Great piece! Except I disagree that 12 Monkeys is a "failure."

I had forgotten that Lou, like Hanzee, is a Vietnam vet. I wonder if the finale dialogue will address this.

The following link has an interesting comment on Hanzee, but it is a complete spoiler for the season finale. Also, there is a stupid GD autoplay video at the top, which usually makes me just close the tab. Near as I can tell, the video doesn't have anything to do with the text.

Yeah, I started to go down the path of indignation when I heard they gave Gaga the award instead of Kiki, then I reminded myself that the GG's awards are pretty much drunk in every way. I gave up on this season of AHS after the first episode, so I can't speak for the entire season, but Gaga was essentially a very beautifully adorned, bloody piece of wood in the first episode.

The "parking lot king of Minnesota."  Love it!  Ask any Los Angeles Dodger fan about the horrors of having a parking lot king owning their team!

Seems a guarantee we will see some familiar faces.  Again, love it!

I always hold out hope we might could see Lorne Malvo again, but it is evident that will not be this season.  Oh well.

My first thought is it would be great to see that teenager, who helped out babysitting Molly, as a grown woman.

Thrilled for Kirsten, Jean, Jesse, and Bokeem!  Bummed that Patrick Wilson and Ted Danson didn't get in, but their categories were tough, and I did think Patrick would have it rough since his character wasn't as flashy as the rest.  I hope it picks up a trophy or two, but I'm prepared for the worst.  I think this was one of the best series of the Emmy season, but I think will be tough to beat The People vs. OJ Simpson, which was really good too, and has a lot more hype, momentum, and big moments.  Hell, as much as love Kirsten Dunst and want her to a take, a small part of me still wouldn't mind if it was Sarah Paulson.

No real surprise, but the show got shutout at the Emmys this go around.  The People vs. OJ Simpson pretty much dominated, and the few outliers was the show losing to The Night Manager for best directing and Jean Smart losing to Regina King for best supporting actress.  Oh, well.  This season will still go down as one of my favorite seasons of all time.

Thinking about this some more:  IMO, The People v. OJ had some serious flaws, starting with the serious miscasting of Cuba Gooding, Jr. as OJ.  The first couple of episodes, with their Kardashian pandering, had me worried that the schlock factor was going to take over.  The series recovered well and had some excellent scripts afterwards, but for me, S2 of Fargo was perfection from start to finish. It's a real shame that Patrick Wilson and Ted Danson did not receive nominations, and I'm sorry Fargo was so completely overshadowed by the OJ juggernaut.

I checked out of TPVOJS after three episodes, the race relations stuff seemed too heightened the Kardashians were mentioned every dang episode! Yes, I thought the schlock factor was indeed taking over. Fargo was better storytelling, even better than season one (which meandered a bit toward the end). I never wanted an episode of Fargo to end. And Patrick and Ted were robbed.

As I noted above, it got better, and you might want to watch the rest of it at some point.  Courtney Vance enters as Johnny Cochrane in Ep. 4, and the next two episodes, The Race Card and Marcia, Marcia, Marcia are outstanding.  But overall, I think the quality was not as consistent as Fargo's.
