User blog:Cartoonprincess/HOA Finale Review ^.^

 NOTE : 'Before I begin this rant, I should probably just put it out there that I don' t'' alw  ays pay the most attention to detail. Therefore, it's possible that some of the things I'm about to mention have already been explained or clarified. xP'''

Overall, I liked the finale, but I felt like it could have been better. I didn't think it was really worth the hype.

I don't exactly know where to start.

First off, they didn't go into enough depth about Eddie being Osirion. When I first saw that, I was like, '"...What?!" It made me mad that Patricia didn't just explain' everything to Eddie and Mara. That way, they could have been of more help and Mara would have been able to spend more time with Jerome.

Also, while I was glad to see Joy and Nina getting along, I feel like they did not get enough clousure. A hug between the two of them would have been nice. Joy barely even had a real presence throughout the episode. They could have at least prolonged her near death experience and make things a little more dramatic.

Speaking of clousure, it annoyed me so much when Poppy interrupted Mick and Mara when they were about to talk. If Mara had been given a chance to tell Mick the truth, she would not have looked like such a cheater at the end of the episode. It made her look bad, when in reality, she had stayed loyal to him for as long as she could. Not to mention that we could have gotten some intense Mick/Jerome interaction.

Another thing that annoyed me was the fact that Jerome didn't make it to his dad's hearing. He was pretty much useless to the primary plot after he was saved.

Above all else, it just felt rushed. An hour is plenty of time to fit in all the things I mentioned. They should have aired it with limited commercials like last time. No one wants to see Fred anyway.


 * sigh* Perhaps I'm asking for too much...

Anyway, I'm curious to see what Season 3 has in store. I hope they're not too quick to break up the couples, this time around. xP
