Scream Queens (No Spoilers) — Page 8

If your recent credit is yogurt that makes people **** better, then sure, this is a great gig.

Ha!

Last night's episode was brutal.

Especially now that AHS is back. That's the crown jewel of hate watching.

WhizzerMarvin said: "No, the edge for hate-watching has to go to Scream Queens because of Emma Roberts and Chanel-o-ween. I mean she referred to the Civil War as the war of northern aggression this past week! What is her character supposed to be??? AHS at least has some style. Watching Murphy think he's using Chanel as some brilliant satirical mouthpiece is the most hateful thing currently on television

"Yea, and that line was treated as a throwaway line no less. I completely agree--Murphy and Falchuk (and I suppose their directors,) at least make AHS even at its worst look terrific.

I can only assume at this point that Chanel is genuinely meant to be loveable in her awfulness--a bit like Santana was in at least the early seasons of Glee. She's not.

Don't worry--there are only 15 episodes, not 22

I don't know why the main focus seems to be on somehow making her appealing, when they could be working to make someone else remotely appealing (Zayna or whatever her name is comes off as appealing but is barely seen, and the main girl who I guess is meant to be the "final girl" is completely wasted.) I'm gonna call it now--the final twist will be that nearly all of them, if not all of them are the Devil at various points. To have good camp you have to have some sense that the creators still care about the story, at least in IMHO, and there's none of that here.

Also, last week we had that BIZARRO scene where the sorority girls decided they would woman up--so to speak, and take control of their lives and enjoy food and even had that random choreographed fight student with the two douchebags (yaye for entitled mean white girls embracing feminism!!) but that was all forgotten by this episode--even down to them not eating again. I found that odd, but then I remembered that this was a Murphy/Falchuk show...

So they take the surviving members to a new location? So we still don't know who the Red Devil is? Then what's the freaking point? It's like The Killing all over again. Except.... far far far worse.

Ever since the last few Glee seasons, I thought television couldn't get any worse, but Ryan Murphy and his squad have outdone themselves once again. What an awful show, it's probably the most horrible fictional television series I have ever seen. I considered scratching my eyes out after the first two hours. Yikes!

So AV Club gave last night's episode a B+, which is simply baffling. I agree with you, Phyllis, that it was insanely boring. It is an awful show though! Like just so so so bad. It makes zero sense. The most shocking thing about it is how it all sounds and feels and looks like GLEE fan fiction. I find the dialogue cringing. As with GLEE, the pros (like Jamie Lee Curtis, Nassim Pedrad and Niecy Nash) manage to rise above it most of the time and yet the show insists on spending time with the most rotten, ridiculous, despicable characters.

Poor Abigail Breslin, she's an Oscar nominee and has the worst role. The main Channel must be one of the most disgusting lead characters I've seen on TV. The deaths are irrelevant, especially since there are no stakes involved. Keke Palmer (the one young girl who comes off unscathed) is almost murdered and then she is ready to dance? The boring final girl wants to stay to protect her rotten sisters whom she just met? On the bright side, this makes AHS: HOTEL look as Pulitzer-worthy as Julia's book for BOMBSHELL.

Eric, I definitely 420-ed while watching and can tell you there's not enough smoke in the world to make that episode look like a B+. It was one of the worst things I've seen this year, and I watched all of STATE OF AFFAIRS and the premiere of EXTANT. It's bad when you find yourself saying things like, "at least GLEE had showtunes" while watching Sam (how bad is the actress who plays her?) about to die an obvious death in the basement.

But Ryan treats them SO WELL!!!!!

The actress playing Sam said it was her first audition and she was cast due to her look. That's another thing though--why is so much of the supporting cast for this show (one of the most heavily promoted shows of the year,) SOOOOO awful. It actually makes me more impressed with some of the worst cast members of Glee. I mean I know they cast those two twins because they're some sort of Youtube viral sensation for both coming out to their dad on YouTube (sigh...) but seriously--they couldn't find capable actors? (And as awful as the whole "predatory Lesbian" thing was, Murphy and crew never even WENT with it--she gave one predatory look, if I can recall when introduced and otherwise just sorta shuffled around in the background.)

Re Jamie Lee--they film around her schedule (I believe she goes to New Orleans three days a week, since she wanted to stay close to her family,) so I assume that means we'll get a number of episodes where she's barely featured.

Thanks, Pinto.

Anyways, I stopped watching after the first 2 episodes. This isn't even something I want to hate-watch.

Thanks, Pinto.
