This is the crossover episode “American Horror Story” fans have been waiting for. The fourth episode of “Apocalypse” is, not counting the opening sequence, told in flashbacks, with half focusing on Langdon’s rise to power, and the other half catching audiences up on what the Coven has been up to since the end of Season 3.
The episode starts with Langdon (Cody Fern) talking with the robotic Ms. Mead (Kathy Bates) about the woman he based her on — a Satanic worshipper who took a young Langdon in.
As Mead proclaims her allegiance to Langdon, the witches, Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) and Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy) talk with the newly revived Coco (Leslie Grossman), Mallory (Billie Lourd) and Dinah (Adina Porter).

Mrytle tells Mallory she’s under an identity spell, so she can’t remember her past, and that she’s basically a female Harry Potter. Langdon and Mead come down the stairs and he tells the witches they’ll wish they were still dead.
After that, the rest of the episode takes place three years before the bombs were dropped.
The J.K. Rowling parallels get even more apparant as before the bombs, Outpost was an all males warlock school called Hawthorne. It’s basically Hogwarts, with John Moore (Cheyenne Jackson in his fourth season of “AHS) essentially being young Dumbledore. Who needs “Fantastic Beasts 2” when they’ve got this?
Moore and the other warlock teachers watch security footage of a short-haired Langdon, going full “Matilda” on the detective interrogating him, telepathically killing him. The quartet of Warlocks contemplate if they should have Langdon become “Alpha 4”, the male equivilent of the witches’ Surpeme.

Langdon gets visited by one of the teachers (let’s call him Hagrid) who tells him he’s a warlock and takes him to Hawthorne School. With the short blonde hair and boyish bewilderment (like Harry exploring Hogwarts in “Sorcerer’s Stone”), Langdon is really seeming like the son of “Murder House’s” Tate. Random shots of him had me momentarily thinking I was watching Evan Peters instead of Cody Fern.
Langdon performs tests for the four warlock teachers and proves he can basically do anything. He can levitate, telaport, reach into a mirror and pull out anything he wants and control the weather. Those seem to be all of the qualifications one would need to start the apocalypse. Young Dumbledore, Hagrid and the other two teachers decide they need to have Langdon attempt to perform the Seven Wonders (from “Coven” and Fleetwood Mac) to see if he’s the Supreme.
And with that, we’re into the Coven half of the episode! At the end of “Coven”, the new Supreme Cordelia announced to the world that witches were real and young witches started flooding to Miss Robichaux’s Academy. Season 3’s Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) is now teaching at the New Orleans Academy and notices Mallory also has above average abilities. As Cordelia and Zoe discuss this, Mrytle tells them a council has been called at the Hawthorne School.
Zoe has a newfound confidence in this episode that Farmiga has never shown on this show before. It’s nice to see her switching it up, after playing almost exclusively the young, lovesick teenager.
The Coven go to what will become Outpost and meet with young Dumbledore and the other warlocks. They discuss gender politics, race relations and the fate of the other witches from Season 3. Cordelia says she won’t administer the Seven Wonders on Langdon after losing Misty Day to it and talks about the fate of Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe).
Queenie has been stuck in the Hotel Cortez since her cameo is the fifth season, “Hotel.” Similarly to “Murder House” all the souls who have died in the hotel are stuck there forever. She’s playing cards with James Patrick March (Evan Peters’ character in “Hotel”, based on infamous murderere H.H. Holmes) when Cordelia comes to attempt a rescue. She tries to bring her out every door and window, but not even Cordelia’s powers can get Queenie out of the hotel.
Cordelia’s lisp really comes out when she cries, and I’m loving it. Also, the Hotel Cortez sounds much more ominious and scary as Cordelia describes it than it did in all of Season 5.
Langdon decides to travel to the Hotel Cortez and, by his side, Queenie is able to escape. He brings her with him to Hell to find Madison Montgomery, who was killed by another Evan Peters character in “Coven.”

In “AHS” Hell is personalized for everyone. Former movie-star-turned-witch Madison’s personal Hell is working customer service at a Bed, Bath and Beyond where she’s mistaken for Lindsay Lohan. She’s prodded by her manager and told to go fold towels, where Landgon and Queenie find her and somehow bring her back to Earth.
