'Never Leave Me'
[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!
Pix,
Having never watched the show until this season, my feeling is that AHS:Coven is kind of a masterclass on how to troll on race and gender issues.
It is not more gory than True Blood (hard to be since this is FX), but it shares TB's over the top aesthetic.
I would agree that it trolls rather than explores.
I will say that when they were giving free samplels of TB a while back, I thought the Faerie birth scene was one of the funniest I had ever seen. Brilliant bawdy "low" comedy.
Myrtle with the melon baller and the eyeballs was just spectacular. Poor Beverly Leslie. I think she and Misty and Cordelia should just ditch the rest of the coven, go to LA and start over. They can bring Nan, but only if she agrees to stop obsessing about Luke, who is probably dead anyway by now so that might not be an issue.
I cannot with the LaLaurie storyline. Roots and Mandingo? Really? Sure, the BAPS line was funny but it was cheap funny. Queenie is better than that (or she should be). And this is no way to redeem Madame, if that's what they are going for. I care not a whit for a severed head crying while watching footage of the Civil Rights Movement, not that she'd do that anyway, right, given that she did far more terrible things to black folks and just called it Tuesday.
At this point, I'm just in it for the good performances. The ladies continue to bring it. I'm waiting to use "What the head said." as a way to shut down a pointless conversation in the near future.
BTW AH:C show seems much much worse on race than gender. not saying great on gender. but on race seems completely clueless.
Nikita! I can't even put it into words! There's not enough show left, but I'm so excited for Nikita and Alex working together again next week.
Yes!
I think I am not ready to react to last night's show yet, holding my breath for next week...
Oh, my god, this last episode of AHS is so hilariously awful.
I facepalmed when Hank started infodumping/reciting the description of the heretofore unhinted ancient order of witch hunters to his dad.
Excellent excellent finale of Nikita. Wow. Everything I wanted whether I knew it or not, I think.
