If you're a real fan of SK, ignore any bad review of this episode/season. Are the citizens of castle rock left behind with no ends nicely tied up yes, but this season started with Annie & Joy and ends that way. I never thought there would be an Annie Wilkes origin story but there is and it's awesome! Joy did exist, as multiple characters interacted with her, so she's not a hallucination. Which makes Annie's orgin story even more interesting. The montage towards the end shows Annie reading at least 3 different Paul Sheldon "misery" books so ignore that person's review about how she read one book & was his #1 fan. Love how the haters watch a show and criticize everything, the fans watch and are just happy it was actually made into a tv series to watch!! Main focus of this season was Annie. If Lizzy Caplan doesn't win every award in her category I will be VERY disappointed!! From "little love" to "dirty bird" down to the way Kathy Bates walked when she played Annie, Lizzy did it all. I was blown away at how much she just nailed it. Any true fan knows no book is adapted to tv/film perfectly, far from perfect most, but this isn't even a book, it's a bunch of writers creating a tv show based on one city an (amazing) author created. Looking forward to season 3.
