So I watched the pilot of American Horror Story and it will not be possible to categorize my thoughts about it. I'm not sure if I like it but I will definitely keep watching for at least a couple episodes. It feels like something that would be right up Clive Barker's alley (if you're familiar with his stories rather than the films), were the gay stereotypes removed. As with most TV shows I find half of the actors annoyingly bad, but Jessica Lange was pretty enjoyable and I cannot wait for ZQ to show up.
I really can't pass up remarking, though, that if the mom is going to be mostly "characterized" by her adherence to organic products I'm going to gag at the writing. By the end of the ep I was convinced that might be building up to something because it was brought up a ridiculous amount of times.
Also, this show has the potential to not be so good for people with pregnancy/miscarriage triggers cause woah, they could be taking this to an unsettling place.
What I can't help wondering is, on the chance that the show is continued for very long, will the family survive, or will new characters be introduced, maybe every season, and keep dying? And then reappear in later episodes as dead people? XD

I'm finally done with the writing-the-thing-rather-than-editing-it of my big bang, though I kind of feel like I hate the ending and may end up rewriting it for the tenth time. It's longer than the one I wrote last year.

hehehe, well, i don't know if this is what you intended, but from your review all i took away was:

crap, crap, ZQ will be in it!!!!!, crap, crap, crap...

;) :P

keep us updated on what it's like when ZQ is in it, hehe.

Haha, will do :) That is if I don't get tired of it before then.

hehe, yeah! sounds like it might be best to wait until the turns up and then just watch the highlights on youtube ;).
i have a very low tolerance for most tv series and books before they start boring me though. :/

Yeah, I haven't heard much of anything good about him. None of his others shows have really appealed to me enough for me to try them in the first place so this is the first time I've watched anything he's done (with the exception of like half of a Glee episode).

What's the main premise of this series? Haven't heard of it. And despite everything you mention, should I give it a try? (I've a dozen more series to watch, but I'm always on the lookout for more :P)

It's about a family that's been through a miscarriage and some other difficult stuff who have just moved into a house where supposedly Bad Things have happened to all the previous owners. So not exactly highly original, haha, but it has its own bizarre touches. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but it's definitely interesting.

all right then, I'll check it out.
