On Wednesdays we always wear black, but this week everyone put on your most fashionable black mourning outfit & hat because we have Nan’s funeral to attend. All the witches plus Kyle say their LAST goodbye to the Good Witch that will be spending eternity in the Dark Otherside. The promo teaser for the funeral was darkly comedic, and we know Fiona & Marie don’t give a damn. Are they in same cemetery where Misty is trapped? If so this would be the best time for Misty to make a fuss in that crypt. Can I get a AMEN?
There will be a lot about Delphine in this episode; her past and her present. Last time we saw Delphine her head was propped up on a TV dinner table and getting educated on African-American history. I know we’ve speculated with all sorts of wild crazy scenarios, but her HEAD finally does get reattached to a torso, and we were all #CrazyWrong.
Episode 11 starts off with flashback to 1830, and Madame Delphine LaLaurie has just moved to New Orleans. She wasn’t always a torturing serial killing monster, and we will learn how she acquired her blood thirsty habit for cruelty. I expect some grotesque scenes so fair warning to you scurrdy cats.
Forward to the present day and Delphine is finding her circumstances more and more intolerable. She finds comfort by returning to her horrifying pastime of old habits that will make her existence bearable again. Will she start torturing again? She finds an unexpected ally and kindred spirit who offers her a chance at getting the one thing she truly wants. But who is this kindred spirit, and what does she want? Does she want revenge? Or does she does just want to die for good? Whatever happens please tell me Papa Legba is involved. #DevilsAdvocate
Cordelia plotted to kill Mommie Dearest once. Then the witch hunters brought them closer, and then tore them apart again. Nan’s death will lead Cordelia to once again realize that she needs to stop Fiona and protect the Coven. She is feeling powerless & useless so Cordelia makes a desperate sacrifice to gain the power she needs to protect the Coven from witch hunters & her mother. What does she do? Ryan Murphy said “Sarah had to do one of the most upsetting things she’s ever had to do on the show but it’s great. She’s really desperate to get that power back and what lengths will she go to do it?”
Zoe and Kyle figure out the truth about Nan’s death and Madison doesn’t care. She’s too busy being jealous & dangerous. Myrtle grants Zoe an unexpected gift that will help her and Kyle with their plans for justice but Zoe is not thrilled with this gift.
Fiona’s ghost lover continues to give her murderous advice, and they make plans for the future. I have to say so far I’m unimpressed with the Axeman. His storyline has done nothing but add to Fiona’s determination to stay alive. #LovesGhostDick. The writers have three episodes left for him to bring something interesting to the story, or otherwise the talents of Danny Huston have been underused.
Queenie is back, and we find out what happened to her. Even though she is very bitter Cordelia tries to regain her trust. Hmm. Why is she bitter? She’s the one that betrayed the Coven. Oh wait maybe it’s because Cordelia married and witch hunter, and she shot herself in the head to kill her husband after he shot her.
Since the FBI raid & media attention, The Corporation will be forced to cover their tracks, and Hank’s father Harrison will be planning a double cross. Double cross who? My only wild guess would be his right hand man David but he needs that guy right?
The title of this episode is “Protect the Coven”, and all the stories are about everyone’s different agenda for protecting the Coven. Fiona and Marie try to do it in a deadly face off against the witch hunters. Now this is what I’ve been waiting to see, some ass kicking witchery….Watch American Horror Story: Coven on Wednesday, 10 pm EST on FX. Let’s start our weekly discussion now, and please stalk me on twitter @Urethra_F.
#LovesGhostDick. Best line ever.
LOVE reading your preview and recaps on this show! You are getting my all excited (ok, not in THAT way) for tomorrow night!!!
I love this show, I can’t wait to finally see all of it from the beginning on my DVR.
Hm I wonder if Delphine’s head will wind up on Queenie’s body, like that old horra movie with Ray Milland and Rose Grier!
*make that Rosie Grier
ive wondered if the Axeman ran Spauling off, we havent heard from him in a while now and dont think they want to share. If Joan was revived by Misty when Fiona asked her to, did drinking the bleach kill her again? Is that Delphines new buddy?
I don’t know if Papa’s her new buddy or not, but I was just taking a guess. But Papa Legba is back for the rest of the episodes too.
AMEN! Misty needs to get out and get that shawl back from the “stupid bitch”! I have hopes that it’s a magical shawl.
And if we were all sorts of wrong on our guesses of Madame’s head being attached to a torso, I’ll guess that it definitely means Queenie’s since she’s back and being courted by Cordelia? And are we wrong about the other theory attached to the minotaur?
