Just marathoned all of the episodes. The dialogue and acting by the main characters is really good for a show like this (much better overall than "The Walking Dead" IMO). I've always liked McDermott and Lange, and neither disappoint here. The other actors I'm not familiar with, but they do a fine job too (special props to Violet and Addie). Had to wiki Morris Chesnut, as I knew I'd seen him before but couldn't remember where (Boyz N The Hood).
Once you get past the "how stupid can people be?" aspect of this type of story, it's really well done. Much better than I expected. Looking forward to the rest, though I hope that they conclude this arc this season and start with (some) new charcters next season.

enjoying this show. think I have a handle on whether most people are alive or not. backstory on the gimp should be fun.
Wow, I need to pat myself on the back for this one. Pretty sure I was right on all counts. Don't forget the crazy mistress hadn't been killed yet. Even nailed that the kid was the neighbor's son. The only thing that I don't quite get was that when Tate scratched the girl who was being a jerk to violet they showed his face but also the crazy looking things face back and forth. I assume being ghosts allows Tate to work with what I assume is Dr. Frankenstein's kid.

Are you saying the Mistress wasn't dead yet when she disappeared from the Security guards Car Or maybe the Security guard and the
mistress are both dead, never left the premises, but thought they did..what about the scene on the beach.. Tate is dead.. People he killed are dead.. yet all are on the beach.. or maybe the daughter was just dreaming that whole sequence???

So, how can you "pat yourself on the back" when you seem to be incorrect, as ghost do seem to be able to appear outside the home area...

True. I should have interpreted the ghost rule handbook about murder houses and the one night of freedom on Halloween. So, let me rephrase that. Accounting for leap years, 1 night every 365.25 days, hmmm, that gets me to 99.72621492128679% correct on ghosts not being able to leave the house. Close enough.they can leave on HalloweenReally confused now.. you said..LOL, no, I was saying that I said she wasn't dead in my post, which was before she was really killed and is now a ghost.

Well, it doesn't seem like he knows he is dead so not remembering the killings seems to be the least of his issues..

The Columbine inspired scene was tough to watch. I laughed out loud at the piggy piggy guy, that looked ridiculous. Also, what is with pregnant women eating raw animal organs on tv shows now? The Khaleesi ate the whole horse heart and now we have brain with a fork and knife.

I thought it was a woman, one of the nursesWhos Constance? The neighbor? I think her only concern is that baby. I dont think shes trying to hurt or help the family. Also, first she tried to make the daughter sick with the cupcakes and then she brought in a medium so she may have grown to care for her

I thought it was a dude. I looked at a recap and they said it was Maria(Rosa Salazar) but she is not credited on IMDB as being in this episode. I will go back and watch.I thought it was a woman, one of the nursesWhos Constance? The neighbor? I think her only concern is that baby. I dont think shes trying to hurt or help the family.

In the murder house it was one of the girls that was murdered wearing a nurse outfit (episode 2?) that the intruders wanted to recreate.

My wife who just happened to be in the room had to leave. She said she didn't want anything ruining CamGuess there's not a lot of crossover between American Horror Story and Modern Family fans.Great to see Cam in another role.

her older sister (Vera Farmiga) has been good in several movies also (The Departed, Up in the Air, Source Code).I was kinda iffy on this show at first, but it's something I look forward to every week now.
also, seeing the old redhead maid coming out of the bedroom wiping her mouth was totally :X and totally
at the same time.

Caught up on the last 2 episodes...still top notch and my favorite show this year
The maid and neighbor joining forces is interesting, and the mom seeing a picture of the original wife is the first real sign that either her or the dad have real proof of ghosts/weird #### too, right?
Tate has become 1 of my favorite characters and the Tate/Violet relationship, will Violet reveal to him that he's a ghost, etc is the most interesting thing for me at the moment. I also totally agree with whoever said Taissa Farmiga is a hell of an actress.

