Ok.
So this whole season, getting to know and love characters and the relationships between them, was just a waste?
Just a one piece and an easy-way out?
(Yeah the writers of Lost can probably relate to you Murphs, they also had trouble finishing what they started..)
Seriously - f**k off.

This is brutal news - this show was my favorite on TV right up to the last episode and then it felt incredibly rushed - Ben's death was anti-climatic, Vivian disregarded her baby despite moments ago convincing Ben not to kill himself - we are really going to end with the Harmon's setting up a Christmas tree? Not to mention that the loss of McDermott is going to be brutal to the show as well as the other cast of characters - the stage was set so nicely and they just threw it away in my opinion.
Really hope I am proved wrong with season 2 but they sure have their work cut out for them.

Could "motherhood" be the 2nd season's theme? The last three episodes were indeed focused on "mothers" and "children"...
By the way, I found a little "gap" in the screenplay: in order to steal and raise her nephew, Constance made the whole world believe that Violet ran away with her newborn brother, but the her friend (the medium) knew that Violet was dead, so she could report Constance's lie and secret to the police... I thought Constance would meet her at the hairdresser's, but unfortunately the medium seemed vanished.

It's just right that they ended the Harmon's story coz if they didn't, it wont be scary or thrilling anymore since most mysteries in the story have already been unconcealed. Plus, we already know that the Harmon's and the other good ghost are there to protect the new occupants of the house.... It just sucks that I have learned to love the se 1 characters and they are not coming back in season 2.

I say two thumbs way up! Looking forward to an all new story with an all new casts. I think this is a very cool way of doing a tv series and once the writing stays as good as the Harmon's story , then I think we're gonna have a fantastic ride

This is just awful. I understand the need to keep the show interesting, but to entirely discard all of the previous plot and characters is mind numbing. Why, then, would anyone watch season 2? So that they can watch another cast die off...if it is changed each season, then there is no suspense. Half the fun was watching the traditional rules of tv be broken and wondering how the show would continue on. Oh and there were all the lose ends....ie the 3 year old anti Christ running around and the other two dozen characters besides the harmons agendas. I'm very disappointed.
Aww. I'm sad I won't see the Harmons, Moira, Chad and Patrick and Tate anymore. But like I said, that's a proper way to finish a horror series. Leave some loose ends here and there.

I'm guessing a prison's a good guess. That medium mentionned that those were haunted too, often

I think Viv's sisters place in IL right ?? Maybe it will revolve around Viv's sister or something , because they did say the stories will "overlap" . hmm?

@Spookypaws - the House is obviously built on a Hollywood set of an old Indian burial ground. Jeez, do they have to spell everything out for you ;)

I like how they ending the season like a good horror movie. they gave you closer without giving you full closer, to leave you wondering what just might happen in the future. Lets face it no story is ever fully over with. Life and the after-life goes on and on and on. . . .

That is wrong on so many levels. There are way too many unanswered questions in Season 1 with the same characters, to just completely drop them and focus on new ones. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE HOUSE RYAN MURPHY???? Why can't they ever leave??? And what's with Tate's baby? Seriously.....

Hey - you know which place they mention in the last three episodes? Florida. I always say Florida is a nice place, but they should bury their dead.

It seems some people just can't let go. In fact this is a fantastic way to run the series as we won't slowly get endeared to bad characters requiring the writers to write them good, eg. Sue Sylvester. It also meant that the finale didn't have to be a cliffhanger but a proper denoument and, dare I say it, happy ending for the whole series.
If the new cast are anywhere near as good as this one then bring on AHS2012. I want to see a whole "cabin in the woods" scenario like "Evil Dead" - now that would be bats**t scary as a series as each week a new group discovered the cabin.

i. just. can't.
no tate/violet anymore, thats like watching a show what got cancelled
If they had done this with Heroes, the series will be saved. There comes a time when you need to explore new stories in diferents places but with the same mythology. That being said, PLEASE BRING BACK VIOLET!!!

@Dexter Idolizer: If they do, it will be as different characters. I was on the call and Murphy was clear: everything about this season is history.

Murphy said the clue was where the 2nd season will be not what it will be. And in the final three episodes the only place that is mentioned is the prison in Illinois. And Murphy said there would be american crime involved. So there is your answer!! Its not technically the prison but the 2nd season will take place somewhere in Illinois!

I assume Jessica Lange will return and possibly Dennis O'Hare.
