#House season 1 episode 3 series
It’s never really clear how familiar they were before the series begins, but they clearly hit it off once they move into the house. While in the tub, Jesse and Joey get to know each other a little better. They tell Kimmy to go home and then decide that they’d better give the baby a bath. All this character-driven angst is interrupted by Joey and Jesse entering the room after apparently smearing poo all over Michelle. At the outset, Kimmy and DJ are planning a fruitful year of note passing and saying “ew” about boys, but Stephanie is worried about starting kindergarten. That’s right, the girls are getting ready for the first day of school. Like the previous episodes, the title of this one pretty much tells you everything you need to know. The show’s guest stars (Kate Mara, Lily Rabe) live up to the high standards set by the rest of the cast.Finally, Kimmy Gibbler appears onscreen! After an enticing mention of her as DJ’s friend on the phone in episode 1, we finally get to see her in the flesh! Her first appearance doesn’t really leave any lasting impressions, but let’s just say that you haven’t seen the last of ol’ Kimmy… This week, everyone seemed to hit their beats perfectly: Connie Britton is consistently excellent, Frances Conroy (who has absolutely the best scene of the entire episode this week) and Alex Breckinridge are a great tag-team as Moira, and even Dylan McDermott is growing on me.

Denis O’Hare’s Larry Harvey (aka Crispy) is quietly overtaking the others on the program as my second favorite character, behind Jessica Lange’s Constance. The acting on this show continues to be outstanding. Some scenes were presented as a duality: Viv yelling at her Realtor Marcy (Christine Estabrook) over nondisclosure of the Murder House‘s history and Moira’s yelling at Viv after Ben fired her “without cause.” Charles and Nora Montgomery’s secret abortion clinic (which I have suspected since the very first episode) to the thread linking Constance and Moira together mirror the events happening to Ben and company. All of the events of the house so far, from Dr. Normally, a confusing sequence of events is the sign of a poor director, but in this case it all feels as deliberate as the way the stories of the Murder House‘s past seems to mirror the events currently happening to the Harmon family. Rather than simply telling or showing Ben’s state, the viewer is actually put into the kind of confused, scattered mental state by the way the show is stitched together.Īll the threads make sense, the scenes last just long enough to get the point across without getting the viewer too comfortable, and the recurring use of the Dutch angle as a motif this week helps contribute to the uneasiness. The whole episode moves like an antique steam engine in fits and starts and hisses, and given the show’s subject matter and the revelation we’re given this week regarding just why Ben keeps waking up in random places after blacking out, it makes a whole lot of sense. The narrative this week is very awkward and disjointed. This week’s episode certainly had a lot going on, but I have to give major credit to the director, David Semel. Rather than dragging things along for an entire season like some shows, American Horror Story is revealing clues at a steady, refreshing pace, while consistently adding new things to puzzle over. It’s just new mysteries, and I wholeheartedly approve of this. A lot of the intrigue introduced in the first two episodes gets resolved this week, but an entirely different set of intriguing circumstances are introduced to replace them, so the mysteries of the show continue on. Oh yeah, this week we also get the story behind Constance and Moira’s complicated relationship, as if there wasn’t enough for one hour of television. Meanwhile, Vivien’s pregnancy is at risk due to the stress in her life, yet she persists in trying to figure out just what happened to turn their family home into a tourist attraction. As it turns out, not only did Hayden not get the abortion, her hormones have been turned up to eleven, and she’s decided the best idea would be to follow Ben across the country and jeopardize his entire life in the hopes of rekindling a relationship with him, or something else similarly crazy. Last week, while his family was in peril, Ben was off trying to get Hayden an abortion.
