I thought it was pretty good. I can't wait for the crushing disappointment as the plot inevitably gets drawn and quartered near the middle of the season.

I'm not checking out ( ) yet, but I also wasn't exactly thrilled by the premiere either. The cinematography's cool, but I don't feel really connected to the show yet. It's just the first episode, though. Gonna give it at least a couple more episodes.

The only reason I knew it wasn't him was because I specifically knew he wasn't going to be in this season. They really all do look very loving similar. He's totally one of those gay dudes that lists "no blacks/azns" on his grindr profile. e: I also knew because I didn't get an instant erection from looking at any of their eyebrows.

Gaga's got a great butt. Alright, so we've got a bunch of characters who are apparently dead/immortal, and also vampire/cannibals, and also live to serve the vampire/cannibals, several of which are corn children in an infinite playroom ala The Tale of the Thirteenth Floor. Speaking of which, the muddy ghost guy with the drill strap on looks nearly identical to the aliens from said tale. I guess my issue is, how are they going to stretch this across 13 episodes? It was muddled and messy, and yet, by the end, you kind of have a sense of what's going on. But what's the point of interest? They need guests to sustain them, the cop moves into the hotel (where a killer led him,) and will probably come across his missing son, Gaga will be fabulous with some fabulous guests, and somewhere in between, we'll meet Aileen Wuornos and what appears to be John Wayne Gacy. I'm just assuming of course, but the mystery really doesn't feel as strong as previous seasons. It usually ends up being a disappointment, granted, but you certainly don't want the season to be predictable.

So we have Lady Gaga who is a vampire without the teeth who turns Kathy Bates' son into another vampire after he OD's and she kills the druggie who now lives in the hotel. We have an actual serial killer in the outside world that a detective is trying to hunt down and he ends up staying in the hotel which so happens to house the son he lost at a carnival. And the hotel is being bought by a jaded artist/designer/musician who has a son with the worst haircut. And the original front desk person is a crossdresser/transgender person who doesn't care about money? So what I'm seeing is a lot of similar looking attractive guys (Matt Bomer stay naked forever, please) and things happening to sons.

I actually kind of liked it.... It felt more like Murderhouse (my favorite season), and while I assumed that Lady Gaga would be a terrible actress and ruin it, they actually wrote a character with no emotions and very few lines, so it works for her. I liked the shout-outs to Se7en and The Shining. And Kathy Bates trundling around with her little cart of disgustingness was hilarious for some reason. There was also more of a "real" story with the cop & his wife that was a nice grounding touch. The terrible seasons (Coven and Freakshow) didn't really have anything approaching real-life relationships and their issues, and that was one of the things that made them terrible. I am beyond disappointed at the lack of naked Finn Wittrock, however.

So! Let's take guesses now, who's what? Gaga - Vampire Donovan - Vampire Iris - Human (Renfield) Sally - Ghost/Vampire (I dunno, she seemed like she wanted to eat that guy) Liz Taylor - Ghost Detective - Human Will Drake - Human Lachlan - Human Mr. March - Dead, probably gonna show up as a ghost because AHS Holden/Kids - Mini-vampires?

I'm thinking Liz is alive since it was implied she can be kicked out.

I think it's maybe hinted at that Gaga turned him into a vampire at the last minute, but he's probably a ghost and Bates killed the dealer out of revenge. Did anyone else think the former front desk person looked like Jim Rash from Community? I was getting Dean-y vibes from him. I also can't wait for the contrived plot that connects the detective and his son to the hotel.

This article outlines some of the characters/future plot points. I don't know if it would be considered spoilery ("a macabre love triangle between [characters]"), so I'm not quoting. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/26/lady-gaga-american-horror-story-hotel-ew-cover I am tentatively on board.

I'm still not over the fact that they ended on a loving Hotel California montage. When I heard it kick in, I literally yelled "gently caress ME" out loud at the TV. Edit: Also, hey, the hotel is H.H. Holmes' murder hotel. That's pretty sweet, I guess.

I didn't really care for it at all but for completely opposite reasons than I thought I wouldn't like it. It's still very redeemable as long as they start to include some plot that isn't contrived, but random scenes of shock aren't gonna do it for me. Spooky white gimp suit with the unicorn horn strap on raping the poo poo out of Kurt Cobain was by far the lamest thing in the episode, IMO.
