![]() Beyond that, however, the women of Coven mostly fought each other - note how much precious screen time was devoted to the "catfight" between Madison and Misty (Lily Rabe) in the season's penultimate episode.Īnd while the women did have moments of triumph over their male oppressors, they were far more successful fighting each other than the men in their lives. The season began with a retread of the rape-revenge convention, as young witch Madison (Emma Roberts) was drugged and gang raped by a group of frat boys, whom she then murdered with the power of magic. The themes of female power were explored on occasion, but the writers didn't delve much deeper than the Spice Girls did in the '90s. American Horror Story: Coven is followed by American Horror Story: Freak Show.There's something admirable about a series where seven of the nine leads are women, but Coven was not nearly as feminist as it appeared to be on the surface. It is a bit of crapshoot, but it still is fun to see it unfold. You can watch a season and like a season but then not enjoy the next one. ![]() The series continues to warp and change season to season and that in itself makes it worth coming back to. It has moments of horror (like the Halloween zombie invasion), but then also has moments where Stevie Nicks shows up and gives a music video…it is a weird, odd looking season.Īmerican Horror Story: Coven shows that American Horror Story still has tricks up its sleeve. American Horror Story: Asylum is dark and this is the flipside of it. I don’t like the visuals as much as the other years. The plot and the limited episodes just don’t allow it. ![]() A majority of the characters however do have uneven development and never really seem to get fleshed out. I particularly like the Kathy Bates/Gabourey Sidibe relationship which shows the most growth and development. Jessica Lange continues to make it look easy as she switches from role to role but newcomers Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, and Gabourey Sidibe also do a great job. The cast is strong (like in previous seasons), but there are many standouts. It does work in context of the series, but it might not be what everyone expects from American Horror Story. There are a few tense moments, but this season is much more tongue-in-cheek with the horror…almost like an episode of a WB show more than an episode of American Horror Story or even a Tales from the Crypt episode. It is a lot like the ending of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King that just goes on and on.Īmerican Horror Story: Coven has a lot more humor than the previous entries. American Horror Story: Coven shows a change in tone but still has that weird, post climax moment that just doesn’t feel connected to the story. The second season ( American Horror Story: Asylum) had a lot of great stuff going on it but also had some issues with the end. ![]() The first season of American Horror Story (which later came to be known as American Horror Story: Murder House) was good and creepy, but suffered from a really awful last episode. ![]() Will AHS: Coven make you stab your eyes out? Read on… The series aired on FX from Octoto Januand won Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie (Jessica Lange), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie (Kathy Bates), Outstanding Costumes for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special (“Bitchcraft”), and Outstanding Hairstyles for a Miniseries or a Movie with nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie (Sarah Paulson), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie (Frances Conroy), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie (Angela Bassett), Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special (“Bitchcraft”), Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special (“Bitchcraft”), Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Miniseries or a Movie, Outstanding Casting for a Miniseries, Movie, or a Special, and Outstanding Miniseries.

![]() Here is a video I created on the double tandem rig, this is a perfect setup for flounder and can be tied in less than a minute. ![]() Tie a few and see if your do not catch more flounder, more keeper flounder, during your next trip. Plus, our tip on how to make it even better by pairing with the Gulp! Minnow Grub. So, there you have it, the best flounder rig and how to tie it. ![]() The 3 inch version is good if you want a teaser or are using smaller jigs. Regardless of what color you select the 4-inch version is best suited for most jigs. A growing number of anglers are reporting success with the orange tiger and salmon red varieties, but only time will tell if they reach the level of success the others have achieved. Most devote users prefer the pearl white color but will sometime switch it up with the chartreuse. Gulp! baits are almost unbelievable in their ability to catch fish and the Minnow Grub has quickly earned a reputation for catch big numbers of big fish. But there is one bait that has revolutionized flounder fishing and consistently produces more fish than anything else – the Gulp! Minnow Grub. Anglers without access to live bait often resort to dead shrimp and strips of squid. Because you are using the weight of the jig instead of a second heavier weight the flounder can be detected easier even when the bit subtle.įlounder feed on a variety of baits including shrimp, pinfish, finger mullet and other small baitfish. This is a more natural schooling presentation that flounder are expecting. Because each jig is tied to a separate length of line they swim separately, with the lower heavier jig often drifting behind the first. Plus, the weight being under the rig caused it to drop straighter and can make detecting the light bite difficult. Even if there are tag lines of varying lengths the baits suspend more or less one on top of the other. Other rigs present the baits in a near vertical position. What makes this jig so much better than the others out there? Simple, the action. This rig could not be easier to tie and can be prepared ahead of time or as needed: The most abundant and prolific bottom fish in Puget Sound is the Pacific Sand Dab.
