So basically all the other revived are still around? In the Salem’s Lot novel, the town gets blown to hell and the area is basically a no-go zone because there’s still a ton of vampires living in the ruins, I wonder if they’re going to keep the status quo for the next season and have the denizens of Castle Rock dealing with the cultists who still have control of Salem’s Lot.

So basically all the other revived are still around? Without their leader, Amity not going to come back, their statue's gone (and I guess their caskets are gone too) I guess they're pretty done for, but yeah that was my question as well. I get that Annie was the main character this season and all, but not even spending 30 seconds on what Nadia, Abdi, and Chance are doing was a bummer. Even if it was a conversation of 'Well, there's still some resurrected around, what are we going to do?' and implied they were going to go after the remaining ones (kind of like Ben and Mark in Salem's Lot) I'd have been fine with that. This show just can't stick an ending.

i feel like annie & joy's story came to its logical conclusion and was fine but i would have liked to have seen what happened to nadia&abdi&chance. maybe they'll show up in season 3 for at least a cameo now that we know the seasons are connected. and it's been a really long time since i read the original short story of salem's lot but wasn't the idea there that there was something EVEN WORSE underneath it all like a lovecraft style old god type thing or whatever? that would have been cool to explore maybe, although probably not enough time in 10 episodes to go any further with the cult than they did.

The original short story Jerusalem's Lot is Lovecraft-esque tale about a guy who moves to the area in the 1800s and eventually finds the abandoned town of Jerusalem's Lot. Eventually he gets to the church where he learns they were worshiping a giant worm monster which eats his butler (also the main character's family is somehow connected to the town and monster) and the guy runs back to his home where he thinks he's going crazy because he hears sounds in the walls. Then it cuts to modern times with a descendant of the first character moving into the house, finding the dead guy's journal and remarking that he does totally hear weird sounds in the walls too.

Wait I just realized there was a scene where the blind wife from Season 1 got killed. did that come out of nowhere or did it tie into something that I missed?

I felt bad I told people it was a stand alone season that had no connection to S1. I had a few friends who told me they were frustrated they didn’t find out who was being kept under Shawshank and I told them that was revealed in S1.

So, in confusingly semi-related news, Epix is making a series based on Jerusalem's Lot, the short story. Not 'Salem's Lot, the book.
