One of my biggest peeves with S1 was the lack of any explanation for the supernatural, and it doesn't get addressed in BTS either. Rachel's scream, the fire extinguishing itself, Chloe's dreams predicting the future, the raven and William, etc. What does any of it mean?! *screams wind at developers*

That and Damon getting wrapped up off-screen, Elliot turning creepy for no reason (it was well done though), Rachel's abscence for most of the episode, and other minor issues (what did Nathan's story really amount to?) made it the least satisfying overall, but I did enjoy it.

To be honest I didn't find the change of James's story abstract since we didn't really know anything of him until the end of season two which gave us the "perfect family" picture slowly dying.I do agree though that he....became way too villain for a not so direct danger.Yeah meeting her real broken/unstable mom could affect Rachel but who acts that way "druggin an ex drug addict" just to not meet her child.If it was a direct threat I could understand the father trying to do all that crime-y things but that wasn't the case

I'm also dissapointed by the non-existant explanation about supernatural stuff,how she got the powers,butterfly,the deer.(William for me was more like dream/thoughts of chloe and not really supernatural).I was also suprised (in a neutral way) that we didn't get a more direct connection with the original at the end,i mean other than the 10 seconds final scene,i didn't see Chloe's loss on screen,which is somethin I would want to see.In other words I was expecting the final descicion to be more...complex and in a way choosing to change a part of the original(dont ask me how I m not the writer
