The Doctor's New Look... meh.


So a few months ago, when Peter Capaldi was announced as the new Doctor, I wrote a blog post about the many fashions of Doctor Who (as can be read here: http://thedefinitionofnerd.blogspot.com/2013/08/we-have-new-doctor-but-nobody-is-asking.html).  Welp, yesterday the first photo of Capaldi's costume was released.... and I was really... really underwhelmed.  And also, kind of disappointed that they released the look so early.  That's probably due to the boom in the show's popularity keeping something as simple as a costume under wraps is probably near impossible, thanks to paparazzi and off set lurkers filming with cell phones.  In fact, Capaldi's casting was leaked nearly 2 days before the big reveal (those most people wrote it off a speculation).  It's always been nice to see the Doctor carefully picking out his outfit, finding his look and debuting it to his companion.  

First off, let me say I am genuinely truly excited to see Capaldi's Doctor, as I respect him as both an actor and a fellow Whovian... but the costume.  Meh.  Maybe it's because Matt Smith gave us such and ICONIC look that following it was doomed, but Capaldi's costume seems lacking, much like Chris Eccleston's to be honest.  It's missing an a signature piece, because not much can really be said for a red silk lined black coat.  I mean, its cool, but it's no bowtie and suspenders or pinstriped suit with converse.  And speaking of converse, what are those SHOES?!  No.  It kind of looks like the Doctor, if the Doctor was Dracula... or Frankenstein.

Well, Clara seems to like it.

Maybe it's just that we haven't seen the outfit in action, flapping in the wind as the Doctor runs from his latest foe, OR they are still waiting to reveal an element of it (I'm hoping for a pocket watch or SOMETHING).  Thankfully, we have not seen what the sonic screwdriver NOR the Tardis will look like, and I pray it's something they are able to keep quiet, I would like to be surprised.

I really cannot wait for new episodes to start, I think Capaldi is going to blow us all away, even if his costume doesn't.  I also can't wait to see how Clara interacts with the "older" Doctor.  Here's to the Doctor's long x13 life!

GO TO HELL! American Horror Story Coven


So before tonight's episode, I was doing the dishes and thinking about Nan.  AHS has the habit of adding totally pointless characters, maybe to distract you, maybe because they over write their scripts, but either way, I refuse to believe Nan served so little of a purpose.  She has a full story arc with Patti Lupone and that hottie christian boy.  You don't use a favorite past actress like Jamie Brewer and an epic theatre goddess like Lupone for no reason at all.  Here's to hoping that there is more to that plotline.  I also just want to say, that while this season isn't the disaster last season was, its just missing that all out creep factor of season one.  I mean, there were nights I couldn't sleep after watching an episode, let alone be alone in my apartment.  Don't get me wrong, I like this season, but it lacked some of the horror element of American Horror Story.  It started out strong, but just sort of became lacking and predictable.  My thought for next season:  Much, much smaller cast.  Season 1 was essential only FIVE essential characters... six if you count Moira.  We have close to NINE main characters this season, which is better than last seasons 450.

  • Weird silent movie opening... does not feel like a good sign.
  • This is not how I imagined we would learn about the seven wonders
  • While I respect the truthfulness to silent film tech... BUT I don't see the point in this over stylized nonsense.
  • "Half baked beetlejuice."  Yes.  Yes.  That is EXACTLY what he is.  This is the best line ever, that may be because Beetlejuice is one of my all time favorite movies.
  • Jeeze Cordelia, at least put on some glasses.
No girl.   You don't understand you look worse now
  • Okay, so times of crisis EVERYBODY gets new powers, you should have mentioned that earlier
  • Bitch, she find out you brained Misty.  I really am over Madison.
  • Wait, how does Cordilia even still have eyeballs at all?  She gouged them out.
  • Is Marie chopped up in itty bitty bits?  Cuz that's a genius way of getting rid of her.
  • QUEENIE!  You don't have any cocaine!!  PAPA LEGBA LOVE COCAINE!

