Really had high hopes for this episode (mostly due to the high action, engaging masterpiece that Gaslight was) and honestly I hate to say I'm disappointed.

I feel like actors such as Finn Wittrock, Evan Peters, and Frances Conroy deserve to have good endings for their characters. This episode was one of the most rushed I've ever seen in this series and it absolutely sucks because I genuinely thought this season would end up in my top 3. It's really a pity because the cast was literally perfect this season and they killed every character within two episodes.

For a while, I was on board with Double Feature consisting of 2 short seasons, but now I'm starting to rethink. I am now thinking maybe it isn't a problem that AHS' seasons are two long and lose momentum by the end of the season. I just don't think Ryan Murphy knows how to end a storyline. Not since the flawless endings of Freak Show and Asylum.

I normally write a paragraph on each stunning actor but if I had to judge this episode- I would write one for every single person. But the forever shining star was Lily Rabe and her performance deserves every award possible.

Rabe is a genius. The raw emotion Doris portrayed throughout this season is INCOMPARABLE to any character before. Never have I had more words to say about an actor in this series. Lily Rabe is and will forever be a star in American Horror Story.

American Horror Story is too often a hit or miss with their seasons. Some are too boring and drawn on, others have too many storylines to pay attention to one. Double Feature is different. With the right cast and stupendous writing and plot, this season deserves in my opinion as many Emmy nominations as early seasons.

Angelica Ross is gorgeous onscreen- with the Chemist being such a morally intriguing character, it's hard to not like her even if she is bringing doom to the entirety of Ptown.

Frances Conroy deserves millions and millions of applauds from every corner of the globe. She completely STUNS me with every appearance and I adore the very conflicted views Belle Noir's backstory brings me to have (similar to the chemist).

Evan Peters is always a marvel but Austin in drag- honestly one of my favorite AHS moments overall. The amount of ease Evan always puts into his roles will forever be a cemented foundation of the show.

I wish this episode was longer and we got to explore everyone more but I have a feeling the next couple weeks will c r u s h me and all other longtime fans.
