Fantastical Musings

Now THAT was an excellent finale.   We got a little bit of everything in this episode: drama, emotion, and action. It felt very satisfying and balanced; I think this was an excellent piece of television writing. First of all, I have to say BRAVO to the Locke kids for defeating Gabe/Dodge. Their plan of attack was very clever and it was fairly well executed too. Obviously they made some mistakes (like letting the shadow crown go into the ocean and all that jazz), but overall I was impressed.  That whole fight sequence was EPIC.

I mean, it was just awful to see Jackie die in Tyler's arms, especially after he worked so hard to save her. It was pretty heartbreaking.  I'm wondering if everyone who is infected with the demonic energy dies after they lose their demons. It could be a side effect of the demon-freeing key or it could be the fact that the demons damage the human body
