Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
For anyone who didn't pick it up, the girl Hank shot was the girl who played the maid in the first season.

Holy shit, what a difference in make-up and hair makes. I didn't peg Moria.

And that scene was just crazy. I thought he was cheating on Lana simply because she was infertile. Nope, more sinister monster dude.
 
First episode I unequivocally loved. Frances Conroy tore shit up.

Yeah, this was the first episode that really held my attention. Highly entertaining, I just might stick around for the rest of this season after all. Just one thing, still don't care at all for the Kylestein monster story. Was hoping she would kill him with the rat poison and that would be that. The rest of this episode was great and the council scenes were all amazing.

who it is being burned at the stake. No way does Voodoo Queen get dealt with this fast. Maybe Conroy's character

this was my immediate thought to the preview:

i think it's 'Marie Laveau' (body + Queenie's mind) burning. I think Marie Laveau does a body switch w/ Queenie. In the preview they show Marie Laveau laying down in a circle, which leads me to believe she's gonna do a spell on herself (body/consciousness transference?) And then we see Queenie breaking a mirror (after Marie Laveau's body is burned at the stake she's trapped in Queenie's body? And in anger, breaks the mirror?)

Holy shit at that opening. And ending.

Spaulding is creepy. I did not expect that he actually cut out his own tongue.

Marie was fantastic, as usual. Delphine was a bit more subdued but still great. And Fiona was Fiona.

Can't wait for next week.

Wow, that was fucking awesome!! So many things happened, I'm having a hard time processing it all:

Zombies! :O

Living Minotaur head in a box!
its teeth looked sort of cute :3

Warlocks are the male witches in this universe? Not Wizards or Druids or something? Hm. I hope we eventually get to see more of them.

Poor Fiona, getting acid thrown in her eyes. :( Who would do that to her?

Frances Conroy omg bow before your qween! I just love her whole look. Ugh. She's so fab it hurts. The history she has with Lange is really interesting too. I loved the whole witch council thing.

Spaulding cutting out his own tongue, collecting dolls, playing dress up in a bonnet and gown, and keeping Emma Roberts in his room as a life size doll. WTF that's seriously one of the more bizarre things I've seen from this show.

Great great episode. One of the series' best.

EDIT:

Witch hunter I'm guessing

Whoa, you're thinking Fiona's husband might be a witch hunter? That's a cool idea! But if that's the case, then why hasn't he killed Fiona and the other witches yet? Also, what was up with him when he orgasmed during sex with the sexy maid from season one? His expression was so over the top, and the noises he was making...

And what was up with the whole "I played a monster last year" thing? Argh, so many questions!

I would SCREAM if it was holy water and Joan was the one who threw it! JFIUEHUINCDCS

Joan's the religious neighbor, right? That might be cool, although I don't know why she would hurt Fiona of all people...

I'm glad to see we're going to see a
coven of male witches
at some point further down the line. I think that'll be interesting.

Holy fuck YESS!! :O And
there are other breeds of male witches besides warlocks!!
!! omggg
 
anyone else thought that cordelia's husband was going to impregnate the redhead with a demon baby? like it finally worked, but on the wrong girl.

too bad he killed her.

also gonna go out on a limb and guess Luke Ramsey is the new Supreme (I think he's the one that set the curtains on fire, also has Fiona's 'gift' of people being attracted to him) I really think there's more to him than meets the eye.

He's quite a lot to take in as it is.

I like this theory.

Cordelia - Fiona is Jessica Lange's character.

Absolutely flawless episode. I was completely hooked all the way through
My only tiny complaint is the fact I wanted to see Fiona fuck up the Minotaur, but it worked out all good anyway
 
I rate episodes of AHS based on how many times I say "What the fuck?" during an episode. This was one of the better episodes.

WTFs:

- The minotaur head.
- Tea Time with Spaulding (tm)
- Fat Moira (well not fat but she's definitely put on weight, it's why she looks so different)
- Cordelia's boyfriends crazy eyes while he banged Fat Moira.
- Spaulding cutting out his own tongue.
- The acid attack.
- Tea Time with Spaulding 2 (tm) - Cross-dressing necrophiliac bonus edition.

"Madison Montgomery is a stone-cold bitch who loves hard drinking, big dicks, and trouble."

Line of the episode. #2 line of the season so far behind "LIEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS"

Cordelia and Joan haven't even met yet.

Oh, that's a good point at least. I didn't mean it as a serious prediction, lol. My real prediction are that it's either
the new villain - the Axeman
or something a little bit more unexpected like
Fiona
.

Regarding the fluid itself, Ryan Murphy himself confirmed in the latest interview that whoever it was, they indeed threw
....acid....
on Cordelia.

“If she’s dead, it’s probably because she got wasted and offered the grim reaper a hand job or something.”

I yelped.

The girl Hank shot did she know it was coming?

I thought that whole exchange was weird, its to tame/clean of a kill. It looked like a hired hit or some sick fantasy being played out by both of them meet somebody online who wants to die.

I was actually pretty interested to see if Alex (the actress) has said anything since the episode aired.

She has.

She says she'll be back in Episode 6

what about 'i couldn't toast a piece of bread with the heat they were putting on you.'? I loved that line.
 
Fun, fun, fun episode.

Frances Conroy killed it. So amazing. I also loved Queenie's description of Madison, the minotaur head in the box, Spaulding's tea party and tongue mutilation, and so much more.

Hey look AMC it's possible to make a show with zombies on it that doesn't suck.

Madison lit Fiona's cigarette, though.

yeah, it's just one theory. LOL I also think the Supreme could turn out to be Madison, who will eventually be resurrected by Misty Day, or something. And then there's that this is a Ryan Murphy affair, and nothing will make much sense when everything shakes out anyway. LOL -_-

I got a capture of the burnt stake at the end of the episode teaser for next week. I think it make it fairly obvious (or maybe narrows it down) as to who gets burnt, so click at your own risk.

Originally I thought they were burning a black person but now it kind of looks like its a hood.

I wonder if they totally wanted Dylan Mcdermott for Hank and the schedule just didn't work what with his other show or if they didn't want him to play his last two characters smashed together.

Yeah, he was giving off Dylan vibes in those hotel scenes.

From left to right (at the front), it looks like Zoe, Queenie, Nan, Fiona, Leslie Jordan and the Council witch who took the minutes. So in terms of characters we know, it's either Mrytle Snow ( because she threw the acid though I'll be pissed if they kill her off this early), Spalding, or one of the Voodoo, or someone new. From the relish with which Fiona flicks the match, it's probably either Mrytle (boo) or one of the voodoo (or whoever they think threw the acid at Cordelia). Hmm. I can't wait.

I'll be very disappointed if Emma Roberts' role in the rest of season is to be a corpse. She made a huge impression in the first three episodes (sharp contrast to Zoe, who, as the episode itself states, lacks for charisma).
 
What's the mythological difference?

Warlocks are often used to denote male magic users, but the term means oath breaker. It is more of a pejorative if you actually follow some school of magic. For example, witches were known to make oaths to their covens and the gods they worshiped. Warlocks would take power, break oaths and wreck havoc in their wake. Witch and Warlock are now more commonly less gender restricted also.

Here in the AHS universe Warlocks seem to be a thing. How they will play out remains to be seen.

Upcoming Spoilers concerning the question at hand:
Apparently there are Male Witches AND Warlocks. Take that as you will considering that we've already been exposed to two types of "magic".

I actually like Josh Hamilton better than Dylan tbh.
