The couple having the picnic scene reminded me of Zodiac. :worry:

Grace Gummer really needs to be a regular on this show. She deserves better than feminist witch and bad-girl candy-striper. Maybe then Meryl could make an appearance:love:

I agree with this entirely :love:

"By far the most freakish thing of all tonight was your pathetic attempt at singing"

I honestly wasn't expecting that at all, well the story with the Freaks. They're gonna be loveable little bastards... and lord, Evan's character... I gotta say it's a major step up from the last 3 guys he played.

Twisty the mutha****in clown... Again, I had no idea what I expected of him but he didn't let me down one bit. That bitch can kill. :joker:

Btw, the episode is already on torrents.

I have hope. One thing I've learned from AHS trailers is that they're always misleading.

Watching now :flutter:

Kinda underwhelmed, Best bit was Elsa singing Life On Mars :flutter:

Best bit was Frances Conroy destroying her.

But seriously, Paulson as those twins was a lot better than I expected. Love it.

I liked it. The clown is terrifying and Evan Peters has finally been given an interesting character after being stuck playing the love interest for two seasons. The only problem I have with it so far is that there's not really much going on in terms of story, they spent all episode introducing characters but forgot to include an overall plot.

Isn't the plot that Elsa and her gang are trying to get the show to be a success so they can stay on the land longer than a month? With her "headliners" being the twins?

Then you have the clown serial killer. :laugh:

I wouldn't say that either plotline is strong at the moment. The clown stuff is great but he'll lose the creepy factor once we get used to him. Unless they kickstart something next episode there's not really a strong foundation for the story to go anywhere yet.

It's visually strong and intriguing and I enjoyed it but they really need to inject more story into it.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let’s start with the opening credits. They’re animated this year. What made you want to switch it up?

There’s a lot of startling imagery in them. There’s a lot of clues. A lot of goodies in them for the fans like things that are going to be happening. Like when you watch the Coven titles and you watch all 13 episodes of Coven, you’re like “That makes sense.”
- Interesting. Now I wanna rewatch the intro.

The first episode really zeroes in on Elsa, Jimmy and the twins. Are they what the focus of the season will be?

So the first one is about Elsa and Bette and Dot and Jimmy. Then the second one you spend a lot of time with Kathy Bates and Chilies and Angela Bassett. Then in the third one you meet Emma Roberts and Denis O’Hare. That’s when the story coalesces. It’s a slower rollout than we’ve ever done.

Twisty might be one of the scariest creations you guys have done. Who came up with him?

You see the bottom part of his face in episode two. But in episode four we spend a lot of time with that and you see it more and you learn what is going on with him and it’s really awful and scary.

Will we eventually understand his end game?

Yeah you will find out very early on, like why is he collecting children in the school bus?

And at the end he sees the freak show troupe disposing of the cop’s body. Will he hold that over them?

Well yeah. All I’ll say about that is Twisty is not to be trusted. He’s specifically plotting something and you find out why he’s doing what he’s doing.

He seems to not like the freak show and we’ll find out why?

Oh yeah. He hates them.

And then Grace Gummer returns after being in Coven. Is that character going to recur?

Oh yes. I love her. She’s very talented. The Peppermint Girl comes back. I’m not going to say for good or for bad.

Dandy and Gloria Mott are the opposite end of the spectrum. She seems a little too attached and he seems like a grown child.

Well that’s our homage to “What would Norman Bates have been like if he lived in Florida?” He’s a boy who was born into great life and privilege and on the outside has it all but on the inside he feels like a freak. So he wants to be somewhere where he fits in. So when he’s not allowed to, he becomes dark and murderous. I love all those scenes that Franny and Finn have together. It’s fun to rich those rich, pampered people who are on the outside are so beautiful but on the inside are the biggest monsters of them all.

Elsa sings Bowie’s “Life on Mars” at the end. So there will be modern music this season?

Well we don’t do a lot of them this season. Maybe we only have five numbers. I love what he does with his movies like Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge where you don’t play period stuff, you do stuff from all eras that fit the story. So we decided we only were going to highlight musical artists who at some point in their career had identified themselves as feeling like freaks or misfits or outcasts, which our people are going through. That’s why we do David Bowie, Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey, Kurt Cobain. We do people who sort of have the same feelings as our characters do.

The big reveal at the end is that Elsa has no legs. When will we learn what happened?

There’s an episode coming up where you get her backstory but then as we go on you get more and more backstories.

Does it involve her being in Germany during the war?

No. We’re not doing any war thing at all.

Are they gonna be like Bonnie & Clyde?

Well let it suffice to say that Dandy becomes Twisty’s apprentice.

[Matt Bomer] Is he part of the freak show?

Mmm I don’t wanna say too much because I think if I say one thing it will give it away. But it’s something Matt has never played before, which was interesting for him.

Has there been more talk of Neil Patrick Harris coming on?

Yeah I spoke to Neil last week. He sort of had an idea of what he wanted to do, and I had an idea that he liked.

I’m guessing Gabourey Sidibe is later since you told me her character arrives after her mother, Patti LaBelle, goes MIA?

Yeah, she comes later for, like, three episodes.

And have you figured out season 5?

Yes, I have figured it out. I’m already meeting with actors about asking them to play roles.

Can you say anything about it?

Noooooooo! But there are clues in the first two episodes because I figured out season 5 very early on and I know that the fans love that. So there are clues that are dropped.

Dandy becoming Twisty's apprentice ;o

death @ gabs only being in 3 eps
