Happy viewing tonight to my brave American Horror Story:Roanoke viewers. Y’all are some of my favorite people and I feel like I am missing out. But y’all know I am a fraidy cat and a bit fragile, so I’ll just be happy that y’all are happy!
The above picture would me me, all alone in the semi dark while Banjo sleeps. I do like that bowl and pitcher though.
Y’all have fun!
TY TT!!!
This is the discussion post for episode 6.
Tonight EVERYTHING will change! There is some story twist tonight according to Ryan Murphy. Why does he do that? Why announce/promote a shocking surprising twist? Wouldn’t it be better to surprise & stun the audience? Or is it a way to make sure viewers tune in for a ratings high? Either way I am very excited to see where this story goes tonight.
I can’t wait either and I can’t figure out where we go from last week but I’ll be watching!
I totally agree, UF, which brings me to my next point. It is 3:00am and I just finished the show.. why would he tell us that everyone is going to die in the next 3 days except one? I would ratner not know that. It was really good tonight, really good. Now I hooked but I wish I didnt know how it ends!!
I was thinking the same thing why tell us up front that all but one would die, which to me is kind of like the way they narrated the first five episodes in a way you knew who survives in advance.
But then I started wondering who that one person is going to be, and really right about now I’d like to slap him in the back of the head ’cause it’s running around in my brain housing group like a poor schlep who accidentally overdosed on Redbull.
I think the show is setting us viewers up for another big twist reveal by telling us everyone dies except 1. Then at the end of the season I suspect everything we as viewers have seen is manipulation by the network/tv producers to create a show that is reported to be based on real events, but in fact all of it is fake…except for the Legend of The Lost Colony. I don’t what the fuck I’m talking about anymore. Everything is so uber meta I can’t even process.
Makes you wanna punch ’em in the face don’t it?! ;0)
Thanks TT, Cant wait for tonights episode, and hear everyone elses thoughts!
I did so poorly on my interpretation of events last week, I’m going to do better this week if I have to rematch in slow motion. So excited for this episode, RM promises it will deliver!
I didn’t know where they would go after last week either. I usually don’t watch this until the next day when it’s nice and sunny outside. But I’m watching it tonight and I’m about to crap my pants bc it’s so scary.
*because
Episode was phenomenal. Ryan is showcasing acting rather than over the top antics. I think the twist is that the production is actually setting up the murders on the house.
I thought of this, too, but is it too obvious?? I dunno.
Hmmmm A show about a show doing a sequel to a show. Y’all follow?
Interestingly enough this twist about a TV show portraying a Paranormal show doing a reality show sequel may be Ryan Murphy’s indictment on the reality show genre.
It’s like the horror version of “Unreal”.
Never in a million years would I expect Big Brother to be mentioned in American Horror Story. My two worlds collided tonight.
Yep, ala lost footage all dead, Blair Witch style.
Who do you think is the one cast member that lives?
I think it’s the real Lee.
I agree with this. But just when I think I have it figured out they throw more twists in.
Lee is a good guess but remember Sarah Paulson is usually the last one standing at seasons end.
Why Lee?
I think Lee might have psychic abilities but she is not aware of it yet. Her daughter Flora was able to see/communicate Priscilla. Sometimes a child inherits that gift from a parent. Only a guess on my part, but I do agree with Marc’s comment too.
Angela Bassett directed this episode.
This season is really good and it’s really starting to scare the crap out of me. I actually plugged a night light in my room so I can sleep tonight. I dont scare easily either. Lol!
Right after the show was over I had to go outside in the dark to drag the trash can to the curb. I was spooked to say the least.
Gah! No way. I’m hunkered under my blankie. You are brave. Lol!
Those killed in compliance with the Red Moon and The Butcher will return.
I saw what you did there Ryan Murphy what that obscure Jessica Lange reference when Mary Tyrome was mentioned. After AHSFreakShow Jessica portrayed her on Broadway. DONT FUCK WITH US LIKE THAT RYAN MURPHY!
Wha! I didn’t catch that. Good spot Urethra!
Because of this there are rumors (wishful thinking) that Jessica Lange will make a surprise appearance as The Butcher. Remember up until now we have only seen Kathy Bates acting as The Butcher. We have yet to see the ghost of the real Butcher/Tomasyn White.
Of course I enjoyed tonight’s show as a whole, but nothing groundbreaking happened. The concept of TV producers putting cameras in a “haunted house” has been done before —–>>> Paranormal Activity movie series.
As usual Kathy Bates was BRILLIANT tonight as she switched from Agnes to The Butcher. Is it too easy to theorize that Agnes is possessed by The Butcher?
