Poland Spring posted:Haha right? 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. Yeah that was what I was hoping for, like everybody else would be terrible but the Polks would just be this local family that was trying to keep their distance from the hosed up people but inevitably ended up having to save everyones rear end.

esperterra posted:Yeah, I can jive with that comparison for sure. I don't consider it overanalyzing to point out the big, glaring inconsistency never getting brought up again. All it would have taken was one or two throwaway lines explaining that it was a TV embellishment, but they couldn't even manage that. Maybe they were afraid it would take time away from shoving a stake up Taissa Farmiga's butt.

Mob posted:No offense but if you list of a bunch of major metropolitan cities you've lived in then you have no idea how realistic the Polk family was. And yeah I saw you snuck Virginia and NC in there at the end but you're really just clueless about this, sorry. You think they were realistic?

I mean yeah there's some inbred as gently caress people out there and I guarantee you a good chunk of people who live off the grid probably grow some sort of drug, but I doubt cannibalism is that present in those communities

I started this season not liking it, I thought the reality show format was interesting but ultimately unsatisfying when combined with a storyline I just could not get into. I also did not like Hotel. Around halfway through though? I started to really enjoy it, and while the story kind of tampered off for me by the middle of the ending only to save itself at the last moment, the use of different "found footage" style sources was pretty well done in my opinion. Lana Winters, while being part of the trend to call-back to earlier seasons that I dislike, was well used by being used sparingly- comparing it to the callback to Coven (my least favorite season) makes the chronologically former one seem laughable. My biggest fear moving forward is that we are going to see more incorporation of the shared universe, and following the result of eight million hours of footage about the house, have stories set in a universe where disbelief in the supernatural is akin to climate change denial. This could be really well done, and if I'm wrong I'll be thrilled, but one dangerous consequence is the isolation of protagonists following the disbelief of their concerns is gone. EDIT: Freakshow is still tied with Asylum as my favorite season, but a lot of that has to do with Evan Peter's performance in Freakshow and my ability to forgive last minute clunky plots involving Neil Patrick Harris (who I just can't bring myself to not dislike).

The pinhead episode of Freakshow was the best callback the series will probably ever have, unless stuff gets really crazy in inevitable final season.

They should rip off Dark Tower if they know they're hitting a final season and just throw all this poo poo at the wall, have 3 characters played by the same actor fighting each other, the loving works

ex post facho posted:I thought Coven was a lot better than Roanoke  Unless you liked Coven for how what-the-gently caress awful it was and how every episode added 50 new plot holes and nothing made any loving sense at all. It was some good hate-watching, up there with Heroes 3rd season and Dexter. But it was loving terrrrrrible.

I wonder if it'll be a Dead Zone kind of thing? Honestly, I might have to finally take a pass this time. I really loved Roanoke after the last few crappy seasons, but even if S7 is out of this world, I'm so exhausted from this past election and all the insanity of the last month.... I just don't want any more of it. If he can make the Kathy Bates thing happen though, I might change my mind.

But yeah, I know what you mean, and I'm not sure this is a good idea either. This sort of thing is best done from a far future, no longer in immediate danger perspective.

The only way for this to work is if they handle the election thing with a mix of Lovecraft and conspiracy horror, both of which they really haven't covered in the show before. Otherwise it's just going to be some tepid  bullshit.

So Billie Lourd and Billy Eichner are confirmed to appear in Season 7. I'm stoked. I was worried I wouldn't see Lourd after Scream Queens.

quote:The first 10 minutes of the season, this season, takes place in a very eerie macabre way on election night and there's something terrible that happens in the lives of our characters on election night as they're watching it all go down. Which in itself was a horror story, so it's like a horror story upon a horror story. *inception horn*

Is season 3 any good? I remember watching it when it was airing but I dropped it after a few episodes since the characters were not interesting to me nor the setting. I finally finished Asylum and I am glad I went back to it because its pretty good. The ending isn't as good nor scary but the first half definitely has this unsettling tone and has few scary moments. Kinda gets boring because two characters who were really interesting die. Also the present/past storyline didn't do anything for me. The entire aliens subplot/story felt like an afterthought none of it was explained. I know there is always a bunch of different subplots in AHS but the aliens part was just bad and the alien scenes were super cheesy.
