The rape in the show is fictitious and in no way glorified, so I don't think you have a point. 

But Gaga appears in the orgy scene, not in the rape one. I don't get what Gaga has to do with it

Its the first episode of 13.   I think the entire point of this one was to be disoriented and make you wonder exactly what the hell is going on.

I've watched it twice now.The quotes I found funny were ''call room service'' and ''you dumb Swedish meatball''.Gaga's kids room was awesome with the sweets and retro 80's videogames.

Everyone's on about this rape scene. Here and on facebook (although they're less forgiving there :saladga:)

Take it from a rape victim, I'm not bothered at all by it. It's not glorifying rape or celebrating it. This guy got f*cked by his addiction, it's a super simple visual metaphor :laughga: 

The gore scenes were amazing. Well, blood scenes I guess you'd call them. The CGI when the throats were slit is the only thing I thought looked bad. And the position marker as someone here pointed out (sorry, I forget who :ohno:). The set and characters are beautiful though! That s-x scene with Gaga was amazing too...literally screamed. I'm so glad I didn't have that part too spoiled (although there was a post on the front page about it :fail:)

Gaga's acting is pretty good, but I'm not surprised about that. I'm a little thrown off because I'm not used to hearing her deliver lines except for in Marry the Night, but that's on my end. I can't wait to see more from her...and Kathy Bates :dies: Iris and Sally are...something else.

Liz Taylor is :legend:if it weren't for the Kuntess, Liz would be my favorite character. 

I'm genuinely interested in this season. Even if Gagz wasn't in it, I'd still watch it. I want to know more about the cop and his family...I also have so many questions haha. How did the Countess kidnap and brainwash Holden and the others? Will she do it to Will Drake's kid, Lachlan? What exactly are the Countess and Donovan? How was Donovan saved or did he die for the overdose? How is Sally alive after that fall? Why does Iris have to see her son every day? What's in room 33 (I think room 33...) that has to be fed and what does it eat?

No one spoil it for me, I want to find out by watching :dies:

You're stinky

and the worst thing of this whole situation: I just CANNOT hide the fact that it bothers me to think of the backlash for Gagz, who's given her own voice to make a stand against rape (female and male) just a few weeks ago. even tho the scene didn't envolve her character overall it does feel HELLA AWKWARD when you think about the big picture, to me at least. sometimes I do became mr. politically correct (when I come across those kind of scenes for example) and that's just who I am. not sorry for that.

soooo by this logic is gaga endorsing murder by brutally killing people and drinking their blood in the very same episode?

I just finished the episode. I LOVED IT, IT IS VERY VERY GOOD. It has shocked me, the rape scene is ****ing bizarre, and gore is everywhere, but that's not bad at all, I want more gore and more disturbing and bizarre things. Gaga's acting is pretty good! The orgy scene is the best thing on the episode, and it's super s-xy. And Sarah Paulson is amazing, I always love the way she acts. Can't wait for the next one! 

But that blood...:lmao:  

feeling so hot tamale

nonono. there is no such logic on what I said. I didn't say she's endorsing any of that. I just said that it made me uncomfortable to have rape and Gaga on the same show.

Question.

About the two swedish girls.  Wasn't one of them being eaten by the kids in the bathroom?  Later on they were both in their cage.  Did I miss something?

I haven't even seen the episode yet but I feel totally disgusted by some pics and gifs I have seen from the episode, I was so excited to watch it when she announced her participation on February, but now I find it too edgy and bloody and explicit, even for a horror series.

I've just finished watching it and now I understand why the cast said she's like actresses back in 1920-30s. Her acting is not modern and the way she delivered the script is very old fashioned (especially when she told iris that Donovan has a jawline for days) but it makes perfect sense. Because She's supposed to be an old soul?

if this is true she's a genius.

The episode was bloody spectacular. :giveup: 

Sally is tied with the Countess for my fave character. The whole flashback to 1994 was so interesting. Seeing what originally happened in Room 64, Sally's death (which I have questions about. How is she alive again?), Iris before she became the front lady, The Countess... everything! 

 

I loved the whole episode. I'm especially interested in Holden's story and the murderer. :woot: 

 

I was also really proud of Gaga. She played her character so well. The foursome is ICONIC. :legend:
