The Show Must Go On

Didn't feel like a season finale. Felt like the ending to the greatest R-rated Disney movie. Literally: the great songs, striking animation, conclusion to character arcs as well as making room for new ones (including a teased character finally appearing). Outstanding work by all the VAs as usual, especially Erika, Alex and Jessica. Though the plot of the first season reached a conclusion, the story is just getting started, like Lucifer said. Overall: awesome job, Viv, you're an inspiration to countless people right now. Keep going. On a closing note, I wonder what the future holds for the hotel, Alastor's schemes and Lute's revenge on Charlie and Vaggie. I suppose no other way to find out but wait... or cryogenically freeze myself until the day of the premiere. Guess which one I'm doing.

Its a thrilling conclusion with fun songs, great character moments, and a massive battle. What more is there to say. Really though, this was probably the best episode of the first season for me. Not only is there a super fun battle, but we finally get reveals on certain characters that we've been waiting on for years. While there is certainly still much mystery abound, the reveals in this episode make me eager to follow up on them in a second season(I'm glad we are getting one). This episode also just does a great job of incorporating all the characters. From the hotel residents, to Heaven, to Alastor, and the others in Hell, everyone gets their time to shine. A great episode, and a great way to finish off season 1.

This season finale is awesome. One of my favorite moments of this season finale is when Sir Pentious passionately kissed Cherri Bomb on the lips and declaring his love for her before he went to make his heroic sacrifice against Adam. It's heartwarming that Cherri Bomb actually finally reciprocates Sir Pentious' romantic feelings for her after being initially dismissive towards him. It really says something that Cherri Bomb was also horrified that Sir Pentious was vaporized by Adam and even screamed the word no, but lower while Charlie's screaming of the word no was higher. Cherri Bomb finally loved Sir Pentious back to the point where even she was saddened about his death.
