    Yeah, it was different. Not bad.

    I guess people just don't get camp anymore. I noticed this episode seemed awfully short after watching it on dvr. I went to imdb and saw that it was indeed a pretty short episode, which is the only thing I didn't like about this episode. After seeing the low score I read some reviews wondered what everyone else had watched. The scenes with Sandra Bernhard and the Satanist church were clearly meant not to be taken seriously, you know... It's the church of Satan. A little comic relief never hurt anyone. I thought it was a pretty clever way to fill in some back story.

    Mostly cringe-worthy

    I don't know what the writers were thinking. The Satanists were so stereotypical and unbelievable that I couldn't take them seriously. Terrible writing and direction this episode. The only good thing about it was Cody Fern.

    Sandra Bernhardt

    Sandra Bernhardt was a waste in this episode. She is a horrible actress and was trying to force humor down our throats. It didn't work for me

    This was a FLOP!

    HAIL SATAN! I wasn't a fan of this episode at all. It almost seemed like it was a spoof of AHS. For a season with only 10 episodes, I feel this was completely unnessisary. But, I also can understand it's importance for story development.. however, it lacked enthusiasm and shifted away from the shows eerie aesthetics. Hope the next 2 episodes are good because this season has been wonderful up until now.

    A Spoof of the American Horror Story

    Michael Langdon learns what happened to his allied that were burnt at the stake. Cordelia appears and invites him to join he coven, but he declines to look for his father. He goes to the forest and unsuccessfully summons Lucifer for several days to know what he should do. Starving and dirty, he wanders until he stumbles upon a church that worships Lucifer. A woman named Madelyn Lurch takes him home, feeds him and learns that he has the mark of the Antichrist. She presents him to the High Priestess Hannah Putt and the worshipers at the church and then drives him to a company where the owners may help him.

    "Sojourn" seems to be a spoof of the "American Horror Story". The powerful Michael Langdon looks like a powerless loser until he meets the wealthy and drugged Dumb and Dumber that are not Lloyd and Harry but Mutt and Jeff. For a Satan's worshiper, Madelyn Lurch is a gentle middle-aged woman bringing a homeless home to feed him. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Sojourn"
