13 episode 3rd season

If you have not seen the previous 2 seasons or bailed from either of them, you will have no problems watching this. This is a new, self-contained story arc.

I admit, I liked season 1, but wasn't a huge fan of Asylum.

I'm sure many of you are already massively behind on shows, so taking on yet another 13 hour series will be a struggle.

I am definitely massively behind on shows but I'll be watching this tonight!

dex14

I love the cast on this one.

OldBoy

looking forward to another awesome season.

TGM

loved S1, hated (and stopped watching) S2... we'll see how tonight goes.

Raul3

Loved the first two.

I can't wait for this one. Watching it live.

Groucho

Based on the episode title, Aaron Paul better show up at some point.

RichC2

Wtf is FX doing, seriously, the two shows I watch on the network regularly air at the exact same time.

dex14

Atleast they re-air all their stuff multiple times throughout the night.

OldBoy

100% @ RT

yeek

My exact sentiment, except I trudged through and finished the second season...

Dragon Tattoo

Didn't watch the previous seasons, but I'll tune in tonight. Promos have been interesting and I love me some witches.

Is it correct that every season is standalone?

majorjoe23

Correct.

RichC2

I don't think there was so much as a jokey reference to Season 1 during Season 2. Completely stand alone.

Spiderbite

I am going to give it a try. I never saw Season 1 but watched part of Season 2 and absolutely hated it. Season 2 was one of the few shows that I have ever quit watching in the middle of a season. Didn't miss it at all.

DVDsucker

Started w/Season 2, then retro'ed S1. Loved them both and looking forward to this one.

Troy Stiffler

The standalone thing was a little disappointing too. I thought season 1 was going somewhere with an Anti-Christ arc. Like they'd build up five "standalone" seasons, and then go back in season 6. Something like that could have been epic.

Can't complain. This is one of the five-or-so shows that I look forward to.

RichC2

Save for the Pilot (which was a bit overreaching) Season 1 was much better than Season 2.

Paff

I LOVE the fact that AHS seasons are standalone. It's key for a horror-related series, as we have no idea whether or not a character will survive. With any series, unless the actor is leaving the show (or getting fired), you know he/she will be around next week. AHS has cleverly figured out a way to retain actors from season to season, and yet keep the element of danger. Because with the standalone concept, someone could be a corpse this season, and still be back next season as a totally different character.

Not every show needs a grand "mythology". More often than not, it paints the writers into a corner where they HAVE to address the concepts they brought up in early episodes (see: How I Met Your Mother)

Tom Creo

Fuck ya'll. Season 2 is the shit. Loved that incredible ending.


Can't wait for tonight.

DVDsucker

That's what I meant to say but couldn't put the words together.

Tom Creo

West Coasters, dont watch the season preview after the show.

Ranger

Episode was a bit disappointing. But I guess I had high expectations. Should get better.

Troy Stiffler

Yea yea yea. I don't make the shows. But I do like pretending! I would have ended Breaking Bad in a very bleak way. But that's just me.

This premiere was ok for the most part. I think this season will be good after seeing the season preview. I liked season 2 except for a couple of storylines.
