Pissed the DVR cut off right before Farmiga was about to ride the dude in the hospital. Did I miss anything other than him dying?

Did you see the part where Jessie Lange took the girls to the house where Kathy Bates' character lived, and they were taken on a tour?

Yes.

Did you see Jessica Lange dig up Kathy Bates body? If you saw that part, you didn't miss anything.

 
Not sure I am going to stay in it this season. I liked the first season and got lost in season 2 and stopped watching it. This one seems like it should hold together better than last season, but after just two shows it feels like we already have too many characters/story lines. I think that is what I couldn't stand last season. I don't care about realism or suspending my beliefs, but when you have aliens, human experiments, drunk nuns with hit and run murders, serial killers and demons, I just lost interest. Only 2 weeks and we have a frankenstein, police investigations, immortal voodoo priestess, witches that can't die, pharmaceutical trials, witch that wants to get pregnant, gang rapes, immortal old lady with no powers, teenage witches and a minotaur. That is in 80 minutes of TV. I am starting to think I will stop watching soon.

I think it would have been far better to just center on the young witch and every one else provides side stories, similar to how season 1 was basically all about the family and the house. Lots of other characters, but they were basically all from one story line about what happens at the house.

Kathy Bates character, Madame LaLaurie, isn't that old. I don't know if you know this or not, but Madame LaLaurie existed in real life. Her name was Marie Delphine LaLaurie, and she was most commonly known as Madame LaLaurie. She was a New Orleans socialite, and she was also a serial killer. Her upper floor in her house was a torture chamber for slaves. It really happened. I think it's cool that AHS is weaving parts of history into the story this season. Anyway, I think the first two episodes were great. I look forward to more.

Meh Im not getting the same thing you are. Those things are all related.

For example, the police investigation was based on the deaths of a bunch of frat brothers who gang raped a teenage witch who then proceeded to create a frankenstein out of one of them.

Another example, there is no witch that cannot die. The Supreme witch wants to become immortal and was funding pharmaceutical trials but when that didn't work she dug up the immortal old lady with no powers who was cursed by the voodoo priestess because she killed her husband thus turning him into a minotaur somehow.

 
I like it. This season has started tighter than last, but looser than season one. The creators have also acknowledged (or realized) a sense of humor. I have a feeling they're gonna veer wildly over the line from campiness and back. But the leads are selling it 100% - Lange, Bassett, and Bates are chewing it right the hell up. So are the younger actresses. The only one who seems a little lost at this point is Paulson's character and, given how good an actress she is, I suspect that's due to the writers.

I like it. If I had one complaint it would be that it doesn't seem quite as scary/creepy as the first two seasons to me.

The Asylum really creeped me out in season two. Lange rocks! :headbang:

 
Just watched the first two episodes. Tarissa Farminga is a great actress. Despite being surrounded by an all star cast, she still manages to steal scenes. God knows where this season will go, but the slave stuff kind of made me uncomfortable (which is difficult to do).

 
Watched Ep 2 last night. The scene where Lange dressed down the 2 young witches was phenomenal. Just like in Season 2, I was blown away by her acting talent. That one scene alone wouldn't be enough if it weren't for the other 2 seasons to compare it to. I found myself comparing that scene to similar outbursts of anger in the first two seasons and am just really impressed once again that she sounds like a totally different person. I think she's brilliant.

Angela Bassett's character was also a real life person.

Maybe true, I'm in for a bit, but getting worried that it is going to be too busy like last season. The pace of the first show was a lot more about discovering what was going on, but last season was just all over the place and I stopped watching because it wasn't interesting. This season seems like it is going there as well. There is no mystery, we already know the voodoo priestess and that the undying witch didn't die at all.

I agree with this, so far Lange is the only thing I like and the past scenes of Kathey Bates' character.

 
I loved the first season. Found it very original. Haven't seen Asylum... but am not really impressed with this new season.

Yeah this episode was a bit out there. Seems like the writers tend to enjoy pushing the envelope with sex.

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk liked to push the envelope with Nip/Tuck too. They don't do it with Glee, but they do like to push issues on Glee.

They definitely pushed it this episode indeed. Still pissed about Emma.
Click to expand...
its a show about witches. not sure shes truly dead

I think we'll be seeing more of Emma.

Absolutely.

Misty Day (Rabe) will regenerate Madison Montgomery (Roberts). None to happy with Fiona (Lange), this should form the main conflict for the rest of the season.
 
Pretty damn good episode last night! Spalding the Butler is a bit creepy (same guy that played the burned guy in season one)

 
pretty obvious all along that Farmiga is the "chosen one", but nice to see some evidence of that.

what was Jessica Lange doing before this show started a couple years? she is pretty nails as an actress.
