What was Mikey Thinking?

  Room 320 notes Right in to Ben and Kristen arriving at the hospital after David’s attack. It’s interesting how the umbrella ding has become shorthand for ‘We’re just arriving and things begin now. And Bishop Marx is already at the hospital ahead of them Kristen knows the detective on the case and he’s an idiot.   Have we met him before? Ah, Kristen’s cop friend from the exorcism episode Myra: This is the priest? From your house? Myra was Dana in Cabin in the Woods. I hadn’t put that together. I like how unflappable Myra is Ghana? Why was David saying Ghana I like how they talk over each other in such a natural way. Richard Ghana. Not a case we saw I don’t think. Myra: Description? Ben: Tall. Caucasion. Looked like, you know, a bad gym teacher. Kristen: Who’s Judy? Ben: Oh, she was you... before you. What happened to Judy then? So, a possible possession case prior to Kristen. David thought it was possession and Judy didn’t. David should not b...

  Notes on Seven Swans a Singin Nice choice to begin with singing of Christmas carols Ben and Kristen walking into a catholic school Why are David and Kristen both distracted Bishop Marx is concerned about the school’s liability. Typical The girls can’t stop singing the same song over again. It is, admittedly, lovely. This feels like a very show choir kid problem. The girls honestly don’t know what the song is that they’re singing and can only stop for brief intervals before compulsively starting again. They sing because ‘it feels good.’ And hear the song in their heads. And they map any other songs lyrics onto the tune Stuck song syndrome? Is that a real thing? She gave them gum as a cure Bishop Marx: Kristen, was it? Kristen: It was. Marx doesn’t remember her name for certain yet? Lexi. I still can’t keep the girls straight Sami is bullying Lexi in school. And Sheryl advises revenge via brick to the face. Darkly funny So unexpected that Sheryl wo...

  Exorcism part 2 notes Extreme close up of Leland A, B, C Oh, it’s the incel kid from a few episodes ago Activating incident, belief, consequences. Then destruction. He’s really indoctrinating a killer Andy doesn’t seem suspicious of David at all. He must have not seen anything Andy came home early because he missed them and was worried about Laura’s heart Is Andy going to break his promise and tell Kristen and Sheryl’s sex life? Andy seems happy that he and Sheryl found a detante Kristen: The Tibetan band can play tomorrow. It’s odd how good a husband Andy is at this point Kristen seems to really like her job. Oh right, she’s still stoned She’s very carefully calling David her coworker Kristen: Like a baby’s ass. Andy: That’s what I like. Sexy talk ***Andy: You got more demanding, Kristen: You don’t know the half of it. Interesting that Kristen was never afraid at night until Andy came home. Nice establishing of the ice pick hammer The argume...

  2 Fathers notes Nice isolation of the significant demon sygil as the opening shot Monsignor is very hesitant about them having snuck the pictures of the secret text How much of this does the monsignor already know? Kristen’s answer makes total sense David is not mentioning that the artist using the demon sygil is his father. Whoops, cat’s out of the bag. Why wouldn’t Kristen be going with him in any case? David’s dad is apparently a bad guy. That explains a lot about his outlook Ben (D’artagnion – love that) is off recording voice overs for TV Kristen is encouraging Ben to pursue the woman from that TV show – vanessa, who he’s called 3 times and she’s ghosting Ben’s doing looping Ben: This is a lie Recording guy: It’s TV. It doesn’t have to be exactly true And here’s Vanessa Also called ADR Kristen’s enjoying the nature David: Not another house for ten miles. It’s like the start of a horror movie. Kristen: Oh, well, bad cell phone coverage. Guess...

  Let X=9 notes   David and Kristen clearly haven’t resolved their fight from last week.   Does that feel manufactured? They’ve never done a prophet before. How long has this program Why are they at a day care? Or is it a school I wish I knew Chinese dialects. The possibly prophet is either a teacher or day care worker Grace Ling David: How does God speak to you? Grace: Very slowly Grace seems sweet and genuine David is asking if she waits for god to have something to say because he’s trying to justify the drug use to summon him Timely Jeff Epstien reference David really does want to know god’s plan for him What’s with the beach ball Grace says they’re in danger because ‘they’ know about his visions Kristen needs to avoid the color red for the next seven days Kristen: It sounds more like a fortune cookie than God. Grace: Sometimes God sounds like a fortune cookie. Reporting back to the Monsignor The church wants to know if Grace i...

  October 31 notes I’m kind of over fake ghosthuner shows Gotham Ghosts Runway Dolls Caliente Day. Love that Ben: Yep. I’m skeptical. Have we seen the Hopkins house before? Laura’s heart valve hasn’t developed more   Doctor: We’ll wait a couple of weeks and pray for good news Kristen: Pray? Doctor: Figure of speech. Hope for good news Does Laura understand how serious her heart problem is Ah, the Hopkins house was a case before the pilot episode Where are the other girls? Sheryl trying to scare away her date’s hiccups is exactly what I would have done Leland is creepy right off the bat with Sheryl. Interesting that she’s drawn to that Leland: Kindness is hypocrisy Is it weird to hold an exorcism on Halloween I get why bad girl Sheryl would be drawn to this Leland kissing is icky. Bold choice of the show to set up Sheryl and Leland romantically Sheryl: Grandma’s here and she’s ready for her close up. You guys look amazing. Lexis: And she’...

  Evil – 3 Stars notes The six types of posseion. Love the training video music Nice effect on back ripping I wonder if this is really the catholic breakdown of possession   Diabolical obsession. Do I have that? I like that they pointed out that all of them could be psychological Hey, it’s lionel Luther! Byron Duke Kristen geeking out over Duke is adorable **   “Oh, I would want. That would be great. Yes, Please, Please, Yes. Six months ago he lost a Tony Patti just goes to the church Byron is sweating blood and makes the surroundings colder Leland is continuing to reverse all of Kristen’s verdicts A 15 year old kid is going to be sent to jail Monsigneur – “Well, here’s everyday evil.” Ooo, clever of Kristen to get to testify about Leland Byron: There’s a reason Harvey Weinstein went down. I don’t use sex and I’m much more talented I stand behind two spaces after the period The 53 rules of dominance He’s offended that he’s going bal...
