I thought it was a good start to series 4

I liked it too. I thought it was the least scary/intense of all four season premieres, but definitely a great start, and I'll be looking forward to each week's episode. I like the exploitative nature of having real "freaks," and also thought the killer clown dude is pretty messed up. I want to understand what's up with his face.

Caught up with the first episode last night (fell asleep too soon on Wednesday ), and, boy... I'm currently listening to this while I type...
What follows may be SPOILERS, so be warned... The Good
The Nit-Picky (not bad but stuff that bugged me a little)
That's really it in terms of gripes, though... Oh, and by the way - did you see the look alike while Lange was singing? Is she a twin or just crazy and watching/dreaming about herself? Excited to see where that goes. All in all, I'm totally pumped to see more. Meanwhile I've binge-rewatched the first season and am working my way through the second. This is my favorite television series ever. |

While watching this show I kept thinking about about how Machoman pronounced "Freakshow" when he fought against Spider-Man at 1:55.
Also, I've never been afraid of clowns. The Killer Klowns from Outer Space were freaky and kind of scary at times. But this clown in Freakshow is the scariest clown I've ever seen. Probably one of the scariest characters I've seen in horror movies or TV. He gave me shivers and an unsettling almost nauseous feeling whenever he was on screen. I don't know if it's the large teeth or the way his face is cutaway. But it's not a good feeling. The episode itself was ok. The singing part was really good. But overall it's probably the slowest or least interesting start of the American Horror Story series. I've never liked the idea of a freakshow. It's probably because I don't like the fact that nature isn't perfect and things like this happen. I don't know if I'll watch the full season. Maybe I'll catch it when it's finished and all on demand if it turns out to be good. I didn't get that at all. I thought at first that she too had a twin or something. And the twin was the singer and star. Didn't she say when she leaves the restaurant that stars don't pay? |

I'm enjoying this more than Coven already. I'm hoping it'll be on par with Asylum.
Speaking of nitpicky things... why the fuck would someone be singing Bowie jams in the 50s? |

True; it'll be interesting to see what the reveal is - I actually originally thought that the double in black was the REAL character and she was hallucinating the whole thing.

just caught the season opener last night.
I'm thinking I'm gonna like this season. Very stylish as usual and we already know the cast can act. Yeah....the clown is great. got a Halloween party coming up this weekend and thinking of going as Lobster Boy......the wife thinks that's a good idea. |

SPOILER
The scene where the kid finds the decapitated head was pretty cool. Nice to see Michael Chiklis show up. Twisty the Clown is easily the best thing about this season so far. John Carroll Lynch is underrated as a character actor. The musical scene was kind of funny despite one of my biggest pet peeves with period pieces being the use of music that doesn't belong in the time period.

I absolutely love this series, and this season is off to a great start! Of course, Twisty the clown is a fan-favourite because of his demented face and eerie silence. But Dandy! He is kinda growing on me. I'm hoping he becomes more sinister as his character develops a bit more.
I've been reading some interesting theories online about what viewers think is going on. Is it all in Sister Jude's (Jessica Lange) head and she's still locked up in the asylum? Maybe it's all Pepper's dream, since she is the only cast member who looks the same as previous seasons? Either way, it's a fantastic show and this season is proving to be a great one so far! |
