World Series Time, Fox always does this at this time of year. Normally I'd be bitching too but I have a team in it again this years so no complaining from me.

Well, while I can't verify as I have TW cable, my sister claims that on her DirectTV they have the entire first season up on their Fox On Demand. She's kind of a bonehead though, so she could be wrong.

DEATH WISH AT 120 DECIBELS
7 Minutes in Hell was the best episode since Chainsaws, and the Haunted House one is still the worst episode of the entire series and isn't even bad in a good way. I hope the next episode after break is more like Chainsaws that Haunted House.

No dinosaurs though!

I actually thought this was the weakest episode they've had. No Denise and VERY little Chad. Instead we get an admittedly hilarious seance and the Adventures of Pete and Grace, which is always a snooze fest. Tavi as Feather was nice; I didn't know she could act.

It was a weird episode where the pieces were way better than the whole considering nothing really happened storywise that wasn't pretty obvious - but the Chad goat scene, the Ouija board stuff, the Chanel 2 dream sequence and the sugar party bit were so great.

Nasim Pedrad 4 ever. Glad her post-SNL career isn't completely dead.

I don't know why I like Chad so much, because I normally hate dumb bro humor. I think this show will be a cult classic once it's done/canceled after one season. The density of jokes and overall quality of every character/actor except Little Miss Sunshine will help the show stand the test of time for people who can dig this kind of humor.

Chad's just a really funny actor, and that comes across really well. It takes a lot of skill to play stupid in not an annoying way, and he somehow invests a lot of dimensions to it. For one thing, he actually seems pretty smart. He just doesn't give a poo poo.

Dug this episode, this is Jamie Lee's best ep. She was great in it. Just hope they don't spread out the plot line too much, considering there are still so many eps to go.

Hey, it's worth mentioning that Ian Brennan co-wrote a zombie apocalypse movie with Leigh Wannell called Cooties, and it stars Elijah Wood, Allison Pill, Rainn Wilson, Jack McBrayer, and Nasim Pedrad as a group of teachers forced to fend off their zombified students. If you're digging Scream Queens for the irreverent humor you should totally rent it; it gets in and out before it can start to grate on you, it's righteously violent, and it's funny as gently caress.

Interestingly enough, when fast forwarding through commercials, you (or at least I) pay more attention to them as to not skip past when the show comes back.

Advertisers should figure out how to market that. Like have focus groups see what they remember after a 2 second FF. I'm thinking heavy brand placement.

I'm the same way, especially because I'm always looking for the commercial for shows on the same network, since that's what always runs right before the break ends. I'll also stop it if there's a commercial for a movie that looks good, even in fast forward.

It's simple, just design commercials so that there's a hidden commercial only found when you fast forward

There was a start-up company a couple years ago that offered to make commercials for your company that would feature a logo and mascot that stayed stationary the entire duration of the commercial, so that it was still visible in fast forward. I'm not sure how that was their entire business model, since that sort of thing would be pretty easy to do yourself.

It stood out to me, too, so I'm betting it is.

Decent episode, I guess, even if not much happened. I was glad to see the return of Denise Hempfield and the Jonas Brother, but two episodes in a row of not much is getting a little stale.

Going to ruin it for everyone. It's Candle Vlogger. She faked her death similar to how Boone did.

There's only been 2 characters that had elaborately staged murders/"deaths" (well 3 if you count the Dean's husband, but we know who killed him). That's Boone & Candle Vlogger. Every other killing the bodies have just been cut down and left there, or disappeared. Eventually a bunch of them end up staged in the haunted house, but for initial kills they're just stabbed in the throat, or beheaded or whatever and just dumped.

There's a bunch of other clues that point to it being Candle Vlogger as well. Thus my theory since episode 4 that it's Candle Vlogger.

98% of last night's episode made me almost certain it was Lea Michele. She was not happy when Little Miss Sunshine wanted to leave.

I don't think it is Candle Vlogger because Boone was talking to his sister on the phone about Zayday and if they had talked recently. That probably wouldn't come up if the sister was supposed to be dead.

Hopefully Ryan Murphy's involvement in season 2 (if it does get picked up) is reduced, this season's AHS is full on Murphy and it's half incomprehensible and half fun spectacles. It makes a confusing watch (other than maybe the large number of GagaButt shots)
