I hate to be all PMRC but there are definitely going to be kids watching that shite. You can't monitor them 24/7. If there are grown people saying it's too disturbing, imagine how it impacts a kid. Just my opinion.


Rape scenes with women are shown on tv regularly and a lot earlier than 9pm. SVU had a rape scene last season. That doesn't bother you, but this one does? Weird.

Well, to be fair, a rape scene with a giant metal spike cod piece that is killing a guy is a little different than a rape scene from SVU that was probably no nearly as long.

Yes, Mr. Straw Man. It's good that you telepathically picked up on how I'm not bothered by rape on other shows.

What a dunce.

SVU's rape scene was NOTHING like last night. In fact, Olivia wasn't actually raped. The psycho stopped because she stopped fighting. Yeah I watch SVU. They showed the actual bare-assed pounding with a spike and threw in some squishy sound effects just for fun. Not even close to be on the same level.

And yeah that was pretty rough to watch. They stayed focused on it for awhile...and it was....disturbing. But for anyone who's watched AHS from the beginning they know it's just one in a long line of sick stuff they come up.

Can you imagine the meetings of the writers for ideas for the show


"yeah I was thinking we would have this saran wrapped looking ghoul rape this drug addict in the arse with a metal spike...and the only way to make it stop is tell some mental chick I love you"


"sounds good Bob, let's go with that"

Well that was the worst 30 min. of TV I've ever watched before turning it off. Unbelievable how this show has gone from outstanding to entertaining to bad TV to completely ridiculous bullshite.

So long AHS it was nice knowin' ya.

Got to watch this tonight.

I have to give it more time but I think it will be something I tune in to from time to time. May not watch every week unless things get really good but could enjoy binging 2-3 episodes over a weekend every few weeks. Gaga wasn't horrible but she wasn't great, either. To be fair, I was paying a lot more attention to her acting since I know that isn't her thing.

I am going with the vampire theory. Plenty of allusions to that, as stated earlier. Bomer's character also made a very clear remark about hating the light. He also appeared dead at the end of the episode and my guess is that Gaga's character wanted him as her sex toy so she brings him back as a vamp.

The lady with the story about the dog is a character from season 1. In that season she sold the Murder House and had to take in the dog after the family died, so that was the dog she was referring to.

I guess for now I am most curious about who this killer guy is and what connection he has to the hotel. I assume that will be the main plot line as there wasn't much of one last night, it was more just an episode to introduce as many people as possible.

Matt Bomer was fricking great in it. I would like it if he remains a main character.

Gaga and Matt Bomer's foursome reminded me of the Woodland Critters' blood orgy

I'm not against it or saying it should be censored, but seeing the guy raped with that spike was pretty uncomfortable. I guess it was meant to be like a regular rape. Just this one you know he was getting literally impaled.

A lot of sexual scenes, kids should not watch, though I saw worse as a ten year old.
