“Thanks for offering this. I am a fan of Mike Flanagan, but when I heard Hamish Linklater was going to be it…I was super excited. I really enjoyed that actor in Legion and New Adventures of Old Christine. At first, I thought you were ok with the male characters who killed or harmed female characters while slamming main women characters yet once your favorite characters died, I was amazingly sympathetic! I did think that Erin’s speech at the end was her brain shutting down, not reliving a memory. Her dying psychedelic brain when to the man she loved. I felt Riley seeing the woman he killed was his dying brain making amends. I didn’t see Christianity in either of their deaths or a Heaven. I was hoping a few vampire characters would hide under something…were the buildings the only place they could go…they couldn’t hide under a tree? I also guessed the priest had a daughter with the once old woman. He seemed way too happy with the whole, “the things I can show you” laughing line episodes back…I was thinking they had to have hooked up! I agree with you that the girl saying she couldn’t feel her legs again was shorthand for the angel dying. I like how Flanagan doesn’t spell everything out. Plus, I think it was great he used stories to answer questions all biblical like. The Old Man did this too, which was a running gag in my watch party…to answer a simple question with a long winded story…or wait, not answer it at all! Again, thanks for this. Look forward to The Midnight Club recaps!”
