At the end of season 5 I had decided that I was jaded with Ryan Murphy and this series, and while I would probably have watched it I didn't want to get too hyped up. But, for the first time since season 2, Ryan Murphy decided to keep silent and leave some mystery in the season's theme, which I approve totally and gives me hope.

Now, about this year's season we know:

This season has two themes and both concern children
The logo is a question mark blended with a 6
It is set mainly in two periods, in the present with flashbacks from the past
Photos taken from the set show a tree with the writing "CROATOAN" on the trunk and a farmhouse from the colonial era
Only one of the teasers they've released is true, the other are misdirections
Sarah Paulson's character will be a "Real. Live. Human."
We'll see further explanations of how the seasons are linked together
It will premiere on September the 14th
All the teasers released for now "quoted" a classic horror movie, with the exception of the one called "Wind Chimes".

These are all the teasers released until now:

I totally agree! Jessica Lange is American Horror Story. Its just not the same without her. Asylum is my favorite season as well. The characters and storyline to me were just so much more developed than what we have seen in other seasons and I actually liked how it ended.

The love of Asylum just baffles me- I thought that season was a hot mess. It was just all over the place: Serial Killers! Nazis! Zombies! Aliens! Demons! Evil Nuns! Mental Illness! Wrongful Detainment! Medical Experiments! Basically every horror topic was thrown at it, and it came across as totally absurd.

I'm approaching this new season with trepidation. While I LOVED Murder House and Coven, the rest of the seasons were pretty terrible. Asylum and Hotel had such great potential, but both fell flat. Hotel became so silly and Wes Bentley's acting was so terrible, I stopped watching it; and Asylum was so over the top and scattered that I never finished it, either. I never even tried to watch Freak Show because the theme was so distasteful to me. Let's hope this new season gets back some of that Murder House mojo.
I also think that Murder House is the best season so far, it was much more cohesive and it left the least amount of "pendant threads".
I loved Asylum for the theme but it ended up being a melting pot of storylines and those that I actually liked more never got the attention they deserved (especially the experiments). The final episodes had some beautiful moments, you may have missed out on some amazing Jessica Lange and Ian mcShane.
I liked Coven but I never loved it. It always bugged me that it should have been a magic academy and we never saw an actual lesson. It was more an exercise in style than anything else.
You should give a chance to Freakshow, for the first 4 episodes I thought it had the potential to surpass the first season, but then it ended up having too many storylines as well, but much worse than the other previous seasons. But I loved the finale for the faboulous Jessica Lange's bow out. It was sufficient just for these five episodes.
Hotel is my least favorite series. I really disliked Lady Gaga's role and acting, and Wes Bentley's serial killer was the worst shocking moment ever. Really, I think even my cat had seen it coming.

I've just seen. I'm still pretty speechless but I loved it, the "Murder House" parallel, the documetary style, Sarah Paulson/Lily Rabe, Angela Bassett and Cuba Gooding jr as protagonists, Kathy Bates doing a true antagonist, these are all things that set the bar very high for this season. I'll write more tomorrow when I'll have digested everything properly.

Nathan

Good first episode! Nice to see Angela Bassett have some dialogue that's not through clenched teeth. I've always been fascinated by the Roanoke story so this is intriguing. I liked the documentary style too - it seems appropriate with all the Netflix specials of late. Looking forward to next week.

SisterNightroad

09-16-2016, 04:40 PM

Now my thoughts are clearer.
The things that I like the most about this new series (for now) is that it heavily hints, both with the style and the plot, to the first season Murder House. The stripped down ambient, the tension, the dark atmosphere, the suspance rather than the gore, but also the couple that just lost a baby, the hunted house, the targeted wife... It could have been boring but I found that the mockumentary approach makes this similarities more interesting and lays the ground for eventual insights on season 1.

