Scribbles about TV: American Horror Story Freakshow Finale... I spoil EVERYTHING... but you probably could have predicted it!

I'm not quite sure how exactly I feel about everything. I feel like it was either the saddest finale or the happiest finale... or if I'm just pissed that the end of Murder House, Coven and Freakshow are basically the exact same... either way I'm bummed they waited until now to bring back Twisty and Edward Mouldrake... Okay I'll get to that... Right now, lets start with the beginning-ish.

So it starts off with Dandy running the show and everyone is pissed... rightfully so. He's horrible. It makes sense... then for quite some time he just shoots up all the freaks at the show. The only ones that survive are Angela Basset, Jimmy, and Bette and Dot. Bette gets married to Dandy and then the group bands together to kill him.

Then pretty much they just show Hollywood and how Elsa got famous and how she's on top right now and she's the best... and its really really boring and long. Literally like nothing important happens until she says she won't perform on Halloween for obvious reasons. She's married to her manager David Burtka, she has a variety hour. Then they find out how she lost her legs... which P.S They show a clip of again which was useful because they literally NEVER brought it up again after her talks with Edward Mouldrake... and then thats going to destroy her and blah blah blah. Ohhh yeah, and then after they mention that they're going to find out that she was a prostitute a long time ago she says "Yo I'll perform on Halloween. I'm gonna go out with a bang!

I felt like this was a very lazy and expected twist. Everywhere said that at the finale Edward Mouldrake was going to kill someone. It was incredibly predictable. They could have done something more of a twist with Edward. He was my favorite character on AHS and they definitely underused him and it was just BORING when he came back. I would have loved to see more of him and more of Twisty the clown. And when he kills Elsa he's just kind of like "Yo, I knew your life sucked years ago. I remember that. And this is just a suicide so you must be extra sad. I'm gonna kill you." And then Twisty is like "It's gonna hurt" and then Eddy kills Elsa and Elsa dies.

Ohhh but back to another reason why this is lazy writing... Elsa doesn't fight it at all. She's just like "yeah this is bad. this is going to destroy me. I'm just gonna have Eddy take me." And it was just very boring predictable behavior.

Also when she performs on Halloween the other loose ends are tied up with the 4 living freaks. Angela Bassett marries Theo Huxtable, who again they barely mention again since he was on... so thats a thing. And Jimmy is married to Dot (and Bette?) and They are pregnant. And they see Elsa and they're like "David Bowie Againn???? Come on Elsa!" Even though this was before David Bowie was a singer... lol. Ohhhh and Theo Huxtable and Angela Bassett have babies which is a big deal because she thought she couldn't have babies because she thought she was trans... and she isn't. So that is a thing.

Anyways back to Elsa, she dies on stage in that little death clip they showed during the commercials after the first episode. And then she goes somewhere else. Eddy says she doesn't fit in with them. so she goes to her own freakshow where she's reunited with Penny and Paul are married Ma Patite greets her, Ethel greets her and says stars don't have to pay for their sins, you better get up on that stage.

And then she goes to perform and thats it...

So yeah. This wasn't awesome. It wasn't bad. I liked it better than the freakshow finale, but there were so many things they could have sped up and had a little more plot. They could have sped up the massacre of the freakshow, they could have sped up the whole Dandy part... they could have cut out like all the Hollywood stuff because it was so long and had nothing to do with anything. I didn't like Mossimo. The only thing he did was remind me of Axeman... which I didn't really need Elsa's legs were sawed off... that is quite similar.

And here is why I think the finales are a little similar.

Murder House- The family all dies, but they live happily ever after in the Murder House along with everyone else that died at that house. They die and that is where they go.

Coven: Everyone lives out their own version of Hell. It is the worst moment of their life on repeat. Misty gets stuck being bullied for bringing frogs back to life and dissecting it. Fiona has to live with the Axe Man for the rest of their life... that is where they go when they die.

This season they end up at the freak show when they die everything is happy. Thats where they stay. Its just getting a little bit repetitive.

So yeah... thats kind of what I think. My prediction next year? American Horror Story:Gleekshow. They combine the show with Glee and see what happens.

So yeah as much as I loved this season toward the beginning... there wasn't really any pay off.
Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