  • What, dafuq, is going on with Queenie.
  • The spirit of Jazz wants some fried chicken!  Seriously, he is the spirit of jazz.
WATCH THE MIGHTY BOOSH
  • Broils (aka Lance Reddick) is AWESOME as this character
  • OH LAWD!  Marie is all cuts up!
  • BWAHAHAHAHAHA!  LaLaurie is giving her OWN house tours!  I love the new do girl!  You looks like Kathy Bates now.
  • Woah, Queenie is looking kind of thug life looking at LaLaurie.
  • LaLaurie, are you going to kill a white person?  Does that make you less racist?
  • Oh wait, no, she's still alive.
  • HAHAHAHAHAHA LaLaurie is commiserating with Paula Deen.  Brill.
  • LaLaurie's little speech about how easily we forgive is brilliant and true.  People only apologize because they get caught
  • Woah.  That was an epic amount of blood coming out of LaLaurie
  • Ok, so Fiona is still dying.
  • Man those eye contacts are wickedly good.  Bravo makeup department.
  • OH SHIT!  DID CORDELIA JUST PROPHESIZE THEY WOULD ALL END UP DEAD???  BY FIONA'S HAND!?
  • Fiona's gunna break the jazzman's heart?  That seems unwise.
  • Misty is still alive?  Just chillin in that grave?
  • How come Cordelia is out of the running for supreme?  They keep talking about all of the younger girls, but why can't Cordie?
  • Wooo!  Misty is back!
  • I fucking love how Myrtle talks passively aggressively to EVERYBODY
  • AH!  Zoe is back!  Awww her and Kyle love each other so much.
  • That homeless dude is dead meat.
  • Okay, so literally every witch can do all of the seven wonders.
  • FINALLY SOMEBODY IS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF MADISON!
  • "Boy, did you walk into the wrong house"
  • I love seeing all of the witches FINALLY together.
  • Woops, did the axeman AX Fiona?  Ha.. ha... see what I did there... yeah no I got nothing.
  • Is it weird that I find Danny Huston as the Axeman seriously sexy?
  • Rut-roh that looks like the Axeman's killing strut.
  • "I made you die those little deaths for the first time in your life."  That's some damn line right there.
  • When did Fiona grow her hair back?
  • FIONA WHY ARE YOU STAYING FOR A DRINK HE IS GOING TO KILL YOU.
  • Stupid move Fi.  Stupid move.
  • So Fiona is dead... who is the next supreme?
  • "Yeah he is a psycho mas murderer" -Madison "Yes is there anybody here for whom that could not be said?" -Myrtle
  • ARE THEY ALL THE SUPREME??
  • Isn't that exactly how he died the first time?
  • Oh damn, is LaLaurie in HELL?!?!
  • I cannot make is CLEAR enough how dearly I love Angela Bassett.  I cannot.
  • Damn, Queenie sold EVERYBODY out.

CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!  My money was initially on Misty as the new supreme but it's tough to tell now.  There is a chance they may throw in a monkey wrench and decide that they are all just way to evil to be supreme.  It's a toss up!  What are your guesses, comment and let me know!

AHS: Protect the Coven!


So, in my opinion, this show has gotten a bit repetitive.  They keep beating us over the head with this "THERE IS A NEW SUPREME COMING" plot line and not really given us anything new.  And how many times is each characters going to die?  It's bordering on ridiculous, and takes the power out of playing the death card.  When they killed Madison so early I was shocked, but now, even when the really killed Nan, I just couldn't get into it, I was numb to characters dying.  I'm just hoping this all leads somewhere because this plot is really going in circles, just the same things over and over and over and over... well, you get it.  Here are my moment to moment thoughts:

