March

Okay, so episode seven, The Biggest Witch of Them All, unleashed the Cortez Devils.

Watching Evan Peters as James March playing this piano the entire time was just diabolical and unhinged.

I'm like, "Is he ever going to stop?" It almost got to be a little bit too much.

But watching these risen serial killers literally doing the devil's work, I mean, we got The Night Stalker, Jeffrey Dahmer, who we did see last week, and again, I think it's a missed opportunity not having Evan Peters play that role since he played it in Monster.

But I think one of my favorite moments was definitely Queenie and using her mirroring ability to have Dahmer start to eat himself.

The irony of that [bell rings] and really the entire sequence with these Cortez Devils, which culminated in Fiona snapping all of their necks in unison, and that was another crowning achievement of these episodes.

But it also felt quite satisfying having Fiona enlist the actual Cortez Devils to take out James March, who was basically in charge of them.

Before I get more into episode eight, though, I just wanted to pause a moment and say thank you to everybody who's been watching along with me.

So this episode actually starts off with, uh, some of the blast from the past.

Y'all, we've got your boy, um, James March.

He is from the Hotel era.

Now, I do remember watching Hotel, and I do remember that being one of the, uh, more favorable ones for me.

But anyhoo, so everybody leaves, right? And so next thing you know, Cordelia starts, uh, walking the halls, and I'm like, okay, did she tell her, "Hey, meet me at coordinate one point" [laughs] "Meet me at X marks the spot," right? I'm thinking that's what's finna happen, but Cordelia's just walking the hallways, right, when there's a knock at the door.

So without looking through the peephole, without moving the curtain to the side, she opens up the door using her powers, okay? She not right at the door, but she opens the door using her powers.

Lo and behold, it's James March.

And so I was like, "Oh, hell." So she was like, "Hey, uh, say, sir, I don't know if you have the wrong address or what, but you're not welcome here." And so I was like, wait a minute, I don't remember him being a vampire, so why you saying it like he can't cross over the threshold? So he walks in, and he's got one of those, um, scythes, scythes? The little gardening tool, right? It's a sharp knife, but it's like a curved hooky type of situation, okay? And so, um, you know, he talking cash money, and he basically saying, "Look, I don't like the way that y'all did what y'all did the last time we ran into each other, so I'm finna get ready to take your ass out." And so Cordelia was, you know, like, laughing at him like, "How dare you bring a knife to a witch fight?" Like, this is crazy to me.

I enjoyed it.

I loved James March in Hotel.

It was absolutely a highlight of Hotel for me, and a lot of people.

And the, the thing that's hard for me to distinguish which episode I liked better, five or six, would be the difference between how great that pig head was, and I loved that.

I can get the appeal with Evan Peters, and I think he's a good actor, and so that, he, I usually like where he is.

I don't like how he plays every role, but I don't mind seeing him on the screen.

Yeah, I think him as James Patrick March was good.

Dahmer, always a good thing.

But they just added that in.

His ride arrives, and it's James Patrick March from Hotel.

He is the character that is heavily inspired by H.H. Holmes and is played by Evan Peters.

That's your guy.

... and get them to come over or tell them where he is.

But he does admit that it feels like cheating, and it takes all of the sport out of it for him.

March tells Jeffrey to go tell the others why we've been brought back and tell, and get them together.

And then Jeff is like, "Okay, done." And he sent a group text.

And then we saw the door when she opened it.

It was James March and not Fiona.

And it made me ask the question again.

Well, who was controlling that Ouija board? Was it really Fiona or was it somebody else? But long story short, we see Mr.

March has resurrected the Cortez Devils, you know, himself, Dahmer, the Zodiac, the Night Stalker.

And it seems that their entire job and purpose is to hunt down the witches of the coven for Satan.

And we see that Cordelia tries to fight along with one of the new witches.

And I'm sure you guessed it.
