I got confused here. How do Jessica Lange and Frances Conroy know each other, and how would Jessica know Frances is looking for... a pet? Or a maid?

Gloria and Dandy attended the show earlier in the season, I think when Dot sang 'Criminal'. Dandy told his mother to buy the twins, but Elsa declined the offer. At the time I thought Dandy wanted paid companions, but now I think he wanted them for other reasons.

Me, watching the opening credits: YAY! MATT BOMER!! YAY!!
Me, watching Dandy come up to Matt Bomer's table: NO! MATT BOMER!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Damn you, Dandy!! Damn your American Psycho voice over impersonation and your terrible habit of picking the most awesome guest stars for victims... Although I'm hoping Matt Bomer also turns out to be a freak... The Incredible Living (in spite of multiple stab wounds and loss of arms) Pretty Man!!! YAY!!!

I'm confused about the timeline here. Is what we saw in the beginning and middle the future? Or is it just Denis O'Hare's fantasy? I mean, Seal Boy and Dot n Bette are all right... right???

Good gravy! Emma Roberts CANNOT ACT!!!! Couldn't Dandy have finished cutting her in half instead of hacking into Matt Bomer?!?!?

And Dell's such a dick! He needs to wind up in Dandy's flower bed before anymore soul singers or pretty boys do!

I hope Desiree has a baby... or even triplets!!

And I'm loving the soundtrack even as I'm hating the guest star death rate. If Elsa sang Fame instead of Life on Mars again, maybe she wouldn't have gotten popcorn in her hair.

I really miss Twisty... and I miss Matt Bomer already :-(!!

Edited because my grammar is more atrocious than Dandy's stabbing habits at times.

And also to add, I keep reading suggestions that David Bowie might make an appearance at some point in the show. Which in theory would be awesome... but I'd rather him not show up at all- BECAUSE DANDY WOULD PROBABLY KILL HIM!!!!!

I also think Gabourey Sidibe was terrible in her phone scene. Or was it established last season that she can't really act? I quit that season about 5 eps in.

[GirlyGhoul]

Yeah, Gabourey Sidibe hasn't been very impressive in her stints on AHS thus far. I never saw Precious, but now I'm guessing her Oscar nod was a fluke.

But I've been watching the second season of AMC's Freakshow (A 'reality' show about the Venice Beach Freakshow) I already recognized George Bell the Tall Man from Freakshow here on AHS. He was in a couple 'blink and you'll miss him scenes' as one of Edward's menagerie of victims. First he was just on the floor dead but later he came out to help newly dead Twisty up off the ground. But anyway, I mention all that because on the last episode I watched of Freakshow- they had Amazon Eve on and she's been a regular on AHS from the beginning.

In the Freakshow episode, the owner was going to have a special show of Giants and Giantesses and tried to set George up with Amazon Eve. He said if they started dating, they would be the Tallest Couple in the World... so I think he was really hoping they'd hit it off. They played footsie in a hot tub (which both of them could barely fit into) but in the end George called up his old girlfriend and got back with her.

Still, it now makes me wonder if once Amazon Eve was hired onto AHS she didn't suggest George Bell as a handy Edward victim... or else it's just a coincidence that they hired him for the cameo. I mean, he's the Tallest Man in America... he doesn't really need any references to get hired on a show like this... he really just needs to be Tall. Although it tickles me to think of Amazon Eve reading ahead in the script and saying 'Hey, if you need a really tall man to lie on the floor and be dead, I know JUST the guy!!'

[hushhush]

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about Gabourey and her bad acting. I think she will probably be Gloria and Dandy's next landscaping project. If only she could take Emma Roberts and her bad acting along to the flower bed....

I'm concerned that as long as Evan and Emma are together we are going to be subjected to ER each season, perhaps with more screen time after Jessica leaves the show. I could deal with ER on Coven because she was supposed to be a bitchy spoiled brat, which, well, doesn't seem far off the mark. Don't think much acting was required! This season, however, she is really stinking up the joint! Dandy and Twisty's ghost need to whack her with her crystal ball and end our suffering.

I miss Twisty too. Dandy is full on psycho.The actor is really chewing the scenery...in a good way.
I love the night scenes at the Freakshow where you can hear the crickets singing. So beautiful.

