The cold open was brutal. Even I was surprised, and I watched last season. Definitely looking forward to the season, though.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

[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!

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
So far, I'm in Marie Leveau's court ...
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!

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

Is it...is it the only episode that has aired?

Oh, that was fun. Messed up, but fun.
After that first episode, I think my favorite character so far is Fiona.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Chalking up one more reason why I'm so glad I don't have kids! No fooling with parental controls. I just looked up the list of TV-MA shows. Some of them I would not be cool with my kids watching at all; some I might be OK with them watching with adult supervision; some, I'd be like, "Whatever. Watch it if you want." Parents have their work cut out for them in this day and age. I remember that my parents' hardest decision was whether to let me watch Roots because of all the whipping or the episode of Good Times where you find out Penny's mom has been abusing her.
Also, sorry for the tangent. On topic, I totally agree that Marie Leveau should have made sure Madame was well and truly dead. In all the years she's been alive, has she never seen a horror movie? Kill it, cut the head off, burn it up and salt the earth.
