American Horror Story: Freakshow

[misery chastain loves co.]

SPOILERS!!!! (sorry, I don't know how to do the spoiler button )
I watched this weeks episode last night and......meh. Now don't get me wrong, I am enjoying the season and the cast is spot on but of all the previous seasons which I immediately got into I'm having the hardest time with this one. It's not grabbing me like Coven and Murder House did.
I want to like Dandy as a villain, I really do but he is annoying as hell. They're trying to make him all Patrick Bateman like. I did like the return of Gabby and I hope she shows up to whip some Dandy booty!
Like Lepplady stated, I was a little confused as to what was real and what was not with O'Hare's character. I think I remember Emma Roberts saying at one point that he had a vivid fantasy life but could him talking to the museum owner with Bette and Dot in the tank possibly be a flash forward? Maybe his fantasy life is how he is going to take each one out but the tanks and dead people in them are real. I think that would be a brilliant finale for a show as twisted as this. Everyone coming to a gala museum opening and some of our beloved freaks are in the tanks.

I agree, Dandy is hard to like, but I am enjoying the show. I do think the flashes have been fantasy, not flash forward, but would not be surprised if they are setting me up!

Thank you very much!

They need to lay off the flash-fantasies. It's confusing. Just show us the good stuff, up front and unadulterated. That's one of the things I like about AHS. Don't start getting all cute on us now.

Well, this is Ryan Murphy, after all!

Oh dear... that would be a brilliant finale

Okay. I'm getting kinda sicka this show. It's all about Dandy's temper tantrums, and those got old at least 3 episodes ago.

 

[misery chastain loves co.]

Seriously. What the heck is going on this year?? I love this show and I really REALLY want to like this season but I'm having a hard time. I'll keep watching because it's AHS and I'll continue to hope that they will come up with something amazing.

 

[TrueGeneration]

They just REALLY need to get rid of Dandy, haha.
But the acting is top-notch and superb, as always!

 

[misery chastain loves co.]

Completely agree on both counts!

I watched this week's episode this morning. I haven't watched the past seasons (started the first and started having nightmares about my daughter - um, no thank you!) so I have only heard the buzz from seasons past. I really thought this one looked interesting so decided I would give it another try. Now I am enjoying it, don't get me wrong, but I keep thinking, shouldn't something else be happening? Is this really supposed to be that terrifying? So, I am glad that you veteran watchers are getting the same vibe. This week was frankly boring. I am getting tired of Elsa too.

We know NPH is coming soon and hopefully Gabby's character will show up and then things will get more exciting.

I love Jessica Lange and she's so fun to watch, but I will have to say that Elsa is my least favorite character of hers so far :/

Ditto! That's why I put the sad face. LOL

LOL. Jessica is going to be missed! Hopefully, she does a guest spot next season!

 

[Lepplady]

I love Elsa's Bowie fixation. Powder blue suit, eye shadow and all.
He directed two episodes this season, BTW.

I didn't know that! I never pay attention to the credits. lol. that's kinda cool!

Elsa's version, for comparison.

Okay so I really enjoyed last weeks ep. Getting back to the true roots of AHS.

Spoiler

R.I.P. Petit but I get why they did it. The title is American HORROR story after all. Loved what Dad did to his daughter with the tattoos. Bet he doesn't live much longer. The relationship between Jimmy and Strong Man(can't think of his name)could be intriguing.

With Gabby and Lily coming back along with the NPH addition the future looks a little brighter! Hopefully not too bright

Ohhhhhhhhh... ok, who has the cutest buns... Jimmy or Dandy? I kept expecting Dandy to turn around and couldn't decide if I wanted him to or not lol.
