I mean I guess it's possible? It doesn't matter. The whole place is haunted though and I guess the thing with Lee saying, If the place wasn't so pretty people wouldn't move here was a point but not a very good one in terms of whether there's a house or not, people will always build their McMansions and cum castles or whatever, so it doesn't really matter whether there's an actual building on the property on not... people build houses on land all the time, it's a thing they do. Blowing up the house doesn't 'solve' anything. It probably will piss off Mott even more though and he will be howling in the next McMansion built about what an abomination it is. The Chens will continue being assholes. The rest don't give a poo poo. Also, it's kinda lame how hillbilly the Polks were...I mean I get the whole stereotype thing but jesus loving christ dude. I've lived in LA, SF, Portland, Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Virginia, and sometimes go to the outer banks in NC... I've seen some hillbillies but even hillbillies have better digs now, dude. I'm not insulted 'culturally' so much as I am annoyed...not that I am watching this for any kind of realism or anything but good god, really, would have been cool it have been if the Polks in the reality show were shown as such disturbing primitive hillbillies but then the 'real' Polks were like all about having cable and running water and a sweet set of loveseats and gaming systems, just like modern regular hillbillies watching HGTV and Mama Polk is wearing something from the Laura Ashley collection and having some doll fetish or something. The civil war flag is framed neatly and respectfully at the entrance or some poo poo. They have a koi pond or something, I don't loving know. I dunno. I think it would've been kind of great in contrast to show how Sidney's interpretation of the Polks was completely off the wall nuts (to echo Ryan Murphy's) and they decided to sue him or something. Alright, getting too up my own rear end here, I just think, I've seen levels of this kind of insanity before in this show, why not now, it would've been kind of awesome.

LadyPictureShow posted:If anything, I wish they would've spent more time on the g-g-g-ghosts! Some of them looked really cool; I remember that brief shot they did of burned Mason in (I think) ep 6. Shoulda been a 13 ep season and the last three eps are just the ghosts horsin' around with each other, Mott-ghost getting more and more pissed off every time new ghosts are added. Got Ambrose staring off into the middle distance while a seventies era ghost yammers on about how no band will EVER be as good as Earth, Wind and Fire'. AHS always goes off the rails with divergent plot points that never get resolved or just bloat the story. I would have liked if none of the other residents of the Roanoke house stayed around after they were murdered and just the colonial ghosts exist. The whole Polk kidnapping plotline could have been cooler if the real Butcher kidnapped them instead and did the identical thing with skinning and butchering them. Maybe make some rule that ghosts can be killed permanently during the blood moon or something. Hell I bet the ghost residents weren't even going to be included without the Chen family. Ryan Murphy wanted some creepy wall climbing ghosts and boom, there's four additional ghost resident groups to include and build story and airtime around.

Like I said, it's those little things they actively choose to mention that make everything screwy, when they could just as easily say something else and make it make sense. Have Flora mention that Priscilla had the colony depose of Mason's body so her mom wouldn't get in trouble. Have the Polks come across Mason, who wasn't quite dead, and offer him to the colonists. Have a quick shot of Lee or Priscilla turning on the stove so the explosion makes sense. Have it be one of those old traps the crew set up that never got shown again. And then there's the big things that they do just to do them and don't think it through. And the sad part is, a lot of them are good ideas, but they don't tie them together in a meaningful way. Case in point, the heart ritual. Having Lee become the new Butcher is something I didn't see coming and actually would have made the story all the more tragic/creepy. But then she goes and shrugs it off and wakes up in the yard completely unscathed. Hindsight is 20/20 and these are all details they may very well could have thought about and were unable to do. But I think what really happens is Murphy has some ideas that he absolutely must make happen, and the story has to bend to that. I'm sure he had The Lana Winters Special planned from the start, and he needed somebody to get interviewed. And I'm sure it was always really all about Flora for the ending, despite her being so unimportant as a character.

esperterra posted:Yeah, it's kind of his thing. I never followed Nip/Tuck so I don't know how far it stretches back, but every summer between seasons of Glee was somewhat affectionately known as 'Ryan Murphy's Summer of Lies'. The man has a habit of telling the press and fans what seems to be every single idea he has for a show, or actors he wants in a show, then maybe one or two of those actually make it in. So what you're saying is he's the Peter Molyneux of TV?

