What an unexpected but delightful analogy

Totally agree! I consider this + the first 2 seasons of Happy Endings basically the same show in my mind

and to think I just watched the Name Game yesterday

I kinda want someone to snatch her wig that's worse than death tbh

At this point if it were anyone else it would genuinely have been misleading

I must have stroked out briefly because I just never saw the scene where she left the hotel after being there with the fashion designer's son so the whole "missing" thing made literally no sense to me.

if there is no Frances Conroy I think that would be the only thing that would make me give up this show for real. I sat through the scene were Kathy Bates' head watched Civi Rights footage but only bc Grances Coddingroy was there.

if she turns out to be a vampire hunter like Sarah Paulson's husband was a witch hunter in Coven I should be furious but I will probably enjoy it a lot

After the premiere, I thought this season was super fucking boring, but somehow these comments always manage to fuel my AHS obsession with their hilarity. So far, this season is majorly reminiscent of Coven — lots of promise, looks amazing, but even in the first few episodes we've got at least 3 timelines (2015, 1905,…

Which makes sense because DiCaprio is playing Holmes next year, right?

The scary thing is I bet Caputo isn't lying! I had to do some reading on for profit prisons, and they structure their budgets like that on purpose, in order to encourage guard turnaround. Of course, the administrator and executive salaries always manage to stay hefty. I fear we may be looking at a fourth season…

Yep, they probably didn't want to pay the fence repairmen overtime, so they decided to cheap out and do during the day. And of course, without experienced guards, no one knew that this would be happening right in the middle of all the prisoners' yard time. Very stupid in such a believable corporate way.

I'm sure Lori Petty would kill a Lolly flashback, but I almost don't want to see it because I feel like it would be so sad! Her excitement to be fed three times a day and sleep in a bed paired with her delusions suggests that she may have been homeless or in another really bad situation. But who knows, maybe she…

I think showing Boo's revelation about there being no afterlife for her did two things. It further helped to contextualize her self-confidence and determination to never stop being who she is. I also feel it hinted at a responsibility she felt for the Coates situation, because she's not the type of person who can be…

Actually I had a very different reading of that summer camp scene. I got the sense that Aleida desperately wants her kids to react like that (which is incredibly unhealthy), but knew that Daya should go to the camp, so she disengaged and pretended not to care. And she has so many emotional barriers up that when…

Excellent sass and excellent artistic ability! This episode really laid out how so many of Daya's most frustrating qualities as a TV character, like her passivity, desperation for love, and people pleaser-ness are a direct result of growing up with Aleida.

I think you might be right on; at this point I wasn't really wondering "BUT WHAT ABOUT CAPUTO???" but by now I think the reveal that Norma has a tendency to let the promise of faith and kindness distract her from some seriously fucked up shit might give the cult stuff more of an edge.

Personally I think the problem is that Season 1 was pretty straightforward: basically it boiled down to Piper's journey from spoiled rich girl to member of the prison community. And Season 2 had all of its themes — the fight between the ethnic groups, old school prison ways vs. new school prison ways, aging — wrapped…

I didn't understand Piper's vow to be "unapologetic" at all. If the person you are in a relationship with both doesn't know and doesn't want you to be hooking up with other people, you are hooking up with someone else, and you lie to your partner about it, then the only way you're not "guilty" is that you don't *feel*…

At the time I thought Boo's backstory was a bit of a waste, but now it seems completely clear why we needed to see that: to know that Boo's singleminded, black and white way of seeing things would NEVER let her accept the fact that Doggett "deserved" to be raped, and she'll literally stop at nothing to help her…
