I appreciate the clever title of the season finale, “AfterBirth”, following last week’s “Birth” but also feeling like the remnants of something beautiful and frightening at the same time.

I predict that by next week’s season finale Ben will have completely lost it so he replaces Vivien’s occupancy in the loony bin, or he will join the other “living” dead in the Murder House. Either way, he’s not making it out functionally alive at the end.

At the end of at least the last 3 episodes I have sat up at the end and shouted “All right, already! Figure it out, Ben! Vivien! The House is a Bermuda Triangle of Spirits! Get with the program!” as I shake my fist in the air like an old man at the neighborhood kids.

F you, Ryan Murphy and AHS for giving me the worst nights of sleep before the opening credits of the freaking show. I basically huddled in a fetal position for two nights before I found the episode again on my DVR to watch it full through. In the daytime.

I was jazzed that there was an actor with Down’s syndrome in a prominent TV role – it felt like a step above something for me. And it felt like a cop-out to off her.

I’m beginning to wonder if this show is messing with me. Either my hearing is off or the show is changing things, or (more likely) the effect of this show is starting to make me crack…I’m beginning to think the Murder House is capable of transcending the screen like the crazy girl in The Ring…

I could do without a shirtless Dermont Mulroney. He’s not a bad looking guy, but his character is still a scumbag, and I can’t look at his naked torso and think ‘sexy’; I look at him and think ‘lying douche’.
