American Horror Story 6x10 Promo Season 6 Episode 10 Promo

Spoiler alert: Stop here if you havent seen the gore fest known as the penultimate episode ofAmerican Horror Story: Roanoke.

Breathe in, breathe out. Be thankful youre not on fire or disemboweled or full of bullets. Okay, lets talk about tonights episode.

As most other generations agree, tonights episode falls apart when the Millennials show up. Sophie, Miloand Todd are exploring the Roanoke woods when Diana appears, bleeding. If you said, Wait, I thought Diana was dead? youre right. The teens eventually find her, still trapped in her car. They take the story to the police, but theyre uninterested in these childish pranks. Oh, kids, and their viral videos.

Back at the house, Audrey and Lee have to convince Pig Man/Dylan/TV Ambrose that everyone is, you know, actually dead. The trio formulates a plan to escape while still getting Lees confession tape. Going back to Polk manor, Audrey finds Monet, Lee finds the tape, and Dylan hot-wires a truck, but nothing can be so easy. The Polks are numerous, if anything, so one stabs Dylan as another corners Audrey and Monet. Audrey shoots him and escapes with Monet, but Lee is still out there... abandoned.

Assuming shes dead, Monet and Audrey watch the tapes that reveal that Lee killed Mason. Theyre stunned, but the real stunner is that Lee is surviving in the woods. A figure comes and serves her a pig heart, and apparently pig heart, like tequila, can make you do some questionable things.

The teens go back to Roanoke to do more investigating after posting their footage. They run into Lee, who kills Todd. Sophie and Milo escape to the production trailer after being chased down by a wounded Ambrose. They discover Audrey and Monet still alive, but they also see Lee approaching the house. Sophie insists they have to stop Lee.

At this point, Lee has made it inside the house. Audrey and Monet hear her, but when they find her, shes just staring at the top of the stairs. She tells Audrey and Money they are vile and defiling the house. Clearly, Lee is not feeling like her old one-eared shelf. Monet claps back, but Lee shoves her over the balcony, impaling her on a spindle. Audrey runs, because Audreyis a screaming runner andLee cleaves her in the shoulder before pushing her into the outside bunker.

Of course, were not done Roanoke has shown up to the party. The Butcher disembowels Dylan, and while Milo and Sophie watch it all unfold (literally and metaphorically), Lee grabs them and delivers them to the Roanoke clan. The last footage, collected from Milos cloud, shows Sophie and Milo being impaled, raised, and burned alive.

The police finally show up and find all of the victims, as well as a Lee, in shock, as if she didnt kill off a character from every Ryan Murphy show. They also find Audrey, who has climbed her way out of that bunker. She sees Lee though and attempts to shoot her with an officers gun, but the other officers unload on her. But in a short preview from next weeks finale (thank G*d), we see Lee being interviewed by the one and only Lana Winters.

It was a big episode, yall. We lost Taissa, Sarah, Wes, Jacob, and that poor kid that played Milo. Take care of yourself, stay whole, and come back next week for this bonkers interview.

Arrow Reveals First Look At Vigilante Costume - Comicbook.com


Arrow 5x06 Sneak Peek "So It Begins" (HD)

In the teaser for next week"s episode ofArrow, audiences got their first look at Vigilante, the costumed hero created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.

In the comics, there have been various characters to go by the name, although the main one was Adrian Chase -- the character who is currently Star City"s district attorney. While Chase has expressed misgivings about the role of masked adventurers in Star City, he seemed to warm to them significantly after seeing Team Arrow work a couple of weeks ago.

Vigilante has, apparently, already been active in Star City in before he appears onscreen; in theArrow season 5 premiere, Felicity and Oliver were taking a count of the city"s recent influx of costumed do-gooders, and one of the police sketches seen on Felicity"s screen was a George Perez drawing of Vigilante, suggesting that the hero has not only already hit the streets but that his costume will look pretty much like it did in the comics (unless that"s not a very good police sketch, whichis possible).

"When I watch something that"s based off of literature, I"m excited to see the parts that I imagined in my head," Segarra told reporters during a visit to the set of Arrow last week. "So when I started reading Vigilante comics, there were little parts where I was like "I hope I get to do this," or "I hope I get to go down this road," and so far I"m getting to do a lot of those things."

He told ComicBook.com during theArrow 100th episode party that they were working hard not to disappoint anybody who read the comics and had expectations for the character.

"The biggest question that I have for myself as an actor is "why does this person become the person that they are?"" Segarra said. "So what"s going to be hard is that in the middle of the season I get to introduce Vigilante. So now I"m getting to tell that backstory and we get to tell the biggest pieces and get to show him becoming who he is before episode 7."

