Re: Storm of the Century (anyone else not like ending?)

 I agree the ending left me really mad. It’s not that the boy was taken or that it was a sad ending. It was the whole, “Molly and Hatch got married and I hope they’re really happy!” Fuck that bullshit. So unbelievable. There was no vindication for the side rooting for Mike. Mike just gets fucked over and he doesn’t even get to tell of the towns person. Then, he gets a perfect chance with Hatch who he isn’t really mean to at all. I’m sorry. You can spout off how Mike was strong to forgive and wish happiness. I don’t think it has anything to do with that. Especially when Hatch has the bull to say, “If it makes you feel any better, we think we made the wrong choice.” Just that sentence alone he deserves to be punch right in the fucking face. Screw the towns people. They all suck. Mikes the only redeeming character and he doesn’t get nearly enough in the end after losing his son. The rest are pedophiles, homophobes, or hypocrites. Fuck em all. Lol.
