I like that it's two weeks away, and we still don't have a subtitle, or theme, or much of any story information at all... A few cast members here and there, but not who's main or just in a couple...

The mystery is fun.

The show itself may forever disappoint, but their marketing has always been top-notch, and I think this has been my favorite campaign so far...

Excited for the premiere. Will stay off Facebook after it starts in other time zones... No spoilers...

Subtitle might be 'My Roanoake Nightmare'. Looks that way, but it wasn't immediately following the AHS, and the main titles were at the end, and without images to go with them...

Lily Rabe -- Shelby Miller
André Holland -- Matt Miller
Denis O'Hare -- William Van Henderson (played Dr. Elias Cunningham)
Wes Bentley -- Dylan (played Ambrose White)
Evan Peters -- Rory Monahan (played Edward Philippe Mott)
Cheyenne Jackson -- Sidney Aaron James
and Angela Bassett -- Monet Tumusiime (played Lee Harris)

Out from 5's Main Cast - Matthew Bomer, Chloe Sevigny, Lady Gaga.
New to the show - Gooding, Holland.
Back after only making quick guest spots in 4 & 5 - Rabe.
-
Paulson, Evans, and Rabe have been in all six seasons.
O'Hare skipped Season 2, but has been in the rest.
Bates and Bassett joined in 3 and have stayed.
Bentley was in 4 & 5.

Heh. OJ and Marcia Clark are a couple...

I'm intrigued. Not the usual over-the-top. Kinda the spookiest it has ever been, I think...

But it wasn't a lot to go on...

I really really like the Asylum one, because the terrifying thing was that shit like this really happened in those days. I have never finished any other season except for that one although I record the mall I've watched two or three and then just given up. Last season was just too weird. I have this one recorded so maybe we'll check it out tonight or soon. I was kind of over Jessica Lange but I'm glad bates is still around

LOL ... we are slow. I said to Chris 'that guy looks like Cuba Gooding Jr.' and Chris said no when they showed André Holland. Then we realized they had different people doing re-enactments.

Intrigued, little spooked out, and definitely in for the season. It's a family show we watch during the day. LOL ... we are all big wimps.

Liked that it took place in NC. Know all the areas they are talking about except the exact location of the house. House is beautiful but way too big and not for me. I would have run the minute I saw the neighbors.

House is freakin' creepy.

I had a dvr oops... thought I'd been set for South Park/AHS at 10, and a re-air of Mr. Robot later... stopped whatever it was I was watching around 9:50, playing my facebook game, planning to watch AHS close-to-'live'... but I look up at 10:10 and 'oh, fuck, it's not recording' and I was on the wrong channel... well, I don't want to wait 'til 11 for the re-air, I shouldn't stay up 'til 12, tired, school tomorrow... so I jumped in after the first commercial, and it took a second to... wait, that's Rabe, not Paulson...

Think this one is set to only be 10 parts, instead of 12 or 13 as before... so if it sucks, well, it's shorter, so that's good...

I liked the premiere. Anxious to see more people...

I like Adina Porter (True Blood) a lot, as Bassett's counterpart.

Paulson's Billie Dean character foreshadowed the season with this speech in 1.11 - “It’s difficult to banish a spirit, but not impossible. The most successful attempt that I know of happened when America was known as the New World… In 1590, on the coast of what we now know as North Carolina, the entire colony of Roanoke — all 117 men, women, and children — died inexplicably. It became known as the Ghost Colony because the spirits remained. They haunted the native tribes living in the surrounding area, killing indiscriminately. The elder knew he had to act. He cast a banishment curse. First, he collected the personal belongings of all the dead colonists. Then he burned them. The ghosts appeared, summoned by their talismans. But before the spirits could cause them any more harm, the elder completed the curse that would banish the ghosts forever. By uttering a single world… the same word found carved on a post at the abandoned colony: Croatoan.” (EW recap typed that up, not me...)

We will probably try it out Sunday night. I like creepy but I thought the last one was very bizarre.

Leslie Jordan was in three episodes of Season 3. Different character, though his guy here, Cricket, name-checked being from New Orleans...

