I am SO glad Evan Peters is getting more screen time this season. He was wasted last year.

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!
OK. watched the season 3 finale of Nikita and now I'm more like "how does she not expect them to keep on what they're doing? Why does leaving help anything?" A little to melodramatic, even for this show, but I'm still looking forward to what we get for a fourth season.
Patti Labelle on AHS! Nobody told me!
Patti Labelle on AHS! Nobody told me!
I had no idea either!
Dan thought it was Patti Lapone again, and he was all "PATTI Labelle!"
I was all, yeah, didn't you know?
Did anyone see footage of Jessica Lange breezing past Lea Michelle at the premiere red carpet? I'm normally not a big fan of celebrities treating others like annoyances at PR events, but the gifsets with captions like "No autographs." and "Security!" were priceless.
I hope Miss Patti gets some good screen time and it was fun to see her, but this season of AHS is really not grabbing me. It's not scary. Like even a little bit. If the creepy mama's boy can get the drop on the evil clown, than that man needs to up his homicidal clown game. And the reveal of what was under the clown mask was wholly expected. Yawn. I have not had an HSQ moment yet.
It's still awfully pretty. There's that.
I'm loving this season of AHS! It's not scary the way the first or second season was, but we're also only two episodes in. And some of the stuff with the killer clown has been scary enough for me. I don't think jump scares are really the point with this show -- more slowly building creepy horror.
I think they really got this season right, if they stick with what they've started -- like they took the strongest elements of the first three seasons and finally put them together the right way. The "who's a freak" comparison between Dandy and the freak show inhabitants is a little on the nose, but the way they're shooting the Dandy and Gloria scenes is so gorgeously surreal, I love it.
I just started on the 4th abbreviated season of Nikita and OMG I love this show.
Side note - Birkohff is the only one who uses Niki (or some variant on that diminutive) as opposed to the full Nikita, right:? That's got to be plot point at some point. Also, isn't she the only one who calls him "nerd" as a matter of course, though she does use his real name at times?
I worry about Birkohff a lot. Him and his lady love seem the most vulnerable to me at this juncture in the series.
AHS: Oh, Elsa. Oh, everybody, really. The new characters are great -- I was surprised by the twist! And the Bette/Dot scecne was really horrifying. I keep waiting to have nightmares about Twisty, though.
Everything is working so well this season! ::knocks wood::
