Any other fans of the show wake up this morning and still blown away with the season finale?

My absolute favorite and one of the few things I actually watch anymore.

And yes I was blown away because I could not imagine any way but one to conclude it. The ending surprised me and I thought they did a good job of leaving it open for a new season without being hackneyed.

Great actors, great photography (I particularly love the opening where they move from a close up of the tarot cards into historical film clips of the late 1930's and 40's.)

One of the best scenes (but most difficult to watch) was the tar and feathering. Cartoons in the 1950's made the term a house hold joke while I was growing up and I had NO earthly idea that when they did this to someone they used HOT TAR. OMG.

Very good show.

HBO on demand is the best! Didn't have to wait until later tonight. :)

That ending totally surprised me. I could not see a way they could extend it to a third season, but they did a good job.
