angerbeet posted:I have no idea what you mean I'm wondering if their similarities may be a plot point? Like maybe in the Shining film, when the house, depending on your interpretation, Jack Torrance either had a look-alike in the past or a reincarnation in the future and the house led him back. Maybe the hotel does too. Ryan Murphy couldn't be that deep though, could he?

So far it seems The Ten Commandments Killer is being set up as the main baddie, though not a supernatural one. And what was up with that ghoulish guy that came out of the Swedish girls' mattress?

He's lucky he has the cast he has, and that the recurring actors with different roles is its thing. Makes it a little more watchable to me.

El Tortuga posted:Writer: And then the man comes out of the mattress and the Dutch girls scream, and- I swear the only reason I wasn't more annoyed by this (and people sound really annoyed by this) is I just got through watching Fear the Walking Dead, which picked LA as a setting and then did absolutely not a single thing with it. Not one. They didn't even have the budget for zombies so Los Angeles just got raptured and looked, of course, like Canada. So the fact that this actually used it's setting throughout the episode made me give the tiniest bit of mercy, I guess. Less mercy though for how predictable the whole vampire scene played out. It was obvious what they were going to do, to the point it just was a "get on with it already."

With no eyebrows (ok, they are there but you have to actually look for them) and huge rear end forehead she is not attractive. If they are going for the 'sexy vampire seductress' put some eyebrows on this woman.

Yeah that scene had zero impact for me because I willingly sat through every season of True Blood. Even though it'd be kind of predictable I guess, since Gaga's character is Countess Elizabeth I hope at some point she goes full Bathory in a bathtub full of blood. At least it'd be something that True Blood didn't do.

Set it in Minnesota in the 80's at a summer sleepaway camp. Pay homage to Friday the 13th obviously, maybe work in some Nightmare on Elm Street subplot material. Center the camp on a lake and make a lake monster, there's another subplot. I've always heard this urban legend about a psycho who puts razor blades in a water slide, that would be perfect too. Would this not be amazing?

Well, it was more of a shower because the victim was suspended above the bathtub and then sliced open.

That could be a neat season, I admit, but honestly it sounds better suited to being it's own contained show. Me? I'd like to see a season about a major company in the 80s with all the worst of 80s corporate behavior, except the company is revealed to be more and more ludicrously evil at it's core (and not just in the normal sense). I've always had soft spot for that kind of aesthetic, though. It definitely allows for a wide variety of hosed up characters and behaviors they get away with thanks to money.

I'm four or five episodes into Freak Show right now and it's just bland. There's no real drive or plot so far. Murderhouse had the hosed up house full of ghosts and the family falling apart. Asylum had aliens, demons,nazis and a serial killer, sure that's a lot of moving parts but it was interesting and things happened. Coven while it kind of tanked at the end at least had the whole "Who will be the next supreme?" going through the whole season. This one just seems to be episode after episode of character building with nothing happening.

Quite liked episode one of hotel. That vampire sex scene was one of the best things in the show to date. Also like the set-up of there being one moral character in the show - I hope he stays that way. The last two seasons kind of faltered by having no one you could actually side with/like enough.

Yeah part of what had me so invested in Season 2 was that we had Lana as a recognizable protagonist in a horrible situation and we rooted for her, and in the end she gets what she wants after going through hell.

Yeah 3 and 4 shifted away from having main characters who were getting spooked and into being just about the supernatural/crazy/etc characters who should be doing the spooking. I imagibe Hotel will focus mainly on them as well but having the detective and his little family side story may help ground it some.

Kit too. The first couple episodes set him and Lana up as sympathetic, wrongly imprisoned "forbidden love" characters. Then we have the opposite with Jude who becomes more sympathetic as we learn about her background and as she loses power and is locked up herself. Freak Show kiiiinda tried to do this with the whole "freaks are people too!" bits like the diner sit-in but that never really went anywhere.

It boggles my mind how much of a decline there was after season 2. Is there any real reason for this? I feel like the show has turned into tumblr pandering where I imagine each line being written to turn into a gif or some poo poo.

Most of Ryan Murphy's shows tend to do this and this really is the serious answer. For Nip/Tuck, it was lauded at first as a sexy, crazy different medical drama. So he amped up the crazy more and more, giving what the people want until they didn't want it anymore because it wasn't good. For Glee, they loved the original covers of music and it didn't hurt that sales of the music files in various forms and concert tickets sold like hotcakes, so he got more and more rights to popular songs and again, gave the people what they wanted until it was just too much and not enough substance. It seems he's doing it now with this.