  • Every time they flashback I feel like I'm watching Interview with a Vampire.
  • We get it guys, Kathy Bates is racist.  We've driven that home.
  • That dress is Kathy Bates as Violet Beauregard.
  • Why are we flashing back to this?  We know she thinks blood is like 19th century botox.
  • So... she killed a chicken and then lost her damn mind?  Remind me to never kill a chicken.
  • Poor, poor Nan.
  • I can NOT get enough of Angela Bassett
  • Okay so Queenie is alive then
  • Who the hell put Lalaurie back together?
  • OH LOOK!  KYLE IS HERE!  HI KYLE!  Good to know you still exist.
  • Oh man Misty is RIGHT THERE.
  • I thought the witch hunter corporation collapsed?  How did they make a whole fake ID?
  • How the hell does Lalaurie know how to give a mani?
  • Okay so there is still a 3 some going on between Kyle and his lovely lady lumps.
  • Madison can poop?  She seems to thin for that.
  • IS SHE EATING POOP???  THEY ALL JUST ATE POOP SOUP!
  • Why the hell did Laveau keep the baby?  Give it back!
  • DID FIONA JUST SPRAY HER HOO-HA???  Oh that HAS to burn.
  • One day I'm going to grow up to be Myrtle Snow.
  • "It smells like an Olympian's ejaculate."  That was a line that happened.
  • Oh LAWD I thought Lalaurie had reformed!  Bitch just be crazy.
  • So... I guess Kyle is still a little slow... but I do love the chemistry he has with Taissa.
  • I'm am over Madison.  Even if she does have the best lines.
  • I'm still confused as to how the jazzman exists... he was a ghost.
  • Wait... Does Fiona still have cancer?  Because she was strait up dying before the midseason finale.
  • AHH! SPALDING!  I am so happy, it was such a waste to get rid of Dennis O'Hare so quickly.
  • If they kill Angela Bassett, I am out.
  • Who isn't the next supreme?  Everybody is the next supreme.  I'm the next supreme.
  • Why is nobody looking for Misty?
  • Annnnd she is gunna blind herself again isn't she. Two people died to give you those eyes Cordelia!
  • God damn it Cordelia you are ridiculous.
  • They should just write a TV show for Francis Conroy and Jessica Lange.  Just two old biddies bickering.
I mean, really.
  • It's a doll.  It's a fucking doll.  I can't.  I can not even.  He made Lalaurie get him a fucking doll.
  • Benedryl... please tell me he is fucking with her.
  • THEREMIN!
  • I keep forgetting Zoe and Myrtle are related.
  • Zoe listen to your aunt and go, why are you so committed anyway!?
  • This witch hunter this is awkward and I hate it.
  • I KNEW I SAW AN AX!   I thought it was the witch hunter's ax!
  • BWAHAHAHAHAHA Marie Laveau is impressed.
  • ANGELA TAKING CELLPHONE PICS.  I LOVE IT.
  • I mean... Benedryl makes you sleepy but not drunk.
  • NO! ANGELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Oh, whew...   If the bury her, Cordelia will find her
  • SPALDING TOO THE BABY!  WHAT THE FFFUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
  • Oh that baby is a ghost now, isn't it.
  • Oh, my God, I love Evan Peters so, so much,
  • I'm glad they left, but if they aren't on the show anymore I am going to be sorely disappointed, especially since Kyle just got his brain back.
ONLY TWO MORE EPISODES LEFT!  Hopefully they will stop beating around the bush!

THE MAGICAL DELIGHTS OF STEVIE NICKS! The episode of AHS we have ALL been waiting for!


With the news that Evan Peters and Emma Roberts are now engaged (EVAN LOVE ME!) I settled down to watch tonight's episode with a heavy heart.  But, after the epic mid-season finale I have high hopes.  Questions you have to ask yourself, is Queenie dead?  Are Laveau and Fiona really going to team up?  Are the corporate witch hunters about to take revenge?  Is Kyle really done drooling into a cup?  Let's find out!  Here are my thoughts LIVE as I watch!


