graham4anything 2,859 Posted February 16, 2017 Ryan Murphy has announced that the new season coming up of American Horror will be the 2016 election that Russia/ Donald Trump stole from President Clinton Perhaps revive the clown to play Donald Trump (as he is the ultimate horror) and maybe entice Jessica Lange to come back and play Hillary? (or have Sarah play her) 0 Quote Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veinsineon 77,112 Posted May 25, 2017 This poor show is going downhill.....I mean do u really need to get a millennial twitter politician (who already watches the show)'s view by making the season about an ELECTION where is the genius Ryan Murphy who created Asylum. I would much rather have Return To The Coven than this shit. but i already deciphered that this season is going to be Purge Themed so ig it'll be somewhat more exciting than last seasons mess. I'll probably only watch it to see what Billie Lourd does 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterSThompson 4,646 Posted May 25, 2017 I like the idea of making the new season about the horror of the outcome of an unfair and tumultuous election but I'm pretty sure Ryan Murphy said there's going to be an actual Clinton/Trump. That's just corny. It'd be cool if they just loosely based a season off of 2016, but dear God, not the exact same premise? I just can't see how this can be good... 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably only watch it to see what Billie Lourd does Yeah Billie Lourd is the thing I'm most excited for too, so far this season sounds so blah... of course if they announce Lily Rabe's return I'll be a little more excited because I love her... But I don't have high hopes for this season at all! I just wish they'd do a season that doesn't try to be clever or edgy, just go all in on the HORROR that's all I want 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veinsineon 77,112 Posted May 25, 2017 Yeah Billie Lourd is the thing I'm most excited for too, so far this season sounds so blah... of course if they announce Lily Rabe's return I'll be a little more excited because I love her...

I just wish they'd do a season that doesn't try to be clever or edgy, just go all in on the HORROR that's all I want Freakshow was terrible but Hotel was STUNNING. The Art Deco style really fit well. I think its just Freakshow was a little mediocre for my taste and i didnt like how all the good characters die at the end. I loved that transgender woman, i forgot her name, and how she almost killed that bitch but then he got a cheap shot on her. Also loved that really heavy set woman, hope they all come back. She probably wont because shes busy doing This Is Us which is another great show if i may add. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, Freakshow is for sure my least favourite season! I feel like Ryan Murphy is good at setting up interesting plots but he doesn't seem as good at ending them successfully without resorting to the cheap "lets just kill everyone" tactic? Personally, I haven't loved an entire season since the first two, and I'd love for Season 7 to change that but I'm not hopeful? They have such amazing talent in the cast as well, and some really great moments, I just want a whole season that gives the cast something great to work with and keeps the audience hooked and on edge from beginning to end, you know? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he tried that with Roanoke but he lost himself in the script writing and he saw his views plummeting because of that horrible first person camera experience (which is WELL past played out in cinema ) so he just came up with a *very terrible* way to end the season early. Hence the 10 episode season. Asylum will forever be his best and well written season. I really love the alien theme and i thought he would continue it with Roanoke I hope that he leaves Aliens out of this season because I'd hate to see them done dirty by such a horrible theme of Elections and maybe a purge 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah I totally agree now you've mentioned it, a purge type theme is probably exactly what we'll get 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veinsineon 77,112 Posted May 26, 2017 Didn't he say that the election is only the first scene, and that it's about what happens after the election? that doesnt change the fact that the theme revolves around an election i mean if the election if whats caused everything after it than thats the theme. an election. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm okay if we have creepier aliens though. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think if the aliens were the main focus/main source of horror then it could make for a season that is actually scary! In season 2 they were in there on top of all the other horror stuff, I'd love to see a season primarily concerned with some kind of extraterrestrial horror! I feel like they could pull it off if they go into writing it with the right intentions? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veinsineon 77,112 Posted May 26, 2017 I think the extraterrestrial theme was done poorly in Season 2. I'm okay if we have creepier aliens though. Really? I thought they were incorporated perfectly in ties to the theory of the Nazis being in contact with them, thus giving us the Doctor who is a former Nazi ! And also how they *re-program* certain aspects about people throughout the season so it's not so boring. Like giving Pepper intelligence or keeping Kit's first wife alive and also abducting Kit at the end I'm interested to know why you don't like it Yeah I think if the aliens were the main focus/main source of horror then it could make for a season that is actually scary!

I feel like they could pull it off if they go into writing it with the right intentions? I would too, I remember last year when everyone thought that's what it would be because of the farm and the crop circle trailer. @RyanMurphy #JusticeForAnAlienThemedSeason 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was praying for a creepy alien story set on an isolated farm house! The setting for Roanoke, like the house in the middle of the woods, to me would be perfect for an alien story! Maybe add in a few ppl camping out in the woods if they're looking for more casting options than the occupants of the house etc? #JusticeForAnAlienThemedSeason indeed!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he said the series begins on election night, but something horrible (non-political) happens as everyone awaits the results 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
