Was anyone else really shocked that Jeff left? He's had such a prominent edit since the first episode, unlike Woo… and he didn't leave last week so I would never have guessed he would leave this week. He really showed that he was here to play, but I'm glad Woo stayed.

Sarah Paulson is the real MVP of this series, and always has been. She's the one that completely disappears into her characters, not Lange.

Let's talk about this show. I feel like since the second half of Season 4 it's actually turned into a pretty good, sometimes great, series. I very much like it much more now than I did in its first three seasons )amazing pilot aside). Heck, seeing how stupid Game of Thrones has gotten the last two seasons, this may

Dang, how will they explain that last scene and what happened…

Yeah, I'm really enjoying this season. I never thought the show got "bad" per se last season, but it's clear it turned into more of a soap opera the second half. Glad to see it can still do quiet, effective drama well.

We need to talk more about the rape scene… It honestly made me feel deeply ashamed for still watching the show. Aside from that I enjoyed the episode, but Murphy's fascination with such graphic, sexual violence is not only disturbing but deeply offensive and disgusting. Why? Because he does it over and over and over

Also, Woo became one of my favorites with the faces he was giving at the end of the episode. He's such a good guy, he's likable, he's iNCREDIBLY hot, and yet he always seems to be on the outs pre-merge

What's sad is that I think Evan Peters is a very charismatic actor with a good screen presence, but his characters in the last two seasons wooow… Tate is his only truly great character

I mean, I don't think the show has ever promised to be actual quality… and it IS disappointing how messy it can get to the point that it's not fun, but for the most part, I liked Murder House and Freak Show, and loved Asylum

Do people really, HONESTLY, think this show is like a lot worse than The Walking Dead? Both share exactly the same flaws and writing problems. I'm baffled by how anyone could think this was bad and TWD great (although I'm baffled that anyone could think TWD is a "great" show period). I prefer the characters here

not that we didn't know it from the first season, but we can't ever fault the show for not being ambitious. Those first ten minutes, wow.

This season is off to such a great start, and that second episode was just masterful. I don't remember the last time an episode was so perfectly constructed, both thematically and narratively. The arc of the eliminated contestant is nothing short of brilliant, and the episode was heartbreaking in so many ways.

Yup, I already feel more of a connection to these characters than I did for the ones in TWD for seasons… Hell, I still only care about Carol, Rick, and Daryl there.

ust amazing. It's rather understated and procedural many of the times (but nothing unsurprising if one has seen David Simon's TV series). What it does in the six hours is amazing though. Its character development is exquisite, and by the time it's over it feels like it was a run of an actual television series. Of

So, better series finale? This or Breaking Bad's?

So, guys, which is the superior series finale? This or Breaking Bad's?

Anyone else wish Fuller wouldn't have made explicit his intentions with Bedelia's scene? Not saying anything works better…

With that series finale… and let me go into detail… for those who have seen it

Ugh, Look through the comments and you get the same Walking Dead mindless fans wanting action. Awful

Watched it. Immediately is different from The Walking Dead in that I actually care about characters, although it's really due to the actors. Kim Dickens is everything, also loved the other actor who's her lover. And I even saw Randy from THE WIRE! The show also just has a much less pretentious, self-serious feel to it