Ok, at this point I've decided this season is being weird just to be weird. There's nothing really resembling a plot anymore beyond Stanley's desire to take a 'freak' home in a jar. Since his actions on this desire so far have been nothing more than fantasizing about it, it already fails as a storyline since it never progresses anywhere beyond his imagination (and he's already missed the opportunity to snatch up the ready made corpses of Meep and Twisty while he was busy day dreaming) So I give up on anything resembling story this season and will go with weird for werid's sake til the end (It's rather like second season Twin Peaks in that way)

Paul needs to change his stage name from 'Seal Boy' to 'Perpetually Imperiled Person'. This is the second episode in a row he's been shown in mortal jeopardy. Once, turned out just to be Stanley's vision... but this time Elsa's vision that actually became reality. I'm not sure if he survived at the end- I'm hoping Meryl Streep's daughter had the sense to get him some help (Hey, her sister played a doctor on TV!) But when everyone was wondering why the ambulance Elsa 'called' never arrived, Elsa missed a golden opportunity to get on stage and perform '911 is a Joke' to wow the crowd. She could both given them an alibi for the ambulance failure AND broken out of her David Bowie rut.

The Ma Petite scenes were both cringe inducing and terrifying. I know she's itty bitty, but she's an adult, people! First she got stuck waiting in a basket while witnessing Paul/Elsa nookie then had to spend the rest of the night in that same bed playing a cuddle doll?? YUCK! Worst job EVER!!! And I didn't realize I was claustrophobic til Stanley and Bad Actress shoved her in a jar not once but TWICE! Good gravy!!! Paul and Petite, the Perpetually Imperiled People is going to fill the gap that Dot and Bette's presence left... if Paul is still alive that is. It was unclear. Beardy Lady whose name just flew from my head said everybody was 'with' Paul- but I don't know if that means they were looking after him or sitting shiva. Here's hoping he survived, since he's one of the few folks on this show with a half way interesting storyline (and he's a WAY better actor than certain other people who just happen to have a famous aunty and engagement ring from contracted player...)

Dandy almost made me feel sorry for him with his lonely desert talks... But then I remember he killed Patti LaBelle and Matt Bomer so feels averted. His play room is about the best thing this whole season. Forget the Freakshow- all the action should take place in Dandy's playroom and its endless supply of WTF?! Props. Weird for Weird's sake indeed!

[hushhush]

I am wondering if Stanley's "third leg" might be what finally ends up in one of those jars instead of anything from the freak show.

Yeah, I'm hoping the tables get turned on Stanley and he takes over Elsa's 'Sing a Song from the Future' slot with a tearful rendition of 'It's MY D*ck in a Box!'.

I hope they don't attempt to redeem Bad Actress in any way. It WAS her idea to shove Ma Petite in a jar in the first place... and the fact she's still hanging out with Stanley means she needs to wind up in a jar too rather than run off and live happily ever after raising Lobster Children with Jimmy.

(Plus she's just such a BAD Actress!)

[GirlyGhoul]

Pardon my double post but... BOO! YOU WHORE... (of a Show)! What a terrible episode! The only highlight was Amazon Eve kicking Dell's ass ('Who's the Strong Man now!') except she didn't kick it hard enough!

Poor, innocent, vulnerable, tiny Ma Petite! It's so horrible because not only was she so trusting, but even if she wasn't quite as naive... she was pretty much helpless. Why couldn't she have roomed with Amazon Eve? Awful! I'm still deeply upset and hoping it turns out to be a bad dream... except then we got Ethyl's speech about hope being a crock.

Poor, poor Ma Petite! (And I would have loved to have seen her in the Rabbit Fur coat Jimmy apparently made for her!) At least she's in good company with Patti LaBelle, Matt Bomer... and Kurt Cobain who will be rolling in his grave after Jimmy Pro-Tooled the heck out of Nirvana... Err stick to wabbit hunting, kid! No more stinkin' up Elsa's stage, umm kay?

But BOO! on this show! Stop killing off the Awesome, the Sexy and the Innocent! I almost feel like writing Ryan Murphy an angry letter... but he'd probably just round up more awesome guest stars to kill off just to spite me! :-(!
