I'm still not positive about what the theme is.

15 Thoughts While Watching the AHS Season Six Premier
Static

The highly anticipated premier of season six of American Horror Story is finally here and honestly I have a lot of thoughts about it. As you may know, the theme of this season was kept secret until the premier. Ryan Murphy, the twisted genius behind AHS, Glee, The Normal Heart, and many other incredible works, released several fake trailers for this season. It was revealed during season four of AHS that all of the seasons are connected and those connections will begin to come to light in the next season. So with all of these factors, to say that immense anticipation was building for this season premier would be an understatement. We are only one episode into the season, but I already have a lot of thoughts about what I saw. SPOILERS AHEAD (obviously).

1. Where is the overly creepy title sequence??

All American Horror Story fans will admit that the title sequence is always much scarier than the actual show. I still have nightmares about the opening to Murder House.... This season has opted for a logo before every commercial break that says "My Roanoke Nightmare." It's an interesting way that they're fully committing to the fake documentary theme, but I don't know if I like it or not yet. In the past, the opening credits have given some hints or clues to some surprises in the show, so will this season be lacking without them?

2. Wait, so Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe are technically the same person?

By season six I am definitely used to seeing returning actors in vastly different roles than previous seasons, but this one takes the cake. It took me about fifteen minutes into the episode to understand that, yes in fact, Lily Rabe's dramatized self is played by none other than Sarah Paulson. I guess this means I don't have to worry about Lily dying this season since she's also technically Sarah, right?

3. Where is Jessica Lange?

Ok, so I understand that there were no actual promises from Ryan Murphy about Jessica Lange returning, but I definitely had some hope. Jessica Lange is the queen of AHS and if the seasons all tie in together, she will have to reappear at some point in time. I will be waiting patiently for the supreme to return.

4. It is literally the first episode and there is already a pregnancy gone wrong.

Every season of AHS thus far has discussed some issue relating to pregnancy. To refresh your memory, in Murder House, Vivienne Harmon becomes pregnant with what we find out is a devil's child. The ghost of Tate Langdon impregnates her and in the final episode, this spawn of Satan is born. In Asylum, Kit Walker impregnates both his wife whom he believed was dead and also Grace who was in the asylum with him. They raise the children in an interesting family situation, but both mothers end up dead and Kit raises his children alone (also the children were conceived through the help of aliens??). In Coven, Cordelia was unable to have children even when using her magic to attempt to conceive. In Freak Show, the concept of whether or not some of the "freaks" could or should have children was heavily discussed. And finally, in season five, Lady Gaga's Countess gave birth to a vampire baby and also kept a small herd of vampire children with her in the hotel. So, will the incident in the very first episode lead to more themes of children and pregnancy in this season?

5. Are people ever going to learn to just not live in creepy abandoned homes?

If you stumble upon a creepy, but beautiful, old house that is just "calling to you," do not buy it. Just please do not do it.

6. What is the deal with this whole fake documentary thing?

I honestly haven't decided if I love or hate this layout yet. It makes the ending seemingly obvious because they must have survived for them to be making a documentary, right? Wrong. The rules of nature do not apply to Ryan Murphy. Assume nothing.

7. Who are the two women that Sarah Paulson sees in the hallway in her house?

Seeing these two ghost women definitely brings up memories from Murder House. However, all of the other spirits seen in this episode are in colonial clothing, but these women seem to be in a more modern syle of dress? I will be not so patiently awaiting answers, Ryan Murphy.

8. Where is Evan Peters?

WHERE IS HE? I NEED ANSWERS.

9. HELL NO to this whole pig thing.

We have seen another creepy pig face man in Murder House and honestly that was way too much for me to handle. I'm hoping that this will be like Twisty who started out as terrifying, but actually had a heartfelt story to his madness.

10. Angela Bassett is here and everything is ok again.

Angela Bassett has been hands down the best addition to the American Horror Story cast since the first season. Seeing her and Jessica Lange together was incredible, but even without Jessica, she steals the show.

11. I'm so glad that someone finally thought of installing cameras when weird things happened.

Wait, so a character actually did something logical in the face of danger? This is really revolutionary this early on in a season of AHS.

12. I am going to be afraid of hot tubs forever now.

Just another irrational fear that I can add to the list that Ryan Murphy has singlehandedly created. Others include blonde children, abandoned schoolhouses, and fire pokers.

13. I am also never ever going into my basement again.

Nothing good is ever in the basement, so I will stay on the first or second floor of my non-haunted house, thank you very much.

14. KATHY BATES

No one plays crazy as well as Kathy Bates plays crazy. I cannot wait to see more of crazy colonial era Kathy Bates this season. Honestly, her getting hit by a car at the end of the episode was the scariest moment of the entire thing for me. Undead Kathy Bates is definitely going to be a show stealer this season.

15. I'm too excited to see what else this season has in store!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
