It was a welcome treat to see Frances chew the scenery so deliciously like she can.
But Ryan Murphy can rot for making me see Eureka on my screen literally one week after I got rid of her on All Stars.

I'm loving this season so much. Macaulay should be a regular from here on out.
Someone suggested this earlier in the thread but I think it's a great shout that the last 4 episodes are to do with the screenplay(s) that Finn's been writing.
I think the whole thing that ties both seasons are the pills, you can hear them saying they need something part aliens and part humans, so... I hope it's not the screenplay written by Finn or something meta like that, I'd hate that, honestly
Fuck. That episode was genuinely the most disturbing and scary this show has been in years for me. Fantastic episode, best of the season.
The way this story has panned out has been perfect. I'm sure the shorter number of episodes helped, the acting has been phenomenal (Lily and Sarah both killed it this episode), the scoring has been excellent (really cool that it's tied into the plot with Alma playing violin), and I'm glad they toned down the camp (at least back to Season 1 levels).
I was iffy about Leslie being in this season since she always plays the more comedic roles, but I think she's done a good job at playing such an unlikable character.

Doris was the main character I was rooting for, she deserved so much better. I was hoping she'd get some kind of revenge ark like Ally did in Cult. Karen too...it's a bummer that they're both gone. Hopefully Harry/Ursula/Alma get the karma they deserve.

I've finally binged the first five episodes in the last couple of day and wow, Red Tide is really a return to form. It does feel like I've seen parts of it in previous seasons separately, but nevermind, at least we have a focused, less campy season at last. Lily, Frances and Sarah are amazing.
There's just one thing I don't understand...

How come the pill is said to have a temporary effect on talented people but has an irreversible effect on untalented ones?
Ursula remains incredibly annoying and cartoonish, but otherwise this was another solid episode. I appreciate how much they're leaning into the horror rather than camp and I hope that remains the MO going forward. I do sort of wish that they'd tied the storyline with Sarah and Macaulay more into the main story, but I feel like a lot of this season was mapped out around when they could get certain actors to film. None of the main cast has appeared in every episode, which gives certain stories a stop-and-start feeling, but overall this is easily the strongest season since Roanoke.
Damn that last episode was amazing, I've never felt such tension watching this show in years. Also,
Doris is a queen.
Alma neeeds to die badly. Harry even more.

Alma and Ursula die challenge. Do that challenge.

Yup. Easily the best season since Roanoke, so far. Don’t fuck it up, Ryan!
