It's that time a year again where you can find pumpkins galore, all the candy corn you could want, and a beautiful new season of "American Horror Story." "American Horror Story" has become a staple of fall television among every age group. Why? Well, simply because it's awesome. Since its fifth season debut this past Wednesday Oct. 7, everyone has been buzzing about whether this season will be good or not. While the episode is not the best episode in "AHS" history, it is still entertaining. This episode, however, does leave the viewer with a lot of questions. Here are the top five questions I had while watching "American Horror Story: Hotel."
1. Where is Evan Peters?
This is the question that consumed me during and after the hour and a half premiere. Undoubtedly, Evan Peters has become a staple of "American Horror Story." Even if you don't think he's cute, you still (likely) think that he's an amazing actor. He's become the fangirls dream. It just didn't feel like AHS without him making an appearance in the episode. While he wasn't in the first episode, he is supposed to be making an appearance in episode 2, which just means that we will have to watch the next show to finally see him.
2. Why do all the guys look/dress the same?
Ok I know they're going for the grunge, vampirish type of look, but so far a lot of the male roles look the same. The look got to be a bit redundant when new characters were introduced. But oh well, at least the guys are cute.
3. What's with all the blood?
Season 5 is definitely going for a more bloody, gruesome type of horror. It got to the point, however, where it was just too much. I mean this season is already way more explicit than any of the other seasons so far. It just became predictable, gross, and tiresome after a while. The drug use is also heavy throughout the episode, and seems likely to continue throughout the season.
4. Why is Lady Gaga obsessed with children?
Yeah, children are great. But it seems like Lady Gaga's character is obsessed with taking other people's children and turning them into her own. She also keeps these stolen children hoarded in her hotel behind a secret door. The weird thing is, is that these children treat her like she really is their real mother. Hopefully this topic is addressed in detail later in the season. It's super weird, but Lady Gaga does it.
5. When did Lady Gaga become such an amazing actress?
I knew that Lady Gaga was either going to be amazing or simply suck in this season. So far she's amazing. Her acting is great, and her character seems to have an interesting story line. She's also able to keep a mysterious vibe around her character without trying too hard, which is refreshing. I can't wait to see how her character progresses throughout the season.
While "AHS Hotel" is worthwhile, I don't believe that it's going to be the best season ever. The characters seem interesting, and there are a lot of ways the plot could take. It appears that "American Horror Story: Hotel" will not disappoint.
