FX’s horror series airs Wednesdays at 10/9c.
It really wasn’t all that surprising that the ambush led against The Countess wasn’t quite successful. There are more episodes in the season and she is most certainly the heart of this show this season. The attack left both Donovan and The Countess mortally wounded. Iris and Liz. They did get Donovan outside in what…
This week we pulled focus again from The Countess and honed in on Liz. Now, I have to admit that I love Liz, but she is not the character I want to see in this case. I want to stay focused on what little plot there is. Hotel instead had been a character study. The…
The Countess’s wedding is coming. So of course the Countess took it upon her to go back to sleeping some of the other people that she’d been sleeping with. Well she’s sleeping with a lot of people because the Countess plays people like a fiddle. We learned how Ramona Royale handled her falling out with…
Let’s just start out by saying that it makes sense that the Ten Commandments Killer was revealed. It was really not that surprising that it was revealed to be John who had been doing the killings. Sure, it would have been nice to have clues other than his gaps of memories. However, those were enough…
It doesn’t surprise me that they are going the people in the walls route. It’s very much in line with that they have been doing this season. Not to mention we already knew that people had been killed and shoved into the walls. So it wasn’t surprising to see that now that one was opened,…
There was a tie to Murder House this week. Turns out that The Countess went to go see Dr. Charles Montgomery to perform an abortion. Though it was clear that something was wrong with her. She was colder than she should have been. She was three weeks in put looked like she was full term…
Alex decided to become like her son. Being a vampire all of a sudden and craving blood can’t be an easy thing. While still being a doctor and trying to do her best by helping her patients is nice. However, she’s also making bad decisions. Other than drinking bags of blood in the store room.…
Devil’s Night is interesting with Hotel Cortez. We’ve already got the sense that the hotel is heavily haunted with many dead who seem to interact with those in the hotel as if they were alive. This was confirmed for certain this episode as it’s not just the ghosts who live there that become real threats…
James March and Tristan are buddying up inside the “murder palace”. According to March, he wants more death in the hotel. As far as he is concerned too many rooms have been untouched by death for too long. However, he’s also concerned that his murder palace will be destroyed. This is not a season that…
This is not a hotel that you want to visit. The regulars who live there are all bizarre. The guests who come in are more likely to end up dead than leave pleasantly. What was interesting was that the entire opening sequence as the vampire children fed on the travelers, who then had their blood…
Welcome to a Hotel Cortez. When a couple of foreigners are traveling they arrive at the empty looking hotel. They want their money back the the manager isn’t having that. Their stay was bizarre and unsettling from the moment they arrived. Halls that doubled back on themselves. That sense that someone is creeping behind you…
Like every season, American Horror Story started with a lot of potential. The conceit of following the horrors that may come along with following characters in a Freak Show actually made perfect sense. Set in a time period where acceptance was on the border of happening and still being a foreign concept.Yet, as the season…
The freaks were not taking Dandy’s bullshit when it came to his harassment. It was understandable from their point of view. Dandy walked in all high and mighty with claims of what the show should be and how it should be selling. They struck him down and then quit on him. Now, if they knew…
Stanley isn’t an idiot. It was good that he quickly realized that he was being set up. They wanted him dead. They wanted him punished for hurting their friends and they were going to do so by playing with Stanley. They played with him teasing a feature and picking at what they knew to be…
At least Stanley didn’t kill Jimmy like he did the others. Then again all he needed was hands so leaving him alive wasn’t something out of reason. Even if Jimmy chose to rat on him, who would believe a man accused of a mass murder. Jimmy wasn’t left to just rot in the hospital after…
