Hotel 5x07 Flicker: "She became immortal because of them"

Before I start writing the review about ”Flicker”, I leave you here the links to rewatch the episode.
ENG: http://gagadaily.com/story/news/ahs-hotel-s05e07-flicker/
SUB ITA: Not still available. As soon as possible I will post here the link




So, the seventh episode “Flicker” was a sort of a long flashback and the main character this time was our Countess, who, sometimes, shows her feelings. Moreover, we discover many other secrets of the Hotel Cortez, but there was something that I didn’t like so much …










The episode starts with the new owner Will Drake, who will marry soon the Countess. But before it, he decides to restructure the whole hotel. Works seem to proceed well, since when two bricklayers find a wall made of reinforced concrete. Mr. Drake orders to overthrow it, and when they do it, the two workers are killed by two … “zombies”? (I don’t still know how to define the characters of this season). The Countess, for the very first, time seems nervous when she sees the secret hiding place, in fact Iris notices it too and she says to her: “I’ve never seen you scared before”.









And now, the very long flashback, I was telling you before, starts when the Countess was only Elizabeth, a young girl with Italian origins who had the dream to be an actress. One day, in a movie set, she met the actor Rodolfo Valentino. The most magnificent thing about this character is that we know now why Elizabeth had said to Tristan <<Bellissimo>>. It is because he reminded her of Valentino, her former lover. But the most awful thing is that he is interpreted always by Finn. I can’t get why an actor must be two different characters in the same season. Anyway, Rodolfo wasn’t alone, but he was with his wife Natacha when he met Elizabeth. She became immortal because of them.









We also discover that Mr March’s wife is always the Countess. OMG Elizabeth, how many lovers did you have? They got married because she wanted to die when she heard news that Rodolfo was death, and Mr. March saved her. Besides, she also appreciated the tortures he made to the guests of the hotel. After the long flashback, Mr. March reveals that he had imprisoned Rodolfo and Natacha inside the hotel. We understand that the relationship between Elizabeth and the terrifying former owner has changed.










At the end of the episode we meet again our psychopathic old friend John, who decides, in fact, to live in a hospital for mentally ill people. But his reason is another, find the killer. When he opens the security door, he meets a cute and sweet girl: Wren. She says to him that she is responsible for many murders, but she is just an accomplice, the real killer lives inside the Hotel Cortez. As John get Wren out of the hospital, she decides to suicide crashing herself against a camion. But honestly I think she didn’t die. We will see in the next episode. 

Scene I liked most: Elizabeth is angry with Mr. March
I loved when she was invited to eat dinner with her ex-husband, and I adored her close ups. I exulted when she yelled at him. He has to pay for everything he has done.


Scene I liked less: Rodolfo and Natacha
They were very good actually and scaring at the same time, but I don’t agree with the idea that Finn must interpret another person. He is dead. STOP! It makes confuse the people who watch the season.

Mark: 7 
I must admit that this episode was more than great, but I was very disappointed by the choice of Ryan. I don’t really like the idea that an actor must interpret two different characters. I loved the long flashback dedicated to the Countess who showed feelings for the first time. I am very impress by Lady Gaga. She is a great actress. Othe negative points? YES! Why there wasn’t Sally? Donavon and Ramona?

Now I leave the promo of the next episode "The Ten Commandments Killer".
ATTENTION! This week there is no AHS, the eighth episode is for the 2nd December. 














What do you think about the Finn's new character? Do you agree with me or do you appreciate this choice? Leave a comment below.
