That's a good point. I think if they don't completely abandon this storyline, it might undo a whole lot of poo poo actually. Might be pleasant to watch, even. One thing I am sort of shocked about is that there've been no bust-out-singing scenes this season. Maybe Gaga wanted to be all serioussssss or something, but we've pretty much had a musical scene every season, right? Except for Murder House. Of course, some of the scenes are straight up music videos themselves, especially in the first episode, so never mind. But I would've loved to see Liz do some kind of grand piano scene. Like in Being John Malkovich. Malkoviiiiiich Malkoviiiiich....

What's hosed is the 10Com Killer offing migrant workers for the "remember the Sabbath day" commandment when all the other murders were of people who made a choice and had some measure of "power over". Migrants are bottom rung labor and really have no choice when it's work when told to work or get fired.... also stuff from the New Testament about gleaning on the Sabbath... but I'll stop sperging on theology.

I highly doubt that James March actually cared about sticking to any sort of hard "rules" when selecting his victims, and he certainly didn't care if anybody was actually breaking the commandments. He even told John that he basically picked that as his theme because it was a nice round number.

He also started off killing drifters and such until the Countess told him to make it count. So maybe he was still in the habit. Did he refer to her as the Countess when he was telling Ms Evers he wouldn't marry her? I don't remember seeing anything about how she picked up the title. Also that scene made me sad for Ms Evers and annoyed at March for the first time all season. He could have been nicer about it

I realize this show is full of loopholes, but in order for the whole not feeding=measles angle to work, wouldn't you have to assume that NONE of the kids got vaccinated? None of the other vampires seem very worried about measles laying around, but it affects the kids? Or maybe I'm just missing how exactly this plot point lines up. Oh well, it's still an enjoyable watch for me, and much MUCH better than Freak Show. Much.

I'm assuming there's enough people not vaccinating against vampire measles that herd immunity is compromised.

I had the same thought myself about the measles angle - I mean it's not completely unlikely that all these kids didn't get vaccinated but it seems weird because how is it all of them aren't ? What happened to the ones who were? Don't really feel like thinking about it at all, so instead I will remain dazzled by the fabulousness of the cast. I do wonder what will ultimately happen to March and the ghosts - will Cortez be burned down or demolished? And then what. Hmmm. MadSparkle fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Dec 13, 2015 |

In the real world there are some schools in California with a very high proportion of unvaccinated students, it's a major problem right now.

What happened to the ones who were? Its like the flu. You need a new flu shot each year since it changes significantly year to year due to mutation and your vaccine only protects against specific strains. Its not a stretch for this new immortality/vampire strain to be different enough that a standard measles vaccine doesn't work. Plus herd immunity issues.

Eh, we were supposed to believe the kids would immediately and without question slaughter their school staff, drink their blood, and then do the same to all of their parents, so it doesn't matter. I guess that's just how it goes down in the O.C. We've been on the run, driving in the sun, looking out for number one.....

Just finished episodes 7. This season has been kicking rear end so far, especially compared to the last two seasons. Yeah, the show spins it's wheels and yeah, it still feels kinda plotless, but it's so much ore entertaining than the painful slog of freak show.

Thinking about another loophole today, and kind of a major one - what determines who gets trapped in the hotel as a ghost? The vague idea of "unfinished business" is what we've been told, but that would presumably apply to any number of people, including but not limited to, all of March's murders, the couple from the foursome, the Tinder guy with the beard, Tristan, Will, and any number of other victims the Countess might be responsible for within the hotel's walls. We know the Swedish girls, the fashionista, and the hipster couple are around (also that random schoolteacher who became a killer,) and the girls were simply wandering around until given a "purpose." But given how ghosts can interact with and even kill the living, you'd think more of them would try to do so. Specifically, what's stopping all these victims from making the life of The Countess a living hell? Sally got killed after all and roams the halls. Unless March is head ghost and found a way to subdue the others. Maybe this was explained better in season one and my memory escapes me.

But this is AHS. The only rule in this show is that Ryan Murphy has a type: tall, white, and brunette.... oh and make up poo poo as you go. "Unfinished business" was also imparted by an unreliable source. Actually, all the characters this season are unreliable to think of it.

It's pretty decent, pulpy soap opera that's lightly tinged with horror themes and blood so we're at least back on track with what season 1 promised. Season 2 was just such a vast improvement over the first that you can't help but compare every season to it and that's not really fair. This season's been almost as good as the first, and if it keeps up even this level of not-bad-ness then I'm fine. I'd prefer another Asylum but that probably won't happen again.

Prediction: Liz's son is happy to see him, accepting of his lifestyle, and is also gay. Liz, who is adamant she is not gay, is disgusted by this, leading to a blowup.

So ... John knows all about the blood virus, he knows Holden is infected, he knows Alex is too, he knows Alex lied to him and tried to drive him insane, he knows who the Countess is because Alex is under her employ, and he presumably knows the Countess kidnapped Holden triggering almost all of these events into motion. For a show that's so obsessed with sex, they really have no idea what a climax is, do they?

Hey look who's back. Three episodes left, what do we honestly have left? Alex finding out about Sally? Bleh. I mean, Iris and Liz actually sprucing up the hotel as their own would be fun I suppose. But barring that, you kill everybody, you make everybody a ghost, it means nothing really matters in the end. Every possible big reveal has been done with all the excitement of changing the linens.

Three out of five seasons so far have featured (and overused) ways to bring dead characters back to life (or 'life'). I think the aliens in Asylum kind of did it too, but at least that just happened once or twice if I'm remembering correctly. Hell, even Freak Show figured out it had no way to bring characters back, so they just waited until the last episode to kill literally everybody. And then they all showed up in the afterlife dream sequence anyway!