  • Why is Fiona being so kind to Laveau?  I mean, yeah, Laveau just went through a bad experience, but Fiona, you a bitch.
  • WHAAAAT Laveau?!?!  Are you and Fiona going to have pillow fights and braid each others hair?  This is a 180 that I DO NOT trust.
  • Ruh-oh monster shadow annnnd RED EYED VOODOO DEVIL!  He looks like the Spirit of Jazz from the Mighty Boosh!
  • OMG THAT'S BROYLS FROM FRINGE!!!! YEY!! It's nice to see him play something other than a stuffy FBI agent!
  • Uhhh Is Laveau going to steal/kill a baby.   DaFuq
  • What in God's name is going on!  WHAT IS HAPPENING!  WHAT THE FUCCCCCKKKKKK!  Laveau just went all Linda Blaire on those cops.
  • Ruh-oh Cordelia FINALLY hears the truth about her psycho ex husband.
  • Fiona why you hitting your daughter!  Shit has been bad enough for her as it is, even if you WERE right about him being a toolbox.
  • Oh shit, Fiona looks actually REALLY scared.  That can't be good...
  • I am obsessed with Misty, she is PERFECTION.
  • Jessica Lange and Lily Rabe have fantastic chemistry.
  • Fiona, stop telling EVERYBODY they will be the supreme.  You clearly dont know.
  • STEVIE NICKS!  OMG IS SHE ACTUALLY A WITCH!?  I LOVE THIIIIS... and there goes Misty...
  • Where the hell is Queenie?
  • OMG GOOSEBUMPS!  I won't lie, I love Stevie Nicks and she sounds AMAZING!  My mom raised me on this woman's voice, I am LOVING this episode.
  • "Marshall?  You're not his type.  And more importantly, you're not the next supreme."  BURN.
  • Okay, so Madison's murmer is gone, but who cares?  She died she can't be the supreme, she's only alive because of Misty.
  • I think Nan really had a better chance of being supreme than Madison.
  • I bet Madison would have stuck the cigarette in her vagina without the mind control.
  • Wait, how did Cordelia not figure any of this out while they were married?
  • Man, Fiona is really not having Cordelia.  Damn.
  • I don't know why, but even though that mouse trap spell was cool, all I could think was "Flowers for Algernon."
  • AH!  Fiona!  Whats going on!  BE OKAY!
  • Luke is dead!  OH NO!  I mean, we knew that, but I feel so bad for Nan.
  • Why are Fiona and Laveau actually trusting each other.
  • She sold her soul, boom!
  • Oh man, Angela Bassatt is KILLING it.  I am LIVING for her performance.
  • The funeral procession is a BEAUTIFUL representation of New Orleans and it's culture.
  • "Players only love you when their playing."  Dang, Madison knows her Fleetwood Mac
  • I LIVE for New Orleans cemeteries.
  • HOLY FUCK!  Did Madison really bring that guy back to life!??
  • MADISON!  NO!
  • Poor Misty, all she wanted was help and now she's fucked.  Hopefully she is powerful enough to get herself out of this mess. 
  • HOW MANY TIMES ARE THESE CHICKS GOING TO KILL EACH OTHER???
  • Wait... where is Kyle?
Peek-a-boo, we never ever see you are you even in this season?
  • OMG Now they want to bring LUKE back to life?  JUST LET PEOPLE DIE!!
  • Oh Damn he was cremated!
  • OH FUCK!  NAN IS OUT OF CONTROL!
  • Whatever, Luke's mom was already dead once.
  • OMG MYRTLE IS PLAYING THE THEREMIN!!!!!  Of course she would.  True story, only one person in the world is a master of that amazing little electrical instrument.
  • I hope to be like Myrtle Snow one day.
  • Yeah you know what Cordelia, just kill yourself.  I am really sick of your whining.
  • Back on the coke then are we Fiona?
  • Wait, are you giving the demon coke?
  • Oh NO Fiona!  Why would you do this?  Is immortality worth it?
  • YOU HAVE NO SOUL!  SNAP!
  • How the fuck did the axeman get there?  Is he a ghost or a person or what I am so confused?!?!

  • OH GOSH!  NAN FOUND THE STOLEN BABY!
  • Oh NAN is full of SASS
  • WHY THE HELL ARE THEY DROWNING NAN!!!
  • "She's innocent... mostly."
  • Oh man, I loved Nan, why do they always kill Jamie Brewer... oh well, guess she isnt supreme.
  • Is Stevie Nicks about to get killed?
  • Watching Fiona listen to Stevie was beautiful.
  • Ugh, if anybody who died this episode (with the exception of Misty) comes back to life, this show is useless.
Next weeks episode looks damn good though...  Fiona and Marie are a serious combo!

American Horror Story: Head



I've been a TOTAL blog slacker the last few weeks, I mean, I didn't even blog about Doctor Who's 50th, but that may have been because I had an emotional breakdown.  Well, I'm back tonight, giving my live reaction's to American Horror Story.  Now, the show is starting to hit that moment where it will peak in glory or become totally un-watchable.  That being said, if they bring one more person back to life I am going to be so over it.  As Myrtle put it "She's brought more people back to life than Jesus Christ!"  I'm just saying, Jesus only brought like, one person back to life, and the bible is still a roaring huge hit, no need to beat a dead horse and then bring it back to life AHS.