The Roanoke story that is recounted by Sarah Paulson/Billie Dean Howard in the 11th episode of Murder House gives us the incipit of all:
"It’s difficult to banish a spirit, but not impossible. The most successful attempt I know of happened when America was known as the new world.
In 1590, on the coast of what we now know as North Carolina, the entire colony of Roanoke—all 117 men, women, and children—died inexplicably. It became known as the ghost colony because the spirits remained. They haunted the native tribes living in the surrounding areas. Killing indiscriminately.
The elder knew he had to act. He cast a banishment curse. First he collected the personal belongings of all the dead colonists. Then they burned them. The ghosts appeared, summoned by their talismans. But before the spirits could cause them any more harm, the elder completed the curse that would banish the ghosts forever.
By uttering a single word. The same word found carved on a post at the abandoned colony. “Croatoan.”"

And also the pigheaded man we see made me think of "Piggy Man" from the the 6th episode of Murder House.
While the acting is superb like always, one of the few nitpicks that I have is the fact that the main couple isn't very interesting for now, but I particularly loved Angela Bassett, her character for now is the most well-rounded. However I appreciated that Sarah Paulson's character ran away, it's the first time in this series that a character doesn't do what is most expected to an horror movie character.
I also like Kathy Bates, this kind of evil, ominous character suits her better than those previously given to her, but I need to see more of her to know.

The closing scene was a bit strange to me, even if not necessarily in a bad way, but it reminded me of some 80s horror movie, maybe The Evil Dead or something by David Cronenberg.
As always, I miss Jessica Lange but in this series there isn't really a role for her, at least for now. If Ryan Murphy had set up the fifth season like this one, we wouldn't have lamented her departure so much.
I also miss a little the glorious theme titles but with this mockumentary style it works better without.

Now the things I ask myself: with this set-up it may look sure that the narrating protagonists are alive, but what if they are not? What if we discover, much like the first season again, that they are in fact tangible ghosts like those in the Murder House that are telling their stories?
And the redneck that wanted to buy the house and said that it was underpriced because of "hurricanes" knew more than they let it show and wanted to buy it for sinister reasons?

And about the promo for the next episode, I think I may have seen a glimpse of a dirty, frenzied Lady Gaga next to Kathy Bates during the ritual fragment:

I was finally able to watch the new episode over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Like SisterNightroad said, the stripped down style is totally refreshing after the past couple of seasons. I totally dig the true crime documentary style, too. Just for comparison sake, I rewatched a Hotel episode afterwards and was struck by just how style-over-substance Hotel is compared to this new episode.

Having lived half of my life in North Carolina, I'm also beyond thrilled this season is exploring the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, too. It's so eerie and haunting how the entire colony disappeared without a trace. It's one of history's greatest mysteries, and I'm so glad to see Hollywood tackling the subject. I'm so excited about this season I'm not even letting the blatant geography errors in the show bug me! :laugh:

Oh, Louie. Asylum was the best! :lol:

But seriously, it was, for me. Hotel was dreadul, and Coven was neither horror or even really that witchy. I haven't watched Freak Show yet. Season 1 was good, but I think the haunted house theme has been done better in the movies.

I am looking forward to season 6. Not sure when I'll watch it, though.

Asylum was the most cohesive IMHO. Really well done, good pacing, acting on point, well plotted.

Highlight of Coven was Stevie. :laugh: I love love love Jessica Lange though. All of her roles are great, but I think she was best in the first two seasons where she wasn't the protagonist and really had a chance to shine.

Truthfully you're not missing much with Freak Show. It was too much about cameos and atmosphere without much actual story. I'm also not a fan of all the seasons connecting. I'd much rather leave some things to the imagination. :distress:

I was able to watch the first three episodes. And then I cancelled our cable subscription and was unable to finish the season. I plan to watch it completely from the start again, eventually, but I'm just not much of a TV person in general. But I will - I remember that dang clown - the horror of that clown. :eek:

What did y'all think of Episode 2? "Murder" is the word they wrote? Hope it all comes full circle 'cause I wasn't into that personally.

I thought it was a'ight but not as good as Season 1.

