AHS S:6 Ep:7 9 Deuce Discussion
Welcome ladies and gentlemen. I just gotta say, wow. They tried to outdo the Walking Dead with the death count this week. You know who the winner is? We, the fans. This is fantastic. I always have these vague references to dudes with lots of women, and then I consider who my target demographic is and realize that nobody would get the reference, and it makes me sad. Anyway, I am joined by 4 ladies again this week because chicks dig the dolphin smooth look. I will say thank you to Melanie, Cece, Stef, and Kelly this week. The way this goes is simple. I ask 9 episode specific questions and then 2 bonus questions that can be anything AHS related. I provide plenty of typos and grammatically incorrect questions, and we some fun. Thank you for reading, and thank you ladies for the help!
Please feel free to leave your own questions or comments in the comment section. For example, tell me one person who will be dying this upcoming episode. Also, was the Priscilla in the opening 5 seconds of the episode?
P.S. Sometimes the formatting messes up and the answers are not the way that they should be. If you notice any errors, feel free to yell at me. My apologies to Kelly as I already botched her #5 response. If others are fucked up, let me know.
- Who is the most interesting character now that we have had a massacre?
Melanie: Agnes
Cece: I am starting to be more interested in Shelby now. She must be feeling so much shit.
Stef: I think this leaves Dominic as the most “interesting”, after his confession about why he came back to do the show. (Kent: He would have been my answer had Finn not been in this week’s episode. I really dug his confessional.)
Kelly: It’s going to have to be Lady Gaga because they’ve already revealed that she is the original Supreme and we need some more info on that. (Kent: Yeah, that commercial for her new album was…something. Shame that we haven’t seen her in a couple of weeks now.)
Kent: It would be incredibly cliche for me to say Pig Head or Priscilla at this point, and although Dom really raised the bar this week, the obvious answer is Finn’s character that we caught briefly glimpses of this week.
- What’s up with Matt? He claimed to have not remembered his first encounter with Gaga. We now know that he remembers stuff and fell for her. Yet, he was still a dick to Shelby and Dominic. What do you make of Matt now?
Melanie: This is reason he came back. He remembered his encounters and couldn’t get enough of that crazy! (Kent: Some dudes are just drawn to crazy chicks. I cannot relate in the least bit.)
Cece: I still think he is being possessed, or rather, unwillingly enslaved and in debt to her character.
Stef: Yeah, that was rather confusing. How do you NOT remember things that happened in the woods, but you came back for her because you’re in love with her?? Doesn’t make any sense. Maybe he was still “entranced” when he said that?? Doesn’t matter now, because Shelby bashed the SHIT out of his “non-recollecting” skull.
Kelly: The only thing I can assume is that she had him in a trance of some sort. Maybe she found out he was back and came to see him again. It doesn’t seem likely he’d come back for her if he really forgot their first encounter. He shouldn’t remember her, which makes sense as to why he was resentful towards Shelby’s affair. What do I make of Matt now? Well, orange juice because he’s pulp. *cue finger guns*
Kent: OK, while I think that he was in a trance based on how he was walking when he got up and went to the basement, I will just go in a different way. Matt was just playing both sides. He was playing the whole “I’m possessed” bit while pounding some sweet Witch strange. He claimed that, and then he acted all pissed off and defiant about the Shelby thing so he could act the victim and be portrayed in the media as a victim. He was playing that well. Kudos!
- Were you disappointed by no big name returns this week, or were you satisfied with the episode?
Melanie: Happy to see Finn Wittrock back! Let’s be happy for small favors, lol.
Cece: I’m not sure honestly. I’m still in tune regardless.
Stef: I found this episode incredibly intriguing, but seeing more familiar faces would’ve made it more fun.
Kelly: No one wants in on this contract.
Kent: It appears that had I waited a day or 2, I could have read that we had 1-3 big names return, so I come off looking like a jackass. Good times.
- I will probably keep asking this question, sorry for redundancy, but are you sticking with your lone survivor prediction, or are you picking somebody new?
Melanie: I still think it is Lee. She will be without a leg, but yes.
Cece: I may choose someone new due to this episode. My first choice just got turned into jerky. Sooo, I’d say maybe Dominic?
Stef: Well, Lee was my lone survivor prediction, but uhhhhh…. ??? She’s at least missing parts now. Maybe it’ll be Dominic.
Kelly: If I stay with one, Shelby (Lily). But at this point you killed off half the damn cast! Who cares who lives!
Kent: Well I predicted not one, but 2 people last week in saying that it was either Rory or possibly Sidney. Well, once again, looking like a jackass. Since I don’t like Lee, I’ll say Lee and hope that the Polks have a big appetite. I am absolutely cheering on Dom though.
- Pick one: A) Lee was smart for having a gun. B) Lee was a dumbass for not bringing more ammo.
Melanie: Option B…you always need more ammo.
Cece: I say both. She did waste most on Edward Mott though. (Kent: I say pick one. You are disqualified.)
Stef: OMG, B!! Obviously!! Shit.
Kelly: Lee was a dumbass for not bringing more ammo. They didn’t know what they were dealing with! And she should have know out of that trio since she lived through it!
Kent: B is the right option. When you watch what I watch, you learn a few things. You don’t shoot your enemy just once. You shoot them at least twice, and one bullet should be for their head. Secondly, you never just hit your assailant just once. You hit until their head is goo. You should also wear a leather jacket and a baseball bat with a female name, but that’s just outrageous and nobody would ever do that.
