Ok, this episode kind of slayed.
May i just say they should just go ahead and rename this to American Horror Story: Dandy ?Its seriously the only horror element of the show. Nothing about the 'freakshow' is horror. Dandy's ark on the other hand is truly a horror masterpiece. Dandy could very well end up as one of the most iconic fictional serial killers. Ryan really has created a legend. Its amazing how we were thought to believed Twisty was the main killer and focus, and Dandy just came out of nowhere and SWIPED.
That opening scene was so intense and disturbing

And the blood pool
The only reason i'm watching this show is to see how Dandy's story unfolds. I could care less about the freakshow.
All those gay/sex scenes are seriously ruining the horror premise of the show. Its just too much and unnecessary.
And say what you want about Sarah Paulson but her acting this episode was INCREDIBLE. She's such a gifted actress. The way she acted those scenes, the character interaction, her acting both characters perfectly. I honestly felt that those were 2 different personalities, i felt she was real. She deserves an Emmy for that scene alone.
