American Horror Story: Freakshow
I KNOW there must be some fans of the show here, I thought Stevie's participation on last year's Coven installment would have affected a lot of FM fans, I want to know how many are on this forum.
I'm curious about what others think about Freakshow, was it better than Coven (YES), what do you like about this year, what could have been better after much anticipation, what are your hopes and desires for the show, what's your favourite season, etc. I think that Freakshow is AMAZING and an improvement compared to Coven, because even if Coven had an awesome start and amazing ideas it has never been fully developed. Also because of the last year delusion, I lived the waiting of Freakshow with much anticipation and it's living well to its expectation. I really like the idea of the freakshow and the theme of the social definition of normal/abnormal. As always, I LOVE Jessica Lange and I already miss her, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the character of Twisty. The only thing that bugs me is that amazing actresses Frances Conroy, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates with their respective roles haven't been commended like they should so far, but I think that they will be in the near future. I can't wait for the entry of the character of Gabourey Sidibe along with the participation of Matt Boomer, Neil Patrick Harris and Lily Rabe. I hope that Pepper's coming back and the explanation of her story will be well played, and I hope that we will know something more about Sister Mary Eunice as well in the episode in which Lily Rabe will come back; I also hope that we will know more about Dandy and the origins of his sociopathic behaviour. My favourite seasons in order are: 1) Murder House 2) Freakshow (for now) 3) Asylum 4) Coven and last: |

I haven't had an opportunity to watch any of "Freakshow" just yet...but I am greatly looking forward to it!
"Murder House" is still the best. "Coven" is a close second for me. There was just too much going on with "Asylum" (aliens, possession, zombie mutants, etc) and it was a bit too overwhelmingly ridiculous, IMHO. |

Asylum is generally considered the best among fans and critics but I agree with you, there were too much sub-plots and plot twist for my taste and I think that aliens deserve a season of their own. I really loved Bloodyface though, I think that it's been the scariest villain since Twisty the clown. Coven had beautiful storylines but it bit off more than it could chew, and it left me a bit disappointed Last edited by SisterNightroad; 11-03-2014 at 05:03 PM.. |

And I must say that Lily Rabe is an EXCELLENT actress and I've enjoyed her in every season thus far. I hope her career takes her to great heights like her mom. The gal can do no wrong! |

Stevie lip-synching "Seven wonders" wasn't so good, I think it would have sound better if she'd have sung it casually to herself roaming through the house, but it was fun. I love Lily Rabe too, I fell in love with the Character of Nora because of the way she can light up the screen even when supposed to be fickle. I hope she will be back for the fifth season. |

Freakshow is so good. Truly a horror story!

Murder House will probably always be my favorite. It unfolded beautifully, and kept you guessing until the end. Classic, classic horror. I don't care what anyone thinks- I adored Coven, too. So what if it was a bit hokey? It combined several of my favorite things into one cinematically gorgeous package: witches, New Orleans, voodoo, Stevie Nicks, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Lange. And to be honest, I enjoyed the lighter mood compared to the endless drear of Asylum. Speaking of Asylum, I thought it was unwatchable. I tried really hard, but could only force myself to get about halfway through the season. It was all shock & awe gore. Too many themes hyperactively bouncing off each other- Aliens! Zombies! Mass murderers! Nazis! Sexual sadists! Religion & healthcare gone bad! Possession! It was all just too much.

A freakshow isn't a circus, they often travel together but circus performers are usually normal people with special abilities like a strongman, a sword swallower, a fire-eater, a contorsionist etc. that use it to entertain people, while freaks are usually people with physical malformations or illnesses like dwarves, siamese twins, hermaphrodites, severely obese people etc. and their deformities is the main entertainment. I know Ryan Murphy got inspiration from "Freaks" by Tod Browning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freaks Last edited by SisterNightroad; 11-04-2014 at 03:44 PM.. |

I have a love-hate relationship with AHS. It pisses me off sooooo bad but I continue to watch Murder House was my favorite season. I hated Asylum. Coven had so much potential but it just fizzled out in the end. Freak Show is pretty good so far, although my favorite character is already gone

No, Twisty is dead but his character isn't gone yet: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/10/31/ry...ory-connected/
Twisty’s death was a surprise. Was this always planned, to kill him so early? Yes. But Twisty is not over, and neither is Edward Mordrake. They both make triumphant returns. I was shocked to read so many of these “RIP Twisty” websites and blogs have sprung up. People love Twisty. I think that’s due to the power of John as an actor. I think he’s just so mesmerizing and sympathetic. We talked a lot about that. He didn’t just want to be a killer clown. He wanted an ideology and a backstory, and I think that clown’s backstory is so fascinating and bizarre. We’re talking on Halloween day and I’ve already seen three Twistys, so he apparently hit a nerve. I love him. I loved his performance. He will return.

So love AHS its one of my most favorite shows these days. I am enjoying this season so far but I have to say Asylum was my favorite. I really liked how dark and gruesome it was and I think Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe & Sarah Paulson were at their best in it.
I would rate them as follows: 1. - Asylum 2 - Coven 3 - Murder House 4 - Freakshow - it could move up by the end of the season. |
