      Tales from the Crypt???

      I was amused that the movie Bubbles McGee was filming was the first segment of 1972's Tales from the Crypt starring Joan Collins. Did anyone else catch that?

      Getting caught way more than enough in previous seasons.

      This season might run into multiple problems wrapping up the stories. We are reaching the closing episodes of this season, and yet we are still caught up in season 3,1 and some pre-apocalypse adventures. I would really enjoy watching cordelia, zoe, madison, and others roaming about on my screen, but there are also parts like Ms. Venable, Mr Gallant, Emily, Timothy and others in apocalypse that I feel are completely forgotten. There were so many half-baked stories in the first 3 episodes that I feel are going to waste.

      What is evident is that we have only 3 episodes to wrap up a story containing 3 very different seasons, and as the past coven/murder house episodes indicate, I highly doubt the writers dedicated enough time to fully appreciate apocalypse. I hope they don't wrap up this season, or leave it for another season. There were extremely interesting possibilities for a post-apocalypse show.

      the only thing left to see

      Is how Mallory defeats Michael. It's painfully obvious how this will end. Every episode between now and the finale is just filler. They gave away the ending weeks ago by showing how powerful Mallory is. They might as well just do the finale next week. If you remember Coven and Cult, when there's a battle of the sexes in AHS, the women win.

      This was okay

      Probably the weakest episode so far, not bad but definitly not great. Missed micheal, felt weird without him in an episode since it seems like this entire season is about him. NEXT episode looks BADASS tho

      Twas a bit of a sleeper

      Definitely a filler episode, as in it filled the blanks and felt natural. Downside is it didn't hold my attention 100% so if you're easily distracted keep that in mind.

      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        The scene Bubbles McGee (Joan Collins) is acting out is a direct satire of a scene from the Tales from the Crypt (1972) segment "And All Through the House" where the character played by Joan Collins also kills her husband, only to be attacked by an escaped mental patient dressed as Santa Claus. The same story line was also used in the "Tales from the Crypt" (1989) TV series episode "And All Through the House" directed by Robert Zemeckis.

        No matter how magically powerful Coco may be in sensing the calorie content of any food item, it would be impossible to verify her count to the nearest calorie without an exact knowledge of the ingredients, their weights, and cooking processes.

        Myrtle Snow: [referring to Bubbles] To this day, my mastery of the art of fellatio is unparalleled, thanks to this special teacher here at the table.