Jennifer Lynch directed this one (#3). Angela Bassett will direct #6.

Still dunno who Peters or Jackson are playing.

Wish they'd done an opening credits sequence - they've always been so good...

This season has bored me so far.

I liked the first one. Story pace maybe a bit slow, yeah, wouldn't mind a bit more progress...

Some cool imagery, but I'm not scared.

#5 finally brought Peters (the only guy to be in all six seasons) in.

And it was nice to see Frances Conroy back (after she sat out 'Hotel'). Funny to see her 'hobble' Shelby from running away, a bit we'll always associate with Bates' most famous movie role...

From the previews, it looks as though #6 will finally bring in the last credited-as-Main-Cast person, Cheyenne Jackson, and be set in the world where the 'docudrama' we've been seeing is a show, and not continuing the 're-enactments'...

Also..

>> * Murphy confirmed that Gaga’s Coven-infused persona is, in fact, the Original Supreme, adding that he plans to bring the character back in a future AHS season that will “return to Coven.”

* The plot of next season’s AHS will not be shrouded in secrecy the way Season 6’s was. “We’re going to announce [the premise] in the spring,” said Murphy. “We’re not doing a secrecy thing, but [next season] does have a big hook behind it.” And, according to Murphy, it involves several Freak Show characters.

It almost seems like the ending last week I don't know where it will go from there

Liked #6. Second half of the season - found footage stuff - looks like it will be more fun.

But it was very tough to swallow real-Matt and real-Shelby going back to the house...

Kinda surprised that Peters' guy - last to arrive in the re-enactment- was the first to go here. But 'dead' never necessarily means we're done with somebody...

Bummed Diana (the producer that said 'fuck this' and tried to escape) died so quick... I liked her (Shannon Lucio).

One survives. First couple guesses... Bates' insane actress or Porter's real-Lee. Or maybe Audrey (Paulson's actress).

Yes this is kind of an interesting spin on the story I wouldn't have thought of but it almost seems better than the original story.

Holy shit have they become gruesome. I can handle a lot of x's in the head but this is really extreme. How many left? There's hardly a character Left Alive

I was surprised to see Robin Weigart show up on this episode. What a talent she is. I have been a fan of her since she played Calamity Jane on Deadwood. But I have seen her play straight roles on Law & Order and such so she is quite the chameleon. Kathy Bates seems to be Hamming it up quite a bit. I wonder if everybody stood around laughing and drinking after some of these shoots

Think there are ten, and this was seven... (I still have about a half-hour left, got sleepy last night..)

Love Weigert (yeah, you saw her on Sons of Anarchy for a few years, too...). She did an episode of Season 2 (Asylum).

I don't know how there can be anyone left to bludgeon to death.

Still alive -
Audrey, Lee, and Monet (the Polks have them).
Shelby and Dominic - at the house.

Three episodes left. Finale is on 11/16.

Finn Wittrock is one of the Polk boys. (Chaz Bono, by the way, was one of the Polks in 'My Roanoke Nightmare', and then he was also shown last week officiating at Audrey and Rory's wedding..)

Murphy tweeted today that Paulson's Season 2 character (Lana) will be returning in Roanoke (which is weird, but not unprecedented, as she also reprised her Season 1 character in the Season 5 finale).

Also, there's going to be a full-fledged Murder House/Coven crossover season one of these days (but it won't be 7). http://www.ew.com/article/2016/10/30/ahs-murder-house-coven-crossover-season?

Well I started every season but the only one I watched all the way through before this was asylum, so the connections were lost on me. I thought the show started out strong and then just deteriorated after about 6 episodes. If they had just left it a horror story and then not gone into a series about the series and this finale which I thought sucked greatly. I know there's something pathological about this reality business that's why we have a gropenfuhrer as our pres elect now, but this was Karen get a couple steps too far and in my opinion it just got totally stupid.

I liked the starts of each half, and thought they ended 'okay', and had both good and bad bits in their middles.

Overall, I liked 6 probably third-best, after the first two.

Right. The only connection you could/should have gotten was that Paulson's older character in the finale - that's her character from Asylum, shortly after she killed her son (Bloody Face/Dylan McDermott).
