American Horror Story

[Deleted]

Yeah, the first episode gave me the impression that pretty much everyone was a ghost.

[cruising]

Me too.

I mean seriously that's a bit much, but I did like that they included a Down's Syndrome child. The inclusion added a different element to the show. Plus, the girl can act.

Wait, if they are all supposedly ghosts, then why did the Down Syndrome girl age, the twins didn't?

Since she is the one who is predicting who will die maybe she has a connection with whatever evil entity is in the house and has stayed alive for it.

So, if I was going to buy some coke in Los Angeles, I'd totally not be hesitant after they made me come over to their place, made me follow them down to a dank basement and then pointed to a dark room and told me to go in while they waited outside. Because palming it to me in one hand while I passed a wad of bills to their other hand in the hallway at school would be just so last century.

OK. I watched it again last night. In the absence of anything else to entertain me on Wednesday nights at 10, it's not that bad.

Main questions last night: Why did the alarm system not go off when the murder junkies showed up? I mean, it sure got set off when Abby came through there unwanted. Did wife lady (whose name I still can't remember), who was all alone in an already creepy place, feel THAT comfortable not setting it? And the cops weren't at all phased that yet another dead body turned up that had something to do with a house already the scene of, like, 1,000 murders already?

The home invasion scenario where Connie Britton kept seeing masked intruders freaked me the fuck out. I can't remember the last time a TV show legitimately scared me.

Did I miss a scene where the bitchy cokewhore has a legitimate reason to now be best buds with Violet, who was utterly instrumental in putting giant claw/teeth, could-never-be-properly-fixed-even-by-the-best-Beverly-Hills-plastic-surgeon gashes in her face?

I think it was implied that the girl who had posed as a patient earlier had disabled the alarm. How I don't know. I think it is best not to think too hard about the logistics on this show. Like trying to figure out how much time has passed between Vivien having sex with the gimp, to finding out she was pregnant to when Violet figured it out.

I think it is best not to think too hard about consistent character development either. Basically just enjoy it for its ridiculous dialogue. Favorite line in episode 1: "I needed you and you got a dog!" Favorite line in episode 2: "My hair is turning white with fear. I read on the Internet that is possible."
And marvel at the many degrees of terrible acting. From Dylan McDermott's woodenness (only tolerable when he is naked and jacking it) to Kate Mara's seeming inability to even say "pizza is here" like a human being. And let's not forget Jessica Lange chewing the scenery so bad her Oscar should be revoked. I think the show is pretty terrible. I do enjoy the opening scenes. Mainly because it is like a mini movie and almost feels separate from the rest of the show. But the show isn't boring. I will keep watching it until it becomes boring.

Also it is amazing how much Taissa Farmiga looks like her big sister Vera. Considering the age difference I originally thought she was her daughter.

So basically everyone but the new family are ghosts. Okay then.

I wish my ghost would do some housekeeping!
