SPOT ON!!! That is exactly what I was thinking! The show has so many homages and nods to Lovecraftian ficition (as Roth is a diehard fan, like Toro and Jackson) and that creature at the end has ALL the characteristics of Yig - to a tee - just a smaller version though, which is why I think he may not be Yig himself, but the smaller minions Yig sets out to do his biddings. I don't think the show would play their Old One card yet (if they have one) as that would yeild a great ending - like with Cabin in the Woods having the Old Ones at the end. Well, that's only my opinion, but you are the one person here whose comment really stuck out as spot on. One thing is for sure. They are crossing Romani, Christian, Zoroastrian, Hindu, astrological worldviews, Old Achaemenidian Persian religions, Shinto, and Lovecraftian worldview-religion eschatologies, which makes for a trippy mish-mash mythology that keeps us guessing. Do you agree, have any comments or further statements? Oh, it seems you appreciate, or can, at least, point out when there's something Lovecraftian. So, if you like Lovecraft, you should watch a documentary on him called H.P. Lovecraft: The Call of Cthulhu. It's got Toro, Jackson, and more all commenting and it's a biography on him with an in-depth look at the cultural impact on horror he's made and how he is the sole reason why horror even lauched and became accepted as a genre. It's awesome.
