Great, Until The Ending

Warning: Spoilers
I was really enjoying this episode. All the horror movie tropes were called out wonderfully. Russell's character was a sweet, wonderful character which made this ending hard to take. I literally flipped off my tv at the ending. Some people never get a connection to movie characters. As long as what happens in the movie serves their wants (ie.a shock ending) they're fine. This scenario is similar to the message in Cabin in the Woods. Soulless movie creators who have no compassion for the characters they create. The ending ticked me off so much that I really wanted to give this a lower score, but I just couldn't justify that because I didn't like the ending. Too bad because it was about to become one of my favorite episodes, up there with "Hated in the Nation" which is my current favorite.
