I'm not sure what to make of it, but I wouldn't doubt that Ryan Murphy is playing in a much bigger sandbox and all of it will make sense in the end. Sure, it might not sit well with people (myself included) that want immediate answers and resolutions. But I am going to go into Season 2 with the idea Ryan knows what he is doing. I hope.

Having said that, AHS was nominated for a mini-series for this years Emmy's Award Show. So, in the eyes of the voters, Season 1 had a clear enough resolution to get the nomination for that instead of a regular series. Go figure.
