Episode 4 "Edward Mordrake (Part 2) The special effects makeup for under Twisty the Clown's mask is one of the most gruesome the show has done. Dandy putting on Twisty mask is the first thing he's done that wasn't annoying. The scene with the town people at the end was pretty good. What little there was of Patti LaBelle was good, sad that her character was killed off but we all saw it coming.

I've really enjoyed this season so far, despite a few nitpicks. I think many of the characters are strong, although they're showing development perhaps a LITTLE too quickly at times e.g. Dot's wild ego.

I particularly enjoyed this last two parter - even the last Lana song, I thought that scene offered a very spooky introduction for Wes Bentley (although his British accent is rather dreadful). I don't know, I really don't mind anachronistic music when it's used well, and I think this world is JUST far enough off center for it to be fine with me.

[MILD TWISTY SPOILERS]
As for Twisty, what a backstory! I've rewatched that scene a few times, their ability to turn fear and wonder into pity is excellent, really impressive. Although I worry that with him gone and Dandy taking the reigns, they've one of the show's best assets - in the past, the antagonists have always been somewhat likeable/morally ambiguous. Jude was a bitch but became a victim and always had her good side (standing up to Arden etc.), Fiona was vein but her glamour made her so fun, Twisty was terrifying but in an exciting way. Dandy's just a bit of a creepy brat. But I'll wait until further episodes to make full judgement.

Episode 5 is one of my favourites so far. I just love Dandy and he's definitely becoming the twisted character I hoped he would :D I kinda miss Zachary Quinto though..

Really enjoyed Pink Cupcakes and how it delved into the wants and desires of each character. Was it a bit heavy handed? Yes. BUT nothing worse than not knowing your characters' motivations.

Episode 7 "Test of Strength"

SPOILERS

While the Nirvana cover was decent the use of '90s music in a '50s period piece is annoying. Satisfying seeing Dell get his ass handed to him. Penny's dad is messed up.
