Or every time she looks in a mirror she sees the dead head talking to her and it drives her insane.

It sounds like Jessica Lange is playing the same character yet again. Yes she plays her well, but it'd be nice to see something new.

Yeah, she's definitely typecast at this point as "crazy, morally-ambiguous older matron who smokes and drinks a lot".

(Cue pages of people talking about how different her character has been for every season of AHS)

I really liked Jude, but part of that might have been that it was something other than a half-assed Georgia accent.

I've loved Lange in every role on the show thus far, actually. She does what she does well. I wonder how the show will even go on without her next year, honestly- hopefully Murphy has something up his sleeve to keep her from actually leaving.

I have a feeling his greaser hair is going to be my favorite thing about this season. And I'm coming in with high hopes. He just looks that good.

e: I also have a feeling that since this is AHS, there will be some sort of weird sexual situation involving those hands and I am kinda dreading it.

I feel like this is a dumb question, but the Pepper in this season is confirmed to be the same Pepper from Asylum, yeah?


Which means that everything that happens in this season happens in an the same universe where Anne Frank escapes the Holocaust and also aliens should have fought the devil but didn't. :woop:

Same character, same actress. It may just be a case of recycling a fan favorite in a new setting. Freak Show is taking place a decade before Asylum.

The latest edition of Entertainment Weekly confirms that this is true.

Entertainment Weekly posted:

Perhaps the biggest surprise is the return of Pepper (Naomi Grossman), a fan favorite from Asylum who plays a show performer. It's the first time AHS has carried over a character from a previous season, which makes Freak Show something like a prequel (the events of Asylum take place 10 years later). "We thought about it long and hard, and we decided that it was interesting to do," says Murphy. "This is sort of like what happened to Pepper before she went to the asylum."

Every season of this show, the first half is great tv. Then when they reveal what is going on, it's never ever as great or as mysterious as you thought, or it's over explained to the point of it being silly like they think they need to tie everything up in a neat bow. I still plan on watching it.

I think in general they have a hard time creating a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

The beginning is strong, then the middle stretches too far until they're running out of episodes and need to hurry up to some kind of end.

Nothing spoilery, as far as I can tell.

I used to work at a restaurant in college with a lobster boy, about 20 years ago. I will still never figure out how in the hell he carried all those plates (we weren't allowed to use trays), with just big pincers. They were incredibly strong, though. Once, he pinched me on the arm and I don't bruise easily but I was black and blue for a week.

He was also incredibly gay, but refused to admit it to anyone. I don't know why, because if there's one thing having two fingers and a thumb is perfect for, it's butt fisting. I hope that's what they have Evan Peters be like, instead of the abusive drunk rear end in a top hat that the real lobster boy was.

Hmm most of the trailers are region blocked but I have seen a few. The caged one was pretty cool. I like the concept but the tone of the Voyeur trailer and the music in particular makes me a bit apprehensive after how terrible Coven was. Also I really wish Quinto would come back.