Madison and Queenie’s interactions are great and seem straight out of “Coven” with Madison pretending to be happy to see her, and Queenie saying she told Langdon that Madison was exactly where she belonged in Hell.
Cordelia tells the council that she’s not administering the Seven Wonders and the coven walk out. There’s something endlessly satisfying about watching these three high-fashion witches strut around in slow motion as its set to music.
When they walk out of the underground school, they’re greeted by Langdon, with Madison and Queenie by his side. Cordelia faints at the sight of her revived students and the episode ends.
“Could It Be … Satan?” was by far the best episode of “Apocalypse” so far, and it’s one of the few episodes throughout the eight seasons that managed to organically tie the anthology stories together. Watching a young, inexperienced Langdon really underscored that he’s Tate’s son, which made his section of the episode feel like a “Murder House” sequel, while the latter half felt like a genuine “Coven” part 2 with a “Hotel” crossover. We’re usually lucky to get a reference to another season about once a year, but interconnecting three within one episode made for an amazing hour of television.
The trailer for next week’s “AHS” teases Cordelia’s vision of the apocalypse and seems like it will once again mostly be a flashback. I’m totally fine with that, because I found this week’s episode to be infinitely better than anything involving the survivors at Outpost.
Katt Williams has reacted to Kevin Hart’s recent Breakfast Club interview.

While he didn’t respond to Hart’s exact claims regarding drug use, he did make it clear that things could get physical the next time they see each other.
After calling Hart a “f*ck a*s ni**a,” on Instagram Live, Williams said that the Night School actor pays Los Angeles gang members for protection. Even so, that won’t stop him from going at it with Hart.
https://youtu.be/oc1d-ugYKNk
“I was just in the gym and I’m headed to Mayweather’s. I’mma knock your motherf*cking mouth sideways, f*ckboy. I ain’t Stephen A. Smith, I’m really out in these motherf*cking streets, my ni**a.”
Smith and Hart got into a friendly debate over Philadelphia sports teams on ESPN’s First Take.
That’s when William then took shots at Hart’s web series, Cold As Balls.
Ain’t nobody concerned you keep going in cold, cold freezing water with other ni**as in they draws,” said Williams.
Since his release from prison Kodak has been…… While Kodak which means he puts out good music while immersing himself in some bullshit. Kodak has been on a little rant lately on social media going at not only A Boogie and Don Q but now he starting with Dj Akademiks and 6ix9ine. After his drunk rant on IG live saying he wants to fight pray boogie and Don Q ” I’m finna punch you fuck niggas up” while he walking out the hotel room. We all can see he’s drunk but Don Q made a response video to that telling Kodak to “Suck his dick” jokingly but Kodak didn’t find it funny. Kodak Exposes their message with Don Q telling him it was a joke and a ” clout move” but Kodak not trying to hear that.
It then proceeds with Kodak going back on IG live today talking about how he’s the best street rapper out, because he real everybody around him straight” Everybody scared to go to jail, ill go back tmm it anit nothing. Everybody around me got money there’s no problems” but it didn’t stop there. He then goes on how everybody in the industry be lying especially Akademiks , and nobody better than him especially 6ix9ine. A troll begets a troll as this causes 69 to tell him ” SUCK MY DICK” why can’t we just get along.
I hope this ends well for everybody as Kodak just got out of jail because if his video’s and 69 just got his house raided by police( In which they found a gun) but both these guys are on thin ice with the law. Its funny now but I hope it don’t escalate to anything serious. But check out the new video for Kodak track “If I’m Lying, Then I’m Flying” down below.
Breezy’s still has it bad for Rih Rih, and can’t stop thinking about her day in and day out…
Brown, 29 still fantasizes over the Barbados singer. It’s been years since they last broke up (after he physically assaulted the singer back in 2009).
A source close to Brown said “Chris can not get over Rihanna, even after all these years,” exclusively sharing to Hollywood Life “Despite the long time since they have been together, and the many tears they have both cried over their relationship, Chris still thinks about Rihanna all the time.”
