Jester 6,334 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Gaga's acting is brilliant imoThe story definitely unwraps too slowly tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djBuffoon 12,123 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 EDIT: found one Also I'm 3 minutes in and all the men's acting has been terribly awkward so far. Agreed. Evan and Finn are terrific actors, but it took them a few minutes to settle into that first scene. "High five!" "...Good." was great, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Empty 25,271 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Am I the only one who finds the Lowe family plotline the most interesting? I mean, I love seeing Gaga and I think she's doing a great job, but the Lowe's are by far the most relatable characters. And I'm also not sure why everyone loves Sally so much at this point, because she doesn't even have much of a character arc yet . #unpopularopinions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teri Hatcher 2,053 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 THIS EPISODE WAS FĂCKING AMAZING LOVINGN THE SEASON SO FAR. The story is unwrapping slowly but I like it that way By the time you reach the end of this sentence, it'll be too late to realize I just wasted your time with a pointless sig.

jxckk 959 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This episode was pretty bare but at the same time it still kind of pushed the storylines forward ever so slightly. Ramona coming in and their was her background with The Countess which we now know about and her motives against The Countess. Donovan and Iris had more of an emotional role this episode which we hadn't really seen before, and Alex finally seen Holden so we'll see how that plays out. I know that Cheyenne Jackson is gay in real life but I never knew he was gay in Hotel up until the scene with Tristan. So that's something new we also learned. AND, I didn't really see the whole point of Naomi Campbell in it, she literally added nothing to the two episodes she was in and her whole involvement was pretty pointless. They could have wrote in another way for the junkie to end up in the hospital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I laughed for days at the first scene. "High five!" "... Good!" "Killing is awesome dudebro!!" Tristan's such a lil ****, I love how Finn plays his character but I can't wait for him to die.Gaga's 70s look was ughhhhh everything Freddy's wigs are so gorgeous for ahs, I hope he keeps up the styling quality for her next album cycle. Ramonas styling is amaking too. I love the classic vamp trope of the creator hating her creation's creation. Very Anne Rice. My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thank god for Sarah. I mean, her acting and character literally keep the show from being a joke. I mean isn't the show kind of supposed to be a joke? I always felt like it was very aware of the way it lampshaded its own ridiculousness and tongue in cheek about using horror tropes as a crutch. (more than a crutch really...  more like a full body cast lol) The acting is excellent but I would never suggest that the plot was meant to be taken seriously. It's like a Gaga music video-excellent directing, styling, sets, but the plot is not the centerpiece of the world Ryan/Gaga envisioned.  It's camp! I mean, a blaxpoitation movie star s-x pot vampire? Ramona using the exact same opening line in her flashback as Gaga? "I was the queen of ______" Surely they are aware of what they are doing and giggling in the writers' room.

djBuffoon 12,123 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Overall, I thought last week's episode was better, but I'm happy that things are starting to really unfold. The main issue is that, although Finn Wittrock is such a talented actor, Tristan has zero charm or depth. Something needs to happen with him, because he isn't compelling in any way so far.I can't wait until next week. Rabe, Gabel, and Lynch will spice things up, and it will be interesting how The Countess and Alex interact... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Murphy has always stressed that AHS revolves around deep and philosophical themes. The style may be camp and tongue-in-cheek and whatever, but there's still the subject matter and the actual plot that is the core of the whole thing, make no mistake. In any case, it's not ridiculous enough to be seen as intentionally ludicrous and not serious enough to be seen as anything but superficially touching done-to-death themes to me, so even if the writers know what they're doing, that still doesn't have to mean that they're doing it well..

Mast 980 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So far, this season is shaping up to be a great seasonunless it goes horribly wrong towards the end like CovenI love Mommy episode, still not liking Gaga's character tho, but I'm excited for Alex to meet the Countesswhy haven't they call The Countess by the name, it's been 3 episode in, for those who doesn't follow the news, they will address her as Gaga, which bothers meUm, they've called her Elizabeth a lot. Bomer alone calls her Elizabeth and never Countess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
