I really don’t understand the season’s story structure here at all. I can get doing an in media res opening with the apocalypse to tell us that it is coming and won’t be stopped and then jumping back to the backstory. But why spend three whole episodes in the bunker and then backtrack to spend what’s now the majority…

This is the first episode this season that really didn’t click for me at all. Some of the parts were fun - the Eichner and Peters stuff weirdly fit with the bonkers tone of this season and Harriet Sansom Harris is an actress so perfectly right for this show that it’s surprising she hasn’t been on before (come to think…

She is super charming on One Day at a Time in the most awkward way. 

Phil's plotline was so creepy. You don't hold office hours in your own home. You don't shrug off your family fondling a student. The stalker student was more disturbing than funny. I feel like next year's Title IX training at my university will be based on this episode. The massage scene was a bad retread of the…

The Watch novels may not be my favorite Pratchett books (that has to be the Death novels) but it's easily the Discworld sub-series that would best translate to a continuing TV series. I'm optimistic.

I liked it better than last week if only because I like some warped hometown pride. I keep expecting them to deal with the over the top rage from Mac, which seems extreme even for him this season.

Is there any chance that "punk rock" is just a terrible troll pun?

Seriously, no mention of Max von Sydow's Ming, which 12 year old me thought was the greatest performance in the history of film? 

It's a perfectly solid list of great films but like almost always with these types of lists it's pretty short on comedies and genre films. 

It was a solid enough Monster of the Week episode (it helps that I really, really hate spiders and that shot of it crawling out from under the bed was super creepy) but I agree that this was the most comfortable Whittaker has seemed.  The whole “I eat danger for breakfast” run was hilarious.  

Her children's book Ellington Was Not a Street is great, setting one of her poems about growing up and several African American icons next to really stunning illustrations.

Werewolf movies. I have seen pretty much every werewolf movie I have ever stumbled across, despite about 90% of them being mediocre to terrible. 

That is a pretty great run of shows. Fun interview.

Chidi's reaction to "see you in the next life" was priceless.

I don’t think E.T. is evil but I have never been clear why a species capable of interstellar travel is incapable of inventing the buddy system or doing a freaking head count after their little botany field trip. 

Yeah, the later remake for the Tales from the Crypt TV series is pretty good but it doesn’t have that almost hypnotic early 70s design (I mean, the fireplace, the end tables, the jewelry she gets . . .it’s all so perfectly 70s).

It’s hard to miss that a lot of this season is flat out fan service but, hey, I’m still entertained this far into the season and that’s a definite plus for any later season of AHS. I liked the return of Lance Reddick’s Papa Legba, who I always thought was an interesting presence on Coven - there’s a kind of scary…

Oh god, now I’m just thinking of Mac’s “not a love letter” to Chase Utley. I may need to go watch “The World Series Defense.”

That is pretty much a perfect use of a tweet.  Well done, Blair.  

According to IMDb it’s “DeDe” so who knows?  I wouldn’t put it past her to change the spelling of her name just to mess with people.
