LOL! It just got crazier and crazier.
MLK was a real person. This is like Brad Pitt playing a new version of Killmonger in a "Black Panther" production. For me, that's not a biggie.
The washed out sepia tone look that kills natural color is ugly, but oddly enough popular these days. Among others, they murdered "The Gifted" with this look.
Obviously she knows something is going on. That's why she's upset: no one will tell her what.
Sort of a tough watch for about the first half of the episodes. It gets better, but it still soapy and has some WTF elements to its plotting. I finished the first season, but don't think I'll watch season 2.
He didn't murder Billy, but he did a hell of a cover up. That crime would get him more time than the killing.
I don't see how anyone can be at fault for not knowing what is going on and reacting badly as a result. Obviously, you see it differently, so for you she's a bitch.
[quote]Ben didn't do anything wrong at all. The kid went there by himself. He was getting tortured and Ben risked his life to end it.[/quote]
Yeah! Yeah!! Be psychic, bitch! We just watched all that danger and lifesaving, didn't you? No? Where were you at, a BBQ or something?
People always want the wife character to be supportive no matter what. From her perspective:
1-She hasn't been told the truth about the callings and only knows Ben and his sister are acting awfully weird.
2-She's seen Ben get a job and get fired from it and not tell her a thing about the firing.
3-She sees Cal run off to be with his dad but has no idea why (see #1).
4-She sees the SVU with blown out windows on one side and evidence that both Ben and son have been hit by broken glass.
5-Ben keeps saying he's the only one who can keep Cal safe, but there's that blown up vehicle, and absolutely no explanation of what happened.
In real life you can't keep stuff like this under wraps and get anything but grief. That's what's happening here. The only question here is why Ben and Michaela haven't leveled with her. Or at least had leveled with her before Michaela's concern that those who are told die.
I agree with your opinion here. They gave a great backstory to Agent Liberty showing why he would become who he has. If they hadn't the storyline wouldn't be worthwhile.
She couldn't kill them. They had to enable Coco getting into the outpost and they had to initiate the end times for the witches plan to work. Without Mutt and Jeff the whole season wouldn't make sense.
Not that it actually made so much sense anyway.
I hadn't thought of this until you mentioned it, but you're right, it must now all have been undone. Sad for Moira and the others from my favorite season of AHS.
Honestly the additions and subtractions for this season have added - but I'm with you on Ghost Granny. I think the show would be better without her and without the super-sized Texas accents.
I'm guessing because she's pretty. Otherwise, there's not much there besides crazy and murderous.
Not that anyone will really care, but here's the story of the nonsense lyric used in the Steve Miller song.

[quote]I wish the theme song was the show.[/quote]
LOL. I thought I was the only one who liked the old school theme song.
I posted my own comment on this season, and basically, I agree with you. The show peaked a while back and continues downhill. The writers haven't seen fit to come up with something more compelling than Mickey f'ing up everyone's life, and the same dimwits (Daryll and Bunchy) acting like dimwits.
Maybe the show will improve and end up on a high note, but so far it seems more of the same old.
[quote]I will credit the show with the first real example of a downside to the powers, the daughter frying her laptop. That actually makes it look unappealing.[/quote]
And she almost fried her mother in one episode. If she had, or if she'd blown off her mom's arm, well, that would be even more unappealing.
BTW, new sperm is created daily while new eggs are not. That's just one reproductive that could play out differently for men than for women. Maybe the damage is already done and lack of period pain equals lack of viability. Nothing there has been determined, although I doubt the show would go there or let her harm her mother.
The point the show runners have made is that Jennifer is worried and that her powers are dangerous and have forced her to be home schooled and separated from friends.
Murder House was also my #1 season of AHS. It was great that they went back there and gave us some additional detail about the characters.
Jessica Lange is a great talent and made for this type of production. She plays right at the edge where she'd be over the top, but never really goes there. She's great to watch, and it was wonderful to see her again.
