LOL! As an aside -Have you checked out the Brit version of Free Agents? It's actually better written, but also with a lot more foul language. And more emphasis on the "talent agent" bit. They have a great bit about Sarah Michelle Gellar and Scooby Doo. (The American version has been canceled, but the Brit version has popped up on BBC America.)
Agree with you AHS. It was trying to hard. And if you've watched all of these horror films that they are trying top, not so much referencing as topping...it becomes ridiculous.
Next few episodes will probably reference Rosemary's Baby.
Since it is on F/X - it could last two seasons, most likely make it at least one. Things tend to stay on F/X longer. Whedon should have put Dollhouse on F/X - it was tailor made for that channel.
It does get "overwrought with the emotion" - and it doesn't gradually build up to it. McDermott's screaming match with Vivian felt like it came out of nowhere. And the bully fights in the high school - also abrupt and out of nowhere. They didn't earn their moments, they just jumped right to them. Which makes it hard to care.
