She's going to be a surprise character I think, she's definitely in it though.

A review of the season opener

If this season can continue to build upon what’s set up in the first episode without deviating too far into absurd subplots, Freak Show could easily stand as Horror Story’s strongest effort yet. It’s extremely exciting to see actors who were underused or oddly cast last year get some electrifying turns this year – as the charming and tortured Jimmy Darling, champion of his band of freaks, Evan Peters is phenomenal. It’s not surprising, mind you, because his work in both Murder House and Asylum was superb

When American Horror Story returns on Wednesday there will likely be a divide among the audience: some fans call Coven their favorite season. Like I said, anthology series’ lend themselves to each season garnering a different response from different viewers. What Freak Show does so well, as Horror Story has in the past, is take the best bits of each of its previous incarnations and blend them together. Even more impressive: it stands totally on its own merits. The premiere episode is not as dark as Asylum, as sexy as Murder House or as funny as Coven – it’s entirely its own beast and in the best way possible. The atmosphere created in the first episode is one that won't soon be forgotten by audiences: breathtaking sets, haunting music, dynamic characters and a whole lot of horror.

Some spoilers

Spoiler:

- Ryan Murphy WAS NOT over-hyping the clown. While season 3 lacked any singular terrifying villain, Freak Show wastes no time letting us know how gruesome Twisty gets.
- One often-divisive-but-always-present Murphyism: a musical sequence (it works here). If you’ve ever wanted to hear Jessica Lange singing David Bowie, well, Freak Show has got that.
- The episode isn’t without comedy, either, but don’t expect the bitchiness or B-movie cheese of last year. Here the humor is either dark or used to emphasis how different the times were. Sarah Paulson has easily my favorite line of the episode as naïve, emotional Dot begs her mother to let the twins out of the house to see Singing in The Rain (“I wanna see the movie, I wanna see it now… in glorious technicolor!”)
- A last-minute twist reveals that Elsa fits in with her band of freaks more than she’s let on.

bitch is a hermaphrodite I'm calling it now

I don't think I've seen Gabourey's character in any pictures/promos but I'm sure her and Jamie will appear, probably in minor roles.

Gabourey's is playing the daughter of Patti LaBelle, who we haven't seen either?

Only a handful of the main cast appear in the first episode (which is all we've really seen promos for)

The 90-minute season opener makes the wise choice of only introducing us to a handful of its leads (Michael Chiklis and Angela Bassett don’t turn up until episode two; Denis O’Hare, Emma Roberts and Gabourey Sidibe sometime after that).

[reece(:]

perched for the whole lot of horror.

And I don't think Gabby is main cast now...

[Smithy]

Gabby is main cast, she started filming her first episode last week

More Spoilers

Spoiler:

Jimmy uses his Lobster Hands on the lucky ladies of Jupiter.

There's an Orgy, and we see Evan Peters ass again.

Elsa has a secret, something to do with her legs.

Elsa sings a David Bowie song, and it has something to do with her name. "Life On Mars"?

Freak Show is just as ****ed up and sexual as the past seasons. Has some big shocks this episode.

I knew it. Thanks to all theories on reddit.

[Smithy]

omg i can't at pepper clapping like a **** halfway through the video http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3800870681/

Also people are worried about how well the twins are gonna look in later, seeing as the series still films as it airs, and that they might cut corners to try and just get the job done quicker

Spoiler:

Jessica Lange flopping out a prosthetic penis before closing credits would win TV moment of the year!

[Smithy]

Oh, the only difference between "main star" and "special guest" is the $ they're paid, i still imagine gabby will be in the majority of the episodes like last year

Who gets more cash, the guests?

[Smithy]

Yeah I think so

That's a shame because so far they've done really well to make Bette & Dot look realistically conjoined.

There are moments where it looks questionable, like how they obviously plunk a head on Sarah's neck for behind shots, but it'll be a shame for them to "cut corners".

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i want receipts of all the fees

i can't see jessica topping the list after 4 years on the show

ange or kathy are probs top

[Jamesy]

I doubt they will cut corners. They have no doubt thought it through.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if we see a head get chopped halfway through though.. but maybe that's too obvious.