While in the comics, Vigilante tends to be fairly similar to Wild Dog in his aggressive, brutal approach to fighting crime, he"s a more complex and layered character. Chase is only one of the people to use the name Vigilante; he would eventually be consumed with guilt over his own abandonment of the rule of law, and would take his own life. Later, another Vigilante would take his place -- and yet another debuted last monthin the pages ofVigilante: Southland#1.

We also asked Segarra about Chase"s depression and mental illness, but all he could say was "That"s a good question. Why isn"t he showing his pain? That will be answered."

He said that while it would be a while before he got to suit up as Vigilante, he "a thousand percent" pawed through the script for "Invasion!" -- the show"s hundredth episode -- to see what part Adrian got to play alongside Supergirl, The Flash, and the rest of the DC/CW superheroes.

Arrow airs on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

Kellyanne Conway: Voters "finally got their wish"


Full interview: Trump campaign"s Kellyanne Conway
Donald Trumps campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said her candidate wants to unify the country. (Carlo Allegri/Reuters)

Donald Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told MSNBC her candidate won because he did a better job of listening to the American people.

Theyve waited for someone outside of politics to shape up politics and theyve finally got their wish, she said Wednesday on Morning Joe.

Even amidst a corrupt and rigged system where people feel they are forgotten and dont have a shot, they really can rise up on Election Day.

Conway, who became Trumps campaign manager in August, said he was determined to unify the country, starting with meeting with President Obama on Thursday.

Conway said she and Trump had not spoken about his campaign trail claim that he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clintons use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

We did not discuss that last night and he certainly did not address it with Mrs. Clinton on the phone (when she conceded).

A centerpiece of a Trump presidency will be defeating Islamic terrorism, Conway said.

He thinks of them as savage murderers.

Conway said that in coming days Trump will be fielding calls from foreign leaders.

He certainly will welcome those calls, she said. Hes said to the world community, I will put America first, but I will be fair.

She also chided pollsters who, up until Election Day, had predicted a victory for Hillary Clinton.

If I could take one thing away from this, youve got to listen to the people, she said. Listen less to each other and listen to the people. People are wise.

Jill Stein: Expect trouble in the White House - News from Al Jazeera


The Green Party"s Jill Stein: Why Choose Between a "Fascist" and a "Warmonger"?

US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says the 2016 US election "lifted the curtain on what an incredibly toxic and predatory political system the US has," and warned that whichever candidate wins there will be "trouble in the White House".

In an interview with Al Jazeera early on Wednesday, Stein said the Democrat Party had "sabotaged" the one candidate who could have beaten Trump hands down - Bernie Sanders - as a win for Republican nominee and business tycoon Donald Trump became a real possibility.

"Coming out of this election, whether it"s Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the White House, we need a politics of integrity going forward, a political party that is of, by, and for the people, one that can stand up for the future we need, combat climate change, help students by making higher education free, provide healthcare as a human right, and end these catastrophic wars for oil that are making us less safe and bankrupting our economy."

Stein said she expected a "continuing rise for the Green Party".

When asked if a vote for her along with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson could have swayed the election in Trump"s favour, Stein responded by saying that Clinton had "failed" to win the Green Party over.

"The solution to a compromised and sick democracy is not less democracy, we need more voices and choices, we need ranked choice voting so that you"re not confined to two toxic parties and two predatory candidates that the American public dislikes and distrusts.

"The moment we create ranked choice voting we will have a multi-party democracy ... Otherwise we will continue to have a hijacked predatory system that serves the economic elite."

Electoral College map 2016: make your election result predictions


SR 1314 – Trump Will CRUSH Crooked Hillary Clinton - Latest Electoral College Map Prediction

The Electoral College is one of the more bizarre quirks of theUS presidential race. Instead of relying on the popular vote, a presidential candidate needs the majority of the Electoral College 270 out of 538 electoral votes to win the White House on Election Day. (And, of course, if all the candidates fail to receive at least 270 votes, then the race is sent to the House.)

Each state and Washington, DC, is allocated a share of electoral votes based on the US Census. A state"s entire share of electoral votes goes to whoever wins the most votes except in Maine and Nebraska, where instead votes are split up based on each state"s number of congressional districts and popular vote winner.

If you"re ready to predict how the Electoral College will split in the 2016 election, you can click on each state below to toggle among Democrat, Republican, and third parties.

A few tips:

  • You can split Nebraska and Maine"s electoral votes, but be warned that it"s only ever happened once in Nebraska in 2008.
  • Polls suggest there"s a chance independent Evan McMullin might take Utah, but it"s extremely unlikely that any other state will have a majority third-party vote.
  • The Vox Politics team thinks some states will definitely go Republican or Democrat but that there are 13 swing states left that are too difficult to predict right now. The map is prefilled with our suggestions above, but you can alternatively fill it out with 2012 results or clear out the entire map and start fresh.