Kathy Bates’ accent as The Butcher is fantastic but unfortunately I think Sarah Paulson’s British accent as Audrey is awful and inconsistent.
I immediately thought it would Matt left at the end. Because of the wood nymph’s desire for him. And again it was he who saw the “R” for Rory. I am bummed that Evan Peters was the first to die. Hopefully he’ll return like Mason did.
I agree with this. I think too Matt will survive.
It is good twist on what the show generally does. Also good statement regarding reality shows with the cashing in & people becoming invested in the reality “characters”. Definitely perked the series up so far.
Was the fact that Chaz Bono was the officiant at Sarah Paulsons wedding a sign that the inbred boys live on today?
Chaz Bono’s character is not really one of the Polk brothers, but he is one of the actors doing the re-enactment for the TV show “My Roanoke Nightmare”.
No one we’ve seen so far is the real them. They’re all actors playing the actors playing them. Which is why the nurses who killed Evan Peters looked different. They weren’t the actors; they were the real ghosts. I love all this meta.
Okay I’m dying because I haven’t watched it yet !! I was watching the debate and debate coverage, so I looked for the last showing and it’s at 1:00am, in 20 minutes !! I will be watching and I shall return promptly afterwards! I haven’t even read comments because I don’t want spoilers.. I know tonight is the night it’s supposed to be great!!
I can’t wait to see it! I’m home alone and not watching it by myself!!
I don’t usually watch the show in my bedroom (scaredy cat) but delayed in watching. Screamed my head off during one scene and scared the crap out of all my animals in bed with me! lol
By the end of this I’m certain that there will be a significant connection to Coven.
According to internet rumor this season is supposed to tie all of the previous seasons together somehow. Don’t know if it’s true but it’s intriguing.
It will take us back to Coven. Gaga is the original Supreme from an article I read by Murphy. Last night was so good! What a concept. They are all shows within a show of a true reality. Fascinating.
Cannot get enough.
I’m alone and super spooked! I was trying to get the dog inside and our house backs up to a wooded area, and he was at the very back and I was trying to bring him in and I heard rustling ( it is usually deer) and I left his dumb ass and Ran inside. My body is still in shock over the running. However, this morning I woke up and found one of my bed pillows in the bathroom, which means I was sleepwalking again, but it was scary to find it in the bathroom. I am not sure why I am so scared this time? I also think Matt will be left.
This was episode 6 out of 10 for the season with each show being exactly one hour. I can’t believe the season is more than half lover? I feel so cheated because the past seasons were 12-13 episodes with some shows being more than an hour long.
YES I was thinking that! I loved when Hotel would run over time.. and last night was the first night that I didnt want the episode to end! Why are we only getting 10 shows ?
I have a feeling we might get a spring & fall season of AHS next year.
Did y’all notice the Apartment # near the door where Agnes/Kathy Bates was doing her interview?
It was Apt # 1587 which is the same year that the Colony disappeared!!!!!!!!!!!
UF you blow my mind with the things you notice! YOU should be a detective seriously. Hell no, I didnt notice that !! I’m still trying to figure out how Pig Boy got inside girl’s car when she was stopped for 3 seconds !!!
Did y’all notice the artwork on the wall at the Network offices?
Around the 25 minute mark –it’s the scene where Sidney & the network execs are talking and behind them there are black & white images lined all the way down the wall. Those images seem to represent the Roanoke Lost Colony.
I absolutely love you, UF!!
LOL I noticed UF when I was doing my recap and I figured you would probably know the answer. The specific one I was looking at was behind the lawyer when he and Diana were discussing the liabilities of Monet drinking vs Lee murdering. Do you happen to know that one? (My recap is already turned in but they haven’t posted it yet)
Hey P&V! Yes I noticed it too but I really don’t know anything about the art. Only 2 of the art pieces were visibly on cam. One looked like an empty campsite & the other one had a candle on a table with men in clothing that I don’t really recognize but could be settler attire or maybe even clothing that was made out of hide but not Native American. I thought maybe there might be some clues or foreshadowing in them….
After some thought it may not be much of a big deal after all because Networks always have images of their shows on the walls.
I hope the producer ends up being one of the victims.
Me too! I feel stupid asking but has detective John from Hotel been on this season yet?? John, the serial killer with dual persona last year, is he on this year? UF, how did pig boy get into the car
Yes that is Wes Bentley & he has made an appearance. So far we’ve seen him as Ambrose, The Butcher’s son but only as an actor re-enacting scenes for the show “My Roanoke Nightmare”.
For know I assume Pig Boy is something supernatural. He can get into anything that is on the sacred land.