SisterNightroad

09-24-2016, 04:08 PM

This second episode wasn't as good as the first but it wasn't as bad as a lot of people seem to think. The scares were there, and they were good scares. The plot is still pretty tight, something that didn't happen for the last 2 series.
Kathy Bates' character, "the butcher" is intriguing even if the cleaver is starting to be repetitive. I concede that some things were already seen. The MURDER concept was a bit strained, but it was very well acted and atmospheric so I didn't mind too much.
The acting of Cuba Gooding Jr was a pleasant surprise for me, I didn't know he is that capable since I'd just seen him on a couple of chick flicks.
I loved Denis O' Hare. And Did anyone else notice that the shelves of the shelter he lived in were exactly the same shown during the opening theme of Murder house?
And wasn't Lady Gaga the frenzied woman that was near Kathy Bates during the ritual? I like her more like this than the coat-hanger she was in Hotel.
Evan Peters was also credited in the episode but I didn't see him, did anyone catch him?

Brad Falchuck and Ryan Murphy said a few days ago on EW that from ep. 6 onward the season will be turned upside down and a lot of old characters will return, the Mott family over all.
I'm starting to believe that the documentary we are seeing could be in reality a recording left by the protagonists to warn the following owners of the house.

SisterNightroad

Nathan, I have just one thing to say both for Cricket and Prof. Elias: New fave=Instant kill. Seriously it's like watching Game of Thrones.

Finally I got the time and I actually remembered about the last new episodes. First of all, I really liked them.

I've seen some articles online this time around that had some interesting theories.
The first is that, since Ryan Murphy stated that this series will change drastically from episode 6, and we already know from some leaked pictures from the set that the 4th wall will be broken then, it could be that after the 6th episode we will finally have our opening theme.
The second is that every episode of this season until now had a connection with the AHS season with the corresponding number, and from the 6th episode the real 6th season will begin and its real theme will be revealed. Obviously the most obvious connections were the story of the couple moving to a new house to overcome a miscarriage in the 1st episode, the theme of abusive treatment by the nurses in the 2nd episode and the magic and paranormal theme brought by the psychic in the 3rd. But I had seen in episode 3 that there was a precise and "blink and you'll miss it" clue: Cricket the medium affirmed to have been arrived from New Orleans, the city of season 3, Coven. And in this last 4th episode the mysteriously disappeared constructor of the ancient house has been mentioned, Edward Philippe Mott, that has the same surname of Dandy Mott from season 4, Freak Show.
Now, this whole theory is a bit stretched, but I think that there surely have been more "blink and you'll miss it" clues like these ones during the other episodes, and they have a specific meaning to connect the seasons between themselves.

I like Thomasyn White's character. She's ruthless and she has charisma, actually much more than Lady Gaga's character, that I've discovered is named Scathach. But I have to say that this time her character is much more interesting, somewhat ethereal and she's doing a better job with it.
The voice of the interviewer that now has been heard twice isn't new to me but I'm not sure who it is, maybe it's Cheyenne Jackson as many seem to think.
I was seriously upset by those retarded kids, where do they come from? And the Polks that were masturbating before Lady Gaga that was practically raping Cuba Gooding Jr.(another really upsetting scene)?

I've seen from the date shown on the PC of Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character that this season is set in 2014, so it's interesting to note that it is simultaneous with Coven. Another interesting thing to note is that the car driver of the medium Cricket is called Rhett Snow, maybe a relative of Myrtle Snow?
I really appreciated the Pigman's attack sequence, it was completely similar to how its legend was portrayed in Murder House.
I can't wait to see how the Dying Grass Moon events will end.

This show is almost nothing BUT upsetting scenes. I wonder why Iu watch sometimes. To me, the Gaga character is the most unsettling, there are some elements in the writing that really seem authentic sometimes.

It is nice to to see Gaga do something besides the melodrama she did in Hotel, don't you think?

Love your theories! Thanks. Looking forward to Wednesday. : )

I think Cuba Gooding Jr. et al killed Angela Basset's husband and stashed Flora in the cellar or out in the woods. Next episode blows the lid off by busting in on the real-life characters in real-time.

