While slightly less batshit crazy than the last few episodes that was entertaining. I honestly have no idea who to trust or root for at this point. Because pretty much anyone could end up being totally crazy and or evil

I'm rooting for the hot nun. Don't care if she is possessed!

Even though what happened to Shelly was messed up, I thought it was actually pretty tame for this show. He threw acid on her face? So what? Like, I expected her ears to have switched places with her lips and her nose to be been sewn shut or something. lol

I was also sort of surprised that we didn't get any scenes set in the present day with Adam Levine's character. (who is possibly dead)

Doctor Arden made her like the people in the woods.
 
Wow, this was amazing again. That aversion therapy scene was horrifically brutal and the Anne Frank thing was just the right amount of batshit crazy that we've come to expect from AHS.

FUN RANDOM FACT

Chris Zylka was meant to play Daniel in this episode. This is the guy that is used for Lana's "therapy" by Dr. Thredson.

He reportedly rejected the role because it required him to shave his head. He was originally to be a recurring guest character with more story, however following his departure they reduced the role to what I assume will be this one-off appearance.
 
Why do people think he threw acid on Shelly's face. It seemed like she was a bit more messed up than a simple chemical burn.


i think shes going to transform into the creatures that are hidden in the yard.. didn't he say "you might live forever" when he injected that shit in her eye?

Shelley :( What a mutation she's turning into. I've been really digging this season so far. So many different storylines but I feel like it's a good balance. I feel like we're due for some sister Eunice craziness soon.

I thought the actor they cast as a young Arden was perfect. He looked exactly like I would imagine a younger Arden would look.

The "you might live forever" line might be an explanation for the modern-day Bloody Face. Not saying it's Shelly (with new legs or whatever), but one of the other experiments.
 
Honestly, where the hell are they going to go next season after this?

I was wondering about this. Maybe some kind of classic monster story? Vampires? Werewolves? I'd imagine that they're not looking to reuse concepts between series, so I'm not anticipating another haunted house story or anything like that.

Maybe they go in a more Lovecraftian direction? That would be awesome. A season long of something like "In the Mouth of Madness!"

Fuck yeah.

There's still a ton of horror stuff for them to play around with. I wouldn't worry.

I would love a Victorian era, classic gothic horror story.

Cruise ship.
Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies - Classic monster movie type stuff
Another period piece, this time further in the past. (or maybe future?! :O)
A small town.
Zombies.
End of the world.
Killer animals.

The possibilities are huge.
 
Go full out in alien horror with a big dose of Lovecraft and set it in New Mexico/Nevada.

Sexy alien horror.

Mmm, speaking of Lovecraft, I had a fantastic Lovecraftian nightmare the last time I slept that involved war, natural disasters and people submitting to severe paranoia.
Obviously non of that seemed typically Lovecraft, but it was and made perfect sense in my nightmare.
Fun.

This show is so damn good.

How the fuck did we got this far from the epic mess that was S1?

She looked like she was turning into an animal.

What is the feminine form of manimal anyway?

Nice. The past 2 episodes have eliminated my concerns about the show failing to match the ridiculousness of the first season.

While it's too early to count our chickens, I believe the shifting focus from family-oriented story (I couldn't stand the whole husband/wife and tate/violet drama of the 1st season) to crazy psychopaths increased the amount of entertainment value in the season.

BTW, the crazy but-not-so-much French chick is pretty damn cute. I thought at first she was Christina Ricci's doppelganger.
 
Just caught up on the episode. Pretty awesome. Franka is awesome as Anne Franke... loved that she seemed to be the first person to get one over on Arden (asides from the prostitute). Man, she should have blown out his other knee cap and let him crawl around like one of his creations.

I figured Kit and Grace would get together, but not this soon. Also, I figured Grace really did kill her family, but do you guys think Grace is using him now? It breaks my heart man, but I think she's twisting him around. She doesn't care if he's innocent or guilty.

The scene with Threadsen and Lana and the long-haired naked guy might actually have been one of the most disturbing ones in this show so far. There's just so much... wrong there. Anyone getting the vibe that Threadsen might be BloodyFaces? I mean, he has reason to believe that Wendy was killed by BloodyFaces, but has he gone to the cops? He thinks Kit might be innocent... but in this episode he's trying to convince him that he is crazy and to confess. Why is he trying so hard to rescue Lana but leaving Kit like this?

I like that Jude is starting to put the pieces together... but I've got a bad feeling that by the end of the season she'll be in a straitjacket herself :(

Her scene with Kit near the end of the episode was fantastic though. I think that was the first time Jude was... kind to one of the patients. It was a lovely scene and those two actors did fantastic with it.

Pepper the weird face lady is still missing. Anyone think that she'll reappear out of nowhere and somehow kill a main cast member? I got a bad feeling. I also have a bad feeling for what'll happen to Anne.

Shit, Grace is totally using Kit. This is not gonna end well.

Thredson mentioned he called the cops but they were fixated in the fact that Bloody Face was already caught.

Not sure how much of that we can believe.
