American Horror Story: Asylum - "Continuum" (Jan. 16, 2013)

In the last episode before next week's season finale, Kit faces yet another tragedy and catches up with an old friend who isn't who she used to be. Also, Jude finds herself in the midst of a shocking discovery when her new roommate arrives at Briarcliff.

Lots of the same crazy chills tonight, but what's cool about this week's episode is that it really plays with your head. The horror is very psychological, which is something that's always attracted me as a viewer. I loved getting all twisted when Jude meets Dr. Crump. The twist reminded me of one similar in Scorsese's "Shutter Island", which is a fantastic horror-drama film that takes place in and around a Boston mental hospital. No doubt this season's creators borrowed a page or two from that movie.
As for Kit, I really pity the fool, and if you watch this week's episode, it's easy to see why. He's dealt with such pain and hardship this season that I'm fascinated to see how they conclude his character in next week's finale. Heck, I'm excited to see how the whole thing ends for all involved. It promises to be a spine-tingling night of television, that's for sure.

Wednesday 10/9c on FX
