Mess. They say it like 'joyless' is necessarily a bad thing when Asylum was a constant barrage of darkness and depression and that is the best season.
Right? And that's why Asylum felt the most like real horror. In some moments everything felt so hopeless for all characters, there wasn't any joy or anything. I'm totally here for Hotel leaning to that direction again and never do smth like Coven again

Exactly. Everything about that season was disturbing in the best way possible. It was terrifying to watch and one of the few chances where you had a chance to catch your breath from it is during 'The Name Game' scene.
Gaga delivers only a few clipped lines of dialogue, but who cares? She’s gloriously photographed, in a venue where strands-of-hair placement are vital, plot scarcely matters, and sensual pleasures invariably go hand in hand with buckets of blood.
Wow! Brian Lowry put into words what I've always felt about AHS.
This show has always been about the spectacle to me.
Is this season just going to devastate the hotel industry? Am I going to find myself canceling my upcoming hotel stay?
It may indeed. It may indeed. At the very least, it will have people looking under the hotel bed, in the closet, behind the shower curtain. Let me tell you now, it’ll scare you more than bed bugs. I guarantee it.
When and what did Ryan first tell you about the character you’d be playing this season? And let's point out, you’re headlining the season.
I know! I’m No. 1 on the call sheet. That was very nice. The only thing he told me, in the early stages, was her name and that she would be running the hotel. And … wait. what else did he tell me at the first pitch? I can’t remember. Oh, darn it. But it was very minimal.
What can you tell me about what your character's relationship will be like with that of Lady Gaga's character? She plays the hotel owner -- and your character's son is her lover. That can't be a totally peachy situation.
I can't tell you! It has to be a tricky dynamic, don't you think? But I didn't shoot a lot with her in the first few episodes, so I don't know for sure yet.
Talk about the crossword component. This has to take on an eerie quality on a show like this.
I forgot about where that came from. I’m actually a sudoku person. I’m all about them. I will say this, someone who does crossword puzzles, they do it usually to wait, to kill time. So that’s all I can say about that. I think Iris is waiting. She also has to keep the hotel running smoothly — all the things that go on in the hotel, the events, whatever, the way of the hotel, she has to do all of that and keep that going.
There's a lot of pretty men this season--
Very. I must say I flirted with Wes the other day.
Did you? Wait. Was it you flirting or was Iris flirting?
It was Iris flirting! Honey, I’d be too shy. I would say her style is sort of like Mae West, only modern day. She doesn't hold back, that Iris. I'll leave it at that.
I feel like that dream should be the basis of next season’s storyline. Before I forget: Is there anything scarier than Twisty this season?
Oh, yeah.
Really??
Really. And I don’t know — where it comes from will just shock the ... out of you. Don't say I didn't warn you.
