Asylum is the better season because the writers realized that the show is a hot mess and decided to run with it.
Yeah but at the same time I am actually quite shocked to find that so many people seem to prefer the first season as well..
Are they ever going to pick up the story from the end of season 1? Thought the murderous baby story had potential.

Ryan Murphy mentioned that he would like to revisit that storyline at some point, but he said this just after season 1 ended so I have no idea if that's still in the cards.
Me too! Season one was almost unbearably awful. The actors had no idea what to do with the material they were given and the overall tone was much too serious.
I question whether this is still the plan. It might be nice to do a series when Lange has left the series (I actually don't want that to ever happen but the way she talks about it at the end of each year makes me think it's tiring for her) and have the BIG REVEAL at the end of the series to be that it was linked to Season 1.
But I do wonder whether they planned from the beginning for it to be an ongoing series, or if they just decided last minute to make it an anthology series.
Any season that has Dylan McDermott tearjerking/crysturbating can't be truly awful

There's something so campy? drag-like? I don't know how to describe it. There's this weird, non-sexual gay stylization to the series that seemed so deep rooted in diva subculture. Everything about that last trailer was just so flamboyant and precise, especially that ending.
It's not a complaint at all, just an observation, especially when juxtaposed with more sterile broadcast series with insipid art direction. When I imagine the type of show Bravo would want to create when they get into scripted, American Horror Story seems exactly what they should be doing.

It's from the creator of Nip/Tuck and Glee, if that helps in your thoughts?![]()
No, I mean, I know who created it. It was just a comment on its more unbridled flamboyance, decadence, and gayness. It's a compliment to its unique style that doesn't really exist in scripted television.
Sara Paulson is devoid of flaws, lbr.
I'm still waiting for them to reference American Gothic.
Is that worth watching?
I think I may like this season the best. I am nuts about anything brimming with occult/witchcraft lore for some odd reason. The setting, the premise just sounds so fantastic. Just hope it's beautifully shot and designed like the second season. The first wasn't quite as interesting in that regard.
Teaser 6 was fucking great, btw. The imagery, *drool*

Jessica Lange asked for this and I'm thankful Ryan Murphy gave her it.
Ah, the rat dog thing. I wonder what became of it.
Is that Russell from True Blood?
I can't stop watching that latest promo. I'm in love with the song and general vibe.
Please let it carry over.
I don't think any season of this show will top Asylum for me.... It doesn't get any better than that.Nazis, aliens, insane asylum, the devil (?)
Angela Bassett, Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates as witches make the chances pretty good, though.I don't think any season of this show will top Asylum for me.... It doesn't get any better than that.Nazis, aliens, insane asylum, the devil (?)

I get the "vibe" you were talking about from Nip/Tuck too, so I thought that might be what you were getting out. Particularly the later seasons.
I still have to see Asylum (come on Netflix) but I'm assuming with how loosely they're connected I should be fine jumping in here?