About 75% of the content is new episode to episode. Thats one of the few carryovers that gets a legit 5-10 minutes every episode which is why Im more interested in how it pans out. Either way, I like all of the storylines at this point.That said, Im not sure if its on purpose or not, but it feels like the family's storyline is becoming more individual stories than the family as a whole. Yes, the dad isnt living there anymore which makes that easier, but rarely do you even see 2 of the 3 in the same scene together. Its setting up that each of them have their own horror "story". I could see how the last 3 episodes would be the death of each in separate episodes. The parents will definitely die, Tate might save Violet, but I have a feeling he finds out he is a ghost as doesn't save her so she will be in the house with him eternally.

Very, very interesting on multiple levels. Surprising they planned a 120 minute season finale to begin with, so a 90 minute finale doesnt sour me.Awesome that the show has been extended for another season, although I figured this was a 1 season show. It will be interesting to see if they keep it going with the current family for another season, kill them off but keep the house, or something new all together. At this point, Id say kill the family and keep the house, bring back a new family of good actors next year and expand on the houses history.

I'd wrap up the characters and house this season, starting fresh somewhere else next year. I don't see how they can extend both the house and the same characters past this season and keep its credibility (probably a strange thing to say about a horror show). Too much has happened for it not to come to a crescendo in December - the charcters are nearing the breaking point and I can't imagine how much more they can stuff into the house's history without it seeming like overload.All that said, the show gets a big thumbs-up from me. All of the performances are good and I love the little throwaway one-liners that inject some humor into each episode (the RE agent & Larry, especially). I also get a chuckle from Viv's reaction to men drooling over Moira when she's seeing an old woman.

If they can come up with another great and totally different concept for the next season, Id be on board with that. Who knows if they will or not. I dont think I would really want to see something similar with a different house.Either way, I definitely think the family should be dead for the next season, but I think the house might still be around because'Uruk-Hai said:
1) If the family is dead now you can have them as ghosts which will be interesting to see how their characters act or change in that capacity
2) Even more importantly is that right now, there is a major gap in the house's history between the original owners (1923) and the nurses that die (1969, IIRC. It was definitely late 60's-early 70's though) that hasnt been addressed at all. So right now the writers have almost 50 years of leeway to keep it with this house and have totally new ghosts except for the original owners as all the other ghosts we know wouldnt exist since they were in the future. I wouldnt mind getting more backstory about Dr. Frankenstein either, personally.
Uruk-Hai
Footballguy
The odd thing is that we haven't seen a ghost from that gap. You'd think one would've popped up by now. But you're right - lotsa missing years there that I wasn't accounting for.My initial thinking with starting fresh somewhere else next year was that there's so many other things they could do (so many other "whens" too). But they've loaded this season up with so many different angles that maybe anything they tried to do new would be derivative of season one.
Kenny Powers

He seems to be a somewhat gray area at this point...That said, I think Tate died in '94, so my guess is he lived in the house in between then and the gays, and killed/burned his family because of the house telling him to. He's the only character/ghost that we've seen outside of the house (except for Halloween), so that leads me to what I just said that he is alive as well. I figure they moved into the house in that time frame and he got bored with his wife and wanted Constance. This would also make sense because he killed Constance's "attic son" the other episode so their time in the house is both pretty recent.
shadyridr
Footballguy
no he didnt
Grahamburn
Footballguy
Yeah, they made it pretty clear his wife set the blaze.
AcerFC

This actually confused me a bit as well. When he told the story to Ben, he said that he lit the curtains and the house on fire. However, when they showed the flashback last episode, his wife is the one who lit her room (with her kids in it I think) on fire. So I can see why there would be confusion about that. I think the flashback is the real version. I think he is alive and not a ghost in any form. Just my take
bigbottom
Footballguy
Right. I don't recall the specific dialogue that he had with Ben in the most recent episode, but it was pretty clear that he had lied to him earlier when he said he killed his family.
shadyridr
Footballguy
he admitted to Ben he lied about killing them so not sure why there is any confusion
James Daulton
Footballguy
So burned guy didn't really kill his family, but he did whack the ex-girlfriend with the shovel and wants $1,000?
