American Horror Story S8E7: Traitor

“Is it really that bad?” My partner asked me this morning, as I was moaning about having to watch and write about another episode of this season.

Yes,” I replied emphatically, angrily scratching behind the cat’s ears.

“Worse than Coven?” He replied, raising his eyebrows in disbelief.

Doctor Who: Tremendous – Ardent Rosa Defines Illustrious Story

Well, it’s that time – by which I mean, back in it.

Yes, it’s the coveted History Episode, ie, the part of Doctor Who that I have a punishing soft spot for. Even aside from superb episodes like The Empty Child/Doctor Dances and The Unquiet Dead, I’ll go to mat for nonsense like Robot of Sherwood, just because I’m a sucker for anything set in the past (well, I draw the line at Thin Ice, but you catch my drift).

But, judging by this excellent second episode, Fortune and Men’s Eyes, I think I might just have been wrong.

American Horror Story S8E6: Return to Murder House

Okay, so in this greatest-hits season, we’re finally getting around to some of the songs I can actually sing along to: in Return to Murder House, Emma Roberts and Billy Porter roll back the clock to season one to figure out what the hell has been going on with Michael Langdon, starting with a visit to his original home, the Murder House from the first season. And I loved this season, I really did, so this should have been a win for me. And yet…
