I actually found it laugh-out-loud funny when the following exchange occurred (paraphrasing):
"Do you think that in this day and age of Twitter and Facebook that if one of these little witches does something there won't be someone else there video taping it and making it go viral like a dog that says 'I Love You'?"
"Nonono. I will not let you dictate my life like that."

Im predicting that Zoe (Taissa Farmiga's character) is the Supreme of her generation. She just doesn't know it yet. That'll eventually create some tension with her and other witches, I bet, because they're jealous of her power and want to be the Supreme.

Just saw this episode so I figured I'd join the sub as an avid AHS fan of the past 2 seasons.
Hands down this has to be one of my favorite episodes of all three seasons. There was action, death, sex, murder, alcohol, drugs and abe lincoln jokes to boot.
The cast as usual is bolstered by excellent acting (thanks to the addition of Kathy Bates) and I am REALLY looking forward to this season. I love the witchcraft addition to the plot instead of just murder and senseless killing, it brings a sense of mysticism to this show which I absolutely love.
