sunglasses that reflected the camera crew in the outdoor scenes. It was obvious to the point it must have been a deliberate (almost i guess tongue in cheek) approach - any thought?
Hope you get an equally good next gig.
I want a Chad show, man that guy killed it.
Honestly the cage scene was awful. Scream Queens is no way a realistic shows, but you can always see the actors having fun. The acting during that scene was kinda bad because the way the characters acting felt forced even within the show. (Seriously, Zayday is not that stupid)
Denise' scene was hilarious, however."How's Hilary doing? First female president, eh?"
Also Casey's scene. "You could have just shoved her aside, you know"" "This is redemption for all the killings. Now he can be forgiven." "Yeah, I don't think this is how it works." LMAO
It also felt like the show didn't know what to do with Doctor Hot and Hester.
Number 5 turning out a secretly good doctor was my favorite part of the last two episodes.

Oh god, Denise's Hillary line. That was so painful. I mean, it was good, but it was painful. I was so afraid of how she would react when they told her the truth. I'm glad we didn't see that.
It's really nice that people in the show pointed out how stupid the whole "Getting in the way of the deadly projectile" thing was, and Sadie's responses made it even better. Though I'm still a little sad that she and Cassidy didn't get to have a happy ending. Because if unrepentant murderer Hester can get a happy ending, repentant Cassidy should've been able to, too.
And it's a damn good thing that Libby is a good doctor, because otherwise all those patients would be screwed with Zayday in charge. It didn't get nearly as much attention as Libby being a good doctor, but holy hell Zayday is a bad doctor. She was ready to perform a lobotomy to get rid of excess hair, and she misdiagnosed dehydration as kuru. I don't think I'd want her as my doctor.
There's still one thing that bugs me: Why did Chad change his will to leave Dean Munsch everything? It made sense when I thought she killed him and faked the change to his will, but since Wes did it, it makes no sense.

Anyway to get the show on FX or whatever? It cannot end like this, not when shit like PLL got like 7 seasons. Ryan Murphy has to FIGHT!

This so much PLL is crap. Scream Queens is one of my favorite shows, I'm watching the finale now.

Finished the season today. Stopped at episode 6 and waited for it to end so I can just watch the last 4. I definitely enjoyed the last half of this season a lot more than the first, although the finale felt a little lackluster to me, especially compared to episodes 9 and 8.
I think Chanel 5 ended up being my favorite character. Her turning out to be a genius was cool and it was cool that Wes showed up.
Some problems for me were Hester being pointless until the last couple of episodes. Also Zayday was kind of pushed aside as well. A lot of people didn't like Grace or thought she was too boring but I actually didn't mind her and thought Zayday and Grace made a good duo and played off each other well.
Overall I liked season 2 but yeah, it's not the level of season 1. Since it will most likely be cancelled I can say I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Are we all forgetting that one of the Chanels actually survived? Forgot her name but she was in the cage with everyone I think, then disappeared.
Pretty meh finale. Hester was useless all season even though Lea Michele got to act crazy and was good at it. John Stamos suddenly wanting to kill people was weird. Zayday was honestly pretty underused too. And they didn't tell us what Denise did post-waking-up-from-being-frozen.

Executive Producer of Lovin the C.
Also, no one has mentioned Number 5 confirming that
she does in fact have teeth in her vagina.
Oh yeah, the one who couldn't move her face. I was pleasantly surprised by her survival, though I don't remember her being in the cage. The last time I remember seeing her was when she was tending the garden.
She became the executive producer for Chanel Prime's show.
Somehow, Season 3 is still possible:

Absolutely this.
The talent on this show is fantastic but putting them in the same roles for S2 felt like a mistake
I definitely agree with the show being huge on Twitter. I count myself as one of the many people who would live tweet about the show. It was pretty fun discussing it with other fans even though I personally didn't know any friends who watched the show.
I'm all for a season 3 but I think the Tuesday at 9pm slot wouldn't work out. I think Friday at 9pm would be more ideal. I can only wonder how many more times the characters would be put into new scenarios before it starts to stagnate so I agree that it would work much better as an anthology. The season finale felt like a satisfying conclusion aside from the quasi-cliffhanger towards the end.
Just in case a season 3 is greenlit, my money is on the masked killer color being blue or yellow.

If it does get a third season, it being moved to Friday would be a safe bet. No way Fox would be that dumb to keep it on Tuesday or any other night that actually mattered.

Getting rid of Chad was a huge mistake. Bring him back, I don't care the excuse!
Billie Lourd also did an interview a month ago and talked about how her grandma was the inspiration for her portrayal of Chanel #3 and how she wanted her mom to be a guest star on an episode.

Mannnnn season 2 was such a let down and the last few episodes just felt mailed in. Still hoping for a season 3.

Chanel #5 is such a medical genius she figured out how to bring the dead back to life.
Genuinely surprised that this still has a chance of coming back. Hopefully, it does.
#5 was the best part of the last few episodes.

Ok, I did not want to bump the season 1 thread, so...
Holy fucking shit, I'm watching season 1 and this show is so funny.
Amazing!
Still no word on a season 3?

I'm going to guess we won't get one based on the ratings. But who knows. Maybe they will order another one.

Chances still looking slim but losing Hester isn't that big of a blow, she didn't really do anything in S2 or get too many memorable gags.
Count me in on a reset if they do get a Season 3. I love the Chanels but where they got left off this season doesn't sound as conductive to another season as all of them being sent to a asylum. Red devil tease was cool but obviously it was Grace.

Hester got her happy ending anyways
Yeah, Hester was just a troll in Season 2 so not much of a reason to have kept her around. I agree that Season 2 felt like a satisfying conclusion to the series. Hester made out clean and lived happily ever after.
Murphy would have to start a clean slate with a theoretical Season 3. I would miss Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis though. Maybe the summer camp idea would be great to return to.

The fact that no one in the website that I write for seems like they didn't watch it is telling. Riverdale has dominated discussion though. It's cool that it was trending on Twitter but maybe that's not enough to convince the higher ups at Fox that it translates into a renewal. Maybe Netflix would do an Arrested Development and pick it up somewhere down the line but that's wishful thinking unless Murphy owns the rights.
