That's how I feel. On one hand I think don't they have originality - cum throwing scene like Silence of the Lambs, innocent person institutionalized, crazy doctor conducting experiments on the wards, etc.

Then when there is something "original" does it really have to be an alien abduction? I don't really like the mix of horror and sci-fi.

Trying to predict the plot changes here:

I think the Alien abduction is going to be what his brain remembers in place of the traumatizing event that occurred that night. And I think it was the "Mad Scientist" that actually skinned his wife.

I enjoyed it and i'm looking forward to next week's episode. I do agree that they aren't really doing anything new though, but i still find it entertaining. I think the characters are interesting enough.

I watched, I liked. the "all over the place" pace is good, it works for me. It isn't a life changing series by any means but a good tv show at the end of the day.

No McDermott and Britton this year?

i think that's part of the point (and title) of the show.....

They pay homage to classic american horror stories.

Just like last season (Rosemary's Baby obviously comes to mind)

I've watched the first four episodes. Meh. Does it get better?

IMO, not really. I still watch it, but it's just kind of a time waster.

Just got around to watching episode 1 of Asylum.

Ultimately I think we're going to get more of a 'gore-porn' season built around shock value and queasiness rather than a raw thriller.

Last season was a pretty great story that got its draw from raw tension - I think this will be more of the lowest common denominator horror than that.

It still looks decent, just different. I think the casting was a little lazy, but I understand the directors desire for a throughput.

Didn't watch 1, but I'm digging season 2 thus far.

Tate is ****ing crazy, that's why he sees aliens. The reporter woman is right.

Clearly this past episode inspired a lot of conversation.

:rolleyes:

I thought it was the worst episode of the series.

And on Halloween night! I was underwhelmed.

Still, where did that mechanical spider thing come from that was implanted in his neck?

FX’s ‘American Horror Story’ Renewed For Third Installment; Jessica Lange To Return
By NELLIE ANDREEVA Thursday November 15, 2012 @ 10:18am PST

FX has picked up a third installment of its horror anthology franchise American Horror Story with a 13-episode order. Production of the untitled new cycle of AHS will begin next summer and premiere in the fall of 2013. FX and AHS creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s are keeping mum on details about the next incarnation but announced that, like was the case with American Horror Story and American Horror Story: Asylum, many of the actors will return in different roles next year, including star Jessica Lange.

The news comes with Season 2, American Horror Story: Asylum, still on the air, headed to its conclusion on January 23. It has been a formidable demo force in the Wednesday 10 PM time period, with last night’s episode topping all broadcast networks in Adults 18-34 (2.1). Vs. last week, AHS: Asylum was up 30% in Adults 18-34 and 9% in Adults 18-49. “With American Horror Story: Asylum, Ryan and Brad have raised the bar in every way from Murder House, the first American Horror Story miniseries,” said FX president John Landgraf.

Lange won Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Emmy awards for her role as Constance Langdon in 20th Century Fox TV-produced American Horror Story. Starring as Sister Jude in AHS: Asylum, Lange will be moving to the Lead Actress category in the Golden Globe and Emmy awards this year, FX said.
