not really. All of Lange's characters looked pretty much the same and they weren't "vastly developed." 

That's your opinion. I'm not going to waste brain cells and keystrokes trying to change it.

Jessica Lange is a professional actress. Gaga, with the exception of flashes of potential (the MTN vid, Lady Chameleon, etc.), is an amateur making her first foray into this kind of an extended role.

Personally, I feel the writers have been limiting Gaga's screen time in a way that decreases the development of her character.

I'm sure anybody with enough time on their hands could chronicle the exact amount of screen time that Fiona and Elsa had, at this point in the run, compared to The Countess.

If the writers want to truly develop the character of The Countess, then Gaga needs an appreciable increase in screen time.

I liked Gaga's performance but she really needs to showcase a different side of Elizabeth if she were to snatch an Emmy nomination.

She is a blood sucking vamp- she is meant to lack human qualities though??

I'm a fan of AHS. I've never missed an episode.

I'd disagree completely with any assertion that this is the "best season since Asylum".

The character of The Countess clearly lacks the gravitas of either Fiona Goode or Elsa Mars.

Compared to the other things going on in episodic television it's fairly decent, but I feel that the writers have been egregiously underplaying the possibilities of Gaga's character.

Lange is more professional and her characters (Fiona and Elsa) were vastly more developed than The Countess.

Well, i agree with that. But we can't judge an entire season only by Jessica. She's GREAT. She's the series mother. But Coven was a mess imo...despite she was there to save the season, the plot was horrible. But well, i respect your opinion.

I think Countess knows about Iris. How can she not and how does she not know about what happened at the school  haha I iver think too much

Yeah I get that. In fact I've been defending her acting using this exact same reason as well. But the Emmys aren't gonna be so considerate imo so she needs to take the initiative to show the Emmy what she can do.

but it all relates to Gaga... Gaga's gonna find out that it's all Alex's fault and then Alex won't be able to see holden so they are all going to gang up on Gaga and then Gaga is probably gonna do something and John Lowe is probably gonna try to destroy the hotel and idk It's definitely all thought out more than I thought it would be.

I've also had a feeling the hotel is going to end up destroyed in the end (with the Countess & Mr. March going down with it). This idea was brought to mind again when the hipster couple were seen briefly watching Suspiria.

Have you guys noticed that there's an arrow drawn together with the airplane on Liz Taylor's backstory. Do you think it's a clue?

[DontDoubtDavid 1,191]

So... Is Liz alive or dead? Her backstory was in the 80s, and she hasn't aged at all from the flashback scenes.

Wow I just google imaged that movie and it has a lot of resemblances to the Countess' penthouse!

Yeah, they both have that so-severe-it's-creepy art deco thing going on (with Mater Suspiriorum's chambers having neon accents as well).

Oop, i'm perched to see how this hint will predict a lot of future stuff story-line-wise

I just assumed that they didn't try to make him look any younger for the flashbacks because of his scenes with Iris. It seemed that they both were the only "normal" people aka mortals.
