She did look uhmazing, but then I'm really into powerful women who scare me a little bit. I also thought Bette was a total doll with her new blonde wave, but don't tell Dot I said that.

Limp is the perfect word for this episode. I always enjoy watching AHS, because while it's a glorious toilet show, it's MY glorious toilet show. But episodes like make me question my taste / judgement / fitness to stand trial.

Gladys is wonderful. So body positive and clearly has excellent taste in lipstick. I need her to be my hairdresser.

I actually cried and I am not ashamed to admit it.

- Please don't let Evan Peters perform Nirvana. Ever. I know his character this season is supposed to be Sensitive, but with Unresolved Anger Issues, but I really wasn't buying it before and this was the final nail in that coffin. Just hush.

I just felt kinda bad for Ma Petite having to overhear (what are presumably) Elsa's overblown, Teutonic sex moans.

I agree. She and Peters seem to have the curse of being eternally typecast by the writers. I understand that they both have a certain look and presence that lends them to playing their respective characters really well, but … I don't know, I'd love to see Jessica play something other than the beautiful, sexual older…

I have a hard time with this too. Dot is the stern one, Bette is the droopy one.

The main thing I took away from this episode was "Elsa has lost her damn mind."

Same! First season I was like "oh god, I'm a gross old lady and I should be ashamed" and then I realised he's only like a year younger than me and I was both relieved and angry that I don't have such a youthful appearance.

Yes.

Evan Peters is adorable (those eyes, really) and a good actor, but he's become so typecast it hurts. I just really, really want to see him in something other than the role of the sensitive, damaged young man.

Boardwalk caricaturists as the prime example of West coast hipandwithitness = me cringing so hard I entered an alternate dimension.

I still wonder about that. Why wasn't it more explicit? It's not like AHS has ever had a problem hitting people over the head with plot points. And if it was Wendy, does that means Oliver had time to cure her, or do lesbians just naturally have a ham-like flavor? I have so many questions!

Paul in formeldahyde upset me; Bette being referred to as "the droopy one" kind of mitigated the discomfort of seeing the twins in that state.

Goodie, then cannibalism is still (possibly) on the checklist. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be excited to see a human being chew on another human being. Thanks, AHS!

I think we've exhausted all possible permutations of this sentiment. Basically he's a babe and we want to do grown-up touches with him.

Blunt-force trauma to my nucleus accumbens.

Ooh, that's right. Was it a human brain, though? It's been a while since I watched that season, and very little of it stayed with me.

Correction: Dandy's not eating anyone YET. I have yet to see a line AHS won't cross, so I'm calling that one.