I don’t know what’s left for her to be attached to other than her fly-infested self if someone gets it out of the cage at Cornrow City 🙂
No matter can’t wait, as usual.
#LovesGhostDick Love it! Laughing my buns off over here. Good one
I was asking if Joan died twice and now is Delphines new friend. Both have a reason to dislike both witches and voodoo. We will see tonight though!! What are we gonna do when the last shows have finished?
The image of bleach bubbling out of Joan’s mouth will be the last image we have of her this season. She is non factor for the rest of the season. Same goes for Luke & Nan. BuhBye dead. I told you all to wear black today.
Either Cordelia gouged her new eyes out or she sold her soul. After the raid at Cornrow City, they probably found Delphines body. We all know that Zoe and or Misty Day have the power to restore it. It’s also possible that Queenie did not die and has been laying low. She also knows where Delphine is.
That’s my theory too. I can’t count the times I’ve been wrong though, but I’m sticking to it: Cordelia blinds herself, and Delphine’s body stealthily removed from the cage and reconnected to the stealthily removed head from the dinner tray!
There is no Sex Warning for tonight’s episode. 🙁 That means it will be scary and gross.
chickens flop around a whole bunch more than that when they lose their heads.
Ruh Roh, I’m guessing you’re not referring to the already decapitated Delphine, in fact I don’t think we even saw that decapitation or the minotaurs.
Okay, this is already the best.episode.ever.
Damn, being on #westcoasttime, I still can’t help but come here and see the comments knowing I shouldn’t. God I wish I could control my nosy 🙁
DITTO, DAMN YOU WEST COAST, DAMN YOU!
It’s very gory this week west coast, but you know it is coming so you have time to look away.
Bella, u feel left out like I do w/ still 1 1/2 hours to go? sad face
LOL, WTF, I just hacked into someones Dish network and watched it, O M G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best episode ever! Cover your eyes JoJo, cover your eyes…..
Well aren’t you just a determined, talented little non-tater, putting your idle waiting time to good use!!!!
I wouldn’t know where to begin to do that. And even though I’m reading bits/pieces of what happened, it’s always still the best entertainment watching it when it comes on – hints or not! Can’t wait, but have to….
add on a 47 minute bj today and i think i am fucking the new supreme…
You are not fucking the new supreme. We do not even know who the new supreme is yet. Also, TMI. We don’t all need to know that.
ROFLMAO…..I know a very talented orthopedic surgeon in case of that TMJ and all (I have multiple titanium parts holding me together, and sex had NOTHING to do with it, dammit, just accidents 🙂
(sorry in advance TT for the left turn, my idle time is not being put to good use & other than Harry Connick Jr., American Idle is boring me.)
Oh boy! I’m tempted to go to Twitter, I’ve got my thumbs tied to my forefingers to make it more difficult. Typing with middle fingers 🙂
aaawww Spaulding just wants to be a mommy 🙂
Amazing episode! Edge of my seat from beginning to end!!!
The Axeman looks really pissed off next week. Maybe Fiona dies!
Even I was surprised at some of these developments. OMG the baby!
That dialogue was crazy funny & twisted. It was almost like watching a David Lynch movie.
Myrtle’s pompousness cracks me up. And Marie is one real bitch, just like Fiona.
And finally some crazy ass shit by the Axeman. Love it.
What did you all think of Delphine & Queenie”s miraculous recovery? Was it almost too easy? … and Kathy Bates in a dog collar? ROFLMAO
I have to watch it again now with subtitles so I can really get all the good dialogue that I missed because I was laught and hollering.
But lets keep the discussion going here for now. I want to know what you all loved or hated. Check back tomorrow for my recap/blog.
the benedryl was pretty good, i got a real chuckle out of that! Fiona and Marie at the business meeting was great too. Its hard to pick a favorite the whole thing was good.
The ending with the baby was creepy good. And Myrtles conversations about Rosenthal and DVF. When Delphine served the soup, I said outloud (to Banjo I suppose) OMG look at the gold rimmed Rosenthal dishes. /swoon.
Was there poop in the soup?
I BADLY was WAITING for a “Don’t fuck with me fellas” line just like Faye Dunaway at the Pepsi Board meeting in Mommie Dearest.
the soup looked pretty brown and Delphine had that smile on her face..the ghosts in this show seem to be just like a live person when they want.
