This is spoiler-ridden so if you haven't watched Season 3 yet, stop reading this now.

Was I the only one driven completely nuts by the last 2 episodes of Season 3? It was as if all of the characters completely abandoned logic and sanity and they all travelled deep in the land of stupid! The second to last episode ends with this exchange between Annie and Mitchell (paraphrasing):

Annie: "Mitchell, you need to turn yourself in. The Boxcar 20 need justice."

Mitchell: "Are you mad? The world will know about vampires, which will lead them to werewolves and ghosts. We'll all be hunted."

Annie: "It's OK. I love you!"

Mitchell: "When we're hunted, not only will vampires and werewolves be slaughtered but thousands, maybe millions, of humans will die. Don't you get that you stupid twit?!"

Annie: "It's OK, we'll be together."

Mitchell: "Bullocks! You really are that stupid! Oh well, if I'm going to die anyway I may as well make you happy." And Mitchell surrenders to the cops. So Annie, being so concerned about the deaths of 20 people, unilaterally makes a decision that will affect the WHOLE WORLD and she has no problem with it? WTF?! Then there's Harrick getting his mojo back. How in the hell was Harrick, without his memories or knowledge of his nature as a vampire, able to kill a fully transformed werewolf yet later on WITH his memores, NOT be able to finish off a HUMAN Nina?!

Fast forward to the last episode. Harrick is killing everyone inside the jail to get Mitchell out and Annie is insisting that Mitchell stay because "the killing needs to stop". So Mitchell being in jail is causing killing, so in Annie's mind this is fixed... by Mitchell staying in jail? What a dumb whore! Then Harrick captures George and Mitchell and puts them in the cage, then he lets George know that Nina is dead and George blames... MITCHELL!!! He jumps Mitchell and says, "You killed my Nina." WHAT?! NO! Harrick "killed" Nina and was only able to do it because no one listened to Mitchell in the FIRST PLACE and staked Harrick at first sight. They all turned on Mitchell for Harrick's sake and now that Mitchell proved to be right, they're all blaming Mitchell!? The stupidity is just outstanding!!!

Then we take a trip to purgatory and Annie meets the ghost that's plotting against Mitchell. Now after Annie wanted Mitchell to surrender to police for the sake of the Boxcar 20 receiving justice, Annie actually meets a member of the Boxcar 20 and tells her... that she's WRONG for wanting revenge?!?! Annie nearly destroys the world by outing supernatural beings to humanity for the sake of the Boxcar 20 then LECTURES to a member of that group for wanting payback?! Who appointed Annie to be high judge of morality all of a sudden? At this point I'm spitting mad at my TV screen and I'm fully understanding why Owen threw Annie down the stairs. Then we're in a car with Mitchell and Harrick. Let me get this straight... after Harrick set up plans for world domination, arranged to be brought back from the dead after a werewolf attack (BTW, how was Harrick able to plan to survive a werewolf attack when George's confronting Harrick @ the end of Season 1 was supposed to be a surprise?), and killed a ton of cops to get Mitchell back; after Harrick did all that, he just sits there and LETS Mitchell stake him with no resistance and a smile on his face?! HUH?!?!?!

Finally we're back to the house the 4 main characters and George is telling Mitchell he can't stay because he can't forgive Mitchell for the Boxcar 20, even though we learned from the scene when Mitchell and George were locked in the cage that George suspected Mitchell all along. So George can't forgive Mitchell and can't be around him anymore because Mitchell did something that George... KNEW HE DID ALL ALONG!?!? At this point I have completely abandoned trying to actually think and I have shut my brain off and just want to see how this ends since I've invested so much time. Then we get our first look @ a vampire Elder and I'm hoping things take a turn for the better and Mitchell gets staked. I'm actually happy for Mitchell at this point because he was the only with a functioning brain this whole time and he's finally free of the other 3 idiots. Then the 3 remaining housemates get all big and bad and call out a 1,000 year old vampire?! They're going to give him a "war" without any vampire backup and no full moon?! HAHAHAHA!!!!

For more than 2 seasons, these were sympathetic characters that were trying to adjust to their roles in the world and were very confused, scared and they needed each other to survive. That bonding is what made the show great. Now Annie is the arbiter of all things moral, they don't need Mitchell, and the 2 werewolves don't even have to transform anymore to be able to declare war on vampires?! I'm fully convinced that the writers of this show were smoking crack while they wrote this ending.

COMPLETELY agree with the OP. The same thoughts ran through my mind while watching. Great show but, without Mitchell, I really don't see myself continuing to watch. Can't stand Nina, and the comraderie of the three is what made the story. They balanced each other out -- and I just don't think I can watch Annie's "Sally sunshine" and George's cowardly lion run amok without Mitch to tone them down.

Annie and George's reaction are that of people who are confused and at a loss what to do. It's illogical to expect them to think and act like rational people in this situation. They just found out beyond a shadow of doubt that their best friend/boyfriend murdered 20 innocent people in cold blood and George also believed Nina was dead and Mitchell is responsible in that he sought to get Herrick's memories back in hopes of resurrection . Besides that, Herrick did not plan to get killed by George. It was a way for him to get resurrected if he was killed before achieving his dreams. But it works only if there's a body to resurrect so Mitchell surprised and staked him(note that nobody is perfect. They do let their guards down, hold back and so on. Besides, Nina seemed to have survived more because she's a werewolf and Annie's timely "Deus Ex Machina"). I didn't exactly agree with George about Herrick and I'm not the biggest fan of Nina but I doubt you would have the stomach to kill an oblivious amnesiac if put to it. Also, George was willing to forgive Mitchell despite all this and even after Annie and Nina's insistence that they kill him. Mitchell was unwilling to forgive himself. My biggest problem is that instead of something more original, they turn Wyndham into another Hitler wannabe like Herrick.

I really don't think I could have put this any better.

That's an understatement! If the first episode's anything to go by, BH seems to have turned into a cross between Underworld and Terminator. Instead of our three housemates struggling to cope with real life situations, which is what made the show so good, we have an hour of drivel about ancient prophesies and war babies. And what are these carbon-copy 1950s housemates all about?Is this the most original thing they could come up with? I was looking forward to seeing the housemates cope with some of the human dilemmas they faced so brilliantly in the first three seasons; instead, we get halfa dozen vampires in a shed in Barry plottingto bring about Ragnarok!As if! And to cap it all off, they have just killed off the reasonIwatched the show in the first place. Over and very much out!
