The
American Horror Story Asylum premiere sure made an awesome birthday present.
The only way it could’ve been better is if The Walking Dead also premiered, but
I’ll take that premiere as an early present. So I thought I would put together
a few thoughts about last night’s premiere, and give a chance for any of you to
share your thoughts.
I guess I could just say “Bloody Face,”
and end this right here. Last season’s mystery character was the man in the
rubber suit, and now it looks like Bloody Face will be his replacement… not
bad. He certainly is creepy looking. Since we saw him in the present, I guess
the mystery is who from the past is he, and why is he still there in the
present?
I liked that they opened in the
present. It gave a little perspective, including the info the newlyweds just
happened to share with us like the death chutes (definitely what to know more
about them). I do wonder if that is all of the present we will get to see since
it appears the couple didn’t make it. And how about those opening credits? Now
that is the way to get a show started. I actually watched them a few times just
to soak in all the craziness.
The last thing I thought I would’ve
seen last night is an alien. I know AHSA is suppose to be insane and all, but I
didn’t think they would go there. Apparently that isn’t the end of it either
since that little chip stood up and walked away. It’s still hard to think about
aliens on this show, but ok. It’s also hard to think of a bakery in an asylum.
Are they actually selling baked goods, or is that for the patients? I sure as
hell want nothing from the asylum’s bakery!
Wow, Jessica Lang is good! One of the
best moves they made was bringing her back. I guess after her award winning
performance last season that was an easy decision. She puts on such a
commanding performance. It was also good to see Evan Peters back. Looks like
he’s going to go from being a tortured soul to a probed one.
The new character that almost stole the
show is the crazy doctor. What asylum doesn’t have a crazy doctor? While he’s
very interesting, of course we all want to know what his experiments are all
about. I was a little confused cause it appeared he was feeding something
downstairs, but the nun was also feeding something in the forest. Are they the
same creatures? What a great conversation between Sister Jude and the doctor.
Loved how they played what seemed like a violin (not a music expert) when key
things were mentioned. Season 1 had a lot of interesting music and sounds so it
looks like they will continue to do that this season, which is fine with me.
I think I will leave it at
that. Definitely excited to have the show back. Season 1 set the bar high, so
let’s see if they can surpass what they accomplished last year. Can’t wait for
the doors of the asylum to open next week!