I bet we can all agree on this, #DELPHINEISARACIST she was priceless tonight with the Benadryl, poop soup and the freaking knife work, geez, they are all scary!
does olympian ejaculate smell different than non olympians?
Let’s ask our resident sex expert Isabella. This sounds like her department. No Olympians notches on my bedpost. I’m selling TT short, maybe she knows?
As a matter of fact, Olympian ejaculate has a slight tangy taste of winner where as non-Olympian just taste like slimey copper pennies. I knew this whoring around thing would eventually pay off!
Loved this ep, mostly. Dialogue was excellent. I am thinking more and more that Delia is the Supreme. Tiny hint (I might be reaching here) but she had a bee brooch on her funeral hat. Queen bee?
As for the promised clues to Season 4, I didn’t pick anything up.
Here’s a thought. What if Cordelia is the Supreme, has known it all along and is pretending to be inept to throw Fiona off the scent? What if the girls’ growing powers are all coming from her? Be pretty sweet if the nicest person on the show turns out to have been playing everyone…
I love this theory!:)
why gouge out your own eyes if you are the new supreme though? Fiona was the youngest supreme ever and all these girls appear younger than she was. Did Cordelia sense Misty at the cemetary and just dissmiss it?
I wondered that, too. She had a look on her face like something was up. As for the eye-gouging, that’s a good point. There are just so many clues that it’s her.
Exactly, another of my issues, although I’m mildly happy I got one guess right that she gouged her own eyes out!
As for Zoe and Kyle…um…she refers to him as “damaged goods” and he is a timebomb who may or may not choke her to death. Romantic, huh? Please, Ryan, give Evan a decent role next season. This season in general has been disappointing. I’m excited for every new episode and while there have certainly been highlights, this has had so much unused potential.
smidge: AHS has major cred and this being the 3rd season with oodles of high-fives, WTH only 13 episodes with this much story? Ryan Murphy is TV golden (mostly) and FX is one of the cable channels known for giving their showrunners oodles of rope to extend their typical 1 hour of show and their # of shows.
We’re being short-changed I think. This is one of the best Seasons but it’s been overloaded with too much plot/characters and not the time to properly explain it/them 🙁
PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST The new post is up!!!!
Oh Geez TT, wonder if I should copy & post my thoughts from here over to there? I didn’t expect it to come until later, and I’ve just seen it now??? clutching my pearls.
Is it wrong to be slightly attracted to the Axeman? 🙂
Xanadude, I would say no, it’s not wrong. The Ax Man is HOT!…..but then I’m slightly attracted to Kathy Bates, so I’m prolly not the best person to answer that question. ;^)
Tried something new this episode – like a poor relation of what I think TT does during shows: type quick notes on funky Windows Notepad while the show aired, so I wouldn’t forget this time what I saw when I saw it.
Well, I’ll wait for the recap by UF.
Because I just read my observations and they’re all uncomplimentary about this episode and more questions than answers. Since I was sober, I’m getting the impression I wasn’t all that thrilled with what I saw. I must read an intelligent recap and all the comments before I’m the only one looking the fool 🙁
JoJo you didnt like this week? Too much gore? Tell us your thoughts
steve: gore didn’t bother me at all – I’m a typical 21st century TV watcher who’s become desensitized
.
Implausibility and/or these plot holes and I think the pace or how the episode seemed to jump around too much.
For just couple e.g.:
Why are we just to accept Queenie and Madame are whole with not a teeny explanation how the hell that happened?
Ghosts can be seen and carry out axe murders in public? Since when and why? If it were inside their place of murder, like Spaulding in the house, maybe I’d get it. If not, explain Ghost Rules Ryan Murphy!
Why do we care about Kyle & Zoe at all? Is Kyle a semi-socialized free-thinker but can go killer, neck-snapper, then blissfully run off into the blue with Zoe? And when did Zoe switch from power-growing protector of the Coven to run-for-the-hills w/ a half-wit? Why do we care?
Why can’t Myrtle stop mumbling or speed-reading those wonderful speeches – I don’t have close caption!!!
And at this stage of the game, how in the hell are we to believe the giant, respected, financial institution of trained and powerful Corporation Witch Killers would invite 2 of the known deadliest witches to a meeting in the first place, in a small conference room, and without 50 Witch Snipers with AR-15s loaded with silver bullets trained on them the whole time?
Ok, just a few of the things I was miffed at. Some are questions and some are such a stretch for even our imaginations, and others are plot holes. I’ve got more waiting for the recap and the whole backstory on Madame is one of them 🙂
