One of the extras Sidney said was coming to scare the cast, I think.


Look at AHS having a coherent story, explaining the weird teeth.

Forgot about Sidney saying that. Makes sense that the actor wouldn't show up until the day time.

Yeah, that was Wes Bentley, who's already appeared this season as the actor playing the Butcher's son in the reenactment.

I'm still holding out for Lee but if the rest of the TV cast is around hoo boy things are about to get bloody. I really was expecting the Polks to have been lead right to them but hey gotta keep those twists coming so we can write ourselves out of a corner

yeah looking at that confession the chances of lee's survival has significantly decreased since her story arc has come to a full circle (she confessed the murder and they got that The Jinx moment) and especially with the introduction of that new cast member (who somehow managed to come all the way to the house without meeting the producers???)

at this rate i hope they don't kill off every single person in ep 6 and then introduce a new character nobody gives a poo poo about in ep 9 and just go "lol he's the survivor who witnessed the final murders!" because ugggghhhh yep that's the AHS i know and love

Anyone else think Lee was still lying? "I killed daddy. That's on me, and me alone. No one else helped me. It's nobody's fault except mine." No one else was suspected of killing Mason. Though in the reenactment they make the point that she couldn't bind him like that by herself.

I wonder if Matt is the one who really killed Mason? At the moment she confesses she thinks she is going to die, but Matt is still fine. Now that Matt is dead, there is no need to cover for him anymore.

Yeah, some of her story seemed like 'I'm about to die, might as well spare Flora the idea her dad was killed by evil ghosts'. The only death I thought was poorly done was Dominic's; just getting shoved out of the room to get cleaved by the piggy man because they think he's lying on the merit of 'I played Shelby for six months!'

The only thing I'm not so hot on with this season is that with its setup, you don't really get a great 'feel' for the characters. Split between the reenactment and this sort of 'found footage' shooting, its both kinda cool and a little annoying that some of the characters don't really feel too fleshed out before they get offed. They could all be crazy liars for all we know.

But the most glaring plot point is the very end; they've been getting chased and tortured and tormented by ghosts, the producer is dead, and yet Wes Bentley (Dylan, I think they said?) just walks right up to the house in a piggy man suit.

E: On that front, does anyone else have a problem taking a villain with a name like 'Piggy Man' seriously?

I get that Lee wants to go back to the hillbilly hellhole but why is British Shelby so easily convinced? Lee's explanation that people would edit the video to show her killing an innocent old woman is weak as gently caress.

Also I'm kinda disappointed they devoted so much time to the hillbillys when the Butcher was the main plot point for most of the show.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
It wasn't that people would edit it so that it's her killing an old woman. It's the fact her FANS would see her killing an old woman, and that's all they would ever associate with her. In the episode she records what might be her dying words and all she has to say is how she is disappointed she can't giver her fans more. It's what she cares about the most.

What GonSmithe said, but also I guess because Lee said she was going to go there and hotwire a truck. There doesn't seem to be any other vehicles around, or people who know how to hotwire them for that matter, so that's probably British Shelby's best bet right now. I agreed that it was a weak motivation until Lee mentioned that was her plan specifically. But of course we know she's mostly interested in getting her hands on that tape.

Surprised she didn't just start burping uncontrollably when Shelby asked her why she wanted to go back

Enjoyed the episode, next week's preview looked insane and confusing. I was thinking that depending on who our Final Girl is that everything was being faked The Game style, but now that everyone has sustained legitimate life threatening injuries I think that idea is off the table for the twist.

Lee might also want to go back because there's a shitload more Oxy at the Polk place.

Is Monet still in one piece? I know she was hiding/hauling rear end from the hillbillies, but I just recall her running out of frame when they spotted her in the woods.

That just leaves Lee ( chopped up), actress Shelby (leg injury) and Wes Bently with a bump on the head. I kinda figured those three women would be our final choices, but now that they've revealed some of the extras have actually made it there all bets might be off.

I just hope the big twist doesn't end up being 'psychological torment to get Lee to admit her hand in killing Mason but it all went too far/there really were ghosts oh the hubris!'

E: Aside from 'my fans can't see the tape!' I figured actress Shelby's partial motivation was safety in numbers. Sure, great if Lee can hotwire a truck, but she's all sorts of messed up, but even so she seems like the more able fighter. Two dinged up ladies together probably seem like they'd stand a much better chance than 'you go out there, I'll lock the door and wait here'

I want to believe in the whole "safety in numbers," but you're forgetting that British Shelby was willing to go upstairs alone (after escaping the Hillbillies) and leave Lee behind just to get her oxycocet.

She didn't exactly know there were a parade of ghosts all over the place chasing Dominic and Shelby earlier in the episode, and leaving Lee's side for 5 minutes while she runs upstairs and back isn't the same as sitting around the house and waiting for Lee to hobble her rear end back to the Polks, hotwire a car, hopefully not get caught by the remaining Polks in the process, and hopefully drive back to pick her up instead of peeling out and leaving her in the dust.

What xeria said. Running upstairs for the pain pills, I viewed that more as in 'you're too hosed to try and hobble up these stairs, I'll be right back'

How far is it to town? Something like 10 miles? Just walk the gently caress out. They've got what, 8 or 10 hours until moonrise? Just walk the gently caress out. Even Lee should be able to manage 2 miles an hour with a walking stick.

It's still dangerous to walk. Things get real bad while the moon is out, but stuff has happened during daylight, too. Also, the two Polk boys are still out there. The property is pretty big, and the ghosts are supposed to have dominion over the all the land, not just the house.

What are the other choices though? Go to the Polk farm and hope they can steal a car. Or hide in the house and wait for the ghosts to come back.

They aren't even considering walking to town. Probably because they are from LA, I hear nobody walks there.

Sidney admitted in episode 6 that he was hoping getting Lee on the show could pressure her into admitting to killing Mason. Based on how crazy he acted about ignoring problems and dangers to get the show on the air, he seemed to have a downright obsessive stake in the show.

Season 1 is the only one I liked until this season but it seems a lot of the people in this thread thought season 2 was the best.

I loved Jessica Lang and her daughter in season 1 and the whole family + Tate but my one criticism would be it went too long.

I agree, I think it's hilariously over the top, and I would not be surprised one bit if it turns out to be a fake accent. Bonus points if in a panicked moment she drops it and her "true" accent is revealed, and ends up being something like a South London accent.

Season 2 is the only season (almost) everyone agrees is better than season 1. It's a totally different style of story too, without the family drama.

That would be funny as hell but I can't imagine a circumstance that would upset her more than anything that's already happened.
