S10 // "AMERICAN HORROR STORY" SEASON 2 EPISODES 6, 7, 8 and 9 REVIEW....


//POR RIKI LEE// 16 DICIEMBRE / 12....

 IN FULL ENGLISH....OK...BETWEEN TOO MANY SHOWS ETC...and me WAITING IF THIS 2ND SEASON was getting ANYWHERE....I DECIDED TO WAIT until the MID FINALE, which to me doesn´t make any sense...but anyway, I waited for episode 9 to make sense of what has been going on...So let me see IF I GOT THIS....
AHS - S2 EPISODE 6: "THE ORIGINS OF MONSTROSITY"....

 EP 6 adds one more theme to the already COMPLEX STORY that is "AHS: ASYLUM"...

 Now we have NECRO DOCS with acute MOMMY DISORDER / SERIAL KILLER SYNDROME ( I really didn't see that one coming... ), the Monsignior is working with the NAZI Dr. Arden ( who gets a flashback ), Sister Jude is out of the asylum and back on the street, Shelly is dead...And there is a strange little girl who is killing her friends and family...By the way, THE DEVIL WEARS RED....Yes, Sister Mary is prancing around in Sister Jude´s undergarmets...That sums up this weeks episode of AHS: A.

 Now my personal opinion on this episode is that...well, the creators and writers got together one day...and said: "Hey, we really had the fans guessing last season...SO...LETS FøCK WITH THEM SOME MORE!!"...And thus, they made sure that SEASON 2 WAS A DISTURBING as possible, and there´s still no solid path this storyline is going to pan out to, but unlike the past few episodes, with this one, the story is actually taking an interesting turn as to the story behind BLOODY FACE where it goes from here?  Well we know that THE KILLER ITSELF is alive and well..or so it seems as he took out the BLOODY FACE IMPOSTORS and called the police after he did what he did to them.  So this adds a interesting twist as to whats going on.
AHS - S2 EPISODE 7: "DARK COUSIN"....


 Grace is in a near death state as SISTER MARY and Dr. Arden argue about the procedure performed on the poor woman...You see "THE VISITORS" played nip tuck with Grace´s reproductive system....Arden? NOTHING TO DO WITH IT....And while that is going on...the nutcases in the asylum are getting even worse as a patient injures himself with a bread cutter leaving a name in Aramaic, thus ending up in isolation where the patient meets a Black winged ANGEL / DEMON ( DEATH, played by actress Frances Conroy, the MAID FRON AHS: S1.... ), an entity that he seems to have summoned and one that offers a kiss that makes everything go away...In other words....HE DIED!!!!
 And it seems....whatever resides within Sister Mary is related to this entity. We find about this after they encounter each other.

 Meanwhile, the mentally disturbed Dr. Thredson is living out his sick little fantasy with Lana as the constant threat of death lingers between them....NO WAIT....The dark angel actually visits Lana since her desire for death has called her but the angel of death tells "NOT YET!"...SEASON´S NOT OVER!!!  Lana encounters / escapes the Doc or BLOODYFACE if you will, only to only end up in a vehicle with a suicide bound man as the angel of death watches on in the backseat....Lana survives that sh1T as well only to wake up...YOU KNOW WHERE....Afterwards, she tells Mary Eunice about Dr. Thredson and why Lana takes a pill because Mary Eunice tells her she is safe eludes me. 

 And Sister Jude´s issues flashback all of us to her little dark secret of her hit and run story plays out...and it´s back to 64 and Jude´s suicidal thoughts racing through her mind....CUE DEATH...
We hear of Judes earlier sadness, including a fiancee who gave her syphilis and called her a whore....So afterwards, Jude visits the parents of the girl she ran over, saying she was her teacher.  But the parents hold a baby, their granddaughter.  Turns out Missy only had a few broken bones, but "the monster who left her there, has to live with himself"..Looks like somebody got PUNK´D...

 Then we have KIT...oh dear...FORGET HIS CASE, GRACE is more important...Frank the guard tells Sister Mary that Kit Walker has escaped custody.  We see him running, then Grace in the bakery.  A nun says she will have to go when she’s done cleaning, when Kit enters. A growling man attacks them ( WTF WAS THAT...an F´N MUTANT? )...Then the guard appears and shoots KIT, BUT GRACE TAKES THE BULLET, and dies as the angel of death appears....

 Personal thought on this episode.....Well I can't say that it has been a dull run for my money,
although the many faces of this seasons plot twist is enough to drive someone into a facility such as the Briarcliff Mental Institution....but the story seems somewhat steady, although confusing.  It's like Ford Fairlane would say: "..it's like masturbating with a cheese grate, Slightly amusing...YET VERY PAINFUL."
 This story alike with "GAME OF THRONES"...NO ONE is safe as we most def will see other characters die off within the next few eps....BUUUuuut...this episode was one of those confusing ones...Why do I say this?  Simple, they had landed on the main storyline which was the legend of BLOODYFACE and once again they jumped of that track like an EMO TEENAGER jumping off the face of a cliff after finding out that EVERYBODY HATES HIM.