“Sometimes Chris likes to look at her Instagram account and in the evenings he thinks about her when he can’t fall asleep at night.” the insider said. It doesn’t help Chris’s that Rihanna continues to flaunt her body. It’s hard for Chris to resist she is beautiful so he can’t help but take a look every now and then scrolling through videos and pics of her on her Instagram account. Not to mention, the sexy fashion choices would likely leave Chris wanting get back with his ex-girlfriend. Now a days Rih is sure looking better than ever so I don’t blame him.
He still fantasizes that one day they might get back together again and live happily ever after. Brown is really heartbroken over Rihanna and the memories he shares with her prevent him from moving on with someone new,” the insider said.
A lot has happened since their last public reunion in late 2012 and it seems that if being with Chris is what she wants, more then likely the singer will come around and give him another chance.
“I decided it was more important for me to be happy,” she told Rolling Stone in January 2013 about the controversial reunion. “I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. … He doesn’t have the luxury of f*cking up again. That’s just not an option. I can’t say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I’m pretty solid in the knowing that he’s disgusted by that. And I wouldn’t have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility.” Keep in mind, that was five years ago, and it’s obvious that Rihanna has moved on with her life, while Chris hasn’t.
They were such a cute couple, and if they were to get back together I think we all would love it.
Do hope to see Brown and Rih back together? Comment down below!
Chelsea Peretti, who plays Gina on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” will be departing from the series during its upcoming sixth season.
The show, which aired its first five seasons on Fox, was cancelled by the network earlier this year. Fans took to social media to express their displeasure, and eventually NBC agreed to pick the show up, saving it from cancellation.
Gina plays the Ninety-ninth precinct’s civilian administrator, and has never been afraid to voice her oftentimes ridiculous opinions. Peretti, who is married to “Get Out” helmer Jordan Peele, announced on Twitter Wednesday afternoon that the upcoming sixth season would be her last with the show.
B99 fans. Hiiiiiiiiiiii. Chelsea Peretti, here. I won't be doing a full season of Brooklyn Nine Nine in Season 6. But that doesn’t mean I won’t ever be back, winky face emoji, heart emoji. I want to thank you for the hours you spent watching Gina be Gina:
Dan Goor, the comedy’s showrunner, confirmed Peretti’s exit on Twitter. In an image posted with the tweet, Goor wrote “We have tried really hard to create a storyline for her departure that lives up to a character who can only be described as ‘The human embodiment of the 100 emojo.’ While it’s sad to see a member of the family leave, we are so proud of Chelsea and excited for what she does next.”
While she’ll no longer be a series regular, Peretti teased that she’s not against never appearing in future seasons. Since Gina has always been my favorite character on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” due mostly to her ridiculous personality and inability to hold back or censor herself, I’m not excited to see her go. I hope they don’t try to replace her with someone else, becuase I can’t imagine anyone filling her iconic shoes.
The sixth season of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” will air on NBC in 2019.
Netflix is changing the game with talks of launching a new feature that lets you decide different aspects of a television show.
The streaming company has plans to preview an interactive episode in the popular Emmy winning series, ‘Black Mirror’. The show is set to premier its fifth season this December, hopefully including an episode that allows viewers to chose the adventure of the episode. According to Bloomberg, the company is looking for new ways to lure customers in and interactive television seems to be the new theory. The streaming service already offers a number of choose-your-own-adventure television shows which are animated and tailored to children.
The ‘Black Mirror’ series differs from the children show because this will be the first experiment of interactive television with a live action series for Netflix. This is not yet expressed but will most likely affect production immensely, from the number of scripts to the time of the script writers, actors, and producers. The stories that will be narrated by viewers will be very complex and detail oriented, which is sure to take up a lot of time from the production standpoint.
If you are a ‘Black Mirror’ fan like myself I am sure this is something that you cannot wait for. This new video game like way of watching television is something I am sure will attract the minds of many. Comment down below what you think of interactive TV and if you will be participating in the new phenomenon.
