American Horror Story Season Two

[EVILFACE]

Yea, I rolled at that cab scene.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

I've seen none of this, but learned Ian McShane is involved, without spoiling anything can someone elaborate on his role, is he a central character?

It was short and sweet. This is all you need to know about this maniacal character......

Loved Ian McShane in the role of Santa....

 

[JonWes]

Favorite line...

"I'm tough... but I'm no cookie."

I used to not like Sister Jude - but man, I sure feel sorry for her now. She's the last one left in that hell hole.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Season finale tonight.

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

Yup, should be interesting to say the least.

 

[user 6734]

will see how they let this end...

 

[316what]

My prediction

Spoiler

Some will like it and others will hate it. Those that hate it will be much more vocal in their displeasure than those who liked it.

That's how this board works...lol.

 

[316what]

So what did everyone think?

I thought everything was wrapped up nicely without dwelling on one thing too long. The aliens storyline was the least gratifying because there really wasn't much meat to it....it was more of a plot device versus actual storyline.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

It was much more melancholy and sentimental than I was expecting, but I liked it.

So none of the story we watched actually happened? Doesn't that mean Kit goes down for the murders, Bloody Face is still active, the experiments still go on, and the demon still possesses the nun? No one turns out ok but Lana...

Uh... what? Why do you think that?

For me, I thought it was such a satisfying finale. I never thought AHS would actually make me tear up a little.

Lana Winters, Kit and Jude were definitely some amazing characters and I thought the various ends of their stories here were great.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

I thought the finale did justice to this season. It was more sentimental than I thought with the way Kit and Sister Jude went out.

So which season did you like better? This one or last season?

Spoiler

What was the last scene with Jude and Lana about? Wasn't it the same as the first episode, but instead of pursuing the story Lana decides to leave? I may have misinterpreted it.

Hmmm... I didn't catch that, to be honest.

Spoiler

I suppose it's possible they were showing what "really happened" but they could also just be showing what a difference Lana's ambition made (in a good way, ultimately) even as Jude is warning against it. I'd say if Lana had left then NOTHING we saw came true, including future Lana and her confrontation with her son.

Hmmmm...now I don't know what to think. I thought

Spoiler

that it was more to emphasize the line that if you look evil in the face, it will look right back at you...which is what Lana had done with Bloody Face and her son. But I suppose it could mean that none of what we saw in the season actually happened...but I see that as a very remote possibility.

I wish they would have showed more of the alien storyline as well...but was very pleased by the ending and how the main character's stories were wrapped up. I was glad that Lana killed her son...even if he was feeling some remorse or questioning his previous actions to try and make his father proud, I think it was just a momentary set back and he probably would have still tried to kill her in the end. I wonder if the aliens will come for Kit's kids when it's their time to pass...or if their primary interest was only in Kit.

I read somewhere today that Sarah Paulson has agreed to be in the next season. I wonder what other actors we will see again.

Spoiler

Lana did leave after she first visited Briarcliff, remember? She left and someone told her about the secret tunnel and that's how she got caught, since she came back at night. It was just showing that the conversation at the beginning of the season foreshadowed what happened later

Spoiler

The alien stuff really didn't work, they shouldn't have had that as part of the story, and I think they kind of lost the horror part, none of it was scary, horror for this is more of a disgust rather than fear. Theyh did wrap it up pretty well, good ending for Jude and it was awesome Lana had no problem manipulating Johnny and then just shooting him.

That's how I remembered it! That's why I thought the ending was just sort of a book end thematically. But it had been a long time since I'd seen the first episode.

American Horror Story: Asylum wraps up its brilliant second season tonight but co-creator Ryan Murphy is already planning out the third installment of his FX mini-series: EW has learned exclusively that season 1 star Taissa Farmiga (Higher Ground) is in talks to rejoin the series for season 3. Farmiga, who played the troubled teen Violet, would be one of the leads of AHS‘ very secretive third go-round and would join fellow alums Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters.

Explains Murphy “I missed her this season. There wasn’t really a role for her. I feel very protective of her and I didn’t want her to go back into the loony bin—it was too dark. So I thought well ‘I want Taissa to be one of the leads next year.’ I called her up and pitched her the character for the season and she loved it and she said, ‘Yes let’s do it.’ So we’re in negotiations for her to headline season 3.”

Murphy told EW previously that he missed the Violet/Tate storyline from the first season and wanted season three to have more romance; Farmiga’s character will be involved in that part of AHS 3 which Murphy hopes to shoot in three different cities.
