American Horror Story: ? |OT| We know nothing about this season

It's best if you don't know anything about it. It's a roller coaster ride of wtf.

That's a lot of extra commercials though. People always complain about the amount of commercials that play during The Walking Dead, despite the fact that almost every episode ends up being around the same length as in previous seasons, yet no one's really mentioned it here. Perhaps most people don't notice because they just DVR it and skip the commercials?

I actually felt a little sick from that episode, that was fucking brutal.
I second this, you really, REALLY should go in blind. If you don't like the new format try to at least get through episode 6 because everything get turned on its head (but don't just skip to 6, there's a really tight focus this season so you need to watch it in order if you're gonna watch it at all). If you don't like it after that though my advice is to drop it.

I know you all hate me for my opinion, but I just watched the last episode and had some thoughts.
Overall, this is very possibly the worst season of TV I've ever watched.
- I liked the introduction of the college kids. They were a nice breath of fresh air at first. But they got really annoying near the end.
- Them bringing the cops into the fray was necessary/good.
- Every scene with British Sarah Paulson and the women made me wish I was deaf and blind.
- Seeing them die was great, just because I hated listening to them so much.
- The intestines part was pretty cool

I don't know why, but i fell really behind this season. I finally spent the last week catching up. This season has been amazing. So damned insane. The structure allowed them to just pile on the crazy without slowing down. It's been intense and never predictable. The last episode was just so damned over the top with the Cannibal Holocaust stuff. I honestly can't believe Ryan Murphy gets away with this stuff. Move over Hallie. Audrey Tindall is my AHS spirit animal now.

Didn't people complain that Hotel episodes were too long and filled with useless padding? I guess in response they went really far in the other direction.
I wish the Matt/Shelby/Lee storyline would've still been the focus of the second half of the season. I cared more about them than Angela Bassett's completely useless and almost non-existent character and annoying ass faux British Sarah Paulson.
They went to the Slasher genre- it's not one that lends itself to longform.

I'm very very very binterested in knowing what other TV shows you watch, that you would compare this to to call this "the worst".
Right but it still would've been cooler for Shelby and Matt to have survived longer. Like them finding that tape of Lee confessing to killing her baby daddy would've have had more impact than Audrey and whatever her name was.

The X-Files
Friends
Everybody Loves Raymond
Seinfeld
I also watch other sitcoms late at night, like King of Queens, Frasier, Rules of Engagement and Two and a Half Men.
Better Things is another one I watched this year, but it was pretty bland until the end. Still much better than AHS, in all honesty. Also, Aftermath, which a lot of people hate and isn't anything special. But I like the idea behind it and it's better than expected.

I don't remember that season.
I watched it when it first aired, years ago, and did so for a while. Then I stopped and got back into it a few years ago.
Better than last week's, but I'm pretty blah on the whole season at this point. Spoilers in case people didn't see the next episode preview:
And what was with that garbage day-for-night filter they did for a that one scene?
"It's getting dark soon!" Lol bitch, no it ain't.
I love that even when Sarah Paulson dies, she gets to live until the last episode on AHS.

This is in no way scary.
It is just horrifyingly brutal.
Ridiculously brutal. Very little in the way of tense drama or "horror".
I will give it credit for being unique in the documentary, actor, real life plot line. A bit confusing but interesting.
Just don't understand why they need to be so God damned brutal.

Where did the phone come from? I thought the army guy (from last season) told them that he was told not to bring his phone to the set? But they asked for a phone and started recording/zooming in at the Polks'.

They were all given phones without service.

The idea that this is the worst season of anything, even of this show, is so bizarre and disconnected from what I recognize as reality that I can't even process it.

Did you skip season 2 of The Walking Dead?

Maybe it's all been a sham. I'm sure they'll have some sort of twist.
Hopefully the final episode won't suck, and it'll go out strong. But I'll be happy when the credits roll either way.
ARE WE FINALLY MAKING BETS?
I'm betting Lee returns to the house to rule in the butcher's place.

I actually liked Season 2 and don't understand the hate. It was full of character development and was necessary. It was also good.
Definitely better than Season 3.

And why would I want them?
Shit man, not sure what's going on but FX has Jack Reacher on right now, and it ends at 8:30mst, then guardians of the galaxy is on after that. Doesn't this air in like 20 minutes?

Is that the other FX channel?

And why would I want them?
i don't think so. man this is the weirdest shit. it's saying it's coming on at 11:00pm for me, what the hell. time to call comcast.
edit: well shit, i guess it has always come on at 10:00pm MST. I've watched this season completely on demand. Wanted to see the finale as it aired with everyone else. bummer!
Wholeheartedly agree. It's been painful to watch but I'd constantly feel like I was too far in to stop. Also to see if it could possibly get worse than it was the week prior, and somehow would always manage to be.

Let's see where this goes. Last week didn't capture me until the end maybe. I think the season started off promising but once the first "twist" happened in episode 6 it started to unravel in many ways.
