This show really needs to use its resources better if it wants to survive. The show is supposed to be about vampires and werewolves and witches in a collective fashion, but it fails to address the first two and shows the witches as extremely gullible people who are mainly tools. I cannot remember the last time I have seen an effective vampire in this show, and I think that they forgot that werewolves exist in this show.

The finale was a mixture of many materials. First, some very childish fairytale world with horrible costumes. I really believe that this show needs to recruit better sculptors and give them more budget. Second, a very bad story of heroism from Hope that lacked a certain goal. I never understood why she was so helpless in the face of the evil Josie, while she is a strong witch. She has the highest potential for growth because she is The Tribrid for christ's sake. She has not activated her vampire side yet and forgot how to use her other two sides. Third, this finale had some unimportant and useless story about some monster that even the cast are not taking serious, and a tar pit that I have no idea how survived past the first season. Finally, some terrible teenage crap and crushes that never seem to find their proper path. Sure, I am up for some good romance, but this show has tons of aimless romance between minor casts and one equally aimless and meaningless one between the main characters. It is as if the writers constantly try to say that the love between Landon and Hope is epic, but fail to make it believable. I think that these two characters have the most forced relationship among all.

This show has very powerful potential for growth with the Tribrid and the Merge. I think it's time to dive into these stories and let go of the sub-stories of the necromancer and the malivore. I did not enjoy this finale and hope they do better job in the next season.

I'm curious to know what silly new ploys, writers will pull to get out of this... After that blatant Dark Willow rip-off, season 2 ends in a more or less passable way. With Hope, stuck in Josie's subconscious. Which is basically a bad rerun of Once Upon a Time. Landon, is still a vegetable. And Lizzie, faking her own death. That part was fun. Were the only true upsides of that episode. The simpletons politics, and way of keeping overvalued characters around. Destroyed all of that. But coming from a show produced by Juli Plague, it's a given I guess...
