"AHS #100" Was A Blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                No, darlings, Sarah did not appear.  I was wondering whether she was behind the hood of the executioner who saved Brooke,  but she was not.  And I loved how Brooke, prior to zero hour, gave a few Emma Roberts-isms to show she is no Little Nell from the country.

                                It was fun seeing Montana all beach bunny, killing that red haired dude, who was as dumb as a Judge Judy litigant.  But the idea of them staying there, at Camp Redwood, is getting stale, but I have the feeling everything is building to the music festival, Margaret, now married to Trevor, who thinks he is blackmailing her, but who is he kidding, is now in real estate, dressed like Ivana Trump!!!!!!!!!  And there was a cute appearance by Leslie Jordan, who does the dwarf assistant routine.  A riff on Dwight Frye in "Frankenstein?"

                                 Speaking of riffs,  I thought Margaret's idea of making theme attractions out of murderous places was a great idea.  I would visit every one.  But how many noticed one was the house from "Horror House," and the mental hospital from "Asylum?"  How does this come into the cumulative mix?

                                  I mean, the music festival at Camp Redwood will be a cumulative blood bath.  Worse, even than the assassination in Altman's "Nashville," only without social commentary.

                                   Lastly, the marvelous John Carroll Lynch almost stole the show in tandem with Ramirez, who, I was disappointed to learn, survived the martyr attack--or did he?  When Ramirez sees Richter drive off, he gets vengeance by killing Richter's ex-prostitute wife!!!!!!!!!!  The baby survives, and Richter gives his son to his wife's sister, and Richter is back on the predatory prowl, out to get Ramirez, and several others along the way.

                                    I have to say this was the fastest moving episode I have ever watched.

                                    Now, if only Margaret will get the comeuppance she rightfully has coming to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Oh and The Spellman novels are a series by Lisa Lutz about a family of private detectives; The Spellman Files, Curse of the Spellmans, Revenge of the Spellmans, Trail of the Spellmans, and a couple more I can’t think of at the moment!

  3. I hate it when Ryan Murphy makes me eat my words, but after this I guess I have to take back my disappointed critique of last weeks ep. It proved to be an excellent bag of red herrings setting up the fun for this weeks ep, which was hugely better. Looks like I'll get to see Jingles avenge himself on Margaret after all (tho I felt bad for his ex-prostie wife, who really seemed to care for him).

    My jaw dropped when the executioner was revealed as Angelica Ross! Was not expecting her at all: actually forgot all about her. I did get the feeling something was up with the executioner: it seemed they were not giving the fully lethal dose at first, but I couldn't quite tell. And I did subliminally pick up that the emphasis on the executioners hand movements being vaguely feminine-dramatic (but dismissed this clue because "executioners are always male"). So I sort of expected Brooke would be rescued, but figured it would most likely be by Ramirez somehow tricking her into a Satanic pact.

    BTW, Matthew Morrison is really giving me the vapors this season with his stache-porn-god persona! Never really thought of him that way when he was on Glee, but mother jones, is he hot and sexy in an oh-so-70s way as this character!

  6. My Dear,
    Yes, David and I were surprised by Angelica Ross,
    but when will her trans status be revealed?

    I knew Broke would survive somehow, and I want to
    see Jingles get his on Margaret. The scene where he
    found his wife dead, then gave up his son was'
    heartbreaking!
