American Horror Story on FX

just stop and watch s2

yeah, season 1 sucks, but the second one is a blast

season one is more fun toward the end in a way than season two. season two tells you they're having fun with music and dramatic leaps but it's not as ridiculous and goofy

like, in season one you're thinking it's all dark in the horrible basement and then it ends up being poorly-hatched plans and braindead amnesiac ghosts

Jessica Lange reminds me of KatHep in Suddenly Last Summer.

THE FUCKING POPE???

~COVEN~

Kathy Bates will be terrorizing Wednesday nights during the fall as Madame LaLaurie – a real life serial killer who mutilated and murdered numerous slaves during the 1830s in New Orleans
Lange and Angela Bassett’s characters will be attempting to “mend the fence” between the Salem witches and the voodoo witches, but it’s unclear if Bassett’s Marie Laveau will be played present day or through flashbacks.

Yay! it's back and it is still ace, even better with what was already a fine cast with Bassett + Bates added.

Wasn't that hot on the premiere, but I'm hoping it develops to be as weirdly involving as last season was.

Jessica Lange vs Angela Bassett is looking like a top grade bitch off so far, just as good as it should be.

Fucking loving this once again. Patti fucking lupone!

I haven't seen this week's episode but I really hope the, uh, naive witch turns out to have more powers than fucking dudes to death because that's a pretty big buzzkill.

(for her)

this weeks episode written by the same guy that wrote the x-files episode 'home'!

Might be the best season so far; the levity was necessary. Admittedly pushes it closer to True Blood territory but still, Fleetwood Mac loving swamp witch doing Stevie Nicks dances with her scarf....priceless

i saw the series premiere of this the other night - or part of it anyway. they used the music from What Lies Beneath. rly shoulda left that alone.

ya this is really good right now

watched the first 7 episodes of s2 and this:

It is some wacky parade of the flimsiest and most obvious horror cliches strung together by comically incoherent dialogue and actions and reactions

is so OTM. so far they've covered the Exorcist, the Omen, zombies, nazi doctors, serial killers etc. when do the vampire werewolf mummies show up.

What is this? Knotty pine?!?

i am pleased with that as an ending.

This was roughly one tenth as good as last season. What a waste of an incredible cast.

Most unsatisfying the way they left Misty in hell, they didn't seem very bothered either.

yeah, that seemed like an unjust fate.

knotty pine line was the best thing abt the finale

The Misty thing was doubly unsatisfying since Rabe is by far the best of the younger actresses.

myrtle snow might have been my fave character overall

I enjoyed the witch council, wish they had more airtime

If I was to watch one of the first 3 seasons, which? As you may know i prefer dark wit and general creepiness to blood and thunder.

Series 2 in the asylum without doubt.

None of what I've seen from the show seemed all that witty tbh.

It is a horror series and Faulkner wasn't involved, but it has a very talented cast.

you won't like this Morbz. I didn't.

I wouldn't listen to this fucker.

Asylum (S2) is by far the best but I can't imagine you being into any of it really

It is some wacky parade of the flimsiest and most obvious horror cliches strung together by comically incoherent dialogue and actions and reactions

bears repeating

so what?

Dr Morbius, I don't think you would like this either. I have only seen the first season and while I found it watchable and entertaining, it was also quite lacking in taste, intelligence, imagination, and sense. I can't remember any wit, dark or otherwise, and it even creepy IMO.
I kind of enjoyed it but sometimes I like things that are dumb and trashy.

Not even creepy, that's meant to say

OK, thx y'all. I guess i'll watch those last two Rob Zombie movies instead.

Yeah, def try to resist the urge to use my taste in horror as an anti-barometer this one time.

yeah The Lords of Salem is worth catching at least xp

I only use your taste in comedy as an anti-barometer, honeybunch.

The first season was the only passable one, IMO.

def enjoying this season

v good acting this ep particularly kathy bates w the doctor & denis ohare w the viking

the anachronistic music numbers by jess lange are p dope too imo

I've read about this show a bit but never seen it, because every time I think I know what it is about, I read something that goes completely contrary to my expectations, and makes me stop wanting to see it.

Considering that season 2 featured Nazis, aliens and demons...

I really hate that they threw aliens in there so carelessly. GORPLOK WAS NOT AMUSED

Considering that season 2 featured Nazis, aliens and demons...

Exactly! I thought it was some horror show, but then it sounded silly, or campy, or intentionally ridiculous, or just weird, or surreal, or funny, but never scary, so I had/have no idea. It'd be like a new police drama debuting, and then getting confused by people talking about all the singing clowns and Nazis.

yeah, somebody told me the whole thing was going to change. After this episode we tried to figure it out. Does the Polk family follow them to LA? Does somebody else move into the house? Then we saw the preview and it had the guy who bought the hotel from last season, so who knows.

so the weird cannibal people are actual roanoke descendants, or just carrying on the work?

neighbors just helping out I think?

I actually like this season. I mean, it's a stupid show for sure and a guilty pleasure, but I feel like this season has been nicely restrained compared to the last few, which were filled with crazy edits and so many references and characters it was hard to keep up with or care. I thought last night's Polk family was a nice little Texas Chainsaw bit.

ahs cult seems fun

yeah i always end up bailing on these fkn things & this one so far seems fkn weird & kinda dumb?

the trypophobia stuff is pretty lol tho

something about sarah paulson just bugs me & idk why

luv her
