Variety posted:

Elsewhere, Fox’s 9 p.m. drama “Scream Queens” (0.8 in 18-49, 1.7 million viewers) had a tough second week with double-digit declines from the previous week. The show in its first season proved to be a stronger performer in non-linear platforms than in live airings, given its younger audience.

I wish Terriers had those bad ratings. We'd be on season 7 by now.

This is definitely how I felt after the best character was killed off this episode.

Also I loved the line: "You can do that? How do you remove negative space?"

God I hope you're right, that sounds plausible as hell

I also realized during this episode that I love Chanel No. 3. Her robotic delivery is only made funnier by the times when she gets really into something for a brief moment.

I really hope Chad isn't dead. They wouldn't do that to us :(

If he is dead then I guess I am ok with the show being canceled after the season is over.

Yeah the thought of him actually being dead didn't even cross my mind. I just laughed out loud. Overly elaborate, blood everywhere, we didn't see him get killed on screen? Definitely getting out of his wedding.

Hester sort of implied that there was already another victim, so I'm assuming Chad's flat out dead.

That was actually really weird. She told them there'd already been another death, and then they just cut straight to the wedding. It felt like there was a scene missing or something.

I'm on the fence and kind of feel like Chad is alive and faked his death like Boone did in S1. Could that mean he is working with Neckbrace?

I don't know if this is a spoiler or not but just in case he's only listed on imdb as being in 16 episodes total, which would be 13 last season and 3 this season

Or nobody is dead, who knows.

I got my mom and sister hooked on this show in season 1, and after the 3rd episode their (northern Indiana) Fox affiliate stopped airing it and instead shows old episodes of Xena in its time slot. Any idea why they would do that? I haven't seen anything about complaints about the show or anything.

One of our local affiliates, WRAL (NBC), has done that for moral reasons. I think they refused to air a dating related reality show a few years back and they occasionally refuse to air specific episodes. Totally unrelated but our local CBS affiliate preempts, delays, time shifts, day shifts, you name it; Elementary all the time without any notice. My dvr is set to record an extra 60 minutes after and I still end up watching it on Plex about half the time. I don't know what their beef is but they seem to really hate that show.


Also agree this season is a downgrade from S1.

Yeah Season 1 was over the top but had SOME reality grounding it. I guess Ryan Murphy decided to take all of the wacky hijinks out of AHS and transfer it here.

Though the Brokeback Mountain role playing made me laugh.

The deaths aren't nearly as over-the-top and dramatic. Between Ariana Grande's death, the death recreating the Shining, and the massacre of the frat brothers to a Backstreet Boys song, season one had amazing moments. They also did a handful of callbacks to horror films each episode that were just epic in how detailed they could be.

This season, we have more deaths, but they're just not as funny. The humor isn't as dark and outright insulting in the best of ways anymore.

This is the only show I watch on Fox - I just found out about it a month ago and binged on the first season. - hopefully this it isn't the last. - If it is the only 2 characters I want see make it through are #5 and Zayday and I hope Grace at least makes a cameo in this season

She hasn't put anything about Scream Queens in her social media. I'm thinking either they parted on bad terms or she's going to be a surprise guest. Some people think she's the Green Meanie, actually.

Hay hay hay!
Grace, her dad and her creepy BF were the worst parts of Season 1.

I am also super sad Special Agent Denise Hempstall FBI is now gone. She was one of the best parts of the show.

So.. who's the killer?

nunsexmonkrock
Apr 13, 2008
I hope special agent Denise Hempfield isn't dead - since it happened at the end of the episode we won't know until next week - as she said her heart is good. So I personally think her and #5 are still alive (Johhny 5 is ALIVE!).

I didn't watch the first season of this show until it was almost over and watched it all within a few days on Hulu. Are all these breaks normal or is it a sign it's on its last legs due to ratings?

I don't see any way this gets renewed for a third season unfortunately. I think a 3 week mid-season break is probably going to kill off whatever audience it had left.

It's killing me off and I like the show. Admitted the 2nd season is much weaker and losing Chad is a major blow.

Denise got bit tiresome even in season one. Losing Chad is a disappointment, but honestly I wish they'd not brought back any of the same characters. What I thought was going to happen was the same actors were going to play new characters, which sounded like a great idea. The show's still good, but I feel like they don't really have anything new to do with a lot of them because they're fairly shallow characters and we've already seen what they're about.
