Maybe they should just not air the show that early out here?
I don't know if FX can be held responsible for what the cable company (not mine! why not mine???) is doing, though. They made a show for 10.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, that is not a complaint against the show. Like I said, I was disturbed by the violence, but I imagine I was supposed to be. I also wasn't surprised because I'm a grown up (sometimes) and I choose to watch the show. Huge party foul on Direct TV for not pre-empting the 7:00 pm showing. Just way too intense for that time slot.

I think they have a blanket decision with an East Coast feed. I'd be surprised if they got into each show separately.

DirecTV has parental controls. I don't use them, but I'm pretty sure you can block anything that's rated Mature (or whatever the rating system is, I don't pay attention).

Because books.
The cold open was brutal. Even I was surprised, and I watched last season. Definitely looking forward to the season, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Given that television is becoming more and more an untimed thing, I think the parental controls are key if there are people in your home whose viewing habits are your responsibility.
We have dvrs, Hulu, and many more streaming options. Just because a show was initially shown as a 10 p.m. show, that's probably not when a lot of people watch it or have access to it. The original air time feels less and less meaningful.
Which is my reaction to television in general because there's no way in hell I am ever watching any AHS. I don't do horror scary and AHS seems very, very good at horror scary.

It's actually not "scary" for me. It's more horrifying and unsettling and disturbing.
I think you're right about TV viewing, though. It's amazing how much technology has changed programming in just the last five years, and how viewing habits (or wish lists) drove the development of technology.

I'd agree with one important exception. When destroying a great evil, you do NOT give it immortality to ensure it suffers eternally. Even if you are not an evil overlord, learn from the evil overlord manual: "Death is NOT too good for my enemies."

Amazon Prime now has a season pass for this season of AHS! Guess what episode I'm going to start watching!

If your kids are going to know most of the tool better than you, make sure you know the bit of the tool you need to know as well as it can be known. Work the fuck out of those parental controls. Lock that shit down.
