Small Texas town that relies on a military/government facility that secretly houses aliens and genetic experiments based on the technology and anatomy of the aliens ...that is also haunted.

a military base or similar would allow them to do an "it only happens when we come back to base to eat and sleep and relax" atmosphere that could be really effective

I enjoyed this season, and I enjoyed 1 & 2 also. Are 3-5 worth watching? I heard Coven was horrible, I liked the 1st ep of Freak Show but didn't keep watching, and I've heard literally nothing about Hotel.

Season 6 started decent, at best, then it crashed and burned hard ... what a disaster of a finale. Nothing good since Asylum. I'm done with the show.

GobiasIndustries posted:I enjoyed this season, and I enjoyed 1 & 2 also. Are 3-5 worth watching? I heard Coven was horrible, I liked the 1st ep of Freak Show but didn't keep watching, and I've heard literally nothing about Hotel. Coven was terrible with exceptions of some really great moments and characters (not nearly enough to sustain a season, however). Freak Show was decent for the first few episodes and then became terrible, and dull. Both of those seasons suffered because of the usual 'Wtf is this dumb subplot here for, it adds nothing and takes up too much space' syndrome, I think. Hotel had the same dumb subplot thing (several actually) also but the difference is that the really strong characters were kind of able to hold it up because they were a bigger part of the story structure, while in Coven and Freak Show they were not. Evan Peters, Denis O'Hare, and Kathy Bates were positively glorious in Hotel and acted as support beams. Gaga was actually decent - I'll say the role suited her well. Mare Winningham was incredible. The rest of the cast ranged from good to eye-rollingly annoying but you could often ignore them because usually other interesting things were going on. Plus it was just a beautiful, stylized season. I've come to the official conclusion that dumb subplots that go nowhere are just a Ryan Murphy thing, and that a good, successful AHS season which manages to not be totally eclipsed by dumb subplots is usually due to an exceptionally strong cast. The only exception to this is the first season because in a lot of ways it's the most cohesive, coherent season, even if it's not considered as exciting and fever pitch batshit as Season 2. Season 1 is just stronger in its writing even though in many ways I still prefer Season 2 and consider it superior because it gives no fucks.

I'd say that Freak Show is worth watching if you have absolutely nothing better to watch, it has moments but like AHS at its worst it goes up its own rear end and never comes back. Hotel is definitely worth watching, it's basically Murder House but in a hotel... only not as good as Murder House. Don't even bother with Coven unless you like being simultaneously bored and angry at the stupidest poo poo you've ever seen. Personal rankings so far: Asylum > Murder House/Roanoke > Hotel >> Freak Show >>>>>>>>> Coven

Hotel was really bad and most likely the worst conceived season out of the bunch. It's really a waste of time. I wouldn't bother.

At least check out the Coven and Freak Show intros on Youtube, there's a reason everyone was bemoaning the lack of a proper title sequence this time around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmRXT7w2C1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm4AJaueiDY

Just finished catching up on the last episode of Roanoke. I can't tell you how happy I would have been if Mason's ghost offered to kill Lee at the end, since the little girl ghost was so scared about doing it.

I think liking Freak Show has to do with liking Lange. I find her "smug leader who knows everything" character she does in every single season to be absolutely insufferable, so Freak Show being her sendoff season and arguably built around giving her as much airtime to do random poo poo as possible was just terrible and it's far and away the worst season for me. I am forever glad she is gone from the show.

I heard Coven was horrible, I liked the 1st ep of Freak Show but didn't keep watching, and I've heard literally nothing about Hotel. You may notice in the last couple pages people saying season 6 was both one of the best and one of the worst seasons ever, so this seems like one of those shows people like for different reasons. And every season is very different with it's own strengths and weaknesses. If you like what you've seen so far, I'd suggest starting the other seasons. If at any point you stop enjoying a season, just stop watching right there because it's just going to be more of the same. Once the show starts getting on your nerves it is very unlikely to go back to being enjoyable. If you are curious either skip to the last episode to see the resolution, or just look up spoilers. For example the plot for Coven was a hot mess, a boring hot mess, but it did have some great visuals and moments. So if you are the sort of person who enjoys that esthetic you may enjoy it despite the plot being all over the place.

I am forever glad she is gone from the show. I love Jessica Lange, but by that point she had been cast for basically the same part for the fourth time in a row and while she does that part well, it was starting to grow old. One of the coolest things about Hotel was that it pulled several of the main cast members out of their "types", and it would have been exciting to see Lange get some new challenges as well. Evan Peters was also pretty stuck in the "brooding misunderstood love interest with dark side" until Hotel where I guess his acting direction consisted of a bag of cocaine and a funnel.

There's a few of them that have types. Taissa Farmiga's characters could actually be the same character if they didn't all end up dead. And as you said Evan Peters. The issue I find is that people always rave about Lange while complaining about the others lack of range and I just don't get it. Other than Asylum which I feel is the best version of that character, she's just been terribly obnoxious every other season.

If we're doing recommendations, I highly recommend little known British horror thriller Funland, about the (incredibly) seedy goings on behind the scenes at Blackpool. It's fun, super hosed up, but also really internally consistent, and has a great murder mystery. It's by some of the League Of Gentlemen -- the guys responsible for Inside No. 9, Psychoville and The League of Gentlemen -- and shares their similar sense of horrific eccentricity and really strong plotting. As a bonus, it's loving hilarious, if with an incredibly dark sense of humour. I loving love all their stuff.

I binge watched all ten episodes last week and thought it was easily the second best season after Asylum. Roanoke and Asylum were so much better than the other seasons that they may as well be a completely different show. Did it have good ratings? Is there a chance they could learn from the (hopefully) positive response to this season so we don't have incoherent, boring shows in the coming years.

This season is a trim 10 episodes because he noticed ratings fall off after thanksgiving -- which is true, but thanksgiving isn't the problem.

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. Because it's lightly connected, the assistants quip about not being able to get a salad because "it's the south. Everything's fried down here" and I'm like bitch please, no matter how rural you get you're going to at least be near a mickey D's salad or a subway. North Carolina isn't that bad.

Like instead of cannibalizing the professor they just ended up finding him like that and the entire story about them (minus the weed) was fabricated to make them look bad because they're an easy target for the police to blame and to excuse a murder. Hell that would have made this season AMAZING, ditch the whole head-up-your-rear end reality TV thing and just show the Real Story the second time around
