[neverending]

SOME SPOILERS BELOW


I'm loving this season more and more every episode. This new ep. was a work of art right from the opening scene. The framing of the scene, a dialogue between two people, and one of them shown only in a small mirror behind the other, was masterful. And the performances of Lange and Basset, so subtle and powerful, telling us through their eyes only, that they are both lying to each other.

I have marveled at the show's ability to find personal favorite actresses of mine and giving them meaty roles to play; Mare Winningham, Patty Lupone, and now pulling a classic rock icon out of left field and in a bit of truly inspired metacasting, playing on everything that Stevie Nicks means to us.

I also particularly loved seeing the theramin in use. The mystery of who will be the next supreme keeps me intrigued. I started this season feeling it didn't quite meet up to the first two seasons, but I now feel it's every bit the equal, and if they come up with a mind blowing finale, it may well be the best yet.
