Yep, even though they didn't have much time to explain why she, of all people, was who Del went to, I never doubted that she was in control of the situation the entire time

I would say that this season has the exact opposite problem that Coven had. Coven arbitrarily got rid of all the external antagonists in like the 10th or 11th episode, leaving absolutely nothing to find out except "ok, seriously, who's the fucking supreme." This season stumbled a little bit in the past few episodes…

Paul's *utter disgust* every time he even looked at NPH had me rolling. And while it made no sense that Elsa would agree to sell the freak show to him (dude, he was obviously crazy from the get-go, not a huckster type), her realization of "holy shit this guy is nutballs" while he was talking to the cops was also funny.

Even though we lost Frances Conroy too soon, Denis O'Hare is really stepping it up in the camp department.

I am such a sucker for "most important day in a character's life" episodes, so I was on the verge of tears throughout this one. I was preparing myself for a much more cynical ending, with Valerie holding the statue but having absolutely nothing left, or even that she would obviously lose the Emmy but maybe get a…

that would be a genuinely ballsy ending for this film.

Haha, this show totally does that to you. Throughout the whole Mark/Val fight, I was cringing not because it was awkward, but because I had the distinct feeling of "I should not be watching this," like when you go over to someone's house and they get into a fight with their boyfriend in front of you.

Hey, I know i'm not a person who normally posts on these, but I'm avoiding doing work of my own, so I thought I'd share my patented method for dealing with your constantly happy coworker… be pitying. Every time she tells you a detail about her life, react as though it is the saddest, most pathetic thing you've ever…

I think how you'd react depends on a lot of different factors.

I guess I consider myself someone who thinks that he's innocent, although I do fall on the "it doesn't matter because he was never PROVEN guilty" side. I just think the podcast, which is all I know of this case, told me far more condemning information about the cops/prosecutors and the lengths they were willing to go…

I don't know if I'd say the motive is "theoretical," but it's pretty damn weak, and I don't think it motivated him. This was an on-again, off-again relationship of a few months between two teenagers. The same holds true for money. Killing over an inheritance of 2,000 bucks is different than killing for 200 million.

Yep, I agree. I find it very believable (if we're talking about the unknowable, unbelievable guesswork we have the luxury of engaging in) that these cops would have helped Jay to the car in order to get a real break in the case.

I don't know if it's likely that she was killed at the library with no witnesses, but I think it's possible that Hae either met or picked up Adnan at the library, which is why his lawyer ignored the potential alibi. And that's regardless of guilt or innocence — if he did do it, don't tie yourself to a potential step…

This is an interesting breakdown. I tend to agree that if Adnan really did kill her, Jay was with him from the beginning as either a witness/coconspirator. It just doesn't make sense any other way. And I think the phoniness of the timeline proves that. I also think that if Adnan was involved, the local library becomes…

I think that's a distinct possibility, and was/is my tentative theory. I also think that Jay could have recognized Hae's car in the sketchy part of town and told the cops without having killed her. I mean, not only were they tangentially friends, but she'd been missing for some time, it's not crazy that people would…

Don, who was basically a slightly more mature version of Adnan in terms of how he would have been perceived following Hae's disappearance, had some insightful points. I do wonder if perhaps even if Adnan wasn't directly involved in the murder, if he *does* remember meeting up with Hae that day after school momentarily…

It's simultaneously the most ambitious and the laziest season the show has ever done. Sets up a lot of pins and doesn't really manage to knock any of them down. But I think it has some of the best visuals/characters of the series

They did her up to look like longtime Vogue editor Grace Coddington — http://static.guim.co.uk/sy… — and the result was fabulous!

*throws snakes and leeches on WHH's face*

I just rewatched Coven and it's way more fun as a binge! But it also pushed all my aesthetic buttons, i.e. all black clothes in that beautiful white house, FranGrace Conroddington, adult women behaving like drunken drag queens, so I'm inclined to be generous. The production design team was on their shit that year.
