I have to say that I actually thought the last two episodes were brilliant... I really did like the reveal about Violet (Mark anticipated it but, honestly, I didn't see it coming until she couldn't leave the house).
As for the last episode with the birthing scene, utter brilliance - I like how corporeal, sad, and lonely these ghosts are - Makes it a lot more "realistic" and different than other ghost stories that I have seen on film. And the concept of all of the ghosts coming together to deliver the baby - So incredibly and delightfully macabre. The end itself made my heart absolutely break.
I agree with NE - I think that that's the only direction that they can go in... And I think it's a good direction; I like the idea that next season will bring in a new family. Mark and I have been discussing this possibility pretty early into the show (essentially all I could think was, "Geez! Why the HELL won't they leave the house?! I don't know if I can suspend my disbelief that they would stay in that house." - I figured that the only way they could dispel my fears was to move a new family in... And if they all die, well, there's an avenue for our new family). I think it would be fantastic.
I love this show. I absolutely do. I didn't really feel a lull or lose interest as others stated - I think that it kept a good swift pace and didn't dwell too long... But at the same time it has overarching story arcs. It's an incredibly well-done show. I hope it keeps it up.
