AMERICAN HORROR STORY on FX — Page 11

That episode made me feel bad. Like, sad, sunk and hopeless.

It's a good episode, just glad it wasn't the season-ender.

If she was in the house, couldn't she technically have been seen by anyone else there? The rules as to when ghosts are visible and when they are not have never been clear, but everyone who comes in that house seems to be able to see Moira and there seems to be absolutely no physical difference between the living and the dead in that house, not to mention the fact that they can also touch and carry and move things. Since Violet didn't know she was dead I think it's possible her parents may have seen her after her death. Maybe? I dunno. I don't want to think this too through because I don't expect the show to go in that much nuance about it.

Violet died in the episode after Halloween and I think the doctor said she'd missed sixteen days of school, so I guess it could be around three weeks (depending on whether or not she was skipping school before she killed herself).

ETA: I don't think I'm really answering JerseyGirl's question, now that I reread it. Are you asking how they are going to comprehend that they've seen Violet walking around after they find her body?

Ryan Murphy has (rather easily) explained about when people can see ghosts as simply that the house allows you to see what you're ready to see and when it wants you to see...

Hrmm

Anyway, it does make sense (I think Murphy in interviews seems a bit pissed that so many of us fans of the show guessed Violet was dead a few weeks back). Tate also told Violet that the ghosts couldn't hurt you and she could send them away--once she was a ghost, since it's obvious that the ghosts CAN hurt--and not be so easily sent away at whim, the living people in the house.

There's a somewhat interesting interview with Violet's actress: http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/12/08/american-horror-story-taissa-farmiga-viole/

And as usual an interview on the episode with Murphy (I always get so annoyed reading his interviews--maybe he should let someone else be his mouth piece, but it has some interesting bits)

Oh wait, did we just this week find out she died? I'm just now watching last night's show.

LOL, Thanks Eric!!!!

---

Oy, this show! And three episodes in a row that didn't totally frustrate me. Make me feel depressed and gross, sure, but at least the goddamn story is moving.

I didn't watch the previews for next week, but I'm sure it's gonna be a doozy.

wow just wow.....that last scene was so sad....and Addy did tell Viven in the first episode....can't wait for next week

---

HOLY CRAP! I just watched last night's show and I have to say - that is the best one yet!

---

Oh, I didn't want Constance to get her hands on the baby!!! I thought the ifanta from the opening scene looked too grownup. It didn't have a toddler head. It kind of reminded me of Nosferatu. Loved Chad in this episode--and that her realized he wouldn't/shouldn't be raising the twins with his boyfriend.

Amazing episode. Next weeks session finale (insert ridiculously sad face here) looks epic.

2nd baby came out first and it was stillborn...I wonder if it died in the house will it be a ghost too?
