I love AHS. I've watched every episode up until now. I want to love this season because Emma Roberts and Matt Czuchry are favorites of mine. This episode was completely ruined by Kim K. She's awful. She can't act. She looks like she's made out of plastic. I guess the "horror" this season is having to look at what she's done to her face - she's hideous. The insecurity and self-hatred she must have to have butchered herself like that is truly pathetic. Her presence makes me not want to watch, so I've removed this show from my DVR. I'm not rewarding Ryan Murphy with ad revenue for destroying a once-favorite show. If there's a season 13 - with REAL actors like Frances Conroy or Adina Porter instead of horrible stunt-casting - I'll come back. Until then, no thank you.

I have mixed feelings about this season and especially about this episode. It was very emotional, well-acted, serious, all that stuff. It wasn't "horror," though. There was nothing scary about it. It was very depressing, though. I'm of the generation that came of age in the early '80s, having started college in 1984. I witnessed the AIDS crisis firsthand, watching so many of my friends get sick and die during that decade. I don't need a TV show to remind me what it was like to be a gay man in the '80s because I remember exactly how it felt.

It's not that this kind of story shouldn't be on TV; I think it's important to tell people what happened. That said, had I known this season of AHS wasn't going to be a horror story but rather a story of the start of the AIDS crisis, I probably would have opted out. Or I could have at least made myself emotionally prepared for it. Instead, I'm stuck in PTSD-land crying over memories of the loved ones who were taken far too soon.
