Multiply Thy Pain

This season is off to a good start. More creep and psychological intrigue than gore, but every time Kim Kardashian was on the screen, I cringed. She's not bad, but not good either. I kept thinking there's some real actress out there needing a big break, and instead they give the role to a celebutante. Episode is great at leaving me in suspense.

Emma Roberts is very good in this, and was a smart choice for the lead. Matt Czuchry is not bad as the male lead. No other character had enough screen time to see how they are. Also seems this season will skip some of the tropes of the previous seasons.

This season premiere of AHS may have the most underwhelming performances of any episode I've seen. The best part of it was Kim Kardashian's surprisingly "decent" acting. I really don't understand why they cast Emma Roberts as the central character. Her acting has never been great and she does NOT fit the character. Not to mention her history of being difficult to work with. I really hope this season picks up. If Brad and Ryan are going to continue this show, they need to do something special because the interest of the fans I know has been fading. This is typical of long-running shows though. Sarah and Evan have moved on and it really hurts the show. I think Brad and Ryan need to take their time with the next season to give fans something really special. Don't rush it if it's going to feel lackluster. A writer should never force a release just for the sake of releasing something.

I am just a big AHS fan, I love the crazyness they produce, but when I read that Kim Kardashian was joining the show, I really wanted to skip this season.. But I'm a softy and I do love the show immensly and I am curious about the plot and I shouldn't judge someone I don't know. BUT now as I'm watching, this woman appears on the screen and talks and it is annoying and SO SO bad. It's not even acting.. I don't know how many takes they did, but if this was the best take, I'm worried.. I know.. well actually HOPE she won't be on screen too much. But I worry.. do I press play? It's not even Halloween but I'm already scared, the horror. Why did they do this? Why do we deserve this punishment?

Hello Brad & Ryan, do we HAVE to watch this horror that is Kim Kardashian ?? How much worse can your casting go.. true that Kim is pure horror from the way she butchered herself to now.. but still .. we want real horror.. not NO-BODIES who have made fame with sex tapes and..... well... nothing.. sorry but I will not watch any further ! Was there no one else available, are you that desperate?? Hope you did not pay a lot for this nitwit to appear in the legendary series that AHS once was.. So disappointed as she can't act for one dime.. She looks like a wax figure from Madame Tussaud's .. really.. Where's Jessica Lang when you need her ??

After a few months of anticipation We Just couldn't wait for this season to start. The episode started and a few minutes later I was nodding off. Maybe they should have done that 2 episode release for this one, because this just can't be from the creators that brought the earlier seasons. It seemed pretty amateur. I just didn't get the normal spooky, creepy moodiness. Does someone think just filming every scene in low light equates moody? For me, the atmosphere really makes everything else shine in the stories, so perhaps this story doesn't need the atmos normally seen and the story will become a little clearer. So hopefully epi 2 will setup whats to come a little better...