 Did I like this episode..Yes, but I just wish it was a little more concrete storyline wise.

AHS - S2 EPISODE 8: "UNHOLY NIGHT"....

 Leigh Emerson ( "DEADWOOD´S" IAN McSHANE ), a psychotic inmate whose claim to fame is his love for dressing up as Santa ( BAD SANTA?? ) and being a general madman.  His stay at the asylum has been spent inside solitary confinement after an incident involving the loss of an orderly’s face which was a tasty snack for Emerson.  And even though that’s all in the past, the revelation that this guy is genuinely insane isn’t built up for nothing.

 Sister Mary Eunice is still possessed and setting up Christmas in the asylum for her ( WHAT? )....  Ironically, the demon seems much more giddy about putting up decorations than any of the inmates, orderlies or security guards are.  The menace that Sister Mary holds over the asylum has slowly been building ever since her possession and to see her practically run the place with those under her cowering in fear is awesomely devious. 
 But wait, Sister Jude worked her way back to Briarcliff and...oh oh....is quickly put in her place, losing her power and becoming a victim just like many of the inmates....OUCH.  Her history with Emerson comes out from the shadows, revealing that even if she is a bit of a nut, perhaps Jude was in the best position to run the asylum.  Seeking to end Mary’s rule, Jude and Dr. Arden decide to team up to take her down.  However, Dr. Arden is still securely in Mary’s grasp, albeit unwillingly.

 Lana finds out that Kit has returned to Briarcliff, and she reveals to him that Dr. Thredson is the real Bloody Face, leading both trying to find a way to prove Kit’s innocence.  This isn’t too hard since Thredson returns to the asylum to finish Lana, but after Kit manages to knock him out, they tie him up and leave him in a storage closet until they can find a way to get Kit off the hook for the murders.  This is easier said than done since Dr. Thredson has done his clean up job destroyed all evidence of Bloody Face that he has held on to.

Sister Mary releases Emerson from solitary and gives him the greatest gift of all: a brand new Santa suit and the ability to walk the asylum freely.  Within minutes he attempts to slash a security guard to death, but just as he’s returned to his cell, Sister Mary reveals her true intentions for releasing him.  She sends Emerson into Sister Jude’s office and locks them in so that they can have a nice little get - together and reminisce on his multiple canings at her hands.  Afterwards, Sister Jude’s escape is nicely orchestrated....COOL EP.
AHS - S2 EPISODE 9: "THE COAT HANGER"....

 In episode NUMBER 9...THE CHRISTMAS BREAK EPISODE...Dylan McDermott ( SEASON 1´s BEN HARMON ) returns in S2 as John Morgan, a man trying to overcome compulsions. There is one, small problem: Morgan's compulsions involve skinning women.

 In the opening scene...viewers learn that Dylan McDermott's character is actually the SON OF DR. THREDSON....or BLOODY FACE...He isn't a doctor like his father, just a mentally - deranged killer.  He is LUKE SKYWALKER GONE WRONG (Bet'cha didn't see this one coming.)....Lana is pregnant and it's with Dr. Thredson's baby.

 Wait lets recap here: ALIENS, CREATURES, multiple BLOODY FACES and the DEVIL, NECROS, NAZIS, ETC.  I assumed Santa was killed by Sister Jude.  Unfortunately for Sister Jude, Santa survived and he gives police a remarkably well put - together story about Sister Jude trying to kill him and killing Frank, the Briarcliff security guard...and all 3 of them all told the police that Sister Jude lost her mind and went on a killing spree.  Now Sister Jude finds herself as an inmate at Briarcliff for the rest of her life.  Did Sister Jude have this coming after the way she treated patients at Briarcliff? I can't help but feel sorry for Sister Jude as she represents an aspect of good compared to Dr. Arden and Sister Mary Eunice.

 Lana uses her MONSTER BABY to get Dr. Thredson to admit to killing and skinning women.  The entire time, Kit is recording Thredson's admission of guilt ( SMART, for once!! )....Annnd this is where I give credit to the show.....Something that I even said..( OK THIS IS FUCKED UP!! ) Lana attempts a home abortion...WITH A HANGER!!!"

 The son of Bloody Face has no patience after a couple of hypno therapy sessions he took out his therapist. (He could have at least given it a few sessions before murdering the son of a bitch).
Personal opinion on this MID-SEASON FINALE.

 Well...FINALLY...AFTER 4 EPISODES....THIS is going somewhere....but as to the possibility of the alien story line...well I don't think there is much that can be played out aside from the "ALIENS MADE ME DO IT" theme, but that would really hurt the actual storyline...In which case, I don't think the fans will take it too lightly.  The introduction of Dylan McDermott's character was a nice touch to the storyline but where this will end...Not even I am sure of what will be the final outcome of this show!!!  HERE ARE SOME LINKS...HOPE they work.
