I think that's correct, but in the context (Robert reminding Thomas of the differences between him and Carson), to say that Carson is a "good" man would imply that Thomas is a "bad" one.

Very true, Carson is a consummate professional and believes, no he 'knows', that his behavior reflects upon the status of his employers. A butler behaving rudely to a guest is by extension the same as the head of the household behaving rudely to a guest.

Okay, Hotel has just wrapped up and I'm looking back at these reviews. I know it's been years since this was written, but I still can't believe how misjudged these episodes were.

That's certainly an excellent bit of analysis, but I don't think it was what the writers intended, it's a little to deep for them. Murphy seems content with this season's theme being one of addiction (addiction to another person, drugs, love, youth, being a mother, violence, etc.) and that's it. They've been so…

Wouldn't surprise me, the Euro-chicks became ghosts after never getting to Universal studios.

At least the others tend to derail in the last few episodes. This season was never even on the track.

Lachlan Drake? The writers, probably forgot about him; the audience sure did. They seem to only think about characters when it's necessary for the plot.

Well now I'm picturing that scene from Pulp Fiction but with Donovan and the Countess filling in for Jules and Vincent.

Things that this season of AHS has done WELL…
1. After two seasons of being given nothing to do, the writers give Evan Peters
a character he can just have fun with. What makes James March unique? Not much,
I've seen this character type before. What saves it is that Evan Peters
performs him with such fun, infectious…

The notion that vampires don't have ghosts because they don't have souls is certainly a possible explanation that Murphy might use to pull, but there are two problems with it.
1. As the reviewer noted, they're not "really" vampires, they're infected humans, blah, blah, blah. So, they really should be able to come back.…

It probably wasn't intentional on Peters' part, but Ryan Murphy is Catholic and Brad Falchuck comes from a Jewish family. Perhaps they're "exorcising" their feelings towards religion with this show.
Then again, it may be that it's just easier to make a killer scarier by giving them a vendetta against their religious…

"Rufio! Rufio!"

You note that Evan Peters seems to be channeling William Powell, and that certainly seems accurate considering the costuming and make up, but to me it seemed like Evan Peters playing Leonardo DiCaprio playing Jay Gatsby… or Howard Hughes… or both at once.
