ATTENTION: The following includes spoilers so if you haven't been watching and plan to, DO NOT READ.
Tonight is the season finale of American Horror Story's third season, Coven. If you haven't been watching, here are five reasons why you need to build a time machine right this second or, the easier option, watch it online somewhere.
1. The show is amazing. It is full of gruesome, gory action that keeps you at the edge of your seat. All of the witches have displayed both a sensitive and evil side. There are episodes where you feel for them but then get shocked by their actions.
2. Angela Bassett. She plays the creole voodoo priestess wonderfully. She certainly deserves an award or at least a nom.
3. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk has been dangling the question of who the next supreme is in our faces all season long. Tonight we finally find out...right? I think it will be a crazy twist where it turns out to be all of them as one supreme.
4. Fiona, the current supreme can't be dead that easy. She just can't be. I see her coming back for the finale in a way only Fiona can.
5. Cordelia, Fiona's daughter has been sort of a disappointment this season with her weakness, her marrying a witch slayer, and overall letting down all the witches by not being able to protect them. I have a feeling that she is much more than that. Maybe the finale will prove me right. If all of them aren't the supreme, then the writers can shock me with another type of twist by making her the supreme and she doing something completely bad ass in the last episode.
So there you have it. I'm super excited about tonight's finale. I want all my questions answered and I look forward to the being very entertained *pours wine in glass*. And the countdown starts now...

The Carrie Diaries
Well Thanksgiving was eh and Black Friday was blah. I promised by brother
that I would accompany him on his shopping spree and it was slightly
horrible. Shopping is very unappealing when
you aren’t buying things for yourself. I
did not buy (nor planned on buying) anything as I am on a limited budget this
year. The only thing that could have
salvaged this day was a brand new episode of Carrie Diaries but like most
holiday weekends, new episodes aren’t aired.
Instead of The Carrie Diaries tonight, they are giving “Grandma Got Run Over by a
Reindeer” *rolls eyes*. Ugghhh. I’ll
just have to wait until next week but in the mean time I’ll share what I think
of this surprisingly entertaining American teen drama.
1. In SATC, Carrie says that her dad walked out on her and her mother when she was a toddler. However her young, lawyer father is not only present but really great to her and her younger sister, Dorrit.
2. Speaking of Dorrit, I don’t remember Carrie mentioning a younger sister in SATC.
3. In SATC, Carrie says that she lost her virginity to Seth Bateman in a “smelly rec room on a ping pong table” but in Carrie Diaries she loses it to Weaver not on a ping pong table but still in a rec room.
4. An episode of SATC was dedicated to a boy she dated in high school named Jeremy (played by David Duchovny). They have not once mentioned any kid by that name yet in TCD and I don’t think they will. It’s all about Sebastian.
5. One of the SATC movies said something about meeting Charlotte first or something but Samantha is the first one introduced to the viewers in TCD.
So the prequel to Sex and the City is…so
far so great! Especially the second
season now that Samantha’s been introduced. BT-dubs Lindsey Gort, the actress
who plays young Samantha, is doing an incredible job. The faces, the attitude,
the voice, everything is pretty spot on.
All great things have cons though. The inconsistencies kind of bum me
out. I think writers should respect that
we or (maybe just I) will remember everything about the Sex and the City episodes
and that when it differs in The Carrie Diaries, I (or maybe we) will be
annoyed.

I am sure there are more but those are
the ones that I caught quickly and can remember. I never read the books but
apparently they aren’t inaccuracies and Candace Bushnell in fact wrote them
with these weird loopholes but either way it is odd and annoying. Nonetheless, I’m used to it. I grew up watching
sitcoms like Boy Meets World, Family Matters, and Saved by the Bell where
characters would disappear or lose/gain a sibling out of nowhere without an
explanation. I can deal with the dual
life of Carrie Bradshaw because I enjoy the show. I heard it is on the verge of
being cancelled but it better not be. Whenever
I like something it gets cancelled. Don’t
do this to me CW.
