(Can you tell I don't really care about this season? I don't. It's just tradition I make the thread. Let's hope I'll be pleasantly surprised.)

I need to watch this tonight.
As I always say, I am always cautiously optimistic about this show.
The pilot was actually really, really, REALLY good. It gave me nightmares.
We're off to the typical good start. It makes me concerned.
Same, honestly.
I'll give them this, though: it's the first time since season 2 that the show has been legitimately scary at times. Let's hope this is a return to form.
Also, it's refreshing not to have Jessica Lange around. I love her, but every single one of her characters are exactly the same.
Yeah, some of it was a bit freaky. But. Reasonable start. We'll see how it goes. Lady Gaga wasn't even terrible or anything (not that I expect her to be, she is eternally fabulous)!
You know, I love the aesthetic of the hotel. So 20s.
Interesting start. All sorts of smurfed up weird trout which is nice to see. Not keen on vampires but whatever, we'll see. Sarah Paulson doing her best Helena Bonham Carter in Fight Club impression.No, because the last one was the exactly the same but German.
I'm not entirely sure that they're vampires. Lady was walking in the sun.
Different mythologies have different rules for "vampires".
I think the creators said that she wasn't a vampire, but simply a blood drinker. Which in my book is basically a vampire without the mythology attached to it. Maybe she'll pull what Dandy did last season and bathe in the blood for the illusion of eternal youth. There has to be something supernatural going on, though. (SPOILER)Otherwise how do you explain Sally being alive after she was pushed through the window
I've liked every season so far, but I think Sam's right. This so far is the first season since Asylum which I would classify as fitting the title of horror. Coven and Freakshow were definitely creepy in their own right, very macabre and at times unsettling, but now we're getting back into "holy crap should I watch this with my hands in front of my face" territory.
I thought the first episode was really good. It's refreshing to see Sarah Paulson as a villain and i'm interested to see what's up with the kidnapped children. Seeing them run around the halls and vanishing had to be a homage to The Shining.
Also, I really dig the white room with tetris and donkey kong playing on the walls.
Are we spoiler tagging stuff that happens or should the title just be changed to the usual -spoilers for aired episodes-?
EDIT: I just found out the realtor in the first episode was the same realtor from season 1 Murder House. After all this time I forgot what she looked like.

Tried watching this and turned it off after the orgy bit. Too mic high fashion horror and I just couldn't be arsed. May go back to it at some point though.
I'm a massive fan of The Shining, which this season seems to be heavily borrowing from. So I enjoyed the premiere and am looking forward to the next ep.
Gotta agree with Night Fury tho, that foursome scene went on too long. GaGa is definitely the weak link for me. Every scene that focused on her I lost interest in.
I've never watched any of the previous seasons, but watched episode one last night. I wanted to see how many parallels there were between the show and real-life hotel drama.
We will be watching more.
Anyone still watching? I find it a bit hit and miss. I like Mr March and his scatter brained maid, and his voice is pure liquid honey. Serial killer dinner party was dumb, though. I like the Lowes too, a bit, I guess. They're okay. The Lady Gaga vampire bit is mehhhhhhhhh. Oh, and the soundtrack for the show is top notch.
