It will probably suck.
I will probably watch anyway.

is evan peters still trapped within this series

I think Peters played 4 different characters last season. Maybe they'll give him even more this time.
Last season was a nice rebound after the terrible cult one the year before, mostly because they could draw on the previous years stories in a meaningful way. I'm not optimistic about this one.

this has turned into a guilty pleasure show for me. I’ve learned to just watch for actors rather than the actual story because it usually ends up really rushed or confusing.

last season was Evan Peters for me, and this season will be for him again. He is fantastic.

if there’s a good storyline that doesn’t get unnecessarily messy with three episodes left in the season causing a mad scramble to tie up loose ends by the finale, then that’s just an added bonus at this point.

He may be fantastic but he's not in Season 9.

I'm going by what's listed at IMDb.

Yea Peters took off this season.

Cult was good, last year was a mess. This year looks very basic and could be very good so i'll give it a shot as I always do. But at this point I never have my hopes up.

Did anyone watch episode one?

I'm not sure where they're going yet, but I'm pretty sure I already see connections to other seasons. The guy on the road I think is a ghost, Richard Ramirez was also on Hotel and I'm pretty sure someone is a witch and a warlock. As well as the same actor who played the Antichrist last season, could very well still be the Antichrist.

When it comes to this show, nothing is as it seems, and they have you examining every scene since the end of Cult when they confirmed the Ally was a witch. I still love it though.

I notice none of the "regulars" are in it this season.

They'll probably wipe out this cast in episode 4 or 5, and bring in the regulars. "Surprise Twist"...

Evan Peters isn't in this season and Sarah Paulson is limited because she is filming the series Ratched about the nurse from One flew over the Cuckoo's nest. It's also produced by Ryan Murphy for Netflix. I haven't looked into the other characters, probably because I'm happy with Emma Roberts.

I guess you missed the last part of the first post.

Regulars I first thought of were Paulson, Bates, Bassett, Rabe, Lange, Peters.

Yeah - I guess you could say that outside of Emma Roberts it's mostly the B Squad regulars showing up for this season.

Went off the rails in the middle, but the most recent couple episodes have been entertaining. One more to go.

Actually there are 2 episodes left in this season - Rest in Pieces ( Nov. 6th ) and Final Girl ( Nov. 13th ).

I've strangely enjoyed this season, The last few years the show has taken itself seriously and wanted twists and turns and oh my god moments of shock. This years is more straight forward, and making fun of not only the 80's but the slasher films that we grew up with let alone combining it and making fun of slasher 80's films has been great.

 

[Deen]

As usual the whole plot falls apart at the end. It's like they can only write 2/3's of a season every time.

 

[zombie kopitar]

I might enjoy this season if it's more goofy with that 80's vibe like Stranger Things

Glee was a guilty pleasure show of mine and his OJ/Versace crime dramas were great.
I've watched a few seasons for this halloween season and felt underwhelmed. It seems it's just like Glee where it has so much promise but it gets derailed by too many storylines and some ugly dialog and poor execution.

Hotel 3/10; too much crap going on, lady gaga couldn't act at this point in her career...it gets very cringe. Especially Kathy Bates and her storyline. Sarah Paulson killed it though.
Roanoke 6/10; I adored the first half, then it tapered off. Could have been shortened and executed better. I enjoyed how meta it was, which apparently a lot did not.
Apocalypse 1/10; I had to speed watch through this, it started off good enough, then I dont know wtf happend, it was horrible in every way.

Season finale tonight.

These threads sure have become quiet lately.

This season had its moments but was enjoyable overall. The ending was nice. "So predictable", as many will gripe, but I'll say it now: who cares!?

The ending did feel a bit rushed after stretching so many other things out, but that's par for the course too.

Honestly, this show has never been "great" IMO, but this season was one of their better efforts. Murder House (1), Asylum (2), Roanoke (6) and 1984 (9) are my personal favorites and I think they held the story together in the 2nd half of the season better than usual.
