Well, it wasn't a suspicion but more of a burning curiosity:
It's the whole blinding-the-daughter incident. To me, it seems pretty unnecessary (she already has the manipulation of the other witches to prove her power and status, doing this just doesn't seem logical at all) and frankly, framing the lead councilwoman is a flat-out mystery since there's the implanted evidence through the one witch that she surely would've felt the time it happened (whenever she's done something to herself to impose pain on people, they've reacted and felt it like it was being done to them since that's what's really going on with human-voodoo-doll powers) so that wound just suddenly appearing without any pain and accepting of it without any sort of blatant accusation of framing doesn't make sense. Neither does the purpose of blinding her in the first place. Again, what does that have to do with the overall keeping her status that it would've lead to if she's trying to finish her off? I guess it's really three different questions:
1. What was the purpose of blinding the daughter in the first place?
2. Why was the lead councilwoman so openly and willingly going along with blatant frame-work?
3. Why did the remaining council-members remain unaware of the powers being displayed in the house during the questioning?
As for Mom, it's really worthwhile only if you enjoy the two leads, Anna Faris and Allison Janey. I happen to love BBT, it's the best show on TV for me right now so if you didn't like that I'm not sure if you're going to enjoy it on a simpler basis.

American Horror Story: Coven Back in the Game Modern Family Ah, I see. Yeah, I was wondering something similar. As of the latest episode we still don't know what Myrtle’s (that´s the lead councilwoman) deal is so my take on it so far is: 1. At first I thought that was the work of one of Laveau's (the voodoo priestess) cronies, but it's become clear that she had nothing to do with that. I don't think Mytrle did it, either (the part where Fiona follows her to the elevator seems to be either a lie or a hallucination, given that Fiona was doped up in the hospital). I wonder if this was the work of somebody who had nothing whatsoever to do with the coven, just had a grudge against Cordelia for some reason. Another possibility is that she was blinded to activate her "second sight" powers, but I don't know by whom. 2. Myrtle's motivations have been all over the place; she's been trying to get back at Fiona all her life, yet whenever she faces the smallest stepback she crumbles. I wonder if it's that Fiona's had her bewitched the whole time, just out of spite. She did cry out when they did the acid-burning magic, but it did come off as weird. 3. The guy on the council owes Fiona a few favors, so he's been playing along. The other woman I can't figure out, though. The one thing I do get so far is that Fiona doesn't just want status, it seems she's trying to get all of the coven not just to back her up but to think that he/she is secretly her only ally [hence her telling Queenie that she could be the next Supreme, for instance]. One thing I didn't quite get, through: if Fiona is powerful enough to resurrect a stillborn baby (even when she's drunk), why can't she heal Cordelia's face? Or is that the strongest implication that the face-burning was actually part of her plans? Basically, yeah, there's a lot here that doesn't quite make sense, unless the writers are preparing some short of twist --like maybe there's actually somebody worse than Laveau or Fiona pulling all the strings. As for Mom; I do occasionally like Faris (not so much in the Scary Movie series, but I did like her work in May). I guess I'll give it a try out of curiosity. Thanks for the reply. |

Well, for one, I knew ruling out Leveau was the responsible party since she was busy raising the zombies (remember, Fiona was in the hospital dealing with Cordelia's injuries at the time of the zombie attack, which was why they were never in danger that way), and her husband's alibi is sketchy (if he's screwing the redhead that automatically rules him out as well, though the timeline on that is still sketchy for me) so that just leaves Fiona as the only possible culprit with motivation and no alibi for the attack. What's strange, though, is that no motivation has been brought up either in storyline terms or realistic ones, as I said there's no need for the writers to throw this angle in there to make us know of her cruel means of keeping her status (Madison's death and resulting cover-up is pretty much all that's required there) and in storyline terms, her daughter's no threat to her status such as it is since the show says it's only for witches in their formative years, or early 20s such as when Fiona first took on the title in the first place, so a fully-grown daughter doesn't really pose much of a threat. To me, that makes the whole attack so strange.
I don't remember her doing anything to cause the others to notice the acid-burning attack, as the flashback shows that was going on during Fiona's attack to throw the spotlight off of herself during the meeting. I forget the precise moment, but Queenie was looking off during the whole thing and burned herself, implying it was happening to Myrtle during Fiona's accusations, and there was no indication she was noticing that happening for the original scene merely showed her looking flabbergasted that the story was being spun around on her to begin with. There was no reaction to the burning acid that was done at the time of questioning so I still think this is questionable too.
I kinda assumed that Fiona would have friends in high places considering her status, so that friend doesn't surprise me. Just wanted a straightforward answer I guess.

- Grimm. Season 3 premiere; okay, so this just got cheesy, and yet it's all quite entertaining. I do kind of wonder if they even have an overall plan for the season, through.
- American horror story: coven.
- Once upon a time. I stand by my declaration that this has gotten a little too cute --but on the other hand, the main villain of the season is pretty impressive. The actor playing him falters a bit, but it's still a solidly written and very dark character.

American horror story: Coven.
Supernatural.
Once upon a time.
Once upon a time in Wonderland. Started checking out this spin-off; it's not bad at all, through it's kind of evident why it's doomed (it's been confirmed that it'll be cancelled soon) --it wants to be the American answer to a BBC show while still retaining the darkness of the parent show and the result basically feels like a low-budget retread of the Tim Burton movie. [And if "Sleepy hollow" is any indication, the lesson here is that Burton films don't make a good template for a television series].

Grimm. The second episode of the third season was kinda better than the premiere, but I don't really see why that particular story needed to be stretched across four episodes (counting the past season ending), when it would have been a fine two-hour finale by itself and left us with a new status quo.
