I'm uncertain about this season of AHS. It's fast becoming the Lady Gaga show, and I've never been a huge fan.
LL, how can you know that? It hasn't even started yet, has it? You have to understand that Gaga is a world-wide mega-star, so of course the show is going to hype up the fact that she's on it. I don't think Kathy Bates would sign on if she only has a bit part. You might be surprised when the show finally airs.....

I am really looking forward to this. I have enjoyed all of the other seasons. :)

I just went through and watched all of the trailers posted in this thread. They're heavily laden with the Gaga.
And that's kind of my point. There's a LOT of star power going on with AHS, between Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett. It's a wonderful cast that has proven itself over several seasons. They shouldn't be dismissed in favor of one tag-along this late in the game. It's cheap and sensationalistic. It' a great show. It deserves better and should stick to what works.
I agree with Lepp. I am not a big gag gag fan. But, I will give her a chance. I want her to be great!
I agree. I'll watch it and give it a chance. But if it's that heavy on the gag factor, I'll opt out.

Elisa Lam looked to me to be well, pretty much crazy. She probably drowned herself by accident or on purpose....

Lepplady ... I couldn't watch your video link...
Yeah, it seemed to me from the video that she has major OCD or something along those lines. Like she had to step in the same place a few times or couldn't walk out of the elevator after certain things happened. Very odd case....

I see what Lepp is saying about Lady Gaga. They are kind of focusing things on her over the regulars like Paulson, Evans, Bates etc but it's also a great marketing gimmick to possibly bring new fans in. I agree with KRF. I think she's going to be really good. The show is offbeat and bizarre just like her. It's perfect casting and I don't think the show runners would have cast her in the role if they didn't think she could handle it. Pretty soon we'll find out if Mr. F and I need to eat some crow ;-D