I stopped watching GOT after the first season because I was afraid it would end up eating my life.
And have you heard that Shelby, Matt & Co would go to LA waiting for her sister to find some money for them? Maybe it's a clue.
Seriously, I think that those of us that watch this show not because there's Lady Gaga but because we want to enjoy good, unexpected horror we do it because we want to be upset. It's like when we know there's been an accident and we don't want to look but can't look away.
For this reason this year Gaga is much better and funny thing, her character is truly based on a real mythological figure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sc%C3%A1thach

I think Cuba Gooding Jr. et al killed Angela Basset's husband and stashed Flora in the cellar or out in the woods. Next episode blows the lid off by busting in on the real-life characters in real-time.
I was talking about it with my best friend (who I dragged in this folly of show long ago), there are many possible things:
1) The actors where in the house and now something will happen to them (her theory)
2) The first part of the show was just an introduction and now the real show will be a macabre horrorific version of the Truman show in which they will all be forcefully sent back in the house with camera watching (also her theory with a bit of my details)
3) The show is a scam like all paranormal show. Now that the first part of the show where they recount the fake story of the Millers is over, the cast will move on to another story that unfortunately for them is real (my theory)
4) The story recounted is loosely inspired by another real story and we will follow the cast and will know the real trith of the events that was behind the show (also mine).

And even more, but these are my favourites. However I knw for sure that last week Ryan Murphy said that Lady Gaga's character is the first Supreme, so the Coven parallel awaits us. I can't wait for tomorrow.

In the end they did return to the house. It's not the most exciting twist but it's been well executed, I guess props to Angela Bassett for her direction of this episode.
Ryan Peters was truly hilarious, it makes me cry that indeed almost all of my peers are like his character.
Now thanks to Murphy we know two more things about the future episodes:
1) The Miller didn't tell all of the truth about their experience, so I guess we'll have another hopefully more juicy twist than this.
2) Taissa Farmiga will return in "the most adult and dark role" he has created for her.
This two facts really make me think that Taissa is the real Scathach and Matt doesn't tell the truth about his "involvement" with her. And we still don't know why he returned to the house. We know she wanted him, maybe he's the lone survivor.
I loved the way the "real" ghosts have been represented, they benefited from the passage from mockumentary to found footage style ; overall they truly feel more real. I liked the glimpse of Mason's burnt ghost, very creepy.
I also appreciated the little mention of Jessica Lange.
Interesting also the fact that while all the actors that have impersonated the Millers family claim to have not had problems during the film shooting in the house, they didn't truly come out if it unscathed, since everyone of them became the character they have played in some way: Angela Bassett became an alcoholic like Lee, Kathy Bates became the same with the Butcher, Sarah Paulson began a passionate love relationship like the one Shelby and Matt had while Cuba Gooding Jr... went from acting sex scenes with fake Shelby to having the real deal with true Shelby.
Maybe the reason why Shelby felt so alone and Matt had drifted away from after having participated in Roanoke Nightmare is a reapprochement with Scathach.

Well you got that last part right!

What was the reference to Jessica Lange? I must have missed that.

Also on last nights episode, I missed the last ten minutes. Who plays the real butcher? Is it still Kathy bates? I couldn't find that in any reviews.

Well, since he'd said they had "the most intimate contact" he ever had with anyone and that she told him to join her and he would have done it...
But I thought he was a bit lame.
What was the reference to Jessica Lange? I must have missed that.
Well
It was very subtle, when Kathy Bates's character said that in her opinion the two most important roles in American History were the Butcher and Mary Tyrone in A Long Day's journey Into the Night, because Jessica Lange abandoned the show to play Mary Tyrone in Ryan Murphy's broadway rendition of this same show.

Also on last nights episode, I missed the last ten minutes. Who plays the real butcher? Is it still Kathy bates? I couldn't find that in any reviews.
I'm not sure because it's not very obvious, at first I thought it could be Mare Winningham but probably it's a background actor like the nurse sisters:

I was finally able to catch up on the show over the weekend. Count me as less than thrilled with the reality tv show turn the show took. I was hoping for something deeper and more substantial. I seem to be the sole dissenter, though. All my friends LOVED the plot twist.

