I've been in a fair few farmhouses like that, and none of them have ever had just 3 bedrooms. That part is the reenactment so who knows what it "actually" looked like.

There's no way the entire season will be just this mocumentary format. I'd predict that around episode 6 the crew and "real" people travel back to the house with a live-crew and "spooky things" happen.

During the first episode I kind of hoped for some closure in the end and that the theme for this season would be an anthology within the anthology and cool original storytelling for each episode. The writers of this show have some neat ideas, but when they have to stretch them out for a full season they pile on too much garbage.

Maybe after a certain point it'll switch from documentary format to showing the actual documentary production? The real life couple experienced some scary poo poo but nothing too over the top, the production crew is shooting at the actual house, no problems for the first few episodes but then something happens and things really go crazy. Maybe they convince the real couple to come back to the house to shoot some special poo poo, so we get to see the actual couple and sister as well as the actors portraying them in the reenactment interact with each other and all get terrorized together. Does this make any sense?

Is everything in the flashback clips reenactment? I've watched lots of lovely reenactments and none of them ever had the reenactors get naked and ride cowgirl style. Having 2 sets of actors playing the characters was confusing. The talking head segments seemed a bit more artificial than the flashback scenes. For a few minutes I was wondering if A*S just has too many actors associated with it these days, so the only way to make a coherent story with a reasonable number of characters is to assign 2 actors per character.

The talking head interviews seemed really wooden and without emotion. I know Lily Rabe is a good actress, but she didn't seem authentic to me. Also the 'reenactment' used advanced camera techniques, sex scenes, etc. that you would never see in a real life show like this. e^ like that guy says

Sierra Nevadan posted:The talking head interviews seemed really wooden and without emotion. I know Lily Rabe is a good actress, but she didn't seem authentic to me. Exactly. I wonder if it is bad acting or if they are setting it up for a shocking twist later where we find out the talking heads are the reinactors. In which case the scenes in the world might not be reenactments being shown as part of the documentary, but instead flashbacks to what actually happened and not part of the documentary at all. But bad acting and/or bad writing is still a possibility. Lily Rabe gets a lot of work, so it's possible her scenes are a little wooden because she shot the whole season in one 12 hour session in the recording studio or something.

Decided to give Hotel a shot after enjoying the season premiere, jfc this is awful. What an ugly mess. I honestly think this is worse than Coven and Freakshow. Aside from Peters doing H H Holmes and the ridiculous Devil's Night episode, it's just a boring ugly slog. It's so hard to find any of this interesting. I've got three episodes left and I really am struggling to decide whether or not to even finish the season. The subplot with the detective is the worst, but Gaga is like Ambien for the eyes too. I'm really shocked, because everyone kept raving about how beautiful and talented and brilliant etc she was in this season, I just don't get it. And how did this show manage to make Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates boring? Angela Bassett was criminally underused too. Roanoke Mystery seems like a total change from the awful direction that started with Coven and led to this terrible nonsense, I'm not getting my hopes up but I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

I honestly think that the main reason Hotel was tolerable was because it was spread out and you couldn't just mainline it. I'm really not surprised that it's awful to marathon, especially because you can see all the potential evaporate in real-time like a drop of water on a stove.

Pop stars doing celebrity appearances on TV shows has a long and storied history of being completely awful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHBF2i8zKCM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47puweMw9Wk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_3qH1DsDu8 Compared to the mess it could have been, Gaga's performance was completely unremarkable. A perfectly adequate actor who didn't distort the show with her presence.

Man rear end is like AHS's primary export. Except maybe in Coven? I don't remember, but seems like there weren't as many mans available to provide the rear end.

She's a gay icon equivalent to Cher and Madonna-- really good and even great in her wheelhouse but within the LGBT sphere is deified to the point of being treated like a demigod come to visit the mortal plane. "Not loving up" is the same as "talented and brilliant" when you're on that level. Facebook Aunt posted:Hell yeah there's man rear end. As a straight dude all the man-rear end must be visual white noise to me because I don't remember any of it.

Second last episode, Evan Peters in the cameo with the witch from Coven "You may be a WITCH .... but I'm .... A GHOST!" That line makes up for the whole season because Evan Peters is just loving loving that poo poo.

Mezzanon posted:Second last episode, Evan Peters in the cameo with the witch from Coven yeah I'm glad I kept watching, it's been an awful ride but that line made... well, not the whole thing worth it, but it made me laugh pretty hard. He was so good, almost a shame everything else was so awful. He really made everyone else seem even worse in comparison, too. And yeah I guess I understand what you guys mean about Gaga, it certainly could have been a lot worse. But it really is just a completely unremarkable performance. I know she's somehow managed to become a huge gay icon, but the show itself seems to be treating her with this weird reverence based on that alone, and it feels completely unearned and especially frustrating when other fantastic actors are being either wasted or practically ignored (March aside). I thought binging it would be more tolerable than waiting week after week to be let down, like Coven and Freakshow. But yeah, I think seeing potential evaporate so quickly might have been even worse.
