He also was in Miracle Workers with Quinta. I noticed he was credited as the director of last week's ep, nice to see him on screen. I wish they'd give Josh Segarra more to do, he was great on The Other Two. Loved the cold open.

I think everyone suspects the true nature of their relationship. Jean called Schine Cohn's "pervert friend" & several characters have made insinuations about Cohn's sexuality. I imagine McCarthy doesn't want to open that can of worms because it would reflect poorly on the committee, plus he himself may have something to hide. For his part, Cohn seems to think his position makes him "bulletproof" or that he could manoeuvre his way out of any situation. That secretary in Hawk's office was so smug! And shortsighted...I would have been a lot more circumspect about messing with someone with Hawk's background/ connections.

Was it though? They had such a big lead that it was unlikely that being U-turned would kick them out of the race. And it's still early enough in that staying in the race matters more than placement. I think Todd & Ashley had the right idea to U-turn one of the lower placed teams. One of those teams probably would have been last to the mat if they had to do two detours. That said, Analeigh did not come off well this ep. She seems to get frustrated easily and directs it at everybody else. It's a race and choosing a team to U-turn was compulsory, doesn't really matter who chose you. Anyways, not reading the clue properly was a bigger hindrance than the detours. Also, I don't enjoy watching Morgan & Lena because of their constant bickering, but seems like it works for them!

Verna said that Roderick's descendants would outlive him if he rejected her offer. Otherwise, their lives would be prematurely shortened but they would never want for anything. Roderick really was a bastard, readily condemning Frederick & Tamerlaine, then going on to have even more kids. I wonder if Bill got some of the family money since he & Tamerlaine were still legally married?

The reactions were my favourite part of the episode! Of course Judy & BJ have a nude portrait of themselves above their mantle. Uncle Baby Billy's skeeviness continues to entertain. I like that he & Tiffany are still solid.

That was what everyone was initially told. It's revealed later in the episode that Kenneth killed Iain & his parents before shooting himself as a coverup. I'm guessing Iain had started confessing to his parents so Kenneth was trying to tie up loose ends. Of course he ended up being indirectly responsible for his own death, despite what Janet believed. I didn't quite see Pia as being the "Ugly American" - she was no less polite to Janet than Janet was to her. And she brushed off Stuart's off-colour remark about diversity when he met her. She was pushy about switching the topic of the doc and seemed inconsiderate about Davis' feelings, which made sense for her character - a filmmaker obsessed with a particular story. It also worked as commentary on the benefits/drawbacks of the true crime genre.

Agreed. I think the zaniness works for this show partly because the Dubeks have always been OTT. I loved the sight gags at the theatre. Cary's bf is incredibly frustrating...I was really rooting for them to break up. But Cary's too insecure about his career to pass up a chance to be seen with a Tony nominated actor. I was happy Lance stood up for himself, he deserves better. Brooke needs some time alone to work through her issues but I do think there's still hope for their relationship.

I'm guessing Hank will force Barry to kill Fuches in exchange for his family's safety. This episode was definitely more balanced in tone. I enjoyed it more than the last two.

Why did they make a big deal about fit in the beginning then give the designers only 4 hrs? Not a fan of Megan's look but I thought Deontre deserved to go home. The fit on his was atrocious & the patchwork design seemed more Nigel's aesthetic than his. Also, am I the only one surprised that Amari is still there? Her looks are poorly made & not very memorable...I still don't have a handle on her aesthetic.

You're correct...it was Tom in the pic, not Claudia. He was trying to point out that Lestat & Louis don't age with his question, but she snarkily responded that Tom didn't have the scar on his face then (the one given to him by Lestat).

I just binged this over the last few days. I hadn't known anything about it beforehand but found it pretty engaging. Looking forward to another season. Jessica is one of the least likable characters I've ever seen though...I won't miss her when she eventually gets killed.

Same. Claudia had valid reasons for wanting to kill Lestat, but he's so deviously entertaining that I didn't want her to succeed. Louis' declaration of love to Armand was interesting to me. Lestat tells Louis that he loves him on numerous occasions but I don't remember Louis saying it at any point throughout the season. He consistently frames their relationship as being due to their vampire bond rather than love. So the way he proudly claimed Armand at the end was a bit surprising. Especially the way he said it, I'm not totally convinced that it's genuine. (It's been a while since I've read the books or seen the movie so I'm foggy on the details of their relationship.) Overall, I've really enjoyed this adaptation so far. I can't wait for season 2.

I'm enjoying the series so far...changing Louis' background and the time period has made the story more layered. So has ageing Claudia up. Her childhood trauma, eternal puberty and having Louis and Lestat as parents make for a voilatile mix. Me too. The show's pretty dark but doesn't take itself too seriously. The humour was unexpected but welcome. Louis needs to cut ties with his family. Also, I feel like Grace should have known about Claudia before the wake. Even though they don't talk much, Louis lives less than a mile away from her. Two prominent local businessmen taking in an orphan girl seems like something that would be gossiped about.

I also think that Stanton is Athena. She's following in her mother's footsteps somewhat, but not in the way Regina wanted her to - she's using science instead of faith. I didn't really see the show as angling for a second season though...the teens have come to terms with their fates and nothing supernatural actually seems to be going on at Brightcliff. The final scene cleared up the only remaining questions for me.

She is the worst! I have to rewatch the first season. I didn't realise the show was coming back and I've forgotten so much.