I also read an article today on how a future season will be a crossover of Coven and Murder House. Those are my two favorite seasons by far. I'm anxious to see what comes of this:

I finally stumbled upon the name of the Butcher's actress yesterday, it seems that she's a new entry by the name of Susan Berger and she previously played the aunt in Hannah Montana:

I was finally able to catch up on the show over the weekend. Count me as less than thrilled with the reality tv show turn the show took. I was hoping for something deeper and more substantial. I seem to be the sole dissenter, though. All my friends LOVED the plot twist.

I also read an article today on how a future season will be a crossover of Coven and Murder House. Those are my two favorite seasons by far. I'm anxious to see what comes of this:

Actually I'm not thrilled about the twist either since it wasn't so unpredictable but I enjoyed Angela Bassett's first attempt as a director so I let it slide. Murphy said that he did it because he wanted to do a sort of critique to the new reality show tv culture. He also said that there will be another twist on the last episode that will call into question again all the previous episodes. The last news are that Lana Winters will appear again, so maybe what we are seeing or will see is a report by Lana Winters for the lone survivor as an act of denunciation? This may be interesting. http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/american-horror-story-roanoke-asylum-crossover-sarah-paulson-1201904768/

The crossover news is interesting but before I had read that the next season will examine in depth some Freak Show characters.

On another note did you see Finn Wittrock as one of the Polks brothers? He's said to be the most dangerous, I can't wait to see.
Instead I discovered that Mama Polk is played by the same actress that in Asylum played the mother of the possessed boy.
I hope that Matt's enamored state with Scathach is at least partially caused by magic, it would be a waste to leave that storyline unused.
I'm starting to think that the lone survivor will escape thanks to one of the latest people that have died.

Thank you so much SNR! I should have checked i here sooner. I have thoroughly enjoyed your posts about this season. I can't seem to come across anyone else who's watching.

Yeah, I watched this on the FX website, where Kathy Bates meets the real butcher. Creepy as HELL. Even with Jessica Lange not around, I have to say I think this is their best season yet!
Yes, I enjoy talking about this seasons because it's the most interesting one since Asylum if I really have to be strict. It seems that the many fans who don't like this seasons are those who prefers Hotel and/or Coven. Coven at the time was an enjoyable change mind you, but it's not the best. Hotel is my least favourite.
However did you guys enjoy the backroung information about the famous Piggy man? The Polk son said it was his ancestor that transferred in Chicago to work as a butcher and then turned into a murderer because he became obsessed with the Butcher's. I searched back about the myth presented in the first season and it fits, he was said to be a butcher who transferred to Chicago for the Colombian Exposition and died in 1893 in a misterious accident. In my opinion this character will explored more in depth in future series.

I'm glad that Wes Bentley made his appearance in an almost ridiculous way, I want to see how the character he plays really is.

It was also interesting the little background information about the theets, about the Polks wearing necklaces made of theets as protection from the ghosts during the Blood moon. I didn't see if Angela Basset, Lee or Audrey have grabbed them, this could really help them. Also it's interesting to note that human teeth are the only part that can't be eaten by pigs, it seems. Creepy...

I also appreciated the little homage to Hostel, the scene where Sarah Paulson/Audrey gets her teeth extracted.

Do you guys really think Lee's confession was real or was it just a bluff? Or maybe it could even be both, in a twisted way, like Mason was killed by the ghosts and she let them or even traded Mason's life with something else. I just think it's too simple.

In the promo for the next episode I think I catched a glimpse of Taissa Farmiga, you can see two excursionist and one is a girl with very long ash blonde hair. Seems something very "The Blair Witch Project"-like:

Who do you think will survive? For now I place my bet on Angela Bassett.

A few considerations about the last episode before I forget before seeing the finale:

What about the real Flora? Why had we never seen her? And how did Mason really die?
We've seen Schatach can possess people, so she probably did that, but I want to know exactly what happened.

Again with Wes Bentley's character: New Fave=Instant Kill

Was the confederate flag on the Polks' wall a clue?

Again the driver Rhett Snow. Self quoting or clue?