On anther note, the people in my office have a bit of a bet going on who will be Supreme, and currently Nan is in the lead.  I was all "Team Misty" but now that Myrtle thinks she's the next supreme I think she may be out.  I mean, last episode Nan did open the door with her mind AND she was with Madison when she set the curtains on fire.  Who said it was Madison who did it?  Obviously, they are setting it up so that everybody looks like they could be the Supreme.  I just hope it doesn't end up being totally lame.  Okay, here we go:
  • Head?  What an odd title.
  • OOooh A witch hunting trip.  Of 1700s... in 1991?
  • Enter world's most stereotypical looking witch, "NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY ARE!"
  • That guy just shot that witch to death with his damn arm on fire.  That's commitment.
  • Damn, that's a good wig Fiona.  Because really it's just your real hair.... 
I can clock a wig at 10 yards, girl that's yo hair
  • The makeup effects this season are the best yet.  Loving rotting LaLaurie.
  • How can she talk?  Her head is in a box.  WHAT'S IN THE BOX!  That's all I keep thinking.
  • Can somebody just give Angela Bassett all the awards that there are?
  • How is burning her head going to kill her?  It's fucking not even attached to her body!  How is air going through?  No, this magic can't explain away.
  • Myrtle Snow, best costume ever.
  • So witch hunting has gone corporate?  The fuq
  • This witch hunting scene is the most boring scene ever.
  • We get it, his hand is burned, how many close ups do wee need?
  • Oh God, a MELLON BALLER.  These bitches are losing eyes.
Scariest weapon of all.
  • "Power Compassion and Uniqueness."  What is this?  RuPaul's Drag Race.
  • "Monk's Hood in your balls."  Balls, head, what is going on here?
  • Frances Conroy your a God Damned genius.
  • OH FUCK A NUT I WAS SO HOPING THEY WOULDN'T SHOW THAT.
  • Fucking finally!  Everybody is giving people life, and healing dead babies and what not, but it took THIS LONG for somebody to heal Cordelia!  You ladies dropped the ball.  And you gave her miss matched eyes on top of it.  Poor Cordelia, your husband hates witches, your eyes be crazy and you have serious mommy issues.  Here, a pity party for you:
I can't have a baby and somebody threw acid in my face and my husband is a witch hunter and my mom killed a bunch of people and I don't like to use my magic, and I was blind and now my eyes don't match.
  • There is a LOT of dismemberment this season.  I'm just sad Leslie Jordan is dead :(
  • Okay, so now she's not blind she has lost her second sight.  Boohoo.
  • What in GODS NAME is Madison wearing on her head!  She looks like a beefeater.
  • Does Joan not know she was dead?
  • Oh man, his whispering into Nan's ear was pretty HOT!
  • This is Patty Fucking-LuPone!  Let her SING!!!  Ugh.  You do not waste Miss LuPone's talent on a crying sing!  You belt that bible shit.
  • Severed head Kathy Bates is fucking genius.  Whoever's idea that was, I love you.
  • I only just realized why this is called "Head."
  • I love that Cordelia is teaching Misty.... like they are sisters!  It's like Practical Magic!!
  • OH SNAP!  He was the one who tried to kill Misty.
  • Where the hell did that dog come from.  What a weird transition.  
  • OH SNAP!  Fiona found....WAIT DID HE JUST EAT THE DOG?
  • Luke is a hottie hot hottie.
  • What a fucked up way to kill somebody, beed to death.
  • FUCK YES!!!!!  KYLE IS NOT THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER ANYMORE!!!
  • HOLY SHIT BALLS!!! HE WENT AFTER THE VOODOO GIRLS!!!
  • OH SHIT QUEENIE GOT IT IN THE TUMMY!!!!  RIGHT IN HER HOLD MINOTAUR WOUND!
  • YEAH QUEENIE YOU CRAWL YOURSELF AND BE A HERO!  O MAN O GOD!!! THAT WAS EPIC!  I was like, WHY IS SHE KILLING HERSELF!  But she is a VOODOO DOLL!  OH MAN THAT WAS EPIC. YES.  YES. YES!
  • Oh, come on, you knew LuPone was going to kill her son.
  • Oh yes, an unholy alliance!  I like where this is heading!!!
To be fair, with all the witch hunter business I was nervous about this episode, but it was PERFECT!  So HAPPY!!!

