K.N.

The "stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody" line is a reference to Trump. It's a thing he actually said.

Bob Bittner

K.N.: And what I find so incomprehensible is that he seems to have actually been right.

I think of Verna more in line with the idea of the fae. She likes making bargains and seeing what humans will do and what they will give up. She is very chaotic neutral.

This was my second watch through of this series and I took away so much more this time. I’ve said it before, but I really love your insight and commentary on everything you react to. I wonder if there could have been any scenario where Verna forgave the deal. Specifically, if they would have done good in the world instead of destroying lives. However, I think she knew that wasn’t the direction they would go. I’m a bit sad this series is over.

Verna is not explicitly the devil, but she is a supernatural something like fate and karma, and an executor of both. While she manipulates events and tempts the Usher family, she isn't necessarily portrayed as evil. Some interpret her as the snake who caused mankind out of the garden of Eden. Something about temptations not being traditional devil figure. She’s mankind’s greatest enemy, the choices we make.

I think this last episode is an absolute masterpiece. I sent you a DM - so you can see my Madeline tattoo, if you want.

My absolute favorite scene of the series is between Roderick and Annabel Lee at the funeral. "The poverty of you...".

Not sure that anyone will see this at this point, but I have to say it... My favorite, laugh-out-loud moment of this episode and the series... When Verna is placing the mementos on the gravestones, and they are each deeply-meaningful callbacks to the characters and the episodes... and Frederick's is simply a bag of cocaine. Disrespect at EVERY turn.

Flanagan: King of monologues, story telling and casting. Thank you for another incredible series watch.

Absolutely brilliant series. Very much enjoyed watching this for for the second time in this way.

I'm a new member, and when I spotted this in your back catalogue, I couldn't help but smile. It's one of my favourite shows, and this is a classic Kat reaction. Given its age, I'm probably writing to no one, lol, but I have to say my only grievance with Mr Flanagan's choices is the apparent inconsistency in how collateral damage was handled around the children's deaths. Froderick ;) is married to Morella, and she suffers for her own decisions. She flirts with infidelity, even if it's never consummated, and we all knew what she intended when she ignored the gracious "out" Verna offered her. I understand her fate works as a plot device, steering the story towards Frod's own death. Moreover, she doesn't die, and it's ultimately revealed that her work goes on to help millions. Fair. Bill-T, by contrast, was married to Tamerlane yet escapes any consequence of her demise, as does Leo's partner. Camille had no partner, and her former assistants and lovers walk away unscathed, besides unemployment. Prospero's lovers, partners, business associates and friends (all of the above, really) die horribly and brutally alongside him. Then there's the one that makes the least sense to me: Dr Alessandra Ruiz, who is simply straight up murdered by Vic. Why such a stark disparity in their fates? Above all of this sits a larger question. Verna could have orchestrated the Ushers' downfall in a million different ways, she reveals as much to Frod, so why entangle those outside the bloodline at all? Having chosen to, why let their outcomes diverge so wildly? It still irks me to this day, lol. Anyway, that's my ramble. Fantastic as always, Kat. On to the next! :)
