American Horror Story

[Keebler Elf]

So I just finished watching the season 2 finale and I must say I was disappointed with the second season. Season 1 was WAY better. I think the first one being a true ghost story was much more interesting than the insanity-themed (and very unfocused--the alien story angle was completely unnecessary) second season. I also didn't really give a shit about the characters in season 2; the highlight was the first episode (always a bad sign) when the hot chick is talking about getting fucked in the ass and blowing Adam Levine. It was all downhill from there! lol

Hopefully season 3 (which has now been confirmed) will right the ship and take us back to the original (successful) formula.

EDIT: Just found this about season 3 and it sounds like the message is getting across:

As "American Horror Story" fans already know, Murphy explained that next season would feature a "Romeo and Juliet youth story." Viewers were sucked into the tragic tale of Tate and Violet in the season one Murder House, and Murphy said that their type of story is something that he missed about the season two "Asylum."

I also enjoyed season 1 much more, but I appreciated season 2 as it was different than anything else on tv. True about the aliens, it's almost as if they made things up as they went along, whereas season 1 seemed full written from the very beginning. *SPOILER ALERT* I was disappointed that Chloe Sevigny was killed off so early, I was expecting her to be a main character, especially after seeing the previews with her lying on the table in black stockings.

Too much rape in season 2 for my liking.

Also, haven't finished season 2 yet but too many different elements/types of horror being mashed together.

I gave up on season 2 after three episodes.
