Lena Dunham is confirmed for only one episode so the chances of sudden death are high. We don't seem to have a count for Roberts yet.

Well Roberts did punch her boyfriend Evan Peters on more than one occasion as I recall. And she usually is typecast as some kind of uppity exaggerated WASP. But I agree she was very good in Scream Queens. In fact, given the choice between SQ season 3 or AHS: Cult, I would probably picked SQ.

Denis O'Hare is going to be back this season at least, right? I've tried googling who all is in the cast this season, but most of the articles that popped up were like 'Lena Dunham to appear!' I know the OP has a list, but I'm curious how many others are returning; since that list also seems to be low on 'Ryan Murphy's stable of hunky brunettes'.

I just finished watching Roanoke. I'm not even sure how I didn't know that season come out. In a way it's the best and most coherent story. The framing device has some interesting things with it and some really dumb ones. Things like the Chen ghosts are hilariously bad and out of place. After episode 5 it's like... What? Sarah Paulson is the worst part of any season. Gaga being given a low bar to jump over that she clears by a mile and characters that play to her strengths as an entertainer is pretty great. Best part of the hotel season. I live in New Orleans and have my whole life, and Coven is terrible by every metric. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Aug 3, 2017 |

I'm going to watch Roanoke once it hits Netflix so for now I'm going back through Hotel. I maintain that the season would have been perfect if they'd ended on the Hotline Bling scene. Just cut to black and delete all the remaining episodes, it's peak 2015. My account put me at Coven first since I'd just finished Asylum (still the best) and just the first episode was booooring. The fashion is great though. I wanna be a bitchy witch clad in all black sitting around pouring whiskies and smoking cigarettes in my all-white NOLA mansion

I wanna be generous and say that maybe there's a Taiwanese ghost tradition that's just superficially similar to the Japanese Onryo thing and they played it up for the reenactment portion, but who am I kidding they were just lazy.

When Ryan Murphy starts doing a love story for the last half of a few seasons, a love sick jazz saxophone playing ghost, aliens, ghost exgirlfriend, stupid witch hunters, mutant raising, gay lobster dad sub plots the other seasons are such a mess.

Well with any luck Emma Roberts' character will die horribly as she has every season. Best part of Coven was Evan Peters strangling her and telling her "you're not that good an actress"

Emma Roberts is an okay actress, but she gets typecast as a Heather in almost everything.Firstborn posted:I just finished watching Roanoke. I'm not even sure how I didn't know that season come out. Episode 6 of Roanoke is one of the best episodes that American Horror Story has ever put together and I will fight anyone who insists otherwise.

Emma Roberts is amazing and I'm glad she's returned to AHS. Fight me. Is Rabe back, or has she left again? This year's theme has me super anxious it will suck harder than Freak Show, so I need some good news.

If you want to take a personal hand in the show not sucking, here's your big chance to get onscreen and redeem it with your magnetic presence and then get murdered offscreen by clowns probably.

I've enjoyed every season of AHS and maybe that's because I've never expected it to be more than cheap scares and tv horror. Ryan Murphey isn't some sort of directorial genius.

^^^ The only one I haven't really enjoyed was Freak Show, and only because it was boring. Coven was bad, but it was hilarious and kept me entertained.

"So... um. I see your hair is blue." Also, in poking around other forums and comment sections on AHS articles, I've noticed that there seem to be two camps of people who watch the show: Those that liked seasons 1 and 2 and thought 6 was kind of a return to form, and those that liked 3-5 but didn't like 6, usually because of the format. I don't know, it sounded more interesting when I thought it up.

Freak Show was an exercise in how far a show could crawl up its own rear end. I'm a little over halfway done with my Hotel rewatch. I'd forgotten all the confusing bullshit with Wren and what an irredeemable character Alex is. But it did give me my favorite line of the entire series: "I couldn't pick my butthole out of a line up"

Parasol Prophet posted:"So... um. I see your hair is blue." Yeah I think that's a good observation. I definitely fall into the first camp. I'll still watch this cheesy-as-gently caress ridiculous show no matter what though. Even if it's as bad as Hotel.

I'll go on record as saying that every season is entertaining, it's just some are entertaining the same way watching a celebrity be shallow and a total trainwreck is. Coven is a total dumpster fire in terms of motivation, logic, pacing, and character likeability. But it's not like we don't remember the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEES fondly as a moment so goofy we bring it up whenever we can rather than suppress it.

Rewatching Roanoke now and I loving love the moment when they stumble onto Sidney's corpse. Sarah Paulson playing British Actress Audrey Tindall (who played Shelby Miller in My Roanoke Nightmare) just broke down wailing and sobbing uncontrollably. "I'm not American I'm not used to all this carnage!!!"

With Kathy Bates gone this season, maybe Sarah Paulson can grace us with another horrible accent. Someone needs to pick up the slack. Seriously, that was the worst part of Roanoake.

Evan Peters had one too but it was a lot more subtle Of course it could be one of those situations where, like you, I'm just used to hearing the stereotypical impression. After living in the south for most my life, I can easily spot a real southern accent vs. a fake one. Very few people get it right. That being said, I've absolutely met some real life people who sounded exactly like Cricket

I mean, one woefully underutilized accent is Buffalo (flat vowels, tending to drop the unstressed middle syllable in a word). Then again American Horror Story: Buffalo would probably just be rolling footage from any Buffalo Bills season since 1990.