Yeah, I can jive with that comparison for sure. I feel like people are overthinking TV too much. I know this is TVIV and all, but not every little thing needs to be explained. Though with that said I have a theory: Mason being all strung up like that could have been an embellishment. Maybe Matt and Shelby knew Lee killed Mason, and helped her cover it because poo poo was crazy enough already. Maybe they just told Sidney they found his body in the woods and he jazzed it up for the reenactment. Really though, who cares. Especially when it's the only big plothole type thing in the season, really, which is great considering this is AHS. I hope that if nothing else, Murphy sticks to a ten episode season again next year. It really helped. e: i just remembered the cops having a rare moment of being involved was totes with mason's death wasn't it, so likely not played up for tv esperterra fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Nov 18, 2016 |

Nip/Tuck is amazing if only for the sheer amount of bizarre characters and situations. Like the doctor they hire who loves loving furniture and the lovely son who becomes a mime/criminal

Was the serial killer transgender? I thought the Transgender person who ended up trying to steal the straight laced doctor's son from him was separate from either of the two serial killers that stalked the 2 docs throughout the series.

There was plenty of crazy after that. Victorkm posted:Was the serial killer transgender?

Yeah, the serial killer was transgender. Famke Janssen played an entirely different transsexual. There were a lot of transsexuals on Nip/Tuck. edit: nvrmind. The post above got it right about the killer. But there still was the separate transsexual.

a shameful boehner posted:Uh, how was there an active gas line to the house and how did the ignition happen Would have to be propane, but not unlikely. I'm glad some people enjoyed this season although it surprises me as I feel like it was a novel idea that needed more time in the oven. I never identified or connected with any character, especially the "actors". And Paulson's cartoony accent made it feel like the whole thing was an elaborate hoax so I was never sure which deaths were real. The finale felt tacked on, it would have been better to not air it. So whatever, I won't be watching any more seasons until after they air and I get a sense of whether they are good.

I assumed the british/scottish kid with the horrible accent was making fun of the Sarah Paulson accent. I really like the different shows in the finale and the fact that the final few minutes of Lee and Flora were the only part of the whole season that were "professionally" filmed. I agree with a lot of the criticism that there were a lot of ideas that never got to see completion but for me this was a really fun season (minus the torture parts) and I am so glad they did something completely different than any of the previous seasons. That said I can understand why a lot of people who have watched all of the other seasons didn't like this one. I stopped watching early to midway through every season except the first one and only kept watching the beginnings of new seasons because I have so much love for season 1: Murder House.

I overall enjoyed this season but I feel there were a lot of things left hanging. I seem to be the only one upset that Lee's first daughter was never brought up again. The woman had a child go missing years before all this other poo poo happened and no one brought it up? I also wish they would have explained how she went from bashing Mason's head in with a rock to burning him. Also, Ryan Murphy kept hinting that Matt and Shelby were liars. But, no obvious instances of them being liars seemed to be brought up.

Well, I decided to watch the first season again, and goddamn I forgot how good it was. I mean I still prefer season 2, but Murder House is pretty loving awesome. I haven't watched it in at least 2 years I think. At some point I will watch Hotel again too.

Woulda been cool if the Polks were actually really nice and were just desperate to get their kids back. Also maybe make it that Shelby and Matt ran and left the real Lee's daughter in the house during the blood moon and that was the reason that they lived. Lee's daughter was protected by the Roanoke kid, bob's your uncle, there you go. The season definitely fell victim to too many plots and should have nixed pretty much everything about the previous tenants besides the backstory exposition episode. They even had the Roanoke set to use!

This season had a lot of the same problems the whole series has had including a shaky plot and too many loving characters. But I thought the show-within-a-show concept worked for the most part. Maybe it was taken a bit too far in the end, but it held more water for me than the clumsy bullshit they pulled last season. The last episode was entertaining, but it went a little too far up its own rear end. But like I think someone else said, at least it was just a single bad episode and that's not enough to ruin a decent enough season for me.

They've been connecting the seasons explicitly since season four, why all the complaining now? The only one that bugs me personally is Coven being connected with the whole telling the world about witches thing.

Joking aside, a season centered in Washington, even around the White House, isn't the worst idea. There are various ghost stories and supernatural occurrences you could work with.

So let's do a checklist. Their theme settings have been freak show carnival, insane asylum, haunted house, haunted house surrounded by haunted land, haunted hotel, and New Orleans. What's next?