Dead Rising on American TV


Nope, I'm not talking zombies, I am talking TV and it's new trend of killing pretty much anyone.  If you haven't watched the following shows (and plan to) READ NO FURTHER:  Person of Interest, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Boardwalk Empire, Being Human (The UK version) or read The Divergent Series.

Okay are all you guys out?  Last chance.


Good.  So last night, I, a huge J.J. Abram's fan, was settling in to watch Person of Interest.  Well, for me this season has been a bit of "Person of no interest at all whatsoever".  I was starting to find the plot tired, the characters tired and I was considering cutting the show from my epic TV schedule.  But, I was impressed with last week's episode of Detective Carter pretty much single handedly taking down the corrupt cops of HR.  I was down to watch last night's episode to see how the plot would thicken, the previews leading me to believe it would be the end for Detective Fusco.  I had mentally prepared myself for the loss of one of my favorite characters, but when he freed himself from a bad situation, I was overjoyed.


Then again, this is network TV.  Nobody ever actually dies.  I mean, you kind of know it, don't you?  The most shocking death I can remember on network in the last few years is when they killed Kal Penn off of House, but then again we knew that he would be leaving when he took a job at the White House.  So, when Fusco didn't take a bullet to the brain, I was slightly relieved but not too surprised... however, in the final seconds of the show, just when we think we are out of the woods, a payphone rings with a new number and CARTER IS SHOT TO DEATH!


Now, to be fair, I have always felt that Taraji P. Henson was too good for this show.  Not that the show isn't wonderful, it's just that she is such an amazing actress with a RANGE, a tough cop character was not enough for her, in my opinion.  She is an incredible actress who I truly fell in love with in her her Oscar nominated role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.  But the second Harold heard that payphone ring I knew it was either curtains for John or Carter, thinking it may be John after his number had already come up and Root had hinted at Harold losing other partners.  But no, when corrupt HR 2nd in command Simmons finds the two, he hits Carter who was defending weaponless John.  And since I was so used to Network close calls I was waiting for the miracle, for the ambulances, for the emergency room OR scene, but none of those things came.  Carter was dead.

Well, lots of fans out there may be angry or upset but I am overjoyed.  Of course I am sad to see Henson leave, but the networks are FINALLY catching on to what cable networks/BBC have already discovered.  When nobody is safe, people will watch.  For God's sake, BBC's Being Human killed off every single main character, poor Nina not even getting an onscreen death, and people STILL watched.

And your little wolf too.

It seems like this new trend on American TV started with shows like The Walking Dead, and HBO's Game of Thrones, who killed Ned Stark the apparent main character in the first season.  And let's not forget this years Red Wedding (pictured above) which had fans declaring they would never watch the show again.  To be fair, both of these are based on books, but when Boardwalk Empire abruptly killed main character Jimmy despite his widening character arc, people were shocked.  But the value in these deaths is that the audience gets an adrenaline rush every time they watch the show.  Nobody is safe, not the main character, not your favorite character.  Nobody.  And isn't that real life?!  Cop/fire fighters/soldiers husbands and wives worry everyday for the safety of their loved ones.  It's not like TV where you know they will survive because they are  the main character or "the good guy."

Now, as a Doctor Who fan I should be used to character favorites dying (most recently Rory, Amy, River Song and shortly #11), I should know better that just because it's for "kids" doesn't mean people are safe.  Having just finished the Divergent series I surprisingly left angry as (SPOILER) THE main character Tris died within the last few chapters.  "THIS IS YA!"  I practically screamed, "HOW COULD THEY!"  But, this was the wrong way to look at it.  I should say "BRAVO!  This is REAL!" just like I do with TV, but then again, I think you get a little more invested with books.  So shame on me.  I will be interested to see how moviegoers who did not read the book react when the final film comes out.

