One question about LaLuarie? What happened to the rescued slaves. Apparently one died. But what about the others? Freed? Sold?
It's all about the coat.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Some of them were supposed to have been emancipated slaves that she kept (and tortured) illegally, weren't they? If so, I assume those would have been freed. Others might have been sold by the authorities.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Wow, this is going to be one seriously messed up season!
Yep, really digging it so far. It somehow seems less insane than previous seasons, in a way.
I'm not sure about less insane, but it definitely feels more cohesive and focused so far. Last season was just too all over the place for me.
It looks like next week is one of Tim's.

Because books.
Last season had just one or two too many threads, I think. I would have ditched the aliens, for sure.

Yes, the whole alien story felt like it should have been it's own season.

I like cohesive and focused! With a dash of insanity here and there, for good measure.

It's focused insanity with a purpose. I definitely think I'm going to love this season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Less insane? It's never taken me longer to watch an AHS episode. Beyond the (signature) OTT sexual violence there was also crazy racial violence and I also did a lot of looking away. If not for Angela's beauty I may never have seen the minotaur full on.
Even the amount of rape in the current day made it hard to stomach in one episode after so long off. I'm not sure if/how to warn my sister.

Because books.
The opening with Madame LaLaurie was a lot more graphic than I was prepared, even with this show, and the rape really took me by surprise. They definitely go all in every season, right from the start.
The minotaur thing is confusing me. Are we supposed to think that man was actually transformed into a minotaur?
