Spoiler:

Yeah I agree with dezzy, I thought it was a really good ep, but I don't see where it can go from here, I don't see dandy as a strong enough character to be the shows main villain for another 9 episodes, I'm HOPING that the other con artist (I forgot his name) plays a bigger role, maybe kidnapping the freaks trying to kill them, with Emma Roberts help

Twisty was a bit pointless tbh...especially since he was so hyped beforehand.

I'm not up to date yet. I have one more epi to watch.

But, I'm not liking these spoilers about merging the Asylum story with this one. The timeline is all wrong, and the fact that the same actors are used just wouldn't make sense.

Also, did anyone notice the Jim Morrison reference in the LDR song Elsa was singing? Jim Morrison would be about 9 or 10 years old at that point.. so again, makes no sense.

Hate to be a nitpicker, but I'm finding this season to be a little bit tedious, so I have nothing else to do but nitpick..

I could let it slide that the song is from a different era, but when it references things that are from an era beyond the current timeline, then I just find that a bit sloppy.

I really liked the episode.

Spoiler:

another really good ep :worship:

Spoiler:

I quite liked this episode. Angela is amazing. :love:

Lmao @ Gabourey tho...her acting/role was ****. :laugh:

Spoiler:

Yes Scott :( pure evil tbh...

also jimmy needs to stfu about meep :fist:

I know :fist: I was literally saying shut the **** to the computer screen.

And lmao @ the way Emma's character said '****'. I've been saying it all day now. :laugh:

yes to everything Scott said about this episode. That whole bus scene was one giant cock-tease. And like.. Meep bit the heads off of live chickens constantly, so **** him.

Spoiler:

Thought this EP was one of the best so far, but I'm still a bit undecided on the season, I feel like Ryan Murphey just went with the idea of a freak show because at first everything seemed really creepy, but once you get over the initial shock of the "freaks" it's just a bit like watching a drama than a horror show

Spoiler:

Gabourey was the best out of all the cast

:joker: I couldn't take her character seriously at all. Gabourey trying to play posh, lmao.

"I'm feeling really uncomfortable so I'm going to go now." Lmao, I want moar of her though. I hope she kills Dandy.

Season 5 Speculation

Have people seen this?

Quote:

We're just barely into the fourth season of "American Horror Story," but fans are eagerly trying to figure out what will happen next season.

(Spoiler alert if you don't want to know even the mildest speculation about Season 5.)

Ryan Murphy has said in multiple interviews that clues regarding the fifth season are scattered throughout the first few episodes of "Freak Show." In his most recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murphy confirmed a major clue that has since set off a whole slew of theories. In Episode 4, "Edward Mordrake (Part 2)," a cop hands Emma Roberts' Maggie a coffee cup with a top hat printed on it. "That is a big season five clue!" Murphy told EW of the top hat. "It’s an arcane clue, but it’s very purposeful, and it illuminates something that you’ll be like, 'Oh! You dirty [bastard]!'"

Avid fans on Reddit have since discovered two other appearances of the same top hat this season. The first two are in Episode 2 when a close-up shows the hat on two coffee cups held by the assistant at the local toy store.

The second time the hat pops up is in the diner scene when Evan Peters' Jimmy takes the "freaks" out to eat. The top hat can be seen on the front of the restaurant menus -- it seems that all of the coffee cups are coming from what looks to be The Top Hat Diner. Let's also not forget that Edward Mordrake wears a top hat.

Redditor ace_VXIII posted a fan theory on the series' subreddit last week that seems to be the most convincing one yet. This one proposes that the top hat may signify Operation Top Hat, a "local field exercise" that occurred in Alabama in 1953, one year after the events of "Freak Show." The operation involved the United States Army Chemical Corps testing biological and chemical weapons, mustard gas, and nerve gas for decontamination. However, the experiment was never submitted to the Secretary of the Army for approval and those involved in the tests were supposedly not informed of the circumstances. This sounds like creepy, secretive "AHS" material if you ask us.

The theory suggests that if the top hats do relate to the 1953 operation, Season 5 could deal with human experimentation in addition to government conspiracies and extraterrestrials, which has also been a popular fan theory. The nuclear testing suggestion has also been supported on Reddit when users noticed the mushroom clouds behind Jimmy earlier this season and connected them to Area 51 and Mercury, Nevada, where there was nuclear testing beginning in the '50s. These theories then spurred a "Hills Have Eyes" theory about such experiments leading to mutants. Could all of these be connected in some way, and most specifically, could they relate to Pepper? Let's not forget that Pepper was abducted by aliens in Season 2, and Murphy has said that all the seasons are connected.

Many of the fan theories related to Area 51 and aliens have used (supposed) clues from "Freak Show" to predict that Season 5 will take place in space -- there's Elsa Mars' surname, the fact that she sang Bowie's "Life On Mars," and other various space-related imagery. But Murphy has outright denied those claims, saying the next season is "land-bound and takes place in the United States." Before Murphy revealed the top hat clue, he previously said all the fan theories he'd read online were wrong. We wonder what he thinks of the Operation Top Hat one.

Maybe it's set during/has flashbacks to the Civil War? I was just thinking because the top hat reminded of Abraham Lincoln and Dell called Ethel "honest Abe" but Ryan Murphy said it's cryptic or some ****. Also last year Fiona called LaLaurie "Mary Todd Lincoln" :shock:
