I really do want to see more. Almost feels like some voyeur or such.

I hated it. I thought they would make good use of the plot but instead its just some freak show. Not to mention the acting is just horrid. (n)

I've wanted to watch it since I saw the first preview, I've heard good and bad reviews from several people...
Hopefully i'm stepping into something amusing so I dont waste my life.

I enjoyed it. It has potential. I'll catch it on Hulu during lunch over the pizza/salad/soda we have here at work. I tend to watch scary things at work so I know I'm not alone versus that kind of stuff at home where I forget there is a dog in the condo and I get all wrapped up in the scary show and then the dog comes around the couch corner and the lamp light catches in her eyes weird and I end up flying about 30 feet into the air which hurts because the ceiling is only about 16 feet (its vaulted, don't be jealous I'm high class) and I come back down in pain and in a sweat and have to take a shower which sucks because you really should only wash your hair once a day. More than twice can damage it.

Thanks for the hair washing visual.

Yea, you should see it. Pasty white biceps all flexed while scrubbing my scalp. Pretty awesome.

Plot? It's a pilot. A family moves into a house and strange things start to happen. The plot comes with the season.

Plot pilot whatever. I didn't like the pilot, the story, the first episode, what occured, the events during that hour. I didn't like it. Hope that clarifies my point, but if it doesn't just let me know and I will try again. :rolleyes:

Yikes! Calm down. I wasn't attacking you, just joining the conversation. I gave you a valid point that a horror show isn't going to explain much in their pilot episode. I don't care what you like. I know a guy that works on the show that thinks it sucks too. Chill out.

Well you know it's the internet so the way I read it was different from the way you meant. Anyway, some folks look for ways to fuck with me so I assumed you were going out of your way to be an asshole... I'll cross you off my list of assholes and just say sorry.... it was a misscommunication. :cool:
But for what it's worth I don't need the pilot or plot or whatever to realize how bad it sucks. The acting is so cheesy and the story had potential to be good. I guess I had high expectations because I am a huge horror fan but it seems to be there for only shock factor just like everything else on TV!
Bring out the gimp (y)
That was creepy and we know the result:eek:
And the maid situation is funny and freaky.
I liked it and I am sure it will get better. I DVRed last nights episode.

No worries. It's definitely not for everyone. I go back and forth on it. It's October.

I love this show. I love how the cheater walked out on his girlfriend's abortion. He hasn't seen the last of her!

Tried the first episode. I love scary and strange anything, but this went borderline on a lot of cheese at certain moments. It is almost as if it wants to be like The Shining with the creepy factor, but it falls short.
The depressed teens cutting themselves and then talking about listening to Morrissey? REALLY? I mean...really?
Also, I lol'd pretty hard when the guy was jerking it IN FRONT OF AN OPEN WINDOW, cried right after, then noticed the weird dude.
I'd watch it if I was bored I guess.
How's this progressing? I keep meaning to set my dvr for it but I keep forgetting. I haven't watched an episode yet. The commercials are pretty intriguing and a lot of people tell me to watch it, but it seems it got a pretty lukewarm reception in here.
The identity of the latex gimp that impregnated the wife, Vivien, with twins was revealed and she was taken away to the mental ward. It is a good show. I bet that Connie Britton who plays Vivien gets an emmy for her role.

I really like this series. I like the way it gives a kind of fresh twist on what a ghost is - ie they dont just make floorboards creek and lights turn on/off - they walk around and interact with the living, you dont know who is alive and who isnt.
I like the way the characters are kind of grotesque charicatures as well, kind of familiar stereotypes but creepy and weird.

I like the way it gives a kind of fresh twist on what a ghost isI like that it somehow gets away with such lighting-quick pacing. It would be a detrimental in most visual works but given how borderline voyeuristic and absolutely domestic it is, it just seems okay to go with that direction.
Oh, and Jessica Lange is great! She will also win an emmy.

I love the SHIT out of this show.
Who watched the finale last night?
I was feeling like it was rushed (like, trying to cram too much into one epi) and they should've ended the season with Vivian's birth last week and this one should've been the first epi for next season. Is it just me?
I really liked the ending. I read that they will have another great cast next year. I do not want to ruin the ending for someone that has not watched so I will not say more.

I also liked the ending.
I haven't heard what they're doing next year. I just hope it's completely different.

They are, new story and new cast apparently. Although I would imagine there would be some cross-over. It would make sense for that evil child to feature in the new ones.
I liked it, but it was quite different to what I expected. We never got the answers as to quite what was going on, that I guess that is the fashion (damn you 'Lost').
Like why was the house evil - did the first couple make it evil by being nuts and dyng in it, or did they do that because it was already evil? What was all that shit the medium said about the house wanting to escape into the world? How come the housekeepers ghost aged but none of the others did? Why can't ghosts just appear to the cops and tell them the are buried in the garden?

I also heard it's going to be a different location too.
Jessica Lange wins the Golden Globe. Well deserved!

Totally true! She acted the shit out of that part!
Anyone start watching this season? Love it!
Not as good as last season so far. Then again, "so far" is only one episode.
I kind of liked the beginning. There are lots of stories. I also like the asylum with the hardcore nun and mad scientist doctor. Insane asylums are crazy fun (my favorite movie is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). When the nun was able to incarcerate the lesbian reporter I was creeped out. It has lots of story lines. It took me a couple of episodes for me to get into the 1st season so it will probably be the same for this season.

Based on one episode, I worry that this season will be too much darkness and not enough suspense/mystery.
What is the nun feeding in the woods? Why is the doctor experimenting on patients? What is in the wall of his new addition? There will be suspense. I love the darkness of the asylum. It is on again tonight!

This is probably a stupid question but Jessica Lange's character is an entirely new character right? This is not backstory for Constance from series 1?
Or is that part of the mystery, like it will turn out that she is some sort of undead being that goes around causing ghosts to rise up?
Bit confused :confused:
It's an entirely new story with all new characters. There are I think 4-5 actors from last season who returned new this season.

Jessica Lange is now a conflicted crazy nun. All new and I have to say that she is awesome.

Still have a massive crush on Evan Peters.
It is getting good. Last night's episodes certainly had some twists. It is demented and I like it.
