American horror story season 10 episode 1 professional#
Just like it’s virtually impossible to eat just one Oreo and then walk away from the bag, it’s equally difficult to achieve one coveted professional milestone and then walk away peacefully satisfied. It’s all “I love you, Daddy” when they’re greasing their palms with allowance, but things turn ugly in a flash when that giving hand starts turning up empty. His attempt to pump the brakes gets his neck chewed out by the fruit of his loins. Harry tried to stop, telling his daughter that now that spring is on its way, and he’s written what amounts to five years of work in one winter season, they can go cold turkey with the black pills. In the case of Harry and Alma, they never get to enjoy the success they quite literally killed to achieve because they were so consumed with obtaining even more of it. In my recap of episode five, I theorized that the tricky thing about success is that success isn’t the real draw it’s the striving and the doing that get you to it, and I stand by that, especially as a thematic map pin stuck in this finale. The moral? Be careful what you wish for because you won’t even be able to appreciate it after you get it because you’ll already be wanting something else, something more. Although I found myself tipping a bit toward the “Well, okay, that’s that, then” side of the scale as the credits rolled on “Winter Kills,” it was still an exceptional finale.Īlma (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) severed all remaining ties to her humanity, Belle (Frances Conroy) and Austin (Evan Peters) died at the hands of the talentless piss-ons they so desperately feared becoming, and Ursula (Leslie Grossman) and the Chemist (Angelica Ross) turned Hollywood into a deep-fake, real-time Walking Dead soundstage. The team behind American Horror Story has often been chastised for crafting amazing introductions to their seasons that then run out of gas toward the end, but I doubt if anyone will feel that way about this season. While the conclusion to part one of Double Feature could have gone in many different directions, it followed a pretty clear-cut path, as far as Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk projects go.
Alma can now, and forever, shove her violin straight up her lobster roll. I haven’t grown this attached to an ensemble of malcontents and a-holes in a long time, and, well, I’m going to miss them. While Evan Peters and Frances Conroy both make a magnificent entrance when Harry visits the local restaurant, with the pair stepping out on stage for a sing-a-long before setting their sights on the unsuspecting writer.Īustin Sommers (Peters) and Belle Noir (Conroy) claim to both be writers whose careers took a turn for the better after spending the winter in Provincetown, and they try with all their might to get Harry and his family to stay.īelle is not of this world, though, as it is later established that she has sharp teeth like the Pale People and she even demands to drink the blood of local gigolo Mickey (Macaulay Culkin) for cash.As much as I’ve been looking forward to the finale of “Red Tide,” in hopes that the bloody footpath laid out in the previous episodes would lead somewhere delightfully horrible and surprising, I’ve been dreading it all the same.
Something is clearly afoot in Provincetown because several houses have red lights that turn on at night-something the Gardner's don't have, which perhaps could explain how they've inadvertently made themselves a target. The hissing creatures look more like Nosferatu than Ariel, but they are certainly terrifying even if they're easily evaded by Harry, Doris and Alma throughout the course of the episode. Unlike the show's first season, " Murder House," the creatures are lurking outside rather than inside the property, and the family become a target for the Pale People almost as soon as they arrive. In true AHS style, when Harry and his family first arrive at their new home, Alma remarks how it's the kind of house that would be haunted, something that bodes well for them because fans are well aware how that's played out in the past.
