I've got both series, but I haven't got round to watching them :(

I only saw the first episode of 2 and 3. Now, I tend to make fun of whatever I'm watching; Rifftrax, MST3K, Retsupurae, Unskippable....I'm a big fan of all of those. I don't loudly mock films in the theater, but in private when I'm with friends it's just nonstop riffing from all of us. Kelly and I love doing it to Star Trek.

American Horror Story: The Coven was just too easy to make fun of.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

I was worried, after the asscrack bandit episode, that the show was going to go flat. This Chang'd my mind.

American Horror Story: The Coven was just too easy to make fun of.

I'm a wee bit perplexed as to how this has managed to be its highest rated season. It's had a few enjoyable moments (mostly watching Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett be evil together these past couple episodes, plus Kathy Bates hamming it up in all the right ways), but it's mostly managed to combine the major flaws of the first two seasons (excessive narm/iffy acting in season 1 & a lack of cohesion in season 2) without hitting on the stronger points. Shame, 'cause I was excited when I first saw the list of actors appearing in this season.

I swear, if season 4 is about vampires or werewolves, I'm giving up on this show.

Apparently the various pagan communities are divided on it, too.  Half are loving it, half are crying about how it's portraying witches and voodoo in a bad light.

Witchcraft is being portrayed more as a tool than anything else (it's been used for good and evil, depending on the witch), but voodoo has been given the same treatment it usual receives in Hollywood (i.e., dark, "tribal" ceremonies, selling souls, animal sacrifices, etc.)

Which annoys me, but not so much that I can't deal with it.

Then again I haven't cared about American Horror Story at all.  My mother does, and is actually enjoying Coven, but even she admits it has problems.

On a whim, I watched an episode from the most recent season of The Simpsons. Yeah, it was about as utterly godawful as you'd expect.

I haven't watched The Simpsons since before Flanders got, well, Flanderized. On a scale of Citizen Kane to The Brown Bunny, how bad was it?

I'd have used Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Is anyone else watching "Helix"? It's not bad at all for a Syfy original.

I saw a little bit of helix.

There was one part where they were doing a montage of sciency stuff, and im like FINALLY PROPER PROCEDURES IN A SCIENCE SHOW

And then the virus grew into this weird black mass in 5 seconds and that disappointed me.

It's supposed to have evolved into something else and has a sort of sentience. The scientific procedure for the rest of the stuff on the show is pretty spot on, though.
