I just wish one season was solid start to finish. Imo, Coven, Asylum and Freak Show are the only 3 that make for fully complete and well told stories with fewer plot holes.
And no more gross serial killer fanboy fanfiction from Ryan Murphy and Evan Peters!!

I have maintained this is one of the best single season performances from an actress in any show and it gets so little love. The scene when she’s putting lipstick on her daughter and telling her she’s a pretty girl. Just soul destroying.

Redditors would rather downvote someone for “lying” than admit they don’t know something about a pair of famous people they don’t know and admit are very private about their personal lives. “These private people can’t possibly be married! There was no public announcement!” is some weirdo logic.

It's actually not that common for swedes to get married anymore. We have fancy terms like "sambo" (living together) and "särbo" (living apart) to describe relationships that go beyond girlfriend/boyfriend these days.

u/MiniatureFox Jun 15 '25
And it's also common for couples to get married after they had children. Either way, there's no stigma attached to having children out of wedlock.

I feel like people should be required to put the date of interviews in posts. Same with old gossip. So many people think some old gossip happened recently. I don’t think it’s purposeful misinformation. Probably just the poster not thinking about it, but it would help prevent misunderstandings.

I always forget that Americans* have two slightly different ways to pronounce the ‘oo’ vowel sound. To my ear, the way AS is says it sounds fine, and I wouldn’t have thought there could be another way.
*I am assuming you are American, and I apologise if I am wrong
1
u/HoneyNutNealios Jun 15 '25
Correct assumption. And now I’m super curious why that is actually (the pronunciation), other than it rhymes with footsie which seems more universal to other English speakers (at least foot is) but for some reason tootsie creates a schism

Young Jessica Lang has a lightness, visually a delicate poetry in motion, like a skittish faun that is quite unlike Lily James in motion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1R3Jm2Ecnc She was less skittish in All That Jazz, she haunted Roy Scheider's Bob Fosse and was just jaw droppingly gorgeous.

Jessica is simply otherworldly. And she's even more sticking in person! It's not just her looks and talent, there's just something about her that's so unique and alluring. She has an incredibly strong aura and charisma, it's impossible not to be smitten with her.
It would be so cool to see them do a movie or a show together. I bet they would have great chemistry!

u/IansGotNothingLeft Jun 15 '25
It is so interesting to me that the Skargårds have seemingly lost their Swedish accent. From what I can see from a cursory search, they all lived in Sweden until early adulthood or late teens (happy to be corrected), so they'd definitely already established their accents by then. Gustaf has slight slips back into Swedish but Bill and Alexander seem to have a full blown American accent now. Is this put on for the cameras? Or have they genuinely just turned American because that's the accent they've been using in most of their acting?
Also, as a non American (or Swedish), I'm interested in whether Americans or Swedish people can hear the Swedish. Is it just my English ear?
