We're not getting anything informative or interesting to fill in the blanks that still remain. Why are witchcraft and voodoo at war? Why, exactly, did Fiona resurrect Delphine? Why is resurrected Kyle severely mentally handicapped while all of the other resurrected characters seem to have their intellects intact? What does the supreme really do?
I feel like all of these questions have been answered in pretty overt ways throughout the series:
The Voodoo witches believe their spells were stolen from them during the slave era. Though it seems to be more a matter of Laveau hating white folks for what she's witnessed throughout history, especially the acts perpetrated by Delphine. This was made apparent when one of the hairdressers was more sympathetic to the coven only to be shot down by Laveau, mirroring the scene in the 60s where a young hairdresser let their kid go to a mixed school at Laveau's protest only to have him ending up lynched.
Fiona resurrect Delphine in hopes of finding the secret to her humanity.
Kyle's essentially Frankenstein's monster produced by two amateur witches with no power in resurgence, everyone else who's been brought back have been resurrected as themselves by Misty who is so powerful Myrtle believes that she's the next supreme.
The supreme leads the coven; uniting and protecting them from threats, teaching them to control their powers. It's been stated multiple time Fiona has been a terrible supreme thus it's never really been seen in the show.
I don't think the shows perfect; I think it's good schlock with some interesting character dynamics, an original backdrop, and some great moments. However I don't get the feeling any of these questions are actually blanks that need to be filled. I feel the same about the character motivations, I'd agree that the rules of magic aren't made totally clear I don't think they need to be.
But other than that, who really gave a shit about Luke and his crazy mother? She killed his father? Are we supposed to care?
I should care because Nan clearly cares about him and I find her to be one of the most likeable character in the show. However Misty's knack for resurrecting anybody that's died makes it hard to.
Anyway I enjoyed last nights episode, mostly due to there finally being some form of progression and Myrtle getting shit done in horrendous ways. The last scene went over the top in exploitation but the show going over the top is one of the reasons that I like watching it. Also I'm left wondering if Cordelia's faking the loss of her new power.