So now it will be interesting to see if any other networks follow suit.  Just because somebody is in the poster, doesn't mean they can't die, in fact, in many action shows it's impractical.  So, BRAVO POI, while I am so, so sad to see Carter go I think it's a step in the direction of more interesting American TV.

American Horror Story: The Axeman Cometh


So after last week, we were left with a lot of questions:  What is up with Zoe's sudden power... is she the new supreme or just married to the devil (my money is still on Misty for supreme).  What is Cordelia going to do now that she knows her husband is a psycho killer (Qu'est Que C'est)?  What the fuck is Myrtle going to do once she is heal?  Will we see Spalding in a dress again?  But most importantly, WHERE THE FUCK IS KYLE?!  Here is my live-blogged reactions of tonight's episode:


  • New Orleans 1919 looks pretty much like New Orleans today...?
  • We meet the title character in an ominous voice over, feels kind of Dick Tracy-ish.
  • Oooh Danny Huston!  I love me a great character actor!
  • Is it weird that this 1919 coven seems like a bunch of hipsters in brooklyn today "Should we bust out the Victrola and play some jazz yo?"
  • Of course, like hipsters, these bitches don't play jazz, they go with opera.
  • The death card does not mean, death.  That has always been a pet peeve of mine, generally the death card annotates a major change.  Sometimes it is a loss, but non usually.  I used to be really into Tarot okay!  Learn more here:  Death Card
  • Why are they stabbing him to death?  I mean, go women power or whatever, but can't they use their magic?
  • Zoe if you don't think Madison is dead, what are you doing with her shit?
  • Oh HELL NO!  Since I'm a kid I was NEVER allowed to have an ouija board, my mom told me they could let evil in and I have been TERRIFIED of them ever since.
  • Why is Zoe suddenly SO interested in being a witch? 
  • OH MAN MY MOM WAS RIGHT ABOUT OUIJIA BOARDS!  Queenie said so!
  • OH FUCK!  FUCK NO!  EEEEEEEEEEE This is the most scared I have been since season 1!
  • I thought Fiona wasn't gunna do Chemo....  and why can she read minds now... AND WHY CAN'T SHE CURE HER DAUGHTER???
  • OOoooh She is doing chemo for her daughter!  Maybe she does have good intentions.
  • ZOE!  STOP LOOKING FOR MADISON AND FUCKING LOOK FOR KYLE.  You are too dumb to be the supreme.
  • OH FUCK ZOE IS GOING TO FIND MADISON'S BODY!
  • Oh MY GOD is that doll room CREEPY!
  • OH YES!  This episode is gooooooooooood.
  • Why the hell would you cheat on a witch?
  • Did Spalding get knocked unconscious by a doll.
  • WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE GIRLS?
  • <3 Hearing Dennis O'Hare's voice even if it was creepy as hell.
  • Lily Rabe is gorgeous..... wait is she growing Myrtle?
  • KYLE HAS BEEN FOUND!!!
  • FYI did ya'll here Stevie Nicks will be making an appearance?
  • Will Kyle be able to talk at all this season.  I love Evan Peters TOO much to see him have a part that feels a little beneath him.
  • He does have the CUTEST tushie!
  • Awww.... He loves Zoe so much
  • WHAT!  CORDELIA'S HUSBAND IS IN CAHOOTS WITH LAVEAU?!
  • When did this turn into the Bride of Frankenstein?
  • She has been dead for DAYS!!!  It seems CRUEL to bring her back!
  • OOOOoooo so hott Moira was a witchey-poo.
  • So THAT'S how the coven has gotten smaller each year!  He's a witch hunter!
  • Oh Lawd Laveau is PISSED.
  • Sarah Paulson is an incredible actress.
  • OH SHIT!  SHE CAN SEE THE AXEMAN'S GHOST!
  • Can a ghost kill you?  I mean... they could season one but do the same rules apply?
  • Good God I hope next year they make Paulson a TOTAL badass.  I am sick of her playing the victim.
  • Oh GOSH Fiona is looking for her one last fling!  Is it going to be the Axeman?!?!
  • Oh the hat, fucking hell.
Next week's episode seems pivotal with Cordelia learning the truth about Madison's murder AND Queenie going to see Laveau.  Can't waaaiiitttt!!!