- Did Lee, Audrey, and Monet make the right decision, in theory, not utilizing hindsight, in venturing out to find Sidney instead of just going to town? Town is an hour and a half to 2 hour walk depending on pace and getting lost. Sidney’s trailer should be relatively close, so keep that in mind.
Melanie: Whatever they chose, they would have gotten caught.
Cece: I think maybe they should have headed to town, but no one really knew what they were gonna find out at the trailer.
Stef: I wouldn’t have wanted to wander around in those woods, knowing it was going to get dark soon, and potentially end up lost. Trying to find Sidney’s trailer just seemed like the obvious/smarter move.
Kelly: I think IF I were in that scenario I’d likely choose the trailer first. I feel like that’s instinct to go to the nearest thing first.
Kent: Knowing what I know, I find the road. I do not walk on the road. I walk close to the road while being in the woods. I keep going until I find a house that looks civilized and take my chances. Why? If I’m ever in a situation with some killers, they have probably watched the same shit that I have and are waiting to ambush me in the easiest and most likely places to get me. So zig when they are zagging and you may survive. None of my contributors would live, sorry ladies.
- Would you have eaten some Lee flesh if put in the same position as Audrey and Money were put in by the Polks?
Melanie: Hell no!
Cece: Not much of a choice…
Stef: Oh god, I don’t know. If that were a REAL situation, I may have already been puking.
Kelly: I don’t think the Polks really care about money… They lived off the land, remember? 😛 (Kent: Sigh….well played. I am notorious for my typos.)
Kent: Sure, why not? I’m not saying that I am totally psyched about Ma Polk’s seasoning, but if prepared properly, it seems more enticing. I also just watched 6 Wrong Turns last night, so don’t judge me. Also, Pa Polk should have been played by Sid Haig.
- Is Evan Peters really, only to be in 2 episodes, minus his brief cameo in the tree? If you think that he will be on in one of the 3 final episodes, tell me how, or under what scenario.
Melanie: Yes! All people who die on the property come back under the blood moon, right? So…we will see all of the dead back. I think that the people who died from the documentary will come to help the living. Besides Matt, who is going to kill Shelby. (Kent: I really like everything that you just said there and am jelly that I didn’t think about that first.)
Cece: Maybe his character, since he died there, will return as a ghost? Not sure honestly. I think this may be the end of him.
Stef: I don’t like to try to predict these things… would rather be surprised.
Kelly: Let me restate this from last week…
*in a Drew Carey voice* “Welcome back to Coven, where we throw away a flourishing actor’s potential!”
Kent: Whatever I say, it’s going to be wrong somehow. SO I’m just going to say no more Evan in hopes of him coming back.
- What has been your favorite death in this half of a season: Diana, Rory, Alissa, Sidney, Matt, or Agnes?
Melanie: Agnes
Cece: Matt’s was sick!
Stef: I did love watching Agnes bow in front of the Butcher to get her face axed, but Matt’s death was completely shocking!
Kelly: Matt… Strictly because of the irony of TWD just a few nights prior!
Kent: I liked Agnes’ best, because it felt sincere. She finally got to meet her hero, so that’s the way to go. Matt’s, well 3 nights prior, I saw how that death happens, and how it was done better. Had there been man ass or had we seen more of the Witch, I could have been inclined to change my answer. I’m really sad that nobody chose Rory’s hilarious death. I can’t tell if AHS is just ripping off Walking Dead or paying homage at this point. First, they mentioned them by name in last week’s opening. Secondly, their star is actually British. Finally, they head bashed in death knowing full well which week TWD was doing theirs. I’m still hoping homage, but they should probably stop. If somebody starts using a crossbow though, and then I’m calling out AHS.
Bonus Deuce
- This is Cuba Gooding Jr.’s best role since _____ (name the role and or film, unless this is his best in your opinion)?
Melanie: Especially loved him in Jerry Maguire.
Cece: I haven’t watched in much, honestly. Last thing I remember seeing him in is ‘Snow Dogs’ honestly. Lmfao.
Stef: I’m not a huge movie buff… I’m no good at answering this.
Kelly: Snow Dogs! He’s been in so many other noteworthy films since then, but that’s always the first one I associate with his name.
Kent: Boyz n the Hood. That movie brought a new light on a culture that wasn’t terribly prominent in big films at the time. That movie is still one of my favorites, as is Menace II Society.
- With only 3 episodes remaining, will we get more on Priscilla or Pig Head’s back story, or do you think that they have moved on at this point?
Melanie: Neither. Sorry Kent…you will never know more about Priscilla.
Cece: I believe we will see more of Priscilla’s. Not sure about Piggy.
Stef: I’m really kind of thinking/hoping that Pricilla will step in to help someone, somehow. So MAYBE they’ll give us a little more story on her.
Kelly: Pig Head we’ll at least see again due to next week’s preview, but not sure about any origin stories being told this time around. I have an inkling Murphy’s “secret season” that’s in the works might be a bonus to this one since we’ve gotten crap for 7 episodes straight and this season is mysteriously only 10 episodes long.
Kent: On one hand, there’s only 3 episodes to go and we still have some major players to introduce into the fold. On the other hand, they just massacred half of the damn cast, so they did open up some time in theory for some backstory. I feel that we will get one and not the other, and as much as Pig Head has been my boy all season long, I need to know more about Priscilla.