Okay,,so it’s no one wearing a pig costume – it’s supernatural. I wasn’t sure. Also, I know Agnes is cray and all, but I elieved her when she said that she didn’t position the circle of piglets . She sounded genuine, but maybe she did? Or maybe pig boy did?
Evan is already dead and he was only in two epi’s?! NOOOOOO!!!
Oh good God!! I’m def going to have to rewatch this epi tomorrow at work in order to catch everything that UF mentioned bcuz I’ve obviously missed a lot
I couldn’t get thru Hotel cause it creeped me out so much but so far I’m not getting spooked by this like so many of y’all are…hmmm. I wonder why?

Loved that! Thanks TT.
I watched the episode again tonight. Audrey (Sarah Paulson) mentioned that she won a Saturn award and that Agnes showed up outside her house with a knife to steal it.
So then I started thinking about if there was a connection to the Blood Moon & Saturn because they both are planetary. The Blood Moon is the first moon after the Harvest Moon, and in Greek Mythology Saturn is the God of many things including wealth, abundance, and agriculture (harvests). This has got to be something deliberate to the story.
….OOOOH I forgot Freak Show was set in JUPITER! Other than the obvious use of names of planets I’m too dumb & tired to conclude any intellectual connection until we see more seasons of AHS where the BIG PICTURE of everything as whole connects together somehow.
Don’t forget Elsa MARS! 😀
I’m sensing a pattern…
I’m just ever so quietly going to put this out into the universe starting here: I really don’t like Gaga on the show. Her acting, I realize now, is the reason I couldn’t get through last season, still haven’t, and while I find myself paying far less attention to the scenes which feature her character, it means I frequently have to watch more than once because otherwise I miss key elements. So far this season her scenes have been really poorly acted, and to be fair about it probably poorly directed as well, but I’m still enjoying this show because the rest of the characters are doing an excellent job of it.
Angela Bassett is a perennial favorite, and Kathy Bates is just knocking this season on its ass she’s so freakin horribly good, or good horribly which every makes the most sense to you. Sarah Paulson’s acting has been pretty good so far as well. Frances Conroy’s Momma Polk rendition has me wanting to scream BALENCIAGA she’s so good in that role.
Leslie Jordan, just awesome, I hated the way he was introduced with the pay to play aspect of his character, but he worked out really well. And speaking of which why do all of the gay characters everywhere always have to die horribly gruesome deaths on TV and movies? Can’t they just be shot and be done with like all the straight characters, or in this case get a meat clever to the frontal lobe? As a gay man it’s always been dissettling how frequently extra gruesome physical treatment and deaths await gay characters on TV and movies.
(Wonky, I think Gaga’s a terrible actress, too. I struggled thru her performance in Hotel so I’m glad her part has been smaller this season. So far. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.)
I still don’t understand how Gaga won an award last year. My apologies, but I think she’s a horrible actress.
I agree with you & the few others. Cannot stand Gaga & believe the main reason she won is her character was supposed to be controlled & unemotional. Her wooden performance fitted that particular character though I would had rather seen a number of other talented actresses instead. She sticks out more now by not being in that of role surrounded by people can act.
I’m thinking that the burnt lady that briefly appeared behind Lee in the hallway might be The Butcher post fire, maybe? Where are the actors that played the Polk’s? I need more Francis Conroy. And more Denis O’Hare.
Mary Mary that was Lee’s husband Mason, the one she was accused of burning/killing in the woods.
Oh, totally missed that, thanks!
Ryan Murphy has confirmed that Lady Gaga’s witch in the woods character in the current season of American Horror Story IS the original Supreme and the powers of the witches in AHS Coven come from her. Murphy said he will revisit Coven and explore the history of the original Supreme witch and her descendants—this means we will probably get to see Angela Bassett as Marie LaVeau again since she was alive for over 300 years and most likely crossed paths with the original Supreme at some point in the past. AHS season 7 is already planned out so we won’t have a season about the Supreme witch until maybe season 8 (2018).
Yay, we will get to witness more of Gaga’s poor acting skills. Am I virtually alone with my feelings that she’s a horrible actress? I can’t act, and I could give a more convincing performance.
I want Leslie Jordan to come back as the actor who played Cricket! He could join them in the house. I couldn’t get enough of his character and they killed him off too quickly.
Ryan now remember Leslie Jordan was an actor that re-acted scenes as Cricket for the show “My Roanoke Nightmare”. He’s not the real Cricket. He’s not dead as far as we know.
@UrethaFranklin, your detective skills are off the charts and thank you!!
@Psi great information!
Ryan Murphy is an evil genius.
Does anyone think that Jessica Lange will cameo as the real butcher ?
That is strong rumor for the past few days, but I don’t think she’ll do it.
