This Week’s Season Finale of “Chucky” Will Be a Super-Sized 90 Minutes!

The debut season of Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” series comes to an end this Tuesday, November 30, with Chucky’s master plan finally being revealed in “An Affair to Dismember.” In the Season Finale, “Scores old and new will be settled, and sparks will fly, as Chucky’s diabolical plan comes to fruition...

I don't think they will, but I hope they don't kill Andy. No "passing of the torch" stuff, I hate it when OG characters get killed off. Andy's been through a lifetime of trauma, he deserves a happy ending. Alex Vincent's delivery doesn't even bother me, I still love seeing him back as the character. Would take him any day over someone else with the acting chops recast in the role, and I'm glad Don Mancini clearly thought the same.

I'll be honest, as much as I love that they keep the character around, he's so boring and Vincent's acting is so bad that I don't really care whether he lives or dies.

I know Andy's kind of monotone but it fits. Dude has been repeatedly traumatized since he was a kid and probably depressed for most of his life. The way I think about it he's one of the most victimized people in the show and it's kind of sad to see him like this as an adult.
Yeah thats how I take it. The monotone is intentional, Andy is a wreck.

Tbh I was getting a stronger feeling that Kyle is gonna die than Andy. Which would annoy me a lot more. If one of them goes then I hope it's Andy.

No way Andy's deadpan is intentional. The guy can't act, it nearly took me out of what was happening. He's set-up for death in the cliffhanger, but Chucky doesn't have the best track record, so I think he'll live another day.

So how were we meant to understand the great doll awakening was because Junior killed someone?

I mean, I'm all in at this point but just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something that was intentional.

(I still don't like what Cult ended up doing with the mythos).

This is a 'me' problem for sure though.

It wasn't explicitly said, but Jake and Lexy were openly wondering what Chucky has to gain from getting the kids to kill when he's so capable of killing on his own which was followed by Chucky expressing his relief to Junior that he finally got one of the kids to kill like right next to a shot of the Chucky army waking up. There was some heavy implication going on.

You all 'got the beat' and I thank you.

Next question, we haven't seen him in that toy store yet, the one from the preview screens?

Or have we.

Tiffany did say that was wanted to make sure Nica is able to stay in the driver's seat so maybe she'll thwart whatever he has planned before it's too late?

I wonder where the ratings stand now. The last news we got had it up there with some pretty big name shows.

Yeah, and it's honestly kind of a shame because bringing back the original actor is pretty cool. But if he's gonna stick around they should really hire an acting/dialogue coach for him.

Vincent's acting, although bad, doesn't really bother me. The role doesn't really call for much range, unlike Nica and such. As long as the Dourifs are there to balance him out, he can Hal 9000 that shit for as long as he wants.

Actually, Hal was much more expressive, haha.

New theory: Andy lives, but all the murders are pinned on him. He has a history that got him instituted in the first place and the town is littered with dolls related to that.

Not reading reviews either, but "leaves you ready for season 2" makes it sound like it ends on some sort of cliffhanger, so I'm glad it was renewed.

Seems like Chucky stuff ends on cliff hangers as much as it doesn't (at least these days) so I certainly wasn't expecting a giant bow on everything. I'm mainly interested to see if Jake and friends get their story all wrapped up tonight or not.

Yeah, I was thinking more in regards to Jake and company. I'm expecting we'll be left with threads still hanging. I know some people would prefer an anthology style show, but as of now I don't except them to change the cast from one season to the next.

Whether Don planned out all the stuff with Nica being paraplegic, it certainly feels like something that was put in place from the very beginning with regards to it being used to signify whether or not Chucky is in control. If it was conceived after Curse of Chucky, it feels completely organic. I'm sure there'll be compelling things he can do with these characters and this cast. Heck, there's no way any of the madness that we currently have was planned when Jennifer Tilly was first cast as Tiffany.

Basically, I trust in Don.

Agreed. I like the new characters and want to keep following them. All the movies kept building on what came before, so there's no reason why he can't do the same here. The TV format is perfect for it too.

I wouldn't mind dumping most of the new characters. They're great but I just feel like they're going the Andy route again if they keep them around and have them constantly fighting with Chucky. Not that I want to get rid of them but I wouldn't mind a big change in scenery and what not for the next season.

I don't think a show has ever made me flip harder on a character than with Lexy. Went from being someone I was desperately wishing Chucky would take down in the third episode to being my favorite character who I want to see triumph.

This fucking franchise, y'all. Nothing like it, nothing better.

[Review] “Chucky” Season Finale Leaves You Ready for Season 2 With a Smile On Your Face

A lot of ground has been covered in just seven episodes of Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” series. Jake Wheeler (Zackary Arthur) overcame his isolation and rage to find a family in Lexy (Alyvia Alyn Lind) and Devon (Bjorgvin Arnarson). Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) once again found herself struggling to get...

Nice. Won't be reading it, but the title is how I personally want to be when this episode ends! Nica's well being being paramount to this!

What's going to snap junior back. At this point he's a lost cause. He ain't about to do a Lexi in one episode
